Hon. Ira II. Randall Of the Augusta
Lumber Co.. when asked last evening
regarding the opening of the lumber
season, expressed the hope that the
company would be able to start its mill
on the east SIDE of the river on Mon
Gay. April 9, but that conditions We're
of course uncertain. On some seasons
the mill has been started quite bit
earlier than that date but at present
it hardly looks that way. or the logs
that the company has on hand with
which to begin the seasons work there
are about 2.0Ce0O feet Of spruce on
the island. and there is also lot of
pine at Riggs brook above the DAM
The company las a crew OF workmen
now employed at the mill. making ne
cessary repairs and otherwise getting
the mill ready for the season, and has
also built II sunken piers above the
Augusta dam. The Kennebec Log Driv-
ing Co. has built three piers above
the dam for the sheer boom and is now
building one below the dam. All of the
piers at Five Mile island have been re-
built so that with the Improvements
which have been made in that vicinity
there is now but little to be feared in
case Of freshet.

something to do these days besides max

get them, and no dealer can buy violins

CARPENTERS ARE WANTED
IN Greenport, N. ", to Work Upon
Submarine Chasers


Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. D. Thompson of
Greenport n. Y. arrived in this city
on Monday. and will be here for the
next few days. Mr.. Thompson is here
in the interests of the Greenport Basin
and Construction Co., and is looking for
carpenters to work on a fast type of
motorboat which is being utilized as
submarine chaser" by the Russian
and our own governments. Mr.. Thomp-
son is originally a Maine man himself,
and he told a Journal reporter that the
Maine carpenters are considered the
very best, that his concern has a num-
Der of them and want more, as they
have contracts for a large number Of
the boats
They are built in 60, 20 and So-foot
lengths, with draught of about three
feet, and contain three 25C-H p Sterl-
Ing 'engines, giving them a speed of
about 43 miles an hour. They carry a
pair of three-inch quickfiring guns
mounted on bow and stern for use on
under-sea craft" said Mr.. Thompson
He stated that his concern has already
turned out about 60 of these boats and
is making one every three days.
These little boats. with so shallow
draught that no torpedo now in use
could strike them are more than twice
as fast as the fastest submarine yet
made. they travel in flocks and have
proved very effective In hunting down
the murderous submarines, as they can
shatter periscope with their rapid
fire guns and then puncture the thin
steel hull with explosive shells as soon
as the submersible comes to the sur
face. Our own government and the
Allied nations have placed big orders
for these small killers, which seem to
be about the only practical means Of
lighting the formidable under-sea boats
of the Kaiser.

HE DIDN'T GET THE CIGAR
Mr.. Browns Neighbor Thought He
Was Doing Him Little Kindness,
but Found He Was Mistaken,

My suburban ncighbor, Mr.. Brown, is
ness. Just now, he is Il very handy
man about home and splendid as an
errand and delivery boy, says Il writer
in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Last Sat
urday, his wife sent him into town to
get n case of Strawberries. The re-
turning ntrrurban cur was very crowd
ed and Mr.. Brown put down his case
of precious berries at the rear of the
car. When he neared the homcward
station, he started back for his burden
and found it well covered by someone's
big suitcase. AS he pulled this out of
the way, neighbor greeted him with
these words:
"Well, Brown, you have a big load
today"
Thinking he meant the berries, he
answered, eyes," Slouldered his case
and started off the car and up the
holneward road. His ncighbor picked
up the heavy suitcase and followed
him. Three blocks up the road and
four more. through the woods walked
the two neighbOrs, each with his heavy
load. AT last they reached the ter
race leading up to Mr.. Browns house.
The neighbor put the suitcase up on
the walk and said with a tone Of re-
lief:
"Well, I suppose, get a cigar for
this?"
"For what" asked Mr.. Brown.
"Why, isn't this your suitcasc?"
