Elk for the Maine Woods.

1t has been suggested that Maine
forests be stocked with Western elk,
and the suggestion has been favorably
received by Maine sportsmen, judging
from the notices in relation to the sub
ject, printed in Maine papers.
That this plan would be success, is
the firm belief of many people whose
Judgment may be relied upon, and the
measure may be brought up for the
consideration of the next Maine Legis-
lature.
The Republican is earpestly in favor
of any movement for the proper pro-
lection of Names fish and game or for
the increasing of the attractions offered
to spOrtsmen of other sections to visit
our State, for it all means more revenue
for the people of Maine as well as bet
ter sport for our own people. This new
movement is one that ought to be rich
in good results. The elk will doubtless
breed as well in Maine forests as it does
IN its native home and although the
cost OF placing a sufficient number of
these fine animals in our woods would
be considerable, yet it is confidently be-
Heved that the investment would be a
grand one for Maine.
There would doubtless be a close
time of fifteen years on elk, and the
severe penalty for killing one would
prevent the most hardened poacher
from making the attempt.
1t is possible that the next generation
may see good elk hunting in Maine if
our forests remain.-Aroostook Repub-
lican.

Steamer Minola in Collision.

PORTLAND, Me, Sept. 4, 1901. Steamer
Minola, Capt: Archibald. from Rockland,
arrived to night disabled While off Seguin
she collided with schooner George F. keene,
bound from Boston to Mt. Desert. A dense
fog prevailed, and Capt. Archibald, who
was at the steamers wheel, says the sehoon-
er was not more than 200 feet away when he
first saw her, coming head on.
The schooner struck the steamers star
board side, the jibboom entering the steam
er's upper works, making clean sweep for
40 feet
The engine room bulkhead was crushed
in, and Albert Sterling, engineer, and Frank
Francis, oiler, were swept across the engine
room, saving their lives by taking refuge
behind the low pressure cylinder. The jib-
boom knocked down the steam gauge board
and broke off several small steam pipes.
Three deck hands who were asleep on a
pile of freight barely escaped with their
lives. William Griffin was severely bruised.
There were 40 passengers on the steamer,
most of them women and children. They
were intensely frightened. The steamer
anchored, and after temporary repairs was
able to continue her trip, though very

When the first English explorers Wis
tied this section they found the terri
tory from St. George eastward occupied
by the Tarratine Indians. Prior to ITO
no permanent settlements were made
| within the present limits of Northport.
The first settler was Lewis Pitcher,
who came from Waldoboro and built a
log cabin at the Pond, near the present
site of Lewis E. Pitchers mill. Other
settlers who made homes here before
the Revolution were Thomas Burkmar,
Samuel Bird, David Miller, Col.
Thomas, Stephen and John Knowlton,
Hezekiah Flanders, Adam Patterson
Mark and John WEIGH, Capt. Ebenezer
Frye, Zachariah Lawrence, Maj. Ben
jamin Shaw, David Alden, Henry Pen
dleton and Micajah Drinkwater Dur
ing the Revolutionary War many of
the newly established homes along the
coast were broken up, hence the real
history of the town practically begins
with the close of that struggle.
Prior to 1850 all the territory in this
section was in York County. In that
year Lincoln county was formed, and
Northport was part of that county
until 179S, when the eastein part was
incorporated as Hancock county, which
in turn was divided in 1927 and Waldo
county formed of the portion west of
Penobscot River.
Before the incorporation of the
towns the territory now comprised in
Northport and Lincolnville was known
as the Plantations of Ducktrap and Ca
naan. While the outside boundaries of
the two were substantially the same as
at present, except that Canaan extend
ed nearly to Camden village, the divid-
ing line has been changed. Ducktrap
stream divided the plantations, but
few years after the incorporation of
Lincolnville the line was changed to it's
present location, short distance north,
and passing lengthwise through Pitch
er's and Knights Ponds. Belfast,
which joins Northport on the North,
was incorporated, in 1918; Belmont, on
the West formerly Greene Plantation)
in 1914; and Lincolnville, on the South,
in 1902. Northport was one of six
towns incorporated in 1896. It was the
106th town, and the date of its incor-
poration June 10, was but three days
later than the incorporation of Castine.
A census taken in 1890 showed the pop
ulation of Ducktrap and Canaan to
have been 27s. When Ducktrap was
first settled it was part OF the Waldo
Patent, then owned by Gen. Samuel
; Waldo. In 1902 it became the property
of Gen. Henry Knox, and in 1902 of
Thorndike, Sears and Prescott. The
settlers named above bought +h~;--
