ELECTRIC COMPANY
REPLIES To GITY'SI
COMMUNICATIONS

Two interesting communications from
the Pensacola Electric Company have
been received and are on file in the
office OF the city clerk. Each of them
cover matters which the city has late
ly taken up with the company, and the
replies settle, at least for the time be-
ing, questions which the city had
raised.
The city had suggested that the cleo
trio company throw in spur or loop,
track, to afford better transportation
facilities to and from Bayview park.
The company, in reply to such request
gave as a principal reason that the la
Dor question was a problem. At pres
ent, the letter stated, there have beenI
several pressing calls for extensions
A thousand foot track to the new ship!
building plant, and a thousand foot
spur into the naval station are two
OF the jobs which the company is try,
ing to take care Of Then the route
leading to the naval station, or the
Bayshore line, is being changed. At
present a bridge is being constructed
over what is known as Star lake, and
and this change is made with a view
to obviating further damage from re-
curing storms in the future. In the
past the trestle over Big Bayou has
caused serious interruption to the Bay
shore line, and for days the line has
practically been out of commission.
he new route traverses a line which is |
expected to make storm damage OUT
or the question. The new track to the |
shipbuilding plant has already been
laid out, and the company yesterday
deposited a check with the city clerk
for the privilege of tearing space in
the paving to enable the cars to go
into the plant.
The other question answered is tnatl
OF routing cars on the East Hill linel
one way instead of the double service!
as had been enjoyed by many for the |
past several months. The company
claims that better time is possible with
the one-way routing, and that it is |
possible to maintain shortened timeI
throughout the day. Citing an in |
stance of the possibilities of this one-l
way routing, the company stated that
during the heavy traffic Of last Satur-
day and Sunday a five-minute sched-l
ule was continuously maintained with |
out trouble or inconvenience. An ad-l
ditional privilege enjoyed by the pa
irons, the company claims, is to cutl
out the tiresome waits on the SEVERAL
turnouts which could not be workedl
out better than had been. The newl
way routing, however, is only temper
airy, 1t was explained.

Mr.. Baxter and Mr.. Greer who are
connected with the development have
been talking with the business men to-
day and they find that practically every
man they had talked with had read the
ad. In The journal and were pleased
that such an institution was to be de-
veloped in this section, as they alt
agree that if will lead to the rapid de-
velopment of the farm lands in this
section which is essential to the per.
manent prosperity of this city.
During the day Mr.. Greer received a
letter from w. E. Aycock who is con-
nected with this development and who
is now in Cincinnati in which he says !:
1.-The South must furnish food, to win
the war. The North is feverishly manu-
featuring munitions, thereby drawing
heavily on agricultural communities fer
labor. You cannot Recommend too
highly to my friends Escribanos Co
operative farms, as they are thoroughly
manned and most generously endowed
by nature for the production or two or
more crops of foodstuffs per annum"
Many will remember Mr. Aycock as
the leader in establishing the Pensa
cola National Highway five years ago.

VERDICT DIRECTED
FOR DEFENDANT

In the court OF record yesterday a
great deal of time was taken up in the
trial OF case brought by Sallie Hall,
colored, against the Louisville & Nasr-
Vile Railroad Company, alleging care
lessness on the part of defendant COM
pany, which alleged carelessness re-
suited in the death OF the husband OF
plaintiff. The latter asked judgment
in the subof $4,000.
One OF the points made by plaintiff
was that her husband had been seized
with an attack of rheumatism and was
unable to get out of the way OF an
on-coming train. The negligence was
alleged in that the company's agents
were operating the engine faster than
permitted by the state and city stat
utes.
After hearing the evidence, II was
decided that verdict for the defend
ant was the proper thing in the prem
ises. and the Jury was requested to
make such return.

