Maine GOSSIP
The Bi-ch

Springtime wooed her with soft green
leaves,
Autumn gave her a crimson shawl,
Winter offered her glistening gems
CarVen crystals she took them all.
She loved the gift that springtime
But laid it. withercd, on Summers
grave;
She wore the shawl of flaming thread,
Then flung it aside and quickly wed
Old Winter to take from his treasure
store.
Jewels and happiness evermore;
But Winter is dying and, love I'M
Faded and bare she stands alone.
Saunders, in Contcmpo-
rary Verse.
Roy Thomas has been elected agri-
cultural agent for oxford county, to
take the place made vacant by the
resignation of Raymond Lovejoy of
South Paris and will begin his duties
on March 1st. Mr.. Thomas graduated
from the University of Maine in 1917,
and since that date has been teaching
agriculture in certain schools in the
State.
The majority of Bath people seem
to be in favor of continuing, in one
form or another, the non-partisan
city government plan. 1t has tended
to cut out the political squabbles of
past years and it seems probable that
the city can be run more economically
under it than when craftsmanship enters
into the choice of the members of the
two boards. The same plan for nomi-
mating the candidates which has been
used the last two years may not be
attempted but very likely conference
between Republicans and Democrats
will bring about some way by which
the desired result may be attained and
any objectionable features eliminated.

Hnrrah For Montgomery County
Fox Hounds.

On November 18th the Maryland Fox
Hunters Association met at Soldiers De-
light. Baltimore county. for its annual
hunt and by night there were quite a
gathering of men and dogs eager and
ready for Tuesday morning.
There were 20 derby dogs turned loose to
trail Sir Reynard The weather being frosty
and dry we did not have much of a race
and as the conditions of the weather had
not changed on Wednesday the result was
much the same, the judges, however, had
been able to score enough to give Launcelot
jacques and and Mr.. HATS and 4.
We finished Wednesday by having a
bench show. and looking forward to Thurs
day, for this was the feature of the hunt,
which we were looking forward to the all
age dogs. and when we were done we
found we had SO Of the picked dogs of
Maryland. Virginia and Pennsylvania to
listen to and to pick the winners from.
The master and judges being ready at 8
o'clock we started and as it was still frosty
and dry we did not have much of race
until after O'Clock. when we had short
run, and came in hoping to have better
luck on Friday. which we did. but the fox
went straight away and we did not hear
as much of the chase as we would like to
have heard and the judges only got few
therefore it was necessary to run
Saturday morning. and as it had rained
during Friday night we we're able to have
a good race with the dogs that had 70 or
more points to their credit and each owner
was straining and hoping to hear his dog
lead or well up in the chase. When the
chase was over and scores counted the
result was First. Fly. owned by William
Marlowe. of Falkland. Montgomery county;

Slide Balks Work Oh New Conduit.
Washington Star of Friday.

Washington Star Of Friday.
Slow descent of a heavy mass of soft
rock" is impeding the work of drilling a
tunnel through the base of a large hill of
rock formation just this side of the dam
at Great Falls, and is causing the contrac-
tors considerable trouble. 1t is officially
stated, however, that the situation will not
prevent the completion by January 1, 1927,
of the new aqueduct system, now under
construction. The slide began several days
ago, and the engineers have not yet been
able to check its steady movement. They
say it is just "a pocket" Of soft rock, in an
otherwise solid formation, and that the
slide soon will exhaust itself by natural
processes The direction and extent of
the soft mass has not been determined.
The tunnel under construction is to be
about three-quarters of mile in length.
1t begins near the influx of the water at
Great Falls, and is to extend to a point
about mile west of the Anglers Club
house at Cropley. There it is to connect
with the big surface concrete conduit which
extends to the Dalecarlia, or receiving,
reservoir at the District line. The tunnel
itself is about 10 feet in diameter and is
lined with concrete.
force of go men. working "a hours
day, in three rotating hour shifts, is en-
Gagged on its construction, operating from
both ends. The gang from the west end
had penetrated about 1000 feet through
solid rock to a point where the workers
were about l40 #. below the surface of the
hill, when suddenly the roof caved In and
the tunnel head was filed by a mass of
what is described as soft rock"
Fortunately no one was hurt. but further
progress will be impossible until the mass
can be removed through the long passage
way already constructed to the ground
surface at the end. That would not have
been such difficult job If 1t had meant
the removal only of the soft rock that fell
at first but the work had only fairly
started again when it was found that the
slide was long and persistent one, and
kept coming in through the top whenever
space was made for it. and was of such
character that it could not be checked.
Engineers declare that further Roadway
is impossible at that point until the rock
stops sliding and is all removed, or some
method is devised to stop the flow. They
have been unable to establish the area Of
the pocket" but from the fact that it is
in the hill at its highest point it is feared
that it may be long and possibly wide
one. Maj. O'Connor says that the accident
will probably delay the completion of the
tunnel few months and add to the trou-
bles of the contractors. but that it will not
otherwise interfere with the general plan
Of completing the entire new water supply
system by January /. 1927. He added
that work is going on as usual in the con-
struction of the tunnel from the east end
and, with no setbacks. should soon be
completed to the connecting point where
the rock slide occurred The material be-
ing removed is used in the construction of
nearby roads.
