One of the events of Indian Island,
last week, was the visit of Lawrence
M. Chamberlain of Cambridge, Mass.
secretary of the Lawrence Scientific
School of Harvard University. Mr..
Chamberlain has for long time mani
tested an interest in the Penobscot
tribe, and through his efforts Big
Thunder" Frank Loring, who is the
nestor of the tribe, went to Cambridge
with what relics of the former power
and prowess of the tribe are existing,
and to gentlemen interested in such
matters he told the story of the tribe
as he knew it. This week Mr.. Cham
berlain came to Old Town and was
escorted to the island by prominent
members of the tribe where he de-
livered an address upon their history.
There was a large attendance of the
members Of the tribe, who undoubtedly
heard many new things about their an
cestry. Mr.. Chamberlain has spent
much time for the last Is years in the
study of the matter, and states that
this tribe as well as all the tribes of the
East-the Wambanaki, came from the
Ojibways of the West, who settled near
the Adirondacks and were driven from
there by the Iroquois. Mr. Chamber
lain is also much interested that the
Penobscot tribe should have a library
of their own, and has already given to
the tribe about 800 volumes, which are
in the safe keeping of the agent, ex-
Mayor G. H. Hunt. 1t is the intention
of Mr.. Chamberlain to donate to the
tribe the coming spring some material
aid so that library building can be
built upon the island. More books will
be donated and free library started.
Many of the members of the tribe are
interested in this move and will glad
ly aid it what they can.

edged he was at fault by giving the
signals before the whistle was blown
some Of the Cony men were very Wig
orous in their insults to the referee and
the umpire. Some apologized later for
their excitable conduct, and admitted
they were in the wrong.
Griffith advanced the ball to Hallo-
wells five-yard line, where time was
called for the first half.
In the second half, r. Anderson took
o. Anderson's place at full back. and
Grimes succeeded Carey on the Hal
lowell team. Anderson made a fonl
kick and was given another trial. Wall
advanced the ball to the middle of the
field. Then by hard work Cony got
the ball into Hallowells territory to
her 3O-yard line. where it was lost on
downs. Farrand went in as Scribnel
again injured his knee. Gross went te
half back, Taggart to right end and
Farrand to right tackle.
With nine yards to gain in the third
down, Anderson punted to Cony's 45-
yard line. Here there was a grea,
stuggle. Cony lost the ball on downs
and then Hallowell lost it for the same
reason. Griffith and Porquette advan-
ced the ball slowly but fast enough
to retain it, all the plays being in the
line. Hallowell was given 10 yards fo1
holding. Griffith went through their
line for so yards and a touchdown, on a
run that was beautiful one. He miss
ed the goal. Score % to 0, and only one
minute more to play.
Anderson kicked to the Cony 1O-yard
line. Taggart advanced it to the center
of the field. Griffith made 10 yards.
