BoWERS.

Monday last being Labor Day and
a holiday was a day Of many depart
ures from the shore and many good
bye's were exchanged with the ex-
pectation of not meeting again before
a year hence. But there yet remains
many in the cottages that will stay
with us during the greater part Of this
winter, in fact a part of them en-
gagged for all the month, beside some
that will come to occupy cottages
later on. This has been a season
above the average of former seasons
for visitors and patrons, and if the
hotel accommodation had been more
ample more people would have been
visiting here, and some would have
spent more time. The Johnson Hotel
and the Kent Cottage have been taxed
to their utmost and many people have
had to be turned away. The request
of the Fuel Administrator to abstain
from the needless use of gasoline on
Sunday was respected by our people
as a whole in a manner that was very
creditable. The motor boats that
have been doing a rushing business
on Sundays during the summer, re-
NAMED at the wharf all day with the
exception of one early in the morning.
This man would not have taken his
boat out had it not been for the plead
ings of many would-be patrons, but
he returned after a short stay, when
he discovered that his was the only
boat not obeying the request of the
Fuel Administrator. There is one
prominent characteristic of the resi-
dents of Bowers, namely, that they
are very patriotic and also law-abid
ing citizens. The hundreds Of auto
mobiles that come to Bowers as JOY
riders and pleasure seekers on Sun
days, were conspicuOusly absent last
Sunday and those in attendance were
out on account of actual necessity.
