Names First Post Office.

In 1875 the post office at Wiscasset Tor
probably Pownalborough, now Dresden on
the kennebec river was the most eastern
post Office in the State, to which mail from
Portland was brought twice a month. 1t
was the distributing office for the eastern
part of the State. In 1898 George Russell,
of Castine, was hired by private individuals
to 60 from Castine to Wiscasset to bring
LISTERS and newspapers to the several towns
on the route. He went on foot once a
fortnight and carried his mai, at FIRST in a
yellow silk handkerchief, and afterwards in
saddle bags. In 1899 there were letter
mails once a week. John Grindle, of Sedg-
wick, contracted to carry the mail from
Fassanlaquoddy (now Eastport) by Machias,
Gouldsborough, sullivan, Trenton and Blue
hill to Penobscot tnow Castine) snd return
by the same route, once in two weeks, at the
rate of $3.50 for every quarter of year.
There were no roads at this time, and he
carried the mail in q boat along the shore.
The first pOstoffice established east of Wis
casset was at Gouldsborough, 1892. There
was no postofice at Passamaquoddy East
port,) at the end of John Grinde's route,
until 1902 He must have been the first
route agent east of Penobseot river. Ofces
were established at Thomaston, Camden,
Belfast and Prospect in 1895; in Sullivan,
1874 Bluehill, 1885; Buckstown. 1888 at
Castine, Hampden, Bangor, Orrington and
Eddington in 1907 Bangor Historical

From Our Regular Correspondent
Washington Letter.



But little is talked about in Washington
besides the hot weather and the Grant OBJ
sequies. The political campaign in Vir-
ginia is exciting some attention but it is
yet too early in the engagement to rvet the
interest, even of the professional politicians
of both parties. who crowd Washington. 1t
may be said that the professional politician
as well as the office seeker are much scarcer
in Washington than they have been for some
months past. First the President turned a
cold shoulder on them. and now a succession
of hot waves have made life in Washington
pretty hard living
The White House has been closed except
to those who have business appointments.
Only routine work is going on at the De-
psrtments On next FRIDAY the President
and bic Cabinet will leave for New York

The Portland Press IS greatly mvsti-
fed over Washington dispatch which II
found III the -Arg's of Friday The dis
patch announced the appointment Of one F.
B. Dunton as postmaster at Centre Lincoln
vile, in place Of Mr. Drake reported to
have resigned. The Press saws:
There IS a man BY the name of F. b.
Dunton now confined in the Portland iail
under an eight months sentence for embez-
element. Some curious condolences about
these two F. b. Dunt0ns are to be noted.
In the first place their names are the same.
In the second place Centre Lincolnyille, the
place at which the first is reported to have
been appointed post master is the town which
the f. b. Dunton now 10 jail halls from. Gu
rlously enough, too, the crime for which the
latter now languishes in Jail. was committed
IN Postoffice. in this very postoffice of Cen
tire Lincoinvlle, in which he was denuty
postmaster. Wonderful to relate, Mr.. Al
bon Drake, who has resigned to give place
to the other r. b. Dunton, was the postmas-
ter when the wicked F. B. Dunton was steal
ing from the government by making false
returns Of cancelled stamps. Then. too,
oOtu tIiest T. D. Duntons are Democrats,
The circumstantial evidence appears to
be overwhelming that these two F. B. Dun
tons are one and the same person, and vet
it is incredible that reform administration
would knowingly appoint thief convicted
on his own confession to preside over the
Office that was the scene of his crime. es-
pecially as his present engagement will pre-
vent him from discharging the duties of the
office for two months. 1t is equally incred-
ible that ii could have been deceived because
the Hon. S. S. Brown, chairman of the
Democratic State Committee, who is coach.
ing the Postmaster General in regard to the
fourth class postofices, is thoroughly famil-
lar with all the applicants, and would not
knowingly recommend a man who is in Jail
We confess that this mystery battles US.
We cannot doubt that these two Duntons
are identical, vet we cannot believe that the
administration would appoint or Mr. Brown
while in his right mind recommend con-
ricted thief. The most plausible solution
we can think of is the assumption that the
intense heat that has prevailed in Washing
ton lately has wilted Mr.. Browns brain.
