Very Little Saved at the
Early Saturday Morn
ing Blaze

The railroad station at Concord
was burned to the ground early
Saturday mornln~ and very little
was saved as the building was all
in flames when Frank Cobleigh,
the station agent, arrived there.
The fire was discovered at 2.15 Il.
m., by Raymond Douglas, who i'm
mediately gave the alarm. When
he first saw the fire the flames
were bursting through the roof
The building was quickly destroyed
with practically all the, records
and furniture of the station agent
and the goods in storage. For
unately there was only a very
little freight and express in the
depot at the time Of the fire.
The fire started just before the
east bound Montreal-Portl
train had arrived and it was i'm
possible for the rain to pass the
station until the blaze had subsid-
ed. 1t happened 10 be one Of the
heaviest trains of the summer, be-
ing a double header with six
sleepers bound for the Maine
beaches. and it was delayed near
~ two hours by the fire.
The station was the properly of
the st. Johnsbury and Lake Cham
plain railroad and was built nearly
30 years ago. This road carries
good insurance on all their build
ingS The cause Of the fire is not
known.
The Maine Central railroad, the
lessees of the road from Lunen-
burg to Swanton, will take care Of
the traffic at the alton by using
a freight car for the incoming end
outgoing freight and express and a
passenger car for the ticket agent

Current retail prices for season
able fruis and vegetables are high
and the prospects are not good for

The long period of extremely
dry weather has been detrimental
in the crop Of Wild berries in this

tivated raspberrieS sell for 30 cents

Georgia peaches are 40 to 80

red plums, 40 cents; watermelon,
Z cents a pound; cherries, 90 cents

sugar on the rise, with shortage
Of water, makes the prospects of

ORANGES are % o 60 cents a doz III
bananas, 10 to 30 cents; fancy

There IS a good supply of fresh
garden vegetables, green peas,

New potatoes are selling at from

TO 20 cents. New corn has not ye.
arrived.
Dairy products are higher,
butter is from 38 to 30 cents, both
dairy and creamery. Eggs are
quoted from 50 to 40 cents and are
liable to continue strong. The
local dealers say the mountain
trade demands a large part Of he
production and the price paid is an
advance on the local market for
first-class fresh stock.
White sugar has been down to
