the electric car service of the city was
tied up as tight as a tenor drum by the

though it was of a negative quality,
there were some that growled and stat

The Journal Office was literally be-
sieged with inquiries for my paper.
The Journals started from the Angus
Ia office at the usual hour and by the
usual method of transportation, but
were sidetracked at the carbarn. The
first intlmation the office received that
the papers had not reached their deStl-
nation, was a call from Gardiner. An
auto was sent after them and they
were taken to the Hallowell postoffice
and mailed to Gardiner. The carrier
boys were notified and the papers were
delivered at the earliest possible mo-

delay was caused by conditions entire

Company. 1t was an unforeseen effect
of the electric railway strike.
