1t is expected that the schooner, Jen-
ME Flood Kreger in the Frost yard, will
be ready to launch on the noon high tides
some time during the first week in March,
as practically all the materials needed in
the tinishings are in the yard. The only
question of delay may come in the COM
pletion of the rigging and joiner work
The beautiful weather has been appreci-
ated by all concerned in her construction.
Mr.. Frost remarked Wednesday morning
that only on one morning had he seen
ice on his shore and none had collected
even under the wharf. There has been
no snow fall to cause delay. The YES
sePs name in handsome letters and also
her hailng port, Boston, have been put
on her stern. The work was done by
Leroy A. Coombs, who has also made
the handsome trail boards and figure
head, which bears the shield of her build
ers-Math ews Brothers. She halls from
Boston as her managing owners, Crow
ell & Ihurlough, reside there. Launch
ing day will be of unusual interest and
regular program will be arranged. The
regular work is on the increase at Math-
ews' mill as Mr.. Frost has recently signed
for contract work with all his Boston
customers in the general building lines.
Caskets are being shipped from that de-
partment by the car loads from unsolcit-
ed and duplic ated orders. The mill will
also supply the wooden boxes used by
the Leonard & Barrows' shoe factory, be-
ginning on the contract about the middle
of March. This department has been
filling large out-of-t town orders for some
time in boxes of all sizes
