BIG TIMBERLAND DEAL.
About Sixteen Thousand Acres on
Union River Waters Sold.

ABOUT sixteen InOusanQ Acres on
Union River Waters Sold.
A big deal in timberland property on
Union river waters has just been closed,
some 16, 600 acres changing hands and over
$100, ZOO being involved. The purchaser is
the Dead River Timberland 20. of Boston,
and the largest interests in the land sold
were held by DIR. A. e. Hagerthy of Ellis
worth, DR.. r. +. Hagerthy of Sedgwick
and Mrs. J. T. Giles of Ellsworth. The
deal was put through by Howard B.
Moor of Ellsworth, who has realized a
handsome commission.
The largest tracts OF land included in
the purchase are in township 2 in Penob-
scot county, which is on the Buffalo, and
in the town of Aurora.
The transfer OF this property will mea n
extensive operations on the headwaters OF
Union river next winter. The purchasers
have also secured dam rights on the river
and tributaries, and will during the
coming summer rebuild and repair dams
and camps, giving work TO many men.
1t is underst ood that some 5000 will be
laid out in this preparatory work.
The company will operate primarily in
pulp wood, and besides the operations on
their own land, will furnish II market for
pulp to small ow wners Of lin oerlano
on the river
The company has also acquired land
ing or shipping point for lumber at Ellis
worth Falls, just above the railroad bridge
and on the west side of the river, where q
siding and Plant for taking the pulp-wood
from the river and loading on cars will be
put in. This piece OF property was pur-
chased few years ago with just such an
object in view, and was really the deter
mining factor in the deal just closed. The
owners OF this piece were Mrs. j. T. Giles
A. w. King and M. Moor.
The operation here. will mean much Il

BRlMMER's BRIDGE.
Special City Meeting Next Monday
Evening to Consider Rebuilding.

Special City Meeting Next Monday
Evening to Consider Rebuilding.
A special meeting OF the city govern
ment will be held at 7.30 o'clock next
Monday evening, to consider the neces-
sity OF rebuilding Brimmer's bridge. The
bridge is in dangerous condition for
travel, and has sunken SO close to the
water level that it is predicted it will
surely go out with the spring freshets.
At the request of the city government,
William H. Brown has made careful in
spection OF the bridge and an estimate OF
the cost of new bridge. The repair Of
the present bridge is out of the question.
MIR. Brown estimates the cost of a new
wooden bridge at about q 800.
This estimate contemplates'a consider
able I'LL at either end of. the present idge,
leaving a span OF sixty-three feet raised
safe distance a above the water. The chan
mel OF the river at this point is surprisingly
deep, the bed Of the river being thirty
nine feet below the bottom OF the present
bridge, which is less than two feet above
the water to-day.
j. aterial for the fill at either end is con-
venient, and the work Of hauling the rock
from adjoining fields can be done now at
consider saving and without damage
to the fields, hence the desirsbility OF an
early decision.
This is now Q detour road, and the
bridge must be built to withstand heavy
automobile traffic. For this reason it is
hoped that State aid may be obtained for
rebuilding the bridge.
All interested are invited to attend the
special meeting of the city government
next Monday evening.

Dear Doctor and Mrs. Lewis:
The package I received recently
gives me the opportunity that have
been neglecting of writing you. The
pleasure of receiving these Red Cross
gifts was augmented by the fact that
it was surprise. These things are
being supplied freely to the men buS
tine of"cars are usually allowed to
shift for themselves. The articles
are most acceptable especially the
socks which / shall save until we go
across. Please show this letter or
convey my thanks to the local Red
Cross.
Much has undoubtedly been written
home by the men who have gone from
Sank Centre concerning their canton
ments and army life and so will omit

thanks for the package that I re-
ceived from you some time ago.
The temperature is getting to be
such that the articles sent will be of
great use. I will be through with my
training in two weeks after which 1
will be going to the fleet for active
service, the time that we are all
waiting for.
Now with the work of the Navy,
Army and the great work of the Red
Cross backed up by the great spirit
Of the American people, this great
war will soon be a thing of the past.
Thanking you again and wishing
you all kinds of success in the grea,
work that you are doing, I beg TO
remain, yours very truly,

KNIT FOR THE RED CROSS.
Organization Can Care for Any Mum.
Der of Garments Women Can
Turn Out.

