A man, shipping cheese at Point Lewis,
Quebec, for Portland, lost heavy gold

which the cheese was packed. He wired
statement of the fact to Station Agent
Frederick Smith, giving him the number
of the car and requesting him to have a
search made for the ring on the arrival
of thu car at its destination. Mr.. Smith
did as requested, and when the contents
of the car had been removed and the hay
carefully shaken and examined, the
missing piece of jewelry was found on the
floor of the car and was returned by mail
to it's owner by Mr.. Smith.

FOOTBALL MATTERS.
Captain Sullivan Re-elected--FinancesS 1915
Ahead.

At a meeting yesterday, the Portland
High School Football eleven unanimous
ly reelected John Sullivan to be captain
of the foot ball team for another year.
1t is fortunate for the team that Sullivan
has another year at the school. He GER
tainly has splendid qualifications for lead
ership, as we'll as skilful and effective
playing. He has demonstrated this very
conclusively during the season. he Is
possessed OF that necessary snap, ginger,
gimp, ETC., that is necessary for winning
victories of any kind.
Chapman, Allen and Robinson will get
through this year and leave big holes be-.
hind them.
Manager Skillins reports that the I'm
ances are about $75 ahead, which is very
excellent showing, and much better than
was expected. The last two games saved
them from indebtedness, due to previous
bad weather and small attendance.

The silver Conference,

The reader must have noticed in YES
terdays papers that the call for a silver
conference. TO begin in Washington on the
18th OF August, was signed only by Sena-
tor Harris. of Tennessee; Senator Jones.
OF Arkansas. and Senator Turpie, of In
diana. These gentlemen are good men and
true. Nobody can say that they are not
Democrats. But national conference on
the silver question at time when that
question Is in everybodys mouth would
be expected to be large and
tumultuors gathering. However the
committee In question was au-
thorized by the recent Memphis conven-
ton, and It's address was, no doubt
psnned and prepared for the public before
the great Kentucky convention OF this
week put a new phase upon matters.
We all know how and where senator
Daniel stands. and have no word Of CEN
tor Martin. who is one Of the shrewdest
politicians In Virginia. These gentlemen
have done no act Of imprudence, nor at
tempted 70 commit the Democratic party
u this State TO any financial policy.
Upon what basis will the Washington
conference be held? We are not au-
thorized to speak for either of the Virginia
senator's. nor for any Of the other senators.
But the 18th OF August Ii near at hand.
and nobody need make any unwise de-
cIaration before that time.

arrives, the delegates to the Washington

industrial Revival.

There is no question that genuine re-
vlvaI Of the iron industry has commenced.
The Cleveland Iron Trade Review, in It's
last issue, says.
Another week Of expanding demand IN
iron trade and of further advances in
pig-iron and some lines Of finished ma
terial has added strength TO an already
strong situation
The New York Times says.
"rhe railroads alone need iron and steel
enough to keep the manufacturing plants
busy for more than q year. but 50 far de-
mand has been largely for manufacturing
and structural purposes. In short, the
iron outlook is aglow with promise. and 1t
is inevitable that the prosperity which
has come upon i, with a rush will extend
10 all the network Of related Industries.
These are but specimens of the many
comments upon the iron situation we md
in our exchanges. and which bear out the
contention that the country is on the
eve of another era Of general industrial
prosperity. There is nothing truer than
that the iron interest in it, various rant
Gcations sets the pace for almost all the
other manufacturing interests.

Pneumatic Tubes,

We have long been in favor OF the trans
mission Of the mails by the use Of pneu-
matte tubes, and have wondered why let
ters should be allowed TO be so long on
their way from one Of the great cities to
another Of the great cities, or as 10 that
matter. why all the cities Of any consider
able size have not already lines of inter-
communication by means Of pneumatic
tubes. The New York Tribune Of the 2ith
says:
IF pneumatic tubes are placed on the
Brooklyn Bridge for carrying mails be-
tween New York and Brooklyn, a begin
ming will be made Of a system OF large
possibilities In mail transportation"
This implies that pneumatic tubes will
soon be used upon the Brooklyn Bridge
The Tribune further says;
when the plans for the new East
River bridge are drawn, provision should
certainly be made for a large tube or
tubes for mail purposes"
