BANGOR PLANS FOR
15OTH ANNIVERSARY

Bangor will celebrate the 150th an
niversary Of its first settlement year
after next. The first move toward what
is expected to be by far the most
elaborate and extensive undertaking
of the kind ever attempted in the city
was made at a recent session of the
City Council, when a general commit
tee was appointed. Although 1919 is
some ways ahead. it has been consid-
cred none too early to work out plans,
which will probably include an his
tcrical pageant, the various events
probably covering a week.
Although the locality of Bangor, 60
miles up the river from the ocean,
or 30 miles from the head of Penob-
scot Bay, attracted the early French,
Dutch, Spanish and English explorers
as far back as the early years Of the
10th century, when the legend Of the
mythical city of Norumbega originated,
it was not an organized plantation until
1869. when it was called Kenduskeag
Plantation. In that year the first white
settler, Jacob Boswell. Buzzel or Bus
sell, came here from Salisbury. Mass.
bringing his wife and nine children.
TINS region sWarmed with Indians of
the Tarratine Nation or Penobscot tribe
and the principal settlement was at
what is now the water works dam
about mile above the center of the
present city. Falls at that point mark =
ed the head of navigation, and even
tuaiiy formed the foundation of the
present dam
The settlement grew slowly and il
was not until 1900 that there was a
postofiice with Maj Treat as post
raster. In 1772 there were ~ families
mere most Of them coming from WOOL
wien ana Bath on the kennebec.
In 1874 the settlement acquired a
physician in DR.. John Herbert. who
was also schoolteacher and Law
lay preacher. In 1871, having acn,ir.d
inhabitants, Rev. Seth Noble. Renre-
sentative of the General Court of Mas
sachusetts. applied for incorporation
az town. II appears that the peonIe
Lad instructed Mr.. Noble to have tho
town named Sunbury. but he took the
matter into his own hands and filed tho
name Bangor from his favorite Psalm
tune.
One Of the most eyentful years .,
bangors carly history was 1914. whom
me city was looted by the British.

bridge across the Penobscot TO what is

courthouse was built in 1912 and tho
hTst newspaper was printed here in
1915. Bangor became a city in 1894

and exhibits were destroyed in the CON
migration Of 1911. These have been 70

FIRST NORWEGIAN
CONCRETE SHIP
Associated Press Correspondencel

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
Christiania. August 1.-THE first
Norwegian ship to be built of rein
forced concrete was launched the
other day in the presence of Premier
Knudsen and a distinguished gather
ing OF shipping men. engineering ex-
perts, and government officials The
Premier. himself an old civil engineer,
complimented the designer on his
epoch making enterprise
The chief Importance Of the depart
ure lies in the speed with which the
vessel was constructed, it having been
only three weeks from start to launch
ing. The original frame, however. can
be used for each subsequent ship Of
the same size, and construction in the
future is expected to occupy only
about half that time.
1t is true that this first ship is
only of 200 tons, but vessels of 500
and 1000 tons are to be begun shortly.
!. is expected that it will take about
SIX weeks to complete 1000 ton ship.

words: Rush. L. S. Army Shipment" It
was noticeable that the boys in the ex-

safely aboard, not pulling out and leaving
a portion of the express on the trucks as
is frequently done.
