A case of close "dggering" came to the
"Gossiper's" attention the other day. An
Ellsworth man who will never be hung
for his liberality dropped into the public
telephone office and asked how much 1t
would cost to send q message by long dis
lance wire to Portland. The information
was given him. He thought q moment,
hemmed and hawed anoth her moment, and
then said: "Well, I've got to send this
message, but II you don't mind, think
I'll use the short distance wire. Twill be
q little cheaper. suppose"
Our Stonington correspondent 10 agitat-
ing the question Of clam-shell roads.
Where shells are available In sufficient
quantities, as in the vicinity OF = clam
canning factory, the shell roads would be
practicable. Their adaptability for road
making has already been demonstrated.
The gossiper remembers q short stretch OF
| ciam-shell road In the vicinity OF Ocean
vile, In the town OF Stoningtou. 1t was
q pleasure to ride over 1t. The roads are
said to be dry In the muddiest of weather,
| and our correspondent points out another
feature which is worthy of consideration
the light color OF the shell road makes
1t safer driving at night, as the road can be
seen long distance ahead.
And now Bucksport seems In fair way
to experience a ship building revival.
Mckay & Dix, New York ship brokers,
have secured a refusal OF the ship-yard
owned by William Beazley, OF Bucksport,
and are making plans to build several ves-
sells there during the next few years.
This is the same concern which recently
leased a yard at Machias, and which Is
now finishing a vessel there, whose keel
had been laid when they took possession
of the yard. Within a day or two rep
resentative OF the firm has been at Bucks
port and looked the Beszley yard over,
and was SO favorably impressed with it
that he secured refusal Of the yard for a
lease for a term of years. 1t is under
stood that the New York firm intends TO
build four masted schooner there this
| year, and also a smaller vessel.

SINGLE TAX

The inquiry is often made whether
land values, or in other words, the an
nual rental value of land, if taken
for public uses would be sufficient to
meet the requirements of the COM
munity.
Any man who looks about will see
in his own neighborhocd a large
amount Of idle land; and he will see
vacant lots and COED building sites
unoccupied in towns and cities, while
in the country he can find millions of
acres of coal land, oil land, mineral
land. timber lard, agricultural land
lying idle, and at the same time men
and capital are also idle.
Now, if the rental value o. land,
which is in every case a value pro-
duced by the community as a whole
wee taken for public purposes, the
result would be to lift the burden OF
taxation from off labor and labor pro-
ducts, and also to force idle lands Of
all kinds into use; for land sners,
especially in large cities, would not
long hold land unused when it
brought them NO returns.
Thus would labor be fully employ
ed and justly remunerated. The
equity and practical utility of such a
revenue system are readily seen by
unprejudiced minds Ralph Hoyt in
Seattle Herald.

TRUSTS THREAT

1t has leaked OFT from high Repub-
lican sources that the trusts propose
to introduce "a master-stroke' into
the Preside ntial campaign. Along in
October they propose to give out the
scare that they are afraid of Demo
cratic success, which will undoubt-
eddy be fact. They will then shut
down their plants in every doubtful
States. thus throwing several hun
dred thousand workingmen out Of
employment. This deed will be &C
companied by the statement that if
Mckinley wins they will start up
again, but that if he does no. they
will remain closed down indefinitely.
This revolutionary and dangerous
project should be given timely co1-
sideration With the enormous pow
er which the trusts posse to over
produce and control TIE market they
can easily arrange for llls spectacu-
lar performance. But with the coun-
try warned in time a decidedly differ
en-. effect NAV be the outcome from
what these conspira,o1s may be plan
ming, The temper Of the country will
not endure very much cooperation
manipulation on election day. 1t will
be too fine an object lesson to the
masses Of the disposition of the cor
poration and trusts to run the country
in their own interests at the expense
Of the lives and happiness of the
masses.

American Athletes in Paris Win More
Events

Paris, July 16.-Twenty-one champion
ship contests in connection with the ex-
position have been decided during the
last three days and America can boast of
winning sixteen and of securing thirteen
seconds and twelve-thirds.
Nine events took place today in which
the Americans placed six flrsts, six Sec
onds and seven thirds to their credit.
They captured the 200 metres hurdle race,
the standing high jump, the three stand
ing jumps, the long jump, the hop, step
and jump, the hammer throwing and the
standing long jump; and they did it east
ly. In fact the facility with which the
American athletes carried off prizes final
ly grew mOnotOnOus.
Three events were won by foreigners
One, the tug of war, was not contested
for by the Americans. In the SEQ metres
flat race which was won by an Engli sh-
man, Tysoe, the Americans took second
and third places. In the remaining race,
the four thousand metres steeplechase
they failed to get place, Englishmen
taking all three.

THREW ROCK At TRAIN.

