In an extended review of wood en ship building in Bath, Maine, the Boston Advertiser shows that Bath is not only the greatest wooden ship building place in the United States, but the greatest in the world. The value of the ship ping built there within a century past is estimated to be upward of $50,000,000. The largest annual production was in 1854, when 04, 327 tons were built, or 87 vessels. Of this number 59 were ships. In the ten years ending 1840 the building amounted to 09,559 tons. Th next decade showed a gain of about 70 per cent., the total being 118,732 tons. Between 1850 and 1860 the product nearly trebled, and reached 324,S8S tons. The war period brought the yield of next term down to 163,539, but between 1S70 and 1SS0 there was a gain of 37 per cent., giving a total for that period of 225,046 tons. During the past 'ear the tonnage of vessels launched at Bath was 39,090, with vessels of 13,520 remaining on the stocks. The cost of a completed wooden ship, or other new vessel, is reck oned ot from $50 to 55 a ton. The vessels launched last year at all the Maine ship yards gave a total tonnage of C2,567 tons, with 23,010 tons on the stocks. The official report of the wooden ship building of the whole country for the 3Tear ending June 30, 1881, places Maine at the head, with 41, 374 tons. Next in rank is Michi gan, with 5,S52 tons. Then comes Massachusetts, with G,723 tons; Wisconsin, 3420 tons; Pennsylva nia, 3,278; California, 3,197 tons. In one of the Bath ship j'ards is a planer, said to be the largest in the world. It is capable of work ing a keel piece of timber sixty six feet long, five feet wide, and two and one-half feet deep. The keel comes out of the machine ready for laying on the blocks, and perfectly smooth and true on all sides. A beveling saw is another capacious machine, which turns out timber at any desired angle from the horizontal, and by it curved timber and ship knees can be worked true to the line. The steam engine which runs these machines runs also a bolt cutting machine which will nip off round iron of any diameter up to two inches; also a large and a small circular saw, a machine for mak ing tree-nails, and, in the finishing shop, a band and circular saw, a planer, moulding machine, and a plug and wedge machine. The waste steam is used in bending timber. A plant for the construc tion of iron ships is now under way, and it is expected that the first iron vessel will be begun in May. Tun "isolated city o the great northwest," is up the Missouri river, 1,200 miles beyond Bis tnark, away from any railroad, hemmed in by mountains, and at this season of the year shut out from all the world. It bears the name of Benton, in honor of l01d Bullion," and is the magazine of the British northwest. It is a sub stantial town, because lumber is so costly there that it is economy to build with briclc. During: nav igation twenty-two steamboats carry freight to this remote city, and the volume of business there justifies a chamber of commerce and mammoth brick blocks. Not long ago a new member of congress was invited to a dinner. He described it thus: "There wasn't nothing on the table when he got there but some forks and spoons and bricky-brack. Presently they brought in some soup As I didn't see nothin' else, I thought Fd eat all the soup I could, though soupis a mighty poor dinner to invite a feller to. So I was helped four times: and then came on the finest dinner I ever see, and there I set,5' groaned he, "chock full of ioup." Washington Gossip. Referring to the reported intention of certain Democratic senators so to act as to enable the Republican senators to elect David Davis's successor as presi dent pro tern., regardless of Sena tor Mahone, a Democratic senator said: "Neither party in the senate is so rich in votes that it can afford to throw one away. What good it would do us to have a Republican elected presiding officer, why we should help, the Republicans out of their difficul ties, or do anything to deprive ourselves of the advantages which may come of their troubles, is not apparent." Senator Mahone does not coverse in a manner to afford any indication of what his action will be, further than that he perceives no reason for changing from his course of two years ago, when he voted with the. Republicans to fill certain offices with certain per sons. If these persons are still de sirous of his vote, they will have it, unless some better reason for withholding it than he has yet seen is given. He makes no de mands for himself on committees, and declines all suggestions of places for friends as the basis of an arrangement for filling the of fices of the senate. A bill has been introduced into the Victoria parliament to incor porate Ainsworth & Co., and oth ers, as a railway and steamboat company, with a capital of $5,000, 000, It authorizes them to navi gate Kootenay lake and the Col umbia river, and to build a railway between the two sheets of water, 45 miles in length. Extensive ga lena mines are said to have been discovered in the district which the company propose to work. Another bill, of another company, authorizes the construction of a line of railway from Fraser river to Semiahmoo. It is thought that W. F. Boolh by, architect and superintendent of construction of the insane asy lum, has "a good thing of it," in the receipt of S a day from the state for services in such capacity though he now and then take trips to California "for his health," during which time it is alleged the pay goes on. It is to bo hoped that Mr. Boothby's health shall improve. It might be cheaper to employ a skillful physician to keep Mr. Boothby's sanitary con dition in a manner more satisfac tory to the public purse. Senator Gkoyeb presented the credentials of election of Senator elect Dolph in the senate last Mondaj-. In two states California and New Jersey, nine out of twelve on a jury can convict or acquit. Forty-one divorce cases were on call in a Chicago court on one day of last week. No ne'w states this session. NEW TO-DAY For Sale or Rent. A HOUSE AND LOT IN WILLIAMSPORT.
