VILLAGE BUILT BY PiLFeRiNc.
Stolen Lumber Composes Eddingto0
Bend. Maine.

Eddington Bend an Incorporated
settlement in the town OF Eddington.
three miles above Bangor. on the Pc
nobscot River. bears a remarkable dis
tinction in this vicinity: river men
say that 1t was built wholly OF stolen
lumber.
Above Bangor the river makes Il
generous bend: above the bend there
have stood Cor moro than fifty years
big mills in which logs from the Maine
forests have been sawed into lumber
and RATED below TO the city for ship
ment to the South or for home CON
sumption Besides filling up the bed
OF the river with sawdust. these mills
have. from year TO year. sent down a
good many stray boards. which. de-
tached from the RATS by the swift
current. have been borne into the ed
dy in the bend and lodged there.
The FIRST mills in this locality were
established before 1910. Early in l>4S
the land about the bend was wholly
uncultivated and Unbiased. In the
summer saving the river men. going
up and down. saw q single individual
f at work upon the bank. and before
the snow blew down the valley there
had grown mp on the river shore
comfortable shanty built wholly OF
fine new boards. The mill men
laughed AT The enterprise OF the new
conner. they enjoyed the way in which
ne picked up their stray stock and
made IL into house
But the cnterprising settler was not
alone long The rafters mad carried
his fame. The story set other poor
but active men that way. and In two
years the bend contained six hutS. all
built from The lumber cleaned from
the eddy in the river.
Since then the mill owners have
seen the half-dozen huts replaced by
r more than n core OF well-built dwell

suddenly stopped. An examination ~
the screw propeller showed that big
fish had been caught in the aperture
in which the propeller worked. The
creature stuck out al each side az least
twenty-five feet in length. Captain
Gardener states that IL dashed its tail
tremendously. dash!ng the spray IN All
directions. so that ali attempts TO get
a rope around IL proved abortiVe. An
ATTEMPT was made TO cut the creature
in two with a sherpened spade affixed
10 the end OF a spar but owing 10 the
rolling OF the vessel this also failed.
Al length the captain ordered the engi-
neer 10 set the propeller going slowly

Indians with Blue EYES.

One of the mysteries OF Mexico is
presented by the Maya Indians. who
inhabit the Sierra Madre Mountains in
the lower part OF Sonora. They have
fair skins. blue eyes and light hair.
and students in ethnology have always
been puzzled to account for them
There is a tradition. however. that
these Indians are the descendants OF
the crew and passengers OF Swedish
vessel wrecked on the Mexican coast
centuries before Columbus discovered
the New World. But this tradition is
founded on nothing more substantial
than a folklore tale. current among
them that their ancestors came over
the big salt water hundreds OF moons
ago.
The Mexicans have never been able
TO conquer this people. Nominally. in
deed they are under Mexican rule. but
really they are governed by their own
chief. and whenever the Mexican Gov
eminent has interfered with them they
! have taken up arms. getting the besi
OF the scrimmage every time Then
nearest Indian neighbors are the va
| ou.s. and these two warlike tribes
have reciprocity down TO fIe point
Each helps the other when the Mexi
cans attack them.
