Heights have been of unusual interest
this season and the daily receipts have
exceeded those of other years. Nearly
every cottage on the ground is occupied
for the season. With good weather the
remainder of the week it will be social
and financial success.

the Camden and Rockland Communicates
spent last Saturday afternoon and even
ing at Temple Heights, guests of Col. and
Mrs. A. S. Bangs and Mr.. and Mrs. Irv-
ing w. Clements of Herndon, Fla, sum-
mer residents of Northport. A picnic
lunch was served and sports enjoyed dur
ing the afternoon and a dance in the
evening.
Fishermen the past week have been
reaping harvest in the catch of herring
along the west shores of the Penobscot
and they have been very fortunate in
making big hauls. The fish were first
discovered schooling in the waters at
Saturday Cove, Northport, and a good
haul was made. From there they came
to Temple Heights and just above the
wharf some 400 bushels of fish were
taken. From that point the fishermen
went to Kelley's Cove and were well re-
warded.
BOOKS FOR SOLDIERS. AS the result
of the request for books for soldiers
made by the local papers from the Bel
fast Free Library, Isl books and 947
magazines have been collected, which
are being held for shipping instructions.
The generous response by the public to
the appeal for books for the training
contributions will be accepted until the
Library is notified by the American Lii
brary Association that the camps are
satisfactorily provided.
The annual picnic and clambake was
held at the Battery last Tuesday evening
with all the residents and a few guests
present. The spread was all that could
possibly be desired in quality and guam
tity. Hon. John R. Dunton presided at
the post prandial exercises and was held
to his usual wit and length, particularly
as to the latter, as all required certain
number of words from their toast master
before deigning to respond to his intro
auctions John came back every time.
Hon. Hugh D. Mcclellan distinguished
himself with several rare representations.
The choruses were greatly enjoyed and
some of the solo work amusing. One
ardent suffragist went on record with the
statement that her husband was perfect
ly able to represent her in public. The
immense bonfire in charge of Mr.. Dunton
with many assistants, was fully equal to
any of the past.
