The power station at Glen Cove,
which formerly furnished all of the
electricity for the Rock!and, Thomas
ton & Camden Street Railway, but
which was long since outgrown.
ceased last week to be known even
as an auxiliary station. With coal
at the present price the corporation
found it impracticable tc operate this
powerhouse, and the machinery and
boilers were sold to a firm of junk
dealers in Cambridge, Mass, for a
price far better than could have been
obtained under normal conditions.
The Rockland correspondent of the
Globe says:
"Coastwise passenger traffic con-
tinues to suffer serious inroads be-
cause the fear of submarines will not
down. The boats from Boston are
not carrying nearly as many tour
lists as they were a year ago, and
while this might be accounted for in
part by the unreasonable weather,
the indications are that many of the
summer cottages will not be opened
I at all. Increasing use of the motor
/ car is also shown. Tourists believe
| that is the safer way of getting to
! the Maine coast, ,and once here they
are willing to take their chances OF a
| JJ-boat invasion"
! Colonel F. A. Pope OF the 301st
Engineers of the National Army has
loaned the Maine Historical Society
a miniature cannon that was cast in
| Havana in 1912 from material dug up
bv him from the wrecks of the
United States battleship, Maine,
| while he was in command of a corps
of engineers at that harbor. The
! cannon is 10 inches long and has a
! half-inch bore. II is mounted on a
carriage of mahogany. with orna-
mental carving.
