Last Wednesday night the Town
Team" walked away from Dover
Foxcroft A. A., taking the greater
part of the evenings score along
with them. The game was too one
sided to be very interesting, and Ellis
worth fans were somewhat dis
appointed 1t had been advertised
that no subs would be brought with
the Dover-Foxcroft boys. Circum-
stances prevented the visiting team
from carrying out this policy, as
Martin. left guard, and Ted Soper,
center. were both i'll and could not
Dlav. Mason, as left guard, and
Keyte, as center, filled the gaps,
made by the absence of these two
players.
A fast and clean passing game was
played for the first three periods.
Near the close of the third, Keyte
was injured, and was forced to leave
the game Four players on side
finished the final period. AUSTIN

The Chrysler Six of Bangor,
scheduled for tonight, has taken to
the tall timber. They objected to
the Ellsworth referee, and suggested
one of their selection. ELLSWORTH
suggested four different neutral
referees, but the Chryslers would
not listen They wanted their ref
cree or none. 1t looks as IL they
realized they needed him to defeat
Ellsworth.
Report comes from Bangor to-day
that Utterback & Gleason, hackers OF
the Chrysler Six, pronounclng the
action of the team in concelling the
Ellsworth game unsportman ike,
have called in the Chrysler suits and
notified the team it was through
with it.
With the Chrysler game off, Ellis

hill team. The Bluehillers have
been putting up corking good
game, and have met some of the
best of them, including the much
Chryslers, who did
not have very much over them. 1t
will be a good game tonight.

center of the hall. Paper hats and
streamers added to the general scene
of gaiety.

the grand march and circle. All the
old steps and courtesies were remem-
bered by Ellsworth's mayor FRIDAY
night Mary Moore's orchestra OF
Bar Harbor played. Between the

Three persons were killed and a

ICE CUTTING.
A. W. Garland Has New Equipment
at Leonard Lake.

A. w. Garland Has New Equipment
at Leonard Lake.
Y A. w. Garland is carrying on an
extensive ice-harvesting industry
this winter, going beyond last years
production. Last fall Mr.. Garland
built new ice house on the east
shore of Leonard lake, at the head
of Sterling street, The structure
is So feet long, 80 feet wide and Is
feet high. Last Thursday the final
cake slid into place on the top layer
of 500 tons of ice-the capacity OF
the new ice house.
Mr.. Garland is now filling private
ice houses, and estimates that he will
cut approximately 1000 tons, besides
the 500 he has stored for his owl
summer trade. Each cake OF ice
taken from the lake is clear, blue
white, not a trace of snow IN evil
dence. Mr.. Garland accomplished
this by keeping scraper at work all
winter. After every snowstorm and
blow. the snow has been cleared
from the cutting field, leaving be-
tween fifteen and seventeen inches OF
perfect ice.
A narrow canal reaches from the
cutting field to the shore, where an
endless chain arrangement, driven
by a gasolene motor, catches the
cakes and carries them up the chutes
and down to a platform. Then they
are loaded directly on to truck or
sled and hauled away. A crew OF six
or eight men keeps things moving
rapidly.

Municipal Politics.

Another municipal election is
drawing near, and calls are out for
the republican and democratic eau
cuses to be held next week, but no
great interest is as yet manifest. II
Mayor Hodgkins and the present
democratic aldermen consent to
stand for another year, it is probable
that they will meet with no serious
opposition. We have heard no seri-
Gus criticism of the administration OF
city affairs.
But this is State election year,
and if the republicans feel that
political organization would be
helped by spring ticket, we may yet
have a municipal scrap. 1t is un-
fortunate that administration of our
own little local affairs cannot be en-
tirely divorced from politics. The
millennium may yet come, when the
Mons and lambs of Ellsworth NUM-
t.ipal politics may lie down together,
but that day is not yet We have
approached pretty close TO it in the
Dast few years, but always that
political itch gets under the skin,
and the love feast Is interrupted by
much scratching.
The party caucuses next week Will
tell the story, whether we are TO
have a fight or not; the voters, as
whole, seem not inclined to hight.
OF course, there will be contest Tor
street commissioner to liven Things
mp a bit.

The strike of hard coal miners is
entering it's sixth month, and estab-
fishing a record for endurance. 1t is
probably neither miners nor oper-
ators, when they timed the strike on
the eve of the winter, imagined that
it would last through the winter,
until they felt the pinch of it them
selves They relied upon the pres
sure of public opinion to terminate
the strike, giving the miners some
part of their demands, while the
operators pocketed increased profits.
But it looks as if they had gone
step too far The suffering public
has learned that it can keep warm
without hard coal, and now, with
spring near at hand, there is a grow
ing Indifference whether the miners
go to work or not. Perhaps miners
and operators both have learned a
wholesome lesson.
