the fire places in their original con-

the fire places in their original con-
dition.
Thanks to the excellent condition
of all the wood work save floors, IL
will be possible, without putting IN
any wood work, to restore the build
ing to a condition Of great beauty.
In the south end of the building es-
pecially where Captain Howard lived
and where doubtless Benedict Arnold
and Aaron Burr were entertained, the
wood work is the finest. Doubtless
it was all made in Boston and
shipped, as were the supplies for the
trading posts, by vessel from Boston
Captain Howard was a man of wealth
and as might be expected the interior
of his home, even in what was then
the wilderness, compared favorably
with homes of the same period in
Boston and Philadelphia In other
parts of the building the exposed
wood work is of pine plank, two feet
wide and weathered a fine rich ma
hogany brown.
When the partitions are torn out,
which will transform the multi
roomed tenement into a spacious
roomed trading post, and the original
fire places are restored vast change
and Improvement will be made in the
building. To restore the outside of
the building to it's original condition
two block houses will be built, in ex-
act reproduction Of Fort Halifax at
Waterville; and two sentry houses,
built exactly to reproduce the sentry
houses in use in Colonial days, will
be put in place. The entire fort will
be surrounded by a stockade. The
timber for this work was cut from
Howard Hill through the past winter
and has already been sawed. The
squared timbers will make the block
house while the slabs will be used
for the stocAade.
When the restoration is completed
! Augusta will have one of the finest
examples of a trading post that exists
in America today. an example which
will attract antiquarians from many
parts of the United States and which
will be a point of interest for every
tourist who visits the city. Augusta
will have this priceless relic of it's
earliest recorded history thanks to
the generosity of a direct descendent
of the original Captain Howard, Guy
p. Gannett.

Work Of Restoring Old Fl. Western
Continued from Page One)

| To the great delight of the experts
and to all who are interested in the
restoring to its original condition of
Augustus leading historical build
ing, it has been found that much Of
the original building is still abso-
lutely intact and in good condition.
Beneath century old plaster buried
from sight for generations perhaps,
have been located gigantic old fire.
places, handsome doorWays, brick
ovens-in fact the original old trad
ing post of re-Revolutionary days.
To the antiquarians the work of
discovering the original building be-
meath the modern plastering and
partitions was of consuming interest.
Armed with flash lights, knives for
scraping away layers of paint and
aided by a force of carpenters, they
raked the building from end to end,
ripping out the modern plastering.
tearing down modern partitions, ex-
amining patchwork and woodwork to
determine its antiquty-all with a
view of removing everything that

an opening buried beneath plaster,
perhaps for generations.
Another hint as to the Forts orig
inal condition was given by North's
History of Augusta, which Indicated
that the windows must originally
have been covered by shutters. Much
scraping and prying discovered the
places where these windows We're
originally fastened-and incidentally
neccssitated the making Of shutters
for all the windows, in order that the
restoration may be both complete
and exact.
The four chimneys in the building
do not all appear TO have been built
at exactly the same time, though all
are of genuine and unquestioned an
tiquity. The older ones are built,
not entirely of brick but of brick laid
on a foundation of rocks piled up to
the height of the sills. The slightly
more modern chimneys are of brick
to the cellar floor-but of brick laid
rot in mortar but in clay.

he lived and wrote, and of knowing
of the motive that inspired the au-
thor. He illustrated these points by
telling of five of the greatest books
ever written-Homer'S "Odyssey,"
which teaches patience; Dante's Obi
vine Comedy" which teaches justice;
Cervantes' Don QuiXote," which
teiches the value of truth and honor;
Bunyons pilgrims Progress" which
teaches the value of courage and the
Book of job" which teaches the val
ue of faith.
Other features of the afternoon

Mrs. Pray of Gardiner and a piano
duet by Misses Helen Brown and Viz
GINA Currier.

Books and Life" was the subject
of a fine address given by State LII
brarian Henry E. Dunnack. He dem
onstrated the relationship that exists
between peoples reading and their
living, referring to reading for recre-
alton, reading for culture, reading to
strengthen character, and reading for
life's work.
In speaking of how to read, he told
OF the great advantage in knowing
of the author, of the period in which

The Kennebec Oil Co. has received
at its plant on the East Side a large
accompaniment tank for the stor-
age of gasoline and kerosene. The
compartments are separated by two
steel bulkheads with a six inch air
space between them. Local contract

its high concrete foundation and will
complete the installation within a

An example of the method of
searching and it's results was the
finding of the original fireplace in
the residential end of the building.
It is assumed that Captain Howard
and his family lived in the south END
of the building, that the center was
given over to trading and that the
north end was perhaps used 1or
housing the soldiers who manned the
Fort. The early search through the
building disclosed fine old fireplace
and oven in the north end. 1t was
not reasonable to suppose, however,
that Captain Howard and his family
| would have their food cooked in the
north end of the building and brought
to their living quarters in the soutfi
end. Obviously, Mr.. Gannett rea-
soned there should be fireplace and
oven in the back room OF the resi-
denoe end of the house. At once the
force started prying under plaster

on which Captain Howard's food was
cooked back in the days when In
dams camped where the people OF
Augusta now live.
Another example of the Sherlock
Holmes methods of the searchers for
the original Fort Western was given
in the discovery of the original trad
ing post entrance. 1t appeared tina.
none of the existing entrances could
possibly have been that through
which the Indians entered to make
their purchases. 1t seemed evident
that there should have been door
through the front of the house. but
none was in evidence. careful
search beneath the plaster discovered
the original entrance, an opening
where once hung q fine, big door

field day of the Federation which will
be held in the fall at Waterville.
| A delicious dinner was served at
noon by the Ladies' Aid Of the Green

ried out at the afternoon session with
addresses by State Librarian Henry
E. Dunnack and by Miss Myra v.
Parker of the State Department of
Health, who spoke on the necessity
: OF educating children in matters Of
