and Friday morning 300 bushels were

The news comes by way of Rockland
that Capt. George A. Gilchrist is to
build one or more schooners in Thorn
aston this season. While this rum Or
cannot be verified owing to Capt. Gill
christ's absence from Belfast, there
is little or no doubt of its truth. He is
expected home Saturday, however,
when more particulars can be learned.
1t is deeply regretted that Belfast
yards are not utilized during the pres
ent building boom for there is need
of work in the city. There is little or
no house building this spring and out
side of the shoe factory and other
shops there is but little business. Ger
tainly Belfast is not enjoying the boom
that nearly every other city and town
in the country is.
