The following fish story from San

it seems. While Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas

got large pickerel on his hook. Be-
fore he could land the fish, however,
1t broke away. The peculiar part of
the story was that in the fish's strug
giles to get away, in some way it
fastened it's teeth into it's tail, form
ing a hook of itself and falling upon
the water, could neither swim nor
dive. Mr.. Mithee reached from the
boat and caught the fish with his
hands. This time the landing was
successful, and the family enjoyed
the fish for dinner. Mr.. Mithee
thinks that in a life time of fishing
trips so unusual an occurrence could
not be repeated.

One of the most novel cases in
connection with lobster fishing was
tried at Biddeford, Monday afternoon
in the municipal court before Judge
John A. Snow when William Church,
a well known lobster fisherman from
the Pool, was tried on a charge of
catching a lobster which had a hole
in the f1ipper.
Judge Harry B. Aver appeared for
Church. He made an eloquent plea
in defense of Mr.. Church, arguing
that it was an utter impossibility
for man catching such a lobster to
tell whether or not the hole had been
punched in the flipper of the lobster
by the state department workers or
If some person had previously caught
the lobster and punched the hole in
the tail in some way, then thrown
the lobster back in the water. Judge
John p. Deering appeared for the
state.
Judge Aver made motion that
the case be mol pressed and the mo-
yvoc tod hxy T,,I T1lo.

charged.
Something new in the elimination
of waste by-products has been in
stalled at the saw mill of the NADIA
waska Company of Van Buren,. Une
til recently quite a large number Of
the pieces of waste wood were
burned in the fire which is main
tanned near the ST. John River by
the company for the burning of the
waste from the cutting up of the
logs. The company has now in
stalled several clippers and bankers
which bark the wood and cuts it up
into chips suitable and ready for |
use in the manufacture of pulp. BY
this method the company is able to |
eliminate a good deal of the waste |
product from their cutting up mill |
for long lumber. The services of |
about fifteen are needed to take care |
of this part of the operation. The |
output is about two carloads per day |
and the chips are shipped to the !
plant of the Great Northern Paper |
Company at Millinocket where it is |
manufactured into paper Instead of |
going into use as firewood or still |
worse into the bonfire, the wood is |
thus diverted to good use and be- |
comes an asset for the company in |
stead of going to waste.

was held at the common council |
chamber at Biddeford, Monday after

talk over the new plant which Mr.. I

Spring Co, would like to locate in |
this city for the manufacture of |
automobile springs. The matter has |
been taken up previously with rep |
resentatives of the chamber of COM |
