SkOwhegan Needs Il Skating Rink
(By J. l.. Lasnier)

| formerly lived at Bathurst, n. B..
town of about 5000 population. The
climate is much the same as Maine,
good long, honest-toIgoodness win
ters. The New Brunswick people are
great on outdoor sports. There is
much more skiing, snowshoeing,
Safeguarding. skating, etc. than here.
Hockey and curlingsa are very popular
games.
Bathurst built municipal skating
rink 1t had a steel frame and cor
rugated iron roof, and sides. The
cost in those days was $11 1000, and as
| remember, the cost of operation was
$500 a year A % cent admission
was charged but one could buy a
season ticket for $1,000. On certain
holidays the rink was free to every
one. The income on this basis was
sufficient to pay maintenance and up
keep and the cost of the building in
the first three years.
The structure was so arranged that
in summer the floor could be used for
dancing and general exhibition pur-
poses.
My attention has been called to a
perfectly ideal place on land already
owned by the town on the south side
of the river. This is the gulley on
the Butler lot, purchased for high
school purposes. | am told that
there are springs all about from
which the supply of water could be
obtained for flooding the rink. The
high banks make natural protection
against the winds. Of course a
building is not necessary although a
structure like that described in Bath
urst would be desirable. If an open
rink was constructed, in the location
just referred to, the cost would be
comparatively small

Former Bingham Woman Captured b!
Indians

Back in frontier days the capture
of women and children by the In
dians was common occurrence but
there are few still living who passed
through such tragic experience
Mrs. Flavilla Dawley, formerly oil
Bingham, however can tell an un-
usual tale of her childhood. She is
now seventy-nine years of age and
the incident which we shall relate
occurred seventy years ago in the
Moosehead Lake regions. She was
beguiled from her companions and
imprisoned by an Indian squaw until
the efforts of her father and the aid
of an Indian chief brought about her
release.

SkOwhegan Boy ut lockwood

Anthony Dionne was home over
Sunday, passing the week end with
his parents, Mr. and Mrs Henry
Dione, at the Pitts Farm, on the Mid
die road.
Mr.. Dionne has been in the woods
with two pairs of horses for the past
ten weeks. He is hauling logs for
Byron Slipp Of North Arson. Mr.,
Slipp has contract with the Hol-
lingsworth e Whitney Company to
haul from the yard to the landing
over a four turn road. Mr.. Dionne
reaches the scene of operation going
by train to lockwood, thence on a
Hollingsworth & Whitney truck to the
depot camp, about ten miles. From
there he walks about five miles to the
yard.
There are seven men in the crew,
including Mr.. Slipp and the cook. Two
men work on the yard and one on the
road. 1t is little unusual to drive
four horses on work of this kind. This
is done because, there being not
enough snow thus far the road is
rather rough and bad. This one man
is doing the best he can by having
skids, removing stumps and shoyeling
snow The timber handled is in
logs from 20 to so feet long. 1t is
mostly spruce but there is now and
then a small fir.
This is Mr.. Dionne's first winter in
the woods. He is Is years of age
He makes four turns a day, hauling
from 500 to 1000 feet to the road. 1t
is good road, no bad hills. With
another foot of snow, Mr.. Dionne
thinks that, driving pair of horses
only, he could handle from 1000 to
5000 feet. Mr. Dionne expects to be
occupied at this work all winter and
perhaps will go on the stream drive
as soon as the teaming Is through.

Fur Quotations from n Recent Price
List

Somerset County trappers will I'M
doubtedly be interested in the follow
ing list of prices of Maine furs
which was recently quoted by large
New York concern.
Dark mink, No. 1, extra large, are
quoted from SIT to $14, but inasmuch
as there are seven grades mentioned
we are at once led to believe that
few furs would command that figure.
The scale tapers down to forty cents
for the average No. 4. In the case
of brown mink, the highest class
ones bring $3.50 but only twenty
five cents is all the poorest specimens
bring.
Muskrats range from $2,S5 down to
thirty-five cents. Raccoons, heavy,
$1,000 to fifty cents and ordinary,
$3.50 to thirty-five cents. There are
four grades of skunk. They are
black, $3.50 to 60c, short $3.50 to soc,
narrow 1915 to 40c, broad $3.50 to
Is cents.
Red foxes are worth from $22 down
to so cents and grey ones range from
$3.50 down to a dime. Somehow ten
cents for a. fox does not seem quite
right.
White weasels may be worth $1.75
or only 15 cents according to what
they are. The marten is one of our
valuable animals His fur, if it is
dark, may bring $50 though poorer
ones range way down to a dollar.
Brown martens, $50 to rs cents; pale,
$23 to so cents.
A fisher of the very best is quoted
at $3.50. His most unfortunate bro
Their as little as So. That must mean
for small one or one in the poorest
sort of condition. Perhaps both.
Offers, $50 down to $1.25. Beavers,
lawfully caught, $33 to 81.
The lynx ranges in price from $95
to $3.50. The wolf is little less,
$25 to rs cents; brown weasels, SIS
cents to 10 cents; black house cats,
so cents to 20 cents and common ones,
25 cents to 10 cents; wild cats, heavy,
$3.50 to 30 cents and ordinary, $3.50
to 10 cents.
Badgers, heavy, go from $3.50 down
to so cents and the ordinary type 81
to 10 cents. The black bear, $1S to
75c and brown ones $12 to so cents.
Rabbit skins are worth from to
Is cents a pounds and they must be

Cutters Take the Last Pine

Timber cutters have taken the last
pine in front of the old Holway home
stead in Larone and the farm has
passed into other hands. These
trees were set many years ago by Mr.
Holway, one for each of the boys in
the family. One of them died and
was replaced by silver poplar which
is still standing all alone in its lone
someness. The old house, too is
gone. This house was one of the
very first frame buildings built in
Larone and while it was building
the Holidays lived in the little shop,
which until recently stood just across
the highway from the old house. A
new house, few years ago was erect
ed by grandson, some few rods from
the old one. A number of years ago
the lightning struck one of these
pines and killed it and at the same
time running on wire clothes line
into the house thru an open window
but doing very little damage. The
pines are gone. the old house is a
thing of the past. and of the family
of eight children, but one is left to
tell the story of the long ago. An
sci Holway Is one of our smart
young-old men of 90.

Dairy Division Reports Tests of Pitts
field Creamery Products

As the result of complaints from
producers shipping to the Whiting
Milk Company creamery at Pitts
field the dairy division OF the Depart
ment of Agriculture took over sam
pies last Saturday in order to verify
the tests which were used as basis
of payments TO the patrons of the
creamery The findings proved that
the complaints received were I'M
founded and without cause. The
greatest variation Was two-tenths OF
one per cent This variation ap-
peared in two eases. All the other
variations were one-tcnth of one per
cent or less. This variation is prac-
tiCally negligible.
State Dairy Inspector Forrest a
Barbour stated yesterday that many
complaints were received in the past
year by patrons of the various cream
cries. but they were found as a rule
uniustided He pointed out that that
does not mean that there is not the
possibility for error or fraud on the
