A CH!L0ReN'S ESTER SALE.
wo'ihy Augusta Charity to Be heip-d by
Chi dren.

Twelve little girls who have shown
much interest in charitable work ana
who last year raised over $50 for the
Fresh Air fund, recently have been
making some tires for the children in
the Kcnnebec Valley Home. This led
! them to believe that their charity
should begin at home and thew nrom-
iscd d certain gentleman in this citv
that they would raise at least s15 for
the Home before Easter.
AS soon as their project was known
they received willing offers of articles
and assistance, ana through the kind
ness of the Masonic Temple Associa
ton have been given the use of the
vacant store for a Charity Sale on
Saturday, April 18th, the day before
Easter.
All articles that are donated
will be sold by the children
and the entire proceeds given
to the Valley Home for Children.
There Will be home made candies
fancy articles. children's grab bag,
cake and flowers. Promises of az
sistance have 50 readily been given the
children that there is no doubt that
they Will have an ample stock to sell
for enough to make up the sum prom
Used, if not more.
The Journal has previously told Of
the good work that is being done by
this home. and this effort of the chill
dren in its behalf seems much better
than sewing and contributing for peo-
pie in distant lands. Ii is to be hoped
that the people i'm Augusta will hph,
out the children both with articles and
later by buying them back, knowing it
is all for charity's sake and the object
is right here in Augusta our own city.
"Inasmuch as We have done il unto
one Of the least Of these my brethren.

STATE HOUSE.
State Assessors at Work Fixing Tim
berland Values.
Gossip Of Different Departments at the
Capitol.

The change in the worth of timber
lands. during the past year, has made
it necessary for the assessors to make
the reimbursement of valuations one OF
the features of their work, this year.
The manner in which the figures are
gained is one of the most interesting
parts of the assessors work.
At the margin of each page of the
book in which the property is recorded,
is drawn a small map of each town
ship. These different toWnsh hips are
designated in two ways. The first IS
that by which the deeds of the prop
erty are recorded in the office of the
registrar. That is, each township IS
marked Range s. or whatever it may
be, No. ), or whatever that number is.
In addition to this each township is
numbered by the assessors by an arbi-
trary figure meaningless to any one
except the board, but through it they
may find more easily what they want.
The principal feature in making the
map of the township is to locate the
amount of water in it. Long exper-
fence on the part of the owners of the
timberlands has shown that the lum-
bering cannot be done when the town
ship is more than seven miles from
the nearest stream.
1t has been currently reported that
the value of the timberlands has ad-
vanced third or over in the past
year. This, those who are in a position
to know, say is Il wild guess. but just
what the advance was is what the
owners and assessors will try to find
out.

A Communication.

Editors Of the Kcnnebpc Journal:
| heartily hope that the canvass for
fund for the purchase of the lot ami
buildings of the Augusta City Hospital
is progressing favorably. The great
mission Of a hospital is not SO much
to provide medical treatment as it is
to provide skilled nursing under cOndi-
lions favorable for recovery. Most
every sick person receives medical
treatment wherever he may be: but
how many. alas. perish for the want If
that intelligent and skillful care. which
carries such a large percentage Of
hospital patients through the dark
shadows of sickness and suffering to
recovery and health. How many fami-
lies in this community can now bear
testimony to the great benefits derived
from being able to secure trained
nurses at short notice. How many
people now well and hearty are in
dcbted for the fact to the skilled care
of this little institution. How Wild
has been the scope Of its noble bene-
factions Fly all means let US all sub
scribe to this fund. In no other way
can we accomplish more genuine good
with our money or help along nobleI
Christian work.

-,Hu;hvr thing was recently brought
to the attention of the assessors, dur
ing their rounds, and that is that in
Cumberland ana York counties an I'M
usual amount of numbering was done
during that period. 1t was carried on
IN the towns at the back part of the
county. And it demonstrated the idea
OF a prominent lumberman on the Ken
nebec, who was interviewed a short
time ago. that it will he but short
time before the mills will be moved in
land.
The operators moved a small port
able saw mill into the woods and after
housing it proceeded to turn out the
manufactured product on the spot
When the lumber was sent out Of the
woods it was in the form of box
boards, ready to be shipped to the
mills for planning and putting together
The equipment, mill and all did not
cost over $4,000 and when the spot was
cleared the mill could be moved to an
other place. The cost Of operating was
small as the mill manufactured its own
fuel. But it marked a new feature in
the lumber industry of Maine.

the secretary of the board calls atten-

among the most prominent diseases from

port he says:
Three little incidents occurred which
were gratifying. First the head clerk of

port came in to Say that. for the first
time. pulmonary tuberculosis is reduced
to the third place among the ten most