Biddeford, July 16. "A tramp who
gave his name as George White was ar
rested in Wells Saturday afternoon by
Deputy Sheriff Rankin for throwing
rocks at the trains on the Boston &
Maine.
Saturday afternoon the passenger
train that leaves Biddeford at 1.02 was
running along at high speed about a
mile west of the station at Wells when a
tramp was passed. As the train went
by him the tramp picked up a large rock
weighing about three pounds and hurled
it al one of the cars. The rock crashed
through one Of the windows with terrific
force and struck a lady, Miss Annie
Lewis of Waltham, Mass, on the head,
inficting bad scalp wound, the effects
of which nearly caused Inconsistencies.
AS soon as the train reached North
Berwick, however. the conductor tele-
graphed back to the station at Wells and
the operator there notified Sheriff Ran
kin of the affair.
The sheriff had no difficulty in arrest
ing his man and he was taken back to
Wells.

that in view Of the small standing army
Of thu United States this ten thousand
men represented more than the United
States pro rata share of the international
force which is to operate against Pekin.
The situation has changed so rapidly
from day to day as to alter the estimate OF
the foreign commanders several times. 1t
is possible that the estimate OF troops
needed for Chinese service Will be again
Increased. If so the United States will re-
spond We might possibly gather between
three and four thousand additional
troops. This, however, would be the
limit unless the war department disre-
garded a recommendation of General Nc
Arthur and drew still further on the
available troops in the Philippines.
General Miles was called upon by Score
tary Root during the afternoon to counsel
with him as to the projected troop move
ments. He favOrs the prompt despatch of
q large force to China.
A good deal OF annoyance has been
caused here by the complete misunder
standing that has been conveyed to the
Europeans as to the attitude OF the
United States government regarding the
settlement of the Chinese troubles. This
government, it can be stated authoritative
1y, never has thought of compromising for
money or any other form Of indemnity
The government VIII insist on justice

THE DRUMMER HAS ARRIVED
(From the Hawaiian STAR

Honolulu is beginning to be invaded
by the American drummer as it has never
been before. The first to arrive I'M
der the new conditions was Chicago
soap and perfume man, who gave the
Hawaiian hotel clerk quite shock. He
landed from the steamer in all the glory
that characterizes an up-to-date travelling
man and headed for the hostelry. Ar
irving there, one of his first re-
quests was to be shown the ''sample
room" But there wasn't any. Homo
lulu has never achieved the distinction Of
having one. In American cities the big
hotels have to have a sample room, where
the drummers may keep their big stock
OF samples, but while Hawaii had tax
OF $4,000 on every one who tried to sell
goods here no sample room was needed.
Firms that wanted to give their men So, OOO
as starter to buy the privilege of doing
Hawaiian business were not very numer-
Gus. Manager Lucas fixed up quarters to
be used for sample room for the soap
man, and he is now casting about for a.
place that can be permanently devoted to
the purpose.

Z MILES CoNFERs WITH ROOT.

Washington July 16.-General Miles
had a long conference this afternoon with
the secretary of war concerning the dis
patches of re1nfOrcements to China, 1t is
understood that General Miles very
strongly urged that the troops be imme-
diately Withdrawn from the Philippines
so that large army could be thrown into
China within comparatively few days.
The troops in the Philippines could make
the trip across to China in about a week,
while the despatch of troops from this
country will take considerably more than
q month and the men can hardly be on
the field until September. Notwithstand-
ing General Miles recommendation, the
apparent policy is to forward the troops
to China from this country and Cuba as
fast as they can be assembled.
General Miles has recommended that
Major General Bates who commanded a
brigade with credit in Cuba, be placed in
command. He is now in the Philippines.
The disposition is toward sending an Off
Ger from this country. General Miles is
frequently referred to as likely to assume
command of the American forces in the
Orient himself.
TROOPS WILL ARRIVE LATE.
Washington, July 16.-The quarter
master S department. is making every eff
fort to provide adequate transportation
for the Chinese contingent. 1t has four
hundred mules en- route to Seattle. Two
complete pack trains OF one hundred
mules each already have been started for
Nagasaki. The United States is the only
power there represented which makes use
of pack trains A high official Of the de-
partlnent said today that with the fleet of
transports now available it would not be
possible to land the last Of the ten thou
sand troops in question at Nagasak1 be-
fore the last of September or the first
week in October.

PORTLAND MEN THERE.
Three Omcers Who are with Fighting
Force Ia Tfen Tsin.

At Tien Tsin there are three men who
are well known in Portland who have
undoubtedly been participating in the
fighting which has been in progress
there during tho past few days. So far
none of these men have been reported as
being wounded. First Lieutenant Viii
liam II. Clifford of + Co., 1st Battalion
of Marines, went TO lien Tsin in COM
mand of his company from the Cavite
station. The marines have been reported
to be in the thick OF it and have been
making a fine record for this valuable
branch of the service. Another Portland
man is Frank Lang, a second lieutenant
in the 9Th Infantry the colonel of which
and several officers have been reported rs
being killed or woun ded. Another
officer with the 9th, who has many
friends here is Capt. Mark Hersey, for a
long time military instructor at the
University of Maine.
