Islands population is underesti-

STATE HOUSE NOTES.

Insurance Commissioner Smith was at
the State House Tuesday.
The Governor and Council left Monday.
for their respective homes.
The board of assessors were in session
Tuesday examining accounts which were
s.ntin.
In the agricultural department, Secy Nc
Keen will have charge of the Office work
for week, during the absence of the
clerk, Mr.. Smiley.
Superintendent of Schools n. A. Luce
reports the convention of the Pedagogical
Society ut Watcrville being the most
largely attended and enthusiastic yet held
by the teachers.

was busily engaged in preparing to leave
for Bangor, where lie will take an active
part in the meeiiqg of the Maine Sports
mems convention Railroad Commissioner
Chadbourne has returned to his home in
Biddeford after several days visit to the
State House.
The agricultural department is receiving
lists containing names of farmers in towns
where they have not been accustomed to
nd publications of the department. Cir
cular letters were issued to the town clerks
requesting these lists. 1t will be for the
special interests of the farmers that this
move has been made in scattering the publ
cations on agriculture.
The savings banks iuvthe State have sent
to the State assessors for statement
regarding the bank tax. There are
- savings banks in the State and if each
requests statement it will make large
amount of extra work for the assessors.
The paper used for one statement measured
over three feet in length and was filled
with figures and writing. The large amount
of the tax seems to confuse the bank folks.
A Journal reporter on a visit to the
State House met in the adjutant generals
Office Colonel Pbibrook of the second reg
ment. The colonel informed him that a
military company will be Organized at
Houlton in few days. He says
they will have fine company and
that it will be great addition to the
State militia. The colonel expects grand
muster next season and thinks it will be es-
p cialy successful on account of the recent
additions.
