THU Big STEAMERS.
More Of Them Coming This Winter
Than Ever.

The AIians Will Put On the BIontevidean
and Brazilian for a Monthly Service
Between Portland and London--Go
News for Workingmen.
Superintendent L. J. Sergeant of the
Grand Trunk, has perfected arrange
ments for steamer service that will be
much appreciated by Portland people. 1t
will be the most extensive, probably. that
the Grand Trunk has had here since
Portland became the winter port. There
will be three companies here, as last
winter, but there will be four or five
lines. The Allan Company, in addition
to their weekly service between Liver
pool and Portland, will run a monthly
line to London, using for it the fine
steamers Montevidean and Brazilian.
The Montevidean will leave London De-
cember goth and arrive here about jan
uary 3d. The Brazilian will come on the
10th of January and leave here for Lon
don on the 31st.
The Dominion line, besides its weekly
line between Portland and Liverpool,
will run several boats during the winter
between here and the Avenmouth docks
at Bristol
The Donaldson line will have fort
nightly service to Glasgow.
The Oregon, the first steamer to this
port, is already unloaded at her dock.
The Allan liner Numidian, is expected
about Sunday. About the same time the
first Donaldson liner will come. As yet
the offices of neither of these two lines
are open here.
The increased steamer service will be
welcome to the workingmen of the city,
and will assist materially in tiding over
the general hard times. A lively win
ter's work is expected; and the Grand
Trunk officials expect great amount of
freight will be landed. Agent Frederick
A. Smith said yesterday that he expect
the shipments Of hay abroad to be espec-
ially large.

That Deer Was Tame.

When the morning train for Portland
over the Grand Trunk was between Beth
ell and Bryant's Pond, Monday, the en-
gineer, George Buck, saw deer by the
side of the track. as the train turned a
bend in the road. The deer trotted
along at good rate of speed, and never
offered to run away until the locomotive
and about half of the tender had passed
him, and then he leaped over fence and
disappeared. The engineer says he
could easily have shot the animal if he
had had a rife, or lassoed him if he had
been in possession of rope. tits rarely
that deer is seen so tame.

History of Maine commandery.


Judge Henry S. Webster Of Gardiner
has in press history of Maine Com
mandery, No. 1, Knights Templar, OF
which organization he has long been an
enthusiastic and prominent member,
having passed through all the chairs up
to and including that of eminent COM
mander. 1t is labor of love. and the
author has produced work worthy of
the subject. Maine Commandery was
first organized in Portland in 1906, was
chartered in 1921, and was moved to
Gardiner in 1854. For number of years
it was the only Templar organization in
Maine. Its history is of great interest to
the general public as well as to the whole
Masonic fraternity.

SUGAR BEET RAISING.
Farmers Becoming Interested in the Sugar
Beet Industry.

Beet Industry.
MUCH satisfaction is being expressed
throughout the state over the prospect
of two or more meetings being held for
the discussion of the sugar beet ques-
tion. Correspondence indicates that
great interest is being taken in the
cultivation OF sugar beets by South Da-
kota farmers, and experiments have
proved so successful and satisfactory
that those engaged IN it are anxious to
obtain all the knowledge possible upon
the subject. President Shannon of the
State Board OF Irrigation is in daily
receipt OF letters from all parts of the
state inquiring about the proposed
meetings and indicating desire to be
present. The purpose of the gather
ings is to bring together men expert
enced in the cultivation of sugar beets
and the manufacture of beet sugar,
and by an exchange of views give those
interested in the subject the benefit of
their experience. Among the letters
received one from q gentleman OF fifty
years experience in sugar industries,
referring to South Dakota, says:
"There is no question about the soil
and climate of South Dakota for the
successful cultivation of sugar beets-
the soil, climate, and moisture are all
that could be desired. The question
is, will your farmers grow the beets?
IA lazy man has no business to culti-
vate beets. Men who can ride seeder
or harvester may not have energy
and tenacity and perseverance enough
to see beet crop through. Men who
cultivate wheat successfully may not
have intelligence sufficient to cultivate
beets successfully" Another writer,
4 capitalist, says: "Your farmers are
great promlsers. They will agree to
anything, but il the labor is severe, or
the care exacting, no matter what the
profit may be, they pinch out, and pre-
fer to grow wheat or corn at loss
rather than give especial industry and
care to better paying CROP"
Another says he is not in favor OF
investing in any more factories until
he is sure the farmers will steadfastly
keep their engagements and grow the
beets. 1t will not do to provide for
using the product of 1900 acres of
beets one year unless an equally large
product can be assured for series of
years. The question of soil and eli
mate has been dispoaed Of; all that is
now involved is the steadfastness of
the farmers In growing the beets-
upon them depends the success or fail
urn OF this enterprise. No beots, no
factories; an ample supply OF beets.
one or more factories in successful op-
Grafton. The enterprise will no doubt
be of vast benefit to the farmers of the

