try

1t was on the morning of February
Sth, 1916 that the buildings of the
Savage Manufacturing Company were
burned to the ground and it was on
zens of Skowhegan expressed feel
ings of keen regret that this striving
industry should be completely destroy
ed But the best of this story is to
come. 1t is a story of perseverance
in the face of almost overwhelming
difficulties, the story of pluck and de-
termination.
During the three months subsequent
to the fire a great many of the towns
people inquired whether or not the
plant was to be rebuilt The first
move, indicating beyond a doubt that
it would be, was made less than four
months after the fire and today as one
looks across the river from Water
street, his eye is greeted by the sight
OF the large building depicted above,
a building which has been raised from
the ashes by sheer pluck. Situated
in the heart of the town of Skowhe-
gan it is a silent witness of the fact
that there are men who believe in
Skowhegan and all that it stands for.
Thru the courtesy of the Treasurer
and General Manager of the Company,
E, l.. Savage, the Reporter representa-
tive recently took a trip thru the new
building. Mr.. Savage, in an inter
esting manner pointed out the various
departments of the building and dis
cussed the work which was to be done
in each department. On entering the
plant we came to the wood depart
per is planed and barked. This room
is 20x42 feet and is equipped with an
overhead swinging wood cut-up saw
with a large barker connected. After
the bark has been removed the peeled
log drops thru a chute to the grinder
room where it is converted into pulp.
In this room a large hydraulic grind
er, a product of the Glen Falls Ma
chine Co., of Clan Falls, n. Y, has
been installed. The motive power
for this huge machine is obtained
thru a pair of new American turbines

The Liars Mound.

Dyaks, natives of Borneo, are ex-
tremely truthful. SO disgraceful,
indeed, do the Dyaks consider the
deceiving of others by an untruth
that such conduct is handed down
to posterity by a curious custom.
They heap up pile of the branches
of trees in memory of the man who
has uttered a great lie so that the
future generations may know of his
wickedness and take warning from
it. The persons deceived start the
"tugong bula"-the liars mound
by heaping a large number of
branches in some conspicuous spot
by the side of the path from one
village to another. Every passerby
contributes to it and at the same
time curses the man in memory of
whom it is, The Dyaks consider the
adding to any tugong bula they may
pass a sacred duty, the omission of
which will meet with supernatural
punishment.

that she wished to see me at once.
/ went right round. / didn't see
anything unusual in her appearance,
which surprised me when she told
me why she wished to see me. And
what do you suppose it was? Her
father had heard of her climbing
and, very much astonished and an
gered, asked her what it meant,
whereupon she told him her scheme.
He fumed and fretted for u whole
day, then gave in. But he insisted
on my leaving the steeplejack trade

Nonsense. 1 never intended to
climb it."
