In his message to the legislature
which assembled last week. Governor
Powers presents the various phases of
Names condition in plain. straight
forward manner. and adds to political
literature a valuable state paper.
Within the limits of an editorial the
merest outline OF the governors ad-
dress can be given.
OF necessity much space is devoted
to the part Maine played Il the
late war with Spain. The people will
not soon forget how Governor Powers.
III order 10 save the extraordinary ex-
peDse Of calling special session of
the legislature, advanced large
sums from his private means to meet
a situation that called for prompt and
resolute action.
The war disclosed the fact that the
present laws relating to the national
guard do not meet exigencies likely
at any time 10 arise, and he strongly
recommends several important
somewhat disorganized regiments,
the governor recommends. as both
effective and economical. a single
regiment, with every company full TO
the standard Of the United States re-
qu!rements.
What national guards the State
OF Maine may have n the future" be
says, should Be composed Of COM
panIes OF not less than the same
number Of physically sound men that
the United States regular army re-
quiremeuts specify. They should be
armed with modern guns, thoroughly
equipped and drilled. and ready to
take the field al any time upon short
notice, and when any call by the gen
eral government has exceeded their
numbers. and more soldiers are
nEded, there will be no lack OF eager
volunteers"
Another i'm portant recommendation
e that OF the establishment of a State
auditor. Bills against the State are
now audited by a committee Of the
council The governor thinks the
work could De done By departmental
officer at less expense than under the
present system. and with equal eff
cheney.
a revision OF the statutes is recon-
mended. The last revision was in
1888
The governor is emphatic in his
suggestion that the Eastern Maine in
sane hospital at Bangor be pushed to
completion with all possible speed.

With prospects OF the government
coaiing station on Frenchmans bay,
brig hit speculation Is rife as to the loca-
tion which will be selected. Stave island,
lying off Winter Hsrbor is mentioned
among other possible locations. II Is a
large island with deep water approsche
and contains some fine level land. Bald
Porcupine has been suggested as one in
favor with Admiral Beiknap, and Sheep
P0rcupine was also visited. The govern
ment has spent some 800 for break
water from Bald Porcupine to the
mainland, and anot her -. 600 was allow ed
for its extension in the river and harbor
estimates this year. Hancock Point or
the Mt. Desert Ferry is also discussed,
the argument being used that rail
facilities would cut quite Il lure in the
selection of the site.
