Immense FOrtifications.
Portland VIII be Well Protected In Case of Wal


Over four hundred men are now EN-.
ployed on the Notifications at Fort Preble
and the contractor is working day and
night crews in order to complete his con
tract within the specified time. In ac-
cordance with the regulations OF the Wal
Department, strangers are not allowed tC
visit the works and this rule is religously
lived up to. But passers by can see the
big mound of earth growing in size day
by day and by this form some idea OF the
magnitude of the work that is being done.
The work at Great Diamond island OF
the defences at that spot are also being
rushed onward at railroad speed and great
progress is being made. In event of a
foreign war Portland would not be SC
badly off in point of defense as are some
of the other cities on the Atlantic sea

The flame Lumber Industry.

From a recent article on the lumber in
dustry of Maine by Mr.. Samuel L. Board
man of Bangor. these interesting facts are
cleaned: The forest area of Maine is about
thirteen million five hundred and sixty
eight thousand acres, which is more than
two thirds of the entire forest area in New
England, and which would cover an ex-
tent seven times as large as the celebrated
Black Forest in Germany. Maine has the
largest percentage of forest Of any state in
the Union. A fraction Of more than one
in five of all the voters, numerically con-
sidered, are occupied in the production of
lumber and it's transportation. An aver
age of 10000 men find labor each winter
in the Maine forests. The State has
about l, 900 lakes, covering $500 square
miles at mean elevation Of 900 feet above
the sea.

Summer Explorers.

1t is worth while to keep track of the
summer explorers who have started out
to see strange sights or do difficult things
Allusion has already been made in the
Weekly to the preliminary Peary expedi-
ton and to the various parties which hope
to climb Mount St. Elias. Brief refer
ence has also been made to Prof. Sibley' S
Princeton expedition to New Mexico
which deserves further attention. In the
plains of Acoma, about - miles southwest
of Albuquerque, is rectangular rock
some 700 feet high and about 40 acres in
area on its upper surface. The story about
it is that 300 years ago a community of
Indians lived on it, cultivated corn lands
at its base, and assembled to their homes
at night by stone steps But it is related
that one day an earthquake shook down
part of the rock, including the stairs, and
left the table-land above inaccessible. The
villagers who were at work in the valley
were cut off from those on the rock The
latter presently starved to death, and what
was left of the former went two miles
away and founded, on another table rock
a new village, which still tlourishes. 1t is
believed that no one has been able to get
to the top of the old rock since disaster
overlook it centuries ago. Prof Sibley S
plan is to throw line over it by means of
tandem kites. and 50 get up. Ii he sue
ceeds, and his plan is thought to be feast
BILE enough, he may find very interesting
antiquities. At any rate he will be likely
to find out whether the story the Indians
tell about the abandoned village is true
The quest eNcites the imagination, and if
it succeeds it ought to make some fasci-
mating reading for the newspapers. Har-

Editorial Notes.

Tariff reform being now practically out
of the way the administration will next
give its attention to currency reform, and
will probably ask Congress to authorize
the appointment of currency commits
sion to consider the entire question and
recommend plan of action.
The anxiety of the Republicans to get
the talif bill upon the statute books is
the explanation of the fact that the anti
trust amendment was not inserted in that
measure. They saw that the discussion
of it would occupy much time, and for
that reason decided to push it as sepa-
rate measure and not delay the tariff bill
by complicating it with this proposition.

People who are impressed with the
complaints being made by foreign nations
with reference to our proposed new tariff
law will find some relief in the fact that
an examination of the statements shows
that they are misleading and selfish, not
TO say impairment, in many cases. An
example is found in the recent utterances
of Mr. Charles Liz Klett of the Argentine
natl Chamber of Commerce have attracted
so much attention. His statement that
the Argentine woods have always been adj
mitted free of duty until now is denied
by Treasury officials, while an exam
ination of the Treasury figures shows
that his assertions with reference to the
balance of trade between the United
States and Argentine are the direct OPP
posite of the truth. His statement re-
garding the tariff of his own country and
its treatment Of American products is
found to be also misleading and gives an
entirely erroneous impression Of the facts.
The new tariff will restore the duties
on Canadian and other foreign coal to
practically those of the Mckinley law.
A S soon as the Wilson law was enacted,
coal from Nova Scotia invaded the east
ern market, driving out the Virginia and
West Virginia product, which had to this
time supplied eastern cities, and COM
PEELED the mines of that section to find a
market elsewhere. The result was that
their coal went west instead of east as it
formerly had done and with reduced
railroad rates was laid down in the mar
kets of Cincinnati, Chicago and other
western cities as such low rates that
coal war followed by railroad rate

There is more catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be a constitutional dis
ease, and, therefore, requires
constitutional treatment. Halls
