goes through the steaming process.
The backwoods manufacturing process
Is separate industry. Hot steam is led
from small boiler over an immense tin
pan. A layer Of spruce is put above the

While the second class gum is used

for medicinal purposes. One little town

Old Town to Washington in Canoe.

big Thunder" and Peter Nicola,
Penobscot Indians, started from Old
Town Friday on their trip to Washington
in birch canoe. The Indians OF Indian
island gathered on the shore to see them
off.
1t Is doubtful IL a trip OF this dis
lance was ever made in 80 small a craft or
with so small store OF supplies.
Naturally, not much OF load could be
carried in the canoe, and outside OF num-
Der OF Indian relics, such as arrow heads
and rude implements used by the tribe
years ago, the goods taken consisted OF a
nall tent, frying pan and quantity OF
canned goods.
The first stop OF the Indians was
at Bangor, where few provisions
were purchased.
The canoe in which the trip is being
made is of the ordinary size, made OF
birch bark and put together with wooden
pins according to the old type OF build
ing canoes, but it is good one, and looks
very substantial. Its weight and load is
not more than two msn can carry easily.
1t is fitted for sail which will be used
when he wind is favorable.
the Indians expect to make the trip in
about a month, but much will depend on
the wind aud weather. They have re-
ceived letters from many of the light
house keepers along the coast inviting
them to stop on the way, as their guests,
and the invitations will be accepted in
most every case, thus making the trip
very pleasant one and assuring the In
dams OF place OF rest and good treat
ment. The store of canned goods will be
repenished from time to time as needed
at the towns and cities where stops are
made.
AS soon as Washington is reached, the
Indians will call on President Mckinley.
A few days will be passed in Washington,
exhibiting the relics and canoe in which
the trip was made. The canoe will then
be sold and the return home made by
rail

horse show and fair at Bar Harbor seems
to have detracted nothing from the Eden
fair, which from a modest beginning has
become successful yearly institution.
In the vicinity OF Salisbury Cove, where
the fair is held, because OF It's nearness
to Bar Harbor, there are some OF the
finest market gardens to he found in

find this year finer collection of fruit
