LETTER FROM DOVER

To-day saw the breaking of the
hottest spell ever experienced in
Dover at least, might say in the
memory of the oldest inhabitant.
Saturday, Sunday and Monday
saw the mercury rise to a hundred
and over. Strange to say, there
were no sunstrokes and but one or
two slight prostrations, although
had not great many of our labor
ing men stopped work during the
warmest hours there would un-
doubtedly been some fatalities to
report
About fifteen or twenty young
workmen employed in the various
trades were arrested while bathing
at Water street wharf last evening
and carried before the Alderman.
After great deal of wrangling by
the lawyers the young men, who
said they were ignorant of any law
they might have broken, were al
lowed to depart with a slight rep
rimand from the President Of
Council.
The excursionists to Colchester
have come to the conclusion that
they were not treated right by the
railroad, and the Sunday school
committee has appealed to the Of
icers of the road for justice. Con
sidering the cars they had, and the
delay also, they are demanding no
more than is just.
Besides the Improvements being
made to our churches, which 1
mentioned last week, there is con
siderable private improvements
and building carried on at the pres
ent time in town. There are four
houses now being erected and at
least half dozen undergoing ex-
tensive repairs and remodeling.
At this time next week Camden
camp meeting will be in progress,
and a good part Of Dover's popu-
lation will spend its evenings there
for over a week.
Until subscription is taken up
Dover will be without the most
useful part of its town clock, that
is the striking part The wire
rope that suspended the 1900
pound striking weight broke Sat
urday and Dover has been without
its welcome sound since.

Arctic Hunt
For Airmen
Filters of Three Ma
tons at Fairbanks
Ready for Hop into
Frozen North

Fairbanks, Alaska, Aug. 17.-(AP)
--Aviators of three nations gathered
on the rim of the Arctic today for a
search into the bleak wastes where six
Russian trans-polar fliers vanished
last Friday.
Wind, rain and lowering clouds,
which swept ominously across the
top of the world yesterday, baked
American, Russian and Canadian air
men from launching an aerial hunt.
Among those grounded by the
storm was Jimmy Mattern, American
aviator who in 1888 was saved from
death in the wilds of Siberia by Sigis-
mund Levaneffsky, pilot of the miss
ing plane, which was enroute here on
a 4,OOO-mile flight from Moscow.
Mattern, on a world flight when he
crashed in Siberia, spent yesterday
equipping his ship with de-icers, and
a refuelling plane to enable him to
extend his search was en- route here
from his California headquarters.
In the Northwest territory Cana
dian Pilot Bob Randall was ready to
soar over the frozen Arctic ocean in
plane chartered by the Russian En-
bassy in Washington.
