In 1925 the Gila Valley, Globe and North

Washington the franchise for a road
through the reservation, subject to the ap-

is to run from Geronimo to Globe, dis

railroad was an important fsotor, am
reminded of other facts In which filled an
important part in early railroad history
which seem worthy of record for reference

Take the date of 1886 when Maine was
only sixteen years old as state, seven
years after the first locomotive wheels
turned on rails in America, eleven years
from Stephenson'a wonderful trip over
the Stockton and Darlington railroad in
England with the first passengers ever
drawn by a locomotive in the world, with
less than. thirteen hundred miles of rail-
road in the United States and eight years
before the first telegraph message flashed
over the wire in this country from Wash

within her borders a completed railroad
ready for traffic in passengers and freight.

PROBABLY DONE BY BOYS.
Two Cases of Petty burglary on Custom
House Wharf.

Two places of business on Custom
House wharf were burglarized Sunday
night. Lewis McDonald's lobster house
was entered ty the prying onen of rear
window. The burglars evidently worked
for some time trying to force open the
cash drawer, and finally accomplished
their purpose by means Of an ice-pick.
They got So. II for their work.
At Dill and Browns confectionery and
fruit store entrance was gained by re-
moving panel from the rear door. The
only thing missing from there was a
small quantity of cherries. The thieves
did not get the cash drawer open and it
is suspected that they became frightened
in the midst of their job and made a
hasty retreat.
1t is believed that the two breaks were
made by boys. and that they used a boat
in gaining access to the wharf, elm bling
up in the rear of the buildings to avoid
discovery.

NEW BANKRUPTCY LAW
To Be Administered in Maine by Judge
Webb and Appointees.

Judges of probate throughout Maine
and the other states, and many other
officials and attorneys who are interested
particularly in bankruptcy proceedings,
are not looking with great favor on the
passage of the bankruptcy bill, which
taken away from the county courts their
insolvency function and thus reduces
markedly the revenues of the offices
named.
BY the new law, bankruptcy proceed
ings are to be under the direction Of the
district courts of the states. Thus, in
Maine, Judge Webb of Portland will look
after the business of the state. He will
appoint referee in as many places as the
work requires. The referee is the admin
istrative officer in bankruptcy, and will
act as the judges of probate now do.
Probably most of the probate judges will
receive the appointments as referees,
though this lies wholly with the district
court.
No person already holding office of the
federal government, or within the third
degree of consequently to the district
judge, can hold the office.
The referee will hear all cases, receive
petitions, fix dividends and generally at
tend to the duties now borne by the
judges of probate.
The fee of the referee will be $40 for
every case, with system Of percentages
in certain seoifled cases.
Besides the referee. who will be regu-
lar seated official holding Office for two
years the court will name trustees for all
cases, this officer corresponding to the as
signee now seen in the county courbs.
The trustee will handle the funds, will
perform generally the work of the as
signee, and will receive fee of S. with
some percentages
This system, while it produces uni
formity amongst the states and greatly
lessons the cost Of bankruptcy proceed
ings, will reduce the value Of the office OF
probate judge in all the counties Of the
states.
Probably the Maine judges will ask for
a new salary from the next legislature.
Some Of them are saying that their pro-
bate business will pay SO little that they
cam OF afford to hold to the offices.
Thus, the federal bankruptcy law may
produce some interesting features at the
next legislative session in Maine.
Judge Webb's appointments will be
awaited with some interest.

WEsTRRooK MANUFACTURING co
Foreclosure of the First Mortgage Bonds
Iatured Yesterday.

The foreclosure of the first mortgage
bonds of the Westbrook Manufacturing
company took place yesterday, and the
right of redemption of the stockholders
and the holders of the second mortgage
bonds expired. The trustees Of the first
mortgage bondholders are Mr.. Byron D.
Verrill, MIR. franklin r. Barrett and
Mr. Arthur X. Hunt. In the name of
the bondholders they have taken possession
of the property and its title passes to
them as trustees.
This property, situated on the Presump-
scot river at Westbrook, has been an I'M
fortunate business venture. Two years
ago the company defaulted its interest
and year later the bond holders began
proceedings to foreolose. The termination
of those proceedings today wipes out the
value of $500, coo worth of common stock,
sl52, 600 worth of preferred stock and
500, 900 worth of second mortgage bonds.
The bonds issued under the first mortgage
amounts to 100000.
The problem in which the public is in
terested is as to what will be done with
the plant, now that it has gone into new
hands Some time ago offers were made
for the machinery by manufacturers in
the South, but owing to the fact that the
right of redemption by stock and second
mortgage holders had not expired, it was
impossible to reach an agreement, and
the sale wss not accomplished. 1t is very
much to be hoped that some conclusion
will be reached by which the mills will
be operated again.
