Their land is just as productive as that in other

county are preparing to SOW large crops ,of
wheat this fall. Strawberries bring them for
tune every year, and as their wheat crop was
such success last spring they will SOW more Of
the grain this year. Craighead and Arkansas

To Dredge Tor Gold.


A party Of II Maine men, the majority
of whom are from Portland, have organic
ed themselves into company and will sail
from that city on Jan. l for the hlondike
gold regions. The vessel in which they
are to make the trip is a staunch bark and
she is now in Portland harbor. She will be
fitted up and provsioned for the long
cruise and will carry, besides other things,
large stock of those articles which will
meet with ready sale on the Alaskan
coast. The men themselves have subscrib-
ed s., 800 each for this trip and are to share
alike in any of their discoveries or ven
lures.
The method of work to be followed is
somewhat novel. 1t is to be by dredging.
Several members of the party have had
practical experience in this line of work
for many years, and this will add to the
factors for success, With this end in view
a light dredging outfit will be carried, to-
gether with steam launch in sections all
ready to be put together when needed
There are also several boat builders in the
party, and on arriving at the river a scow
will be built. The bark will be sold if
possible. The party will then go up the
river with the launch and scow and when
the gold regions are reached the digging
apparatus will be set to work exploring the
bottoms of the small creeks and rivers.
The trip will be made around Cape Horn.
The party will carry along supplies enough
to last them over a year and will have
enough more to dispose of at Klondike
prices to nearly pay the expenses of their
long trip around the Horn.

Maine at the Boston Food Fair.

Maine will make a fine exhibit at the
coming food fair in Boston. Paul Revere
hall in the Mechanics building has been
set aside for Maine and will be fully oc-
cupied.
The central figure of the display will be
the typical Maine sporting camp of logs,
decorated with all the game birds and
animals of Maine. The Old Town Indians
will have a wigwam with basket and canoe
workers at work, but the great feature
will be the display of Aroostook products
E. L. Cleveland of Houlton, the ''po-
tato king" has agreed to prepare the po-
tato display from his great resources
Along with the exhibit will be shown the
machinery of all kinds with which the
Aroostook potato farmer plants and Sc
cures his tubers.
Through the aid of Hon. Thomas H.
Phair of Pressure Isle, the "starch King"
and Miss Crosby, a very attractive exhibit
OF that product is assured. The people
who are planning the Maine show declare
that it will make a hit through its original
ity, and are spending all their energies
toward that end.

murder on the schooner Olive Pecker as
brought ont in the exa mination of the pris-

steward, Swede by birth and naturaized
American citizen, killed Captain Whitman
and Mate Saunders, after which the crew

they were arrested.
The story of Andersen is that lie, as
well as the rest of the crew, was roughly
treated by the captain and the mate, and
their lives were threatened; that one day.
after having been stru ok violently by the
captain, he asked the mate for protec-
ton, and that his demand was repealed in
brutal language; that after this, in fear of
his life, he had carried revolver; and the
captain striking him again when called in
to the cabin, and in the act of hitting him
with bottle, he fred at him, killing him
instantly; that after this he rushed on
deck, and finding there the mate with a
marline- spike ready to strike him, he fired
three shots at him, the last one killing the
mate; that after this the crew came to-
gether, justified Andersen as acting in
self defence, and after consultation decid
