Hen. ]. Manchester Haynes will at

on Western avenue restored to it's con-
dition before the fire. since when, moth
ing has been done in the way of repair
with the exception of replacing the roof
which. of course, was necessary to keep
the house in preservation. The fire, il

taking away as it did the roof with
comparatively little destruction Of the
interior This had it's reason in the fact
that the fire started in the cellar and
was there thought to have been wholly

have made it's way through the walls

of the roof. On the completion of the
repairs, Mr.. Haynes says he may take
up his residence at the mansion, but

A BIG THING
Would Be a Railroad from
Augusta to Harrington.
One Plan Regarding Route and the
Resultant Advantages.
The Matter Accusing Much Interest All
Along the Line.
A BIG THING

The railroad falkland talk it, thus
far, has been confined to-cdncerning n
narrow guage line to connect Augusta
with Pennington, is, to say the least
interesting.
The contemplation of such a road
suggests in mild way millennium fol-
the towns which it would, according to
the present plans, pass through, and
doubly SO, to the termini
A birds eye view, so to speak, of such
road presents many features that are
decidedly pertinent to the welfare and
rather secondarily, the convenience OF
the people all through the section
where it has been suggested to cover.
The physical condition of the country
is understood to be really most favor
able to such a road. The other end at
Pennington would be, it is said, only
400 feet above the Augusta end. That
is, the level of the Sandy river at
Pennington is only that much higher
than the Kennebec level. A passage
through the intervening country could
be made through valley to Winthrop,
making its exit from Augusta just
south of the State House on the north
CT Niger hill. From Winthrop it would
take course avoiding elevated lands
| I ,rlnripSv no cl,aiy, Of al ,x-l,i
tend through the country toward
Vienna. In this way it would open up
a system of the most charming inland
resorts in Maine, where the fishing is
first class and steadily improving un-
der the regulations that are in force
for the protection against unsports-
manlike taking of fish.
Such passenger traffic as would re-
suit from the class of pleasure seekers
would, of course, be in the summer and
would be in connection with the line of
boats now running to Boston. Cobbos-
seecontee and Maranacook would thus
become in closer touch with the sum-
mer travel.
The freight business would be largely
of summer transportation. The fer
tile farm lands of the country, included
by the towns which the talked of road
would pass Observation-Disclosures Win
throp, Readfield, Wayne, Fayette,
Mount Vernon, Vienna and New Shar-
on-would receive an outlet which
would encourage their development on
account of the ready and prompt ship
ments thus made possible, and, also Il
large shipment would be the lum-
Der which is now cut and which would
doubtless be- cut in larger quantities.
For this industry there are through
that section great sources of water
power.
The increase of trade and incidental
advantages would be something posi-
lively beyond estimate. The plan ac-
cordingly is decidedly interesting.

A BUSY WEEK.
Inland Fish and Game Com.
missioners' Programme.
Mostly on Hearings to Close Certain
Tributaries to Lakes.
Commissioners Do Not Close These MOI Irih.
utary 10 Stocked Waters.

The fish commissioners have a week
of hearings coming along which will
keep them very busy. mostly on the all
important matter of closing tributarie;
to fishing. The commissioners have
uniformly refused to put close time on
streams that are not tributaries to
lakes and ponds that are being stocked
with trout or land-locked salmon by
the State.
The commissioners will have hear
ing at Eustis Monday night, on a petit
ton to close certain waters; on Tues
day at 1880 A. NJ, at Rangeley, on q
hearing for an application for a fish
way and also one to prevent the de-
struotion of spawning beds for trou:
and salmon by the emptying of saw
dust into stream. AT this hearing
will also be heard the cases OF applica-
ton for licenses from Messrs. Matthew
son and Snowman. the two guides
whose licenses were withheld by the
commissioners for certain reasons. The
guides have received notice to present
themselves at the meeting to state their
case.
A hearing will be held at the upper
dam on Wednesday morning, on petit
tion to close Rapid river; in the evening
at South Andover TO close certain wa
tiers: on Thursday morning at Standisn,
en- petitions to close certain tributaries
of Sebago lake. The commissioners
have other petitions for hearings NOT
yet set. for close time on tributaries to
Weld pond; also from Brownville, APP
pleton, Wilton. Turner Smithfield and
Old Town.
Many applications for trout and land
locked salmon stock have been received
by the commissioners in the regular
form, from various parts of the State.
No action can be taken on them until
the fall, when the amount to be at the
disposal of the commissioners is deter
mined. Then the allotments are made.

The town of NOblehOro was settled at
about the same date as DamariscOtta.
1740. I.'s area is about 10000 acres, and
it's territory was once favorite resort OF
the Indians for hunting and fishing. They
held possession with great tenacity. some
of them remaining long after the white
men, whose advance they vainly resisted,
had made their settlements in the town.
After danger from the Indians was past.
the inhabitants were involved for many
years in a harassing controversy with a
more savage and relentless foe, the land
lords. in regard to the title to their lands,
which was not settled until 1914. Rev.
Adoniram Judson, father of the noted
missionary of the same name, was set
tied over the First Baptist church in No

THE ORIGINAL COLD BUG.

Andrew Jackson the patron saint of the democracy, put the United States upon a gold basis in 1884, by having the ratio of coinage changed from "15.5S to r to ''16 to l." With the difference of only .42 of one per cent gold went out of the country when the coinage ratio was 'l5.5S to ]. and the country was on a silver basis. but when changed to 'l6 to I" the silver went out of the country. In 1853 the coinage of silver dollars ceased aud the amount ofsilver in the subsidiary coins was reduced which was done to keep the silver in the country for change. In 1873 what had already been accomplished twenty years earlier was irreyocably con- pleted by dropping the silver dollar from the authorized list of coins. It has since been restored to coinage, but for government account solely.

This is what the tarih has done:
 The manufacturing lumbermen Of
 western Washington have decided
 that inasmuch as the dealers in yellow
 pine have advanced prices in the east
 ern market, the schedule will have tO
 ga up there to correspond Common
 lumber is therefore advanced Sl per
 thousand. ship laps sl, flooring S2,
 stock boards S2, clear finishing S6. stepping g., ceiling S2, lath % cents. g
 Just so. Lumber Is advancing all along the line. Everybody who builds house, barn or pig-pen will pay the tax. The lumbermen enjoy the "usufruct.' but their employees will have to struggle along at the same old wages. Oh, this tariff is a great scheme-for the milliouaries. Vi dette.
 or course everything is advancing along the line. That was what was promised when the Republican party promised a return of prosperity. And even admitting that wages have not advanced the laboring man is in bet ter condition for the reason that he now has regular work at full time, and even on overtime, and has more money each month with which to buy what he wants. No matter how cheap goods may be they are dear to a man who has no job or is working on half time. No matter how high are prices the worker doesn't feel it if he has a steady job, working on full time or putting in over time. He has money to buy what he wants.
 The United States tried four years of cheapness under Grover Cleveland. The people were good and tired of it, and they have now adopted the con- trary plan of keeping everybody who wants work busy on full time, know ing full we'll that the workers will l then be able to meet the higher prices without which prosperity | would be an empty dream. In the 'our years of democratic policy thou 'ands of concerns ran without profit md on half time simply to keep their gorkmen and their families from Under the republican policy those concerns are all running ,n full time or overtime; and their Torkmen without any advance in laily or weekly stipend, have twice or Yhree times the money with which to ouy Under such conditions they gladly and willingly pay higher prices or what they consume, and the Of the free trade press, as above, is completely vast d.
