AN Augusta citizen suggests in the
Lewiston Journal that it would be a
good scheme "to set up lumber mill
at Chicago as part of our Maine ex-
hibit at the Columbian Exposition.
If we could set out a boom on the
lake and have a lot of river drivers
houses and men working the boom
and chute, it would be great thing.
Maine is a lumber and pulp-mill
State, and we ought to advertise. !"

EVERYTHING seems to point to the
fact that France and Russia have

incongruous combination it is.
France stands for the most advanced

tithesis of Russia, which groans I'M
der the weight of a semi-barbaric,
autocratic rule that IS an eyesore to
modern civilization. That lasting
