The Dickey-Knowlton Real Estate
Company have rented the center rent in
the Frye Block on Court street to Mr..
and Mrs Herb ert Elwell and the Condor
house on Wight street to Mr.. and Mrs.
Ernest Woods.
Two Belfast Boy Scouts have been
building up good business by little
evening work and have received good
returns and much credit for their thrift.
They are Luville Woods and Kenneth COL
cord, who not long ago conceived the
idea of making ice picture post cards and
offering them for sale. With a little
effort they so increased the sales that it
requires most of their spare evenings to
keep up with the orders. They have in
vested in large camera.

SNOW AND ICE. While the snow pack
in many places is several feet deep 1t IS
gradually disappearing and if the wealth
er continues as it is for several days
there will be no inconvenience from this
unusual amount. Farmers say there IS
very little frost in the ground and are
looking for settled roads early in the sea-
son. ..... Belfast harbor still remains closed
with apparently thick and solid ice. In
the freeze of 1905, the harbor closed Feb
5th and opened March 28th. Unless cut
out it may remain longer this season.
There is open water at Northport and
large space in front of the oe-Mortlmer
plant and around the lower bridge X.
l.. Cooper dynamited the pack under his
wharf, some of which was about eight
feet deep and was lifting the pilings.
Both bridges over the Passagassawau-
keag are very much out of repair and
it is feared that they will not stand the
rush of ice when it goes out, if there is
any wind at the time The Pejepscot tug
is on her way here from New York with
two coal barges; one for the Pejepscot
Co. and the other for the Consumers
Fuel Co. She will wait in Rockland I'M
til our harbor is clear. The Naval station
at Rockland has promised the Coe-Morti-
mer Co. to send the East Hampton here
the last of the week to at least cut
channel for the tugs to bring in the wait
ing barges