LIFE IMPRISONMENT.

tsheips round Gu,ity,

The jury in the Phelps murder case
at Alexandria after being out about
three hours and half, returned
a verdict OF guilty and fixed life
sentence. With hardly an excep-
tion the citizens Of Brule. and Ly-
man Counties were pleased with
the result pf the trial. The inn
prisonment Of Phelps Tor life removes
from this section one Of the most des-
perate and cold blooded scoundrels
that ever inflicted his presence upon q
frontier community. Since early days
1t has been common talk that the
Phelps gang was engaged in stealing
ponies and cattle from the Indians
west Of the Missouri River, and the
gang apparently made no attempt to
conceal the nature of it's operations.
Members Of the band, although cer-
tainly aware that everyone knew the
nature Of their occupation, were very
tender on having anyone criticize their
actions, and by threats and bluff have
for years intimidated many of the per-
sons who were aware of their unlaw-
ful practices. No one feared personal
violence from any of the gang, but
there were good grounds for believing
that some night the property Of the
threatened party or parties would be
burned to the ground or other injuries
inflicted in some cowardly manner.
But the imprisonment of Phelps effect.
ually breaks up the gang, and those
persons who, by their plain language
in denouncing the desporadoes, have
incurred the enmity of Phelps and his
tools deed no longer fear them. Law
abiding citizens who live near the
scene Of operations of the band can
now feel secure in their own homes
Heretofore they lived in constant fear

The annual session of the National

but the cold weather In the West, hard

mulate measures OF Importance. and to
lay them before the Legislative bodies.

lae.ninr OF Free wool.

Free wool has been. the cornerstone
Of the -tariff-reform" movement for
some years. The Democratic party
has seemed to have q special spite at
this industry. and now that they are in
. position to carry II out they are de-
termined to do 80. The Wilson bill
places wool on the free list, and its ad-
vOcates cay that it must stand ifevery-
thing else ~ changed. What does 1t
iAvolve?
= The wool clip OF the United States
.on the lst Of January, 1893, represent
.ed46, ,OO, eco sheep. worth $3.50, ,00O, 900,
producing an annual clip of over $68,.
OCO, 600 OF WOOL This takes no account
Of the, value Of the farms and buildings
devoted to the business. The number
o1 pp0ple enGaged, directly and indi.,
ke91fy, In the industry 10 estimated at
5,WU,0OO. The transportation of the
annual wool clip is worth $4,000 to
the railroads, to,say nothing OF the loss
that will fall on country merchants
and others who handle wool. Free
wool means the practical extinc-
tion. of all three interests. not
Immediately, but ultimately. Find
ing that he could only produce
wool at loss the American farmer
would. get out OF the business as soon
1spossible. Sheep would be fattened
for the shambles, and in few years,
hve OF six' at furthest, there would bs
no sheep raised in the United States
except fer the table.
:. Ip return for the destruction of this
Industry the Wilson bill advocates
claim that free wool would result in
reducing the price of clothing. The
United States consume 8OO, ,0OO, 900
pounds Of raw wool annually, which is
opa-auarteg OF the worlds supply. We
Produce over 500, 0OO, 900, or one-eighth
Of the worlds supply. Free wool may
possibly reduce the price of an all-wool
suit IS cents-probably less, certainly
not more. But by the time our WOOL
growing industry Is ldestroyed, cutting
of o1e-eighth Of the worlds supply,
and giving foreign producers the entire
coptrpl -of. this mapket, the price of
wool will have advanced SO that suit
at .voolen clothes will cost more than
it does now. Tho 4A6perican wool ip,
dustry will have been destroyed, the
imaginary benefits of. free wool will
have disappeared and the workingman
will be paying more for suit Of clothes
th9p he does to-day.-Indianapolis
