r. Walker McKeen. secretary of the
State board Of agriculture said, yester-
day, that the berry crop will be very
heavy this year. The drought has acted
in a very favorable manner for the Der
ries. The drought is confined to the
southwestern section of the State.
While in the northeastern part, the berry
region. there is not the slightest trouble.
The result is that berries will be lower
in price. this year. than ever.
Concerning the drought in general Mr..
McKecn said that while as yet the hay
is the only crop to be affected, yet he is
fearful that if the drought continues a
week or two longer even the corn and
potatoes will suffer. As it is now nothing
save heavy fall of rain of two or three
days duration will turn aside the i'm
pending damage.

porticO is being erected at the main
entrance to the State House. During the
winter a temporary structure is put in
place that none of the heat may be lost.
The new structure will be similar in ar
Il permanent fixture. 1t is of quartered
oak, artistically pannelled and presents a
very attractive appearance. The doors
are to correspond and will have heavy
beveled plate glass. The new arrange
ment is made necessary by the change
in the double seal windows. The whole
is very attractive and those
who have seen the design compliment
Col. +. c. Stevens very highly for the
work that is being done.

Several of the towns in the State will
go without the full amount of school
fund which, but for their own careless
ness, they are entitled to receive from
the State. The educational bureau a
short time ago sent out blanks for max
ing the fiscal returns of the various
towns. While many of the towns have
filled in the blanks and returned them be-
fore the time limit of July /, yet there
are other towns that have been negli-
gent and have not made the returns.
They will, therefore, lose ten per cent
of the amount to which they would have
been entitled had they sent in the blanks
properly iiled out, at the required time.

There is every indication that the next
Maine House will be the strongest that
has held down the seats in the lower
branch of the State government for a
good many years. The nominations are
beginning to come in good shape and al
most every nomination filed shows men
of strength. Hon. Waldo s. Pettingill
filed his nomination papers, Tuesday, and
yesterday, the papers of Fred s. Wells.
the Republican nominee for representa-
tive from Vinalhaven, We're filed. They
are but samples of the men of strength
who will be in the next House Among
the others who have already filed nomi-
nation papers and who are looked on as
among the leaders in the next House are
Hon. F. 0. Beal, Bangor; and Fred V.
Chase of Portland.
There is one plantation in the State
where the people are not averse to paw
ing taxes. That is on the island of Mon
hogan. In the year book and on the re-
turns made to the State assessors the
place is called a plantation. 1t is not a
plantation, neither is it a city or a town.
TO use the expression of one State off
cial. lit is nothing"
is not so large that it might be bought
out bv many men in this city who would
not feel that they were without funds
after the purchase is made. There is
but one horse on the island and he is
valued at about $40. This horse with the
~ cows make up the whole of the live
stock a few years ago there was not n
single cow. There are but two musical
instruments that are taxable. The pop
ulation is only about $50 people and of
these 20 are poll taxpayers. \ few years
ago there were some sheep in the island
These were allowed to run at large both
winter and summer. The S. Z. C. A.
made objections to this manner of keep
ing sheep. The owner at once took
means to dispose of his sheep Since then
the live stock is limited to those that
have been mentioned.
The tax-rate is but u mills. And with
will be seen what a small tax the town
pays to the State. There is no necessity
for the town to pay this tax but the res
idents who have appeared before the
State officials say that they prefer pay
ing the tax as they get more from the
State, in the way of school money and
other privileges than they would get if
the tax We're not paid. 1t is one of the
few remarkable cases in the State, and
although it is rapidly becoming a sum
mer resort, few of the summer people
there realize that it is in one way such a
unique community.

From the fredericksburg Free Lance
which Is independent in politics and il
the best known paper In its district, we
take the following extremely interesting
editorial paragraph
whether there is covert purpose
TO knife the convention or not the
fact remains that throughout the First
Congressional District the Democratic
leaders are doing practically nothing in
ia behalf, and it Is suspected in some
quarters that the word has gone forth to
sheir followers to 60 O. fishing on the
Gath. From our observation the fate of
the measure is sealed, so far as this dis
trict Is concerned. "
These and similar facts will not be
forgotten by the people Of the State if
the convention issue is defeated on the
gath. There are other districts than the
first In which tie Democratic leaders
have been significantly indolent = Nor.
