A Valuable Old Certificate.

document, valuable on account OF
its antiquity, has been presented 10
Cantain Charles A. Nash for the Ken
nebec Historical Society, by Francis
skinner of Waterville, one OF the
brightest newspaper men the state
has produced in recent years. Inc
document is a parchment certllcate Oh
the membership of DR.. Calvin Gorham
in the Maine Historical Society. one
peculiar thing about the certificate is
that it was presented to Calvin Cor
ham of Lewiston, in the county Of
Lincoln. it being given at the time
when Lincoln was one of the three
counties in the State and then occu-
pied a prominent position. 1t was
dated. October, 1921. The inscriptions
are wholly in Latin and they were put
in with a pen but in an ordinary hand,
M attempt being made to copy the
lattarinr in which the remainder of the
document is done. The certificate was
signed bv DR.. A. Mann as president,
and Benjamin Bartlett as secretary.
The engraving is very elaborate ana
contains. among other things, copy
of the State seal. In this the moose
was living with his head toward the
left instead of the right as is shown
on the seals of recent years. The
narchment will be placed in the collec-
ton Of the society.

AUGUSTA LOCALS.
ELECTRIC ROAD TO FOCUS.
Gardiner Hears Rumor thai One May Be Bull
from Augusta.

The Gardiner Reporter-Journal, last
night, published the following:
There are we'll founded rumors in
circulation that Amos Gerald of Fair
field, and Hon. George e. Macomber
of Augusta, are to build an electric
railroad from Augusta to Togus this
summer. This means a great deal T.
Gardiner, and that we will do all we
possibly can to oppose it goes without
saying, for we need the patronage OF
the veterans to keep our stores alive,
and also we need the other business
connected with the Home.
The surveyors are now at work on
the east side of the Kennebec, laying
out a route for the road from Augusta
to the Home. Then at the power sta
ton of the Augusta, Hallowell & Car
diner Railroad in Hallowell masons
and machinistS are at work, making
alterations for the placing of a new
boiler, new generator, and fixing boil
crs in the power station. Mr.. Macom-
Der is one of the principal owners in
the A. H. & G.. road and this move
is significant. for the old power station
furnished enough power for the old
road.
There is not enough business in the
summer even, for the two roads to be
very paying pieces of property, and
the people of Gardiner feel that they
would prefer the Kennebec road to re-
main. OF course the people will travel
by whichever road will carry them the
cheapest. and if the new road is built
there win be war between them.
:
offered all the freight business as a
special inducement for the Kennebec
Central to build. and it is not likely
that they will 90 back on their agree
ment. so the only way the roads will
conflict will be in the passenger bust
ness.
Now tt build the new road will have
to obtain possession to enter the
grounds of the Home by the board of
managers. and it is here that the fight
will be made by the Kennebec Central.
and the road will be defeated here is
possible. If they are refused permits
sion to enter the grounds the road
would not be much good for the vet
GRAMS and visitors would not care to
walk to the outskirts of the grounds to
take the cars, even in pleasant
weather.
The veterans on pension payment
spend thousands of dollars in the city
among the different stores, and their
trade is worth many, many dollars in
the course of a year to Gardiner, and
the Home brings enormous crowds of
visitors, who all spend money more or
less in the city. The only way now
to reach the Home is by way of the
Kennebec Central from this city, and
all should unite in making this the
only way to reach the Home except by
team.

CATERPILLARS COMING.
End OF the Week will See Thousands Of Cater
pillar Eggs Hatched.

Even those who used the utmost care in
Kidding their shade trees of the caterpil-
lar pest are again beginning to find signs
of the nests. And the eggs in the nests
are at that stage where they are about to
release the thousands of Catcrpillars that
have been Matching during the spring.
While speaking Of the matter. yestcr
day morning, one Of the professional men
in the city, who takes a great deal Of
pride in the care of his grounds said that
he had taken the utmost care last fall to
prevent the reappearance of the catcrpil-
lars, this year. On looking over his trees
he found in spite of his precautions Of
last year a great many nests on the
branches. On breaking open the nests he
learned that the eggs were just about to
release the caterpllars. Some Of the cat
crpillars had appeared ana many of the
nests instead Of containing clusters Of
thousands of small eggs contained thou
sands of minute caterpillars. Some were
sufficiently developed to begin to move as
soon as the nest was opened and on the
shells being broken the bit of sQuirming
life began to spin its thread and at once
made its escape to the ground by the
thread it had spun, not dropping as many

Many Of the people in the city had TAX
en- the greatest pains. last year, to re-
move all eggs but on account Of the thick
foliage at that time many Of the nests
could not be seen and thus many were
allowed to remain. Now that the leaves
have not begun to appear, the nests can
easily be seen and removed with lit
tie care.
1t is predicted that by the latter part
of the week the eggs will all be Matched
out and unless something is done to pre-
vent a temperance OF the pest the trees
will again be in danger Of suffering from
the caterpllars.
One man, while speaking of the reap
pearance of the pest, brushed off small
