The Historic Landmark

One OF the most Interesting hi storical
landmarks in the State 10 the old block house
at North Edgecomb. Ii was built in l745
and ~as occupied during the embargo of
1907 and the war Of 1912. The block house
Of Fort Haitian at the mouth of the Sebasti-
cook in winsiow, and this old fort at Edge
comb are the only two forts left from the
time Of the Indian ware, the block house At
Fort Kent being relic of the "Aroo.took
var only. Fort Halifax was repaired BY
the historical society some years ago aud
will probably be cared for and kept up in
the future by the Maine Central railroad,
which has evinced interest in its p-eservs-
ton. The old fort at Edgecemb is not 80
fortunately situated. The Dsmart.cotts
Herald says efforts have been made to pre-
serve il from decay. bu; the movement does
not seem to proper, and = portion of the
building Is fast crumbling away. The old
fort should certainly be preserved in some
way. Cannot the historical societies of the
State do something. The cost would proba-
bly, be slight; and a very small sum would
keep IL in repair for long time. There are
no more interesting and suggestive remind
ere Of the heroism and hard.hips Of the men
and women who wrested Maine from the
forests aud the savsses than these old block
houses. These monume nts Of state of So
eiev which has happily gone. but TO which
We owe % much, should not be allowed to
disappear; but should be kept for future
generations, to whom they will be more in
tefestsng than to US even Portland Press.

question arose ON All appeal from the decis
ion OF the collector ( customs at New York

cent importation of that merchandise. which
they claimed to be dutisble at the rate Of
10 cents pound,
In = letter t. the collector Acting Svcre-
tary Batcheiler says that the question as to
the lassihcation of merchandise OF this
character was decided by the department on
the Goth of October. 1887. and il vns then
- 1t was on the 18Th Of July, 1887. which
held that wooden waste which may have
been broker up and put through The garnet

secured wool, that 10 TO say when of the
first class and costing under 80 cents per
pound in the un~sshed condition, is dutiable
at rate Of 30 cents per pound ~ assessed
by him. The collectors decision in the case
in question is therefore affirmed.