A Winter to be Remembered,

This winter Of 1917-1S is one to be re-
membered. 1t has placed an embargo on
the Hancock county coast, more rigid
yet conceived. Steamboat traffic all
along the coast has been suspended, and
mails and supplies are going by the over
land route largely through Ellsworth.
The ferry service to Bar Harbor has
been suspended since Saturday, when the
steamer Pemaquid broke down soon after
leaving the Mt. Desert Ferry wharf for
the morning trip, and is now frozen in.
Mails and express to Bar Harbor have
since been going by team from Ellsworth.
The government e-breaker Surprise
was at Bar Harbor last night, and ex
pected to start work to-day breaking out
the ferry route. The steamer Samoset is
is broken open.
Mails to Stonington also go through
Ellsworth and across Eggemoggin reach
on the ice. Southwest Harbor reports no
water in sight, sea and land alike an ex-
panse OF snow and ice. People are cross
ing on the ice six miles between Stoning-
ton and Isle au Haut.
AT some of the isolated islands off the
coast, where light-keepers and their
families or fishermen are the only inhabi-
tants, there is real suffering. A govern
ment ice breaking steamer has gone with
relief to many of these islands, whose
regular source of supplies has been cut

FLOUR REGULATIONS.
Wheat and Substitutes, Half-and-
Half, to Consumers.

Wheat and Substitutes, Half-and-
Half, to Consumers.
Regulations governing the sale OF -four
issued by the United States food admin
istration will be rigidly enforced by the
food administrator for Maine, DR.. Leon s..
Merrill. In a statement given out Thurs
day he asserted that boarding of -four will
not be tolerated. He said:
''The recent regulations issued by the
food administration governing the sale of
-four, may be divided into two very de-
finite regulations.
"First- Retail dealers are not permitted
to sell to the consumer more wheat -four
and wheat -four substitutes than will sup
ply that family for more than thirty days.
This does not mean that they are COM
pelled to sell thirty days supply, but that
they must not sell more than thirty days
supply of the two combined-wheat -four
and wheat flour substitutes.
'Second-Dealers, both wholesale and
retail, are forbidden to sell consumer Gus
mers wheat flour without they also sell to
at the same time an equal amount by
weight of one or more of the following
products: Corn meal, corn starch, corn
-four, hominy, corn grits, barley -four
rice, rice -four, oat meal, rolled oats, buck
wheat flour, potato -four, sweet potato
-four, soya bean -four and fetereits -four,
and meals.
at should be observed that several of
the products named are ordinarily used
for other purposes than making bread.
For example, rice, oat meal, rolled oats and
buck heat -four. These are products that
most sto-es have a supply of, and they can
thus limit the amount Of -four sold tc
thirty days supply"

THREATENING FIRE.
Bflou Theatre Building Quilted ia
Below Zero Weather.

A ire with terrible possibilities
threatened Ellsworth early yesterday
morning, when the Bijou theatre buiid-
ing in the rear OF the business blocks on
Main street was badly damaged. With
the thermometer fifteen to twenty below
zero, northwest gale blowing and the
fire under good headway W hen discovered,
conditions and the locality OF the fire
seemed just such as it has often been
predicted would mean the sweeping out
OF the business section of Ellsworth.
The long building, formerly known as
the Mason storehouse, stretches along
the rear of several frame blocks on Main
street, at one end being connected with
one of them and separated from OF hers
by only few feet.
The fire was discovered from his home
o'clock. He aroused Sheriff Wescott,
who turned in tn= alarm. When the
tiremen arrived, the whole lower floor,
occupied as picture theatre, was a mass
of flames. The raised double floor,
making an air space between, made it
peculiarly difficult fire to get at
The fremen succeeded, however, in
contining the fire practically to the one
floor. Only in few places did the fire
penetrate to the floor above, occupied
as storehouse by II. c. Austin & Co.
The portion of the building occupied
as picture theatre was practically
Quilted. The effect of the heat on the
opera chairs with which the theatre was
equipped was peculiar, the veneer facing
of the chairs curling off.
How the fire started is mystery. The
point Of origin seemed near the picture
booth on the !north side of the building.
During the colder months of the winter,
Mrs. Campbell, proprietor OF the picture
theatre, moves to the Odd Fellows block,
SO that the theatre was not at this time
occupied.
The building and theatre chairs and
fittings are owned by Dr. A. c. Hagerthy.
There was an insurance of $500 on
building and $500 on furnishings.
II. C. Austin & Co. suffered a heavy
loss from smoke and water on stock in
the storeroom, but it is believed this loss
will be covered by the insurance.