Harvey D. Gibson, general manager
of the American Red Cross, authorizes
the following statements:
"a great number of inquiries are
being received by the Red Cross from
women knitters throughout the United
States as to whether they should dis
continue knitting.
"The Red Cross, therefore, desires
to place before the women of this
country it's conception of the knitting
situation. AS is we'll known it is the
policy of the Red Cross to supplement,
so far as it has the power, the efforts
of the army and navy in conserving
the health and comfort of our soldiers

and sailors, either in this country or
abroad

and sailors, either In this country or
abroad.
Sweaters and other knitted articles
are designed primarily for warmth.
They certainly are not ornamental.
Therefore it must follow that when
there is an almost universal demand
on the part Of our soldiers and sailors
for sweaters and other knitted articles
the demand is a real one. Such ar
ticles, therefore, can only be classed
as equipment, supplementary though
they may be, to that furnished by
the army and navy. And they un-
doubtedly constitute equipment that
will add greatly to the health and
comfort Of our men under conditions
generally met with.
"The Red Cross knows the soldiers
and sailors want sweaters and other
knitted articles. These goods can be
obtained from the Red Cross in single
garments only upon individual re-
quests of a commanding officer. How
great the need is, is best evidenced by
the fact that in addition to the humid
reds of thousands of knitted articles
produced by our Red Cross chapters
in the last few months we have been
compelled to purchase $4,000 extra
sweaters alone to meet the insistent
demand made upon us by our men for
them. We are sorry that we had to
do any purchasing at all because we
know how much the soldiers and sail
ors of this country prefer the sweat.

that-in fact could say little from
their standpoint for you understand
that the line between enlisted men and
officers is very sharply drawn.
This Camp Taylor is probably as
pleasantly situated and better i'm
proved than most of the others. We
are just on the edge of Louisville with
good car service.
We are putting these men through
a severe system of intensive training
and it will be worth everything to
them later. For instance we send
rotating details to schools of in
struction at various points about the
camp covering everything from
"School for Cobblers" up to the most
specialized military subjects such as
gas defense, etc. At present I am a
member of board for the Division
Surgeon to formulate course of lee.
lures and instruction along military
surgical lines for both army surgeon
and line officers. Just now 1 am con-
Quoting, or rather giving a four
months course of lectures and field in
struction to the hospital corps men in
this section of the camp.
am very pleasantly situated here
in this organization which is attach
ed directly to the Division Com
mander. We officers have long one
story building, steam heated and all
toilet conveniences, private rooms, and
one mess hall and kitchen. We run
our own mess on the plan of a college
club. A civilian chef and soldier
walters. Ihave a personal orderly
from my Hospital Corps men who
does nothing but take care of my
horse and my errands.
My hospital is a large two story
building complete from operating
room to pantry, steam heated with
every form of modern plumbing.
Of the military situation 1 am not
allowed to say much but think we will
take long journey not long hence.
The commander of this Battalion
when I Joined it was Maj. Wilson,
cousin Of the President. He was
recently transferred and we now have
Maj. Rossaw, the man who has made
the Black Horse Troop of Culver
Military Academy famous. Four of
us are married and the ladies all
live within one square of each other
down town.
] consider that the situation as re-
CARDS the need of large we'll trained
army to be serious and I can only
speak in terms of contempt for any
one will evade service on account of
any mild physical disability, and now
with the liberal family allotment to
married enlisted men-a family is no
excuse. In fact it is the married man
who we are fighting this war for.
Again please pass this letter to the
Red Cross or extend to them my
thanks and with best regards to
yourselves. I am sincerenly,

AUTO TAGS AID RED CROSS.

St. Paul, Nov. 30.-Minnesota auto

A manufacturer has agreed to buy the
aluminium at a reasonable price and
turn the amount over to the Red
Cross.
Those living in Sank Centre and
vicinity who wish to help in this way
may leave their tags at the Herald Of
flee and they will be sent to the secre-
tary Of state.
