LoRDLY PINES.
A Grove of Nasts That War Prices Could
Not Touch.
Especial Correspondence


HALLowELL, January 27-About ten
miles from here, in the town of Vassal-
boro, there are located six or seven pine
groves in the State, the trees are straight
and tall, some exceeding hundred feet,
their circumference being in good pro-
portions to their height. These groves
adioin the farms of well-to-do dairyman
and notwithstanding many of the lumber
kings have endeavored to gain possession
of them, it has been an impossible thing
for any reasonable sum, until a few days
since, Colonel Elias Milliken was fortu-
nate to secure the pride of the lot for
$500, and will cut, as the Colonel says,
three hundred thousand feet of as flne
pine boards as one would care to look
upon. This grove is on the old Smell
place and has quite history. 1t seems
that in war time, when old MI. and Mrs.
Smell were alive, a naval contractor was
down through this section looking out
for some good sticks to be used as masts
in war ships and some one directed him
to the Smells, stating that they possessed
grove which could furnish him with as
fine spars as he wished. Encouraged
with this report the contractor secured

the grove that he might judge for himself,
as to the value, and quality OF the timber
before seeing the owners. He found the
timber good, and two of the mighty
pines towering above their neighDors
struck his espicial fancy as we'll as adj
miratiOn. Here was just what he had
sought fer without success up to tnat
time, and ifit were a possible thing, as
he told his man, he intended to pur-
chase them. He Immediately made for
the farm house, where undoubtedly he
expected to be able to buy these grand
old monarchs at a very meager price, but
found he had counted without his host,
for when the Smells were asked ii they
would not like to dispose OF few pieces
of timber, they informed him with IN
dignation mot stick" Every induce
ment diplomacy could bring to bear was
used but without avail. A request was
made that a price should be placed
upon two pieces of timber with the
privilege of choice from the grove. This
would not work, and finally the exorbIt-
ant sum of $500 apiece was offered
for the two best pieces, which had
already been viewed by the would be
purchaser. But this offer was refused
with the remark, it is said, "If there
never is a spar in the American Navy
without cutting down my trees the ships
will have to float without masts for not
tree will contribute for any price"
And so the grove has remained unmo-
Tested up to this date. But now the
woodman will not spare those trees
which are considered so valuable that
saws will be used to cut them down thus
saving every foot of wood. The timbers
will then be hauled to Five Mile Land
ing from which place they will be RATED
to the Coloners mills in Hallowell.

sound as NUT" said Mr.. Milliken's
foreman to PRESS representative today.

have been working for years, testing
materials, color and finish, in order to
obtain the best goods possible for their
fine retail trade, and as the result, have
produced a Black Silk Warp Henrietta

time without any apparent change in
color or lustre.
We make these special sales, under

extensively, knowing full well that every
sale we make will bring us continued
patronage and a very favorable recon-
mendation of the goods to their friends.
The prices for this sale will be as fol-
lows, which is about % cents per yard
under price; SO cents, $1.00, $1.15, $1.25,
$1.35, $3.50, $1.62, $1.75, $500, 1925.

shins threaten to buck before they have
been tried, put a little iodine or
light blister of some sort on to take
the soreness out and tide them along
until they have been tried. Ii they get
very sore, however, it is best to stop
them, for to continue working
them with sore shins makes them
bad tempered, and the temper OF
a colt is an important thing to guard.
After they are tried blister their shins
thoroughly, when they are turned out.
I take up my horses and begin get

to the 18th of January; usually about

preparation. It gets their flesh hard
and substantial, and when they are put
in hard training they don't lose flesh SO
fast.
When take them up trot and can
ter them at first, always giving them
their exercise outdoors, instead of under
cover. when the weather permits. As
the spring advances work them faster
and further, but the amount of work to
give any horse depends entirely on the
horse. One must take his disposition
and constitution into consideration
No two horses can be trained just alike;
it is the individual you must train. Some
horses require great deal of work to
fit them for racing and a great deal to
keep them fit, and others require very
little.
When they are in racing condition l
don't think it is well to ask too much of
a horse in the way of trials before his
races. They don't need SO much strong
work, and trainer frequently makes
the mistake of having his horse run his
race in his trial. Unless a horse is
gross and sluggish, when he is racing
twice week he won't require rauch
exercise beyond trotting and cantering
So it was with Charlie Gorham. His
races served him as work, and never

Judge Libbey was Not Registered.

AUGUSTA, January 27.-The Augusta
board of registration today rendered a
decision on matter Of great interest. 1t
will be remembered that Artemas Libby,
judge of the supreme court, appeared be-
fore the board in response to the demand
for personal registration, but refused to
answer the questions save one and re-
fused to sign as required of all who reg
istered. The matter was then tabled. 1t
was taken up again today and the major
ity of the board voted not to put the
judges name ON the list.
Judge Libbey is now in Auburn hold
ing court. 1t is not known that he has
made any statement why he refused to
comply with the rules of the registrars.
They were given to understand that he
did not deem it necessary to answer all
their questions when he appeared before
them, December Sd. Of the board, Mr.
Williams, Republican, favored register
ing Judge Libbey. Col. Morton, Demo
craft, and Chairman Bangs voted against
it. They say: eff the rules are unreason-
able or unjusta mandamus from Justce
of the supreme court can be obtained,
instructing the board wherever they are
wrong. IF reasonable, of which there
seems to be no doubt in the minds of
those who have registered, then there is
no reason for this board to suspend them
in this one case"
