Next W eek The Fair.

Nothing now remains except clear
skies and a braeing atmosphere to
make the sixth annual fair of the
Hancock county fair association a
great success. 1t opens at Wyman
park, Ellsworth, on Tuesday, the eth
inst, and continues through We'd
nesday and Thursday.
The management has been indefat-
igable in its efforts to make the
event surpass in interest and useful
ness all its predecessors.
This fair is essentially a county
institution; its success or failure de-
ponds not on the management alone,
but on the cooperation of the
farmers and merchants of the county
Active interest in it does not i'm
ply lack Of interest in other fairs to
be held in the county; on the con
trary, interest in it argues interest in
all events that make for improve
ment in farming. stock raising, and
all other industries of the county
that go to make up its existence and
its prosperity.
The money value of premiums
offered is of little consequence com
pared with the healthful emulation
that should inspire exhibitors on oc-
casions of this sort. The information
to be gained, processes to be COM
pared, mistakes discovered only to be
rectitied in coming years-these are
some of the things that should at
tract people to a county fair, and
induce them to make the best show
ing possible, regardless of premiums.
From week to week all along THE
AMERICAN has kept its readers in
formed of the progress made by the
management, and this last week be-
fore the event may be found a still
further list of events that may be ex-
pected.
The fair will not be without the
usual attractions incident and neces-
sary to draw crowd, and it is earn
estly to be hoped that the untiring
efforts of the fair managers will be
rewarded by generous patronage
from every part of the county.

American Tin Plate.

lone day last week. says the Bos-
ton Journal, lone of the greatest of
the new American tin plate works
shipped carload of its product of the
finest grades to Italy; on the day fol-
lowing another carload was shipped
to England. This was new depart
ure in our export trade 1t was hailed
with delight by the friends of protec
ton. 1t brought keen discontinue
to the foes of protection, who only
few years ago were insisting that
American made tin plate was
'myth'-that the article never could
be manufactured by American work
mem
This episode is significant as illus
trating the final stage in the creation
of new industry by protective leg
islation. Seven years ago, when the
Mckinley tariff was passed, no tin
plate was manufactured in America,
though America was the heaviest con-
sumner of tin plate in all the world.
Our supply of this indispensable ar
ticle was altogether Impeachment
of it coming from the mills of South
Wales and Monmouthshire The Nc
Kinley law, with its duty of 2.5 cents
per pound, for the first time offered
sufficient protection to offset the
lower range of foreign wages, and to
persuade our manufacturers to engage
in tin plate production.
''They undertook their task with
characteristic energy and thorough
ness. Not content with the methods
of the Old World, which had not
changed for generation, they in
vented improved machinery and in
troduced new labor-saving devices.
They rapidly increased their produc-
ton from ISIS, POP pounds in 1898
to 1876, 223, 467 pounds in 1894, to 1884,
sO1, 703 pounds in 1895, and to 307 ,000,-
900 pounds in 1895. Moreover, prac-
tically the whole output in this last
year was made from steel plates
which had been rolled in America.
Thus the political enemies of
American industry have been con-
founded at every point, for they had
protested that even if the thinning
process were performed here the thin
steel sheets which form the body of
the plates would have to be imported

first the domestication of tin-plate
manufacturing on small scale in this
country, under the protection of an
adequate tariff, then its swift and
steady growth in production of more
than three fold from 1898 to 1896, un-
til it commands the lions share of the
American market; then the domes-
tication of the manufacture of its
chief material; now the beginning of
an export business based upon the
excellent quality of the American
made article.
precisely what is now being done
with tin plate has been done in past
years with cotton goods, with fire
arms, with electrical appliances, with
locomotives, with almost all kinds of
tools and machinery. For a time pro
lection may perhaps have caused
these things or some of them to cost
a little more, but in the long run the
result has first been to give the Amer
lean people a superior article at a
lower pr re; and then to sell this ar
ticle abroad in competition with the
very things which used to be i'm
ported But because some classes OF
American cotton goods are freely
purchased in foreign markets it by no
means follows that other classes have
outgrown protection and need no
duty whatsoever. So with tin plate.
The mere fact that some kinds of tin
plate are being exported by no means
signifies that protection for the en-
tire industry can safely be dispensed
with.
Protection has not yet done its
perfect work, but it is doing it with
an irresistible precision which is the

ports that he found in the wilds just

ton of state lands of the natural tim
Der. Mr.. Berg found that in the eX-
IRENE northern portions of Itaska, st.

thieves have been making extensive
depredations, evidently assuming that
the district is so far from the general
visitation of the state officials that the
thefts would not be detected, or If they
were, that the thieves themselves
would be able to escape discovery.
Mr.. Berg has reported his discoveries
to State Land Commissioner Dunn and
also to State Fire Warden Andrews,
unofficially, and it is likely that an in
vestigation will be started which will
bring the depredations to a stop, If it
does not. indeed, result in the appre-
hension Of the thieves. The authorities
look with suspicion already on one or
two prominent lumber firms, which
have been mixed up previously in
transactions of similar nature, and
it is believed that when the thefts are
traced to the real culprits, the lumber
men who are encouraging the actual
thieves, that there will be a sensation
of interest in perhaps two of three

TARPON IS BLAMED.
Yacht Club Regatta .Committe,
Passes on Claimed Fouls.

Passes on Claimed Fouls.
The White Bear Yacht club regatta
committee, after patient Investigation
and much coming of the yachting au-
thorities, has decided the fouls which
occurred between the first-class sloops.
Akela and Tarpon, in the regular race
of July 81.
The first foul occurred through the
fault of Tarpon, and the question at
once raised was whether Tarpon was
out of the race or not after that foul.
Much was said on either side and
now the committee has found that she
was clearly out of the race But the
second foul at the Wildwood buoy was
one involving rights Of way so delicate
and important that the committee
chose to enter upon a discussion of the
rights of Akela and Tarpon at the mo-
ment of that second foul, and the rul-
ing now made is of the greatest con-
sequence to the club.
The full text of the committees rul-
ing is as follows:
In the race of July 81, 1897, two fouls oc
pom. A Judge reported the first foul to the
regatta committee and the Tarpon protested
the Akea on the second.
In the first foul the Tarpon, being on the
port tack, was clearly in the wrong in en-
deavor.ng to cross the bow of the Akela
the latter being on the starboard tack. The
Tarpon is therefore disqualified.
After thus plainly fouling Akela, Tarpon,
having lost her sailing rights, should have
kept entirely clear of all yachts still in the
race.
Although, therefore, unnecessary, the COM
mittee considers the second foul in order to
establish ruling upon vital point of right
of way.
The yachts Tarpon and Akela were ap-
preaching the Wildwood buoy close hauled
but from different directions and on opposite
tacks the Tarpon on the port and the Akela
on the starboard tack. Tarpon was slightly
in the lead, and could have rounded the
mark without lacking. When she reached
the mark she altered her helm and bore away
across the bows of the Akela in order to
round, claiming the right of way on the
grounds that she had altered her helm for
the purpose Of rounding The evidence
shows that Akela might have passed clear of
Tarpon's stern, but instead of so doing luffed
and precipitated a foul.
Held, that Tarpon, on the port tack
could not claim the right over yacht
on the starboard tack even at buoy. That
the onus OF keeping clear remained entirely
with the Tarpon, and that Akela, as on the
starboard tack, had right to luff as she
pleased.
The rights of yacht to buoy after alter
ing her helm for the purpose Of rounding
when on the port tack are considered Sec
ondary to the rights Of the starboard tack
as possessed by another yacht.
