mlngs OF Auburn was elected as the
hrst grand master workman. In the

lzatlon have been under the jurisdiction
OF the Massachusetts grand lodge, Dut

Where Farm Produce Went.

WAsHINGToN, July I. Frank H.
Hitchcock, chief of the foreign m arket
section of the agricultural department
has compiled statistics, showing the dis
tribution of the agricultural exports of
the United States for the years 1s96-19OO
He shows that there were dozen
countries in 1900, to each of which the
United States exported more than $40,
100000 worth of domestic farm prod
ucts.
The United Kingdom purchased s4Os,
100000 and Germany $134, 900, 900 worth.
Our agricultural exports to the Unit
ed Kingdom were the largest on record
excepting those of the extraordinary
year 1898, when value of $780, 900, 900
was attained. In our trade with Ger
many the exports for 1900 We're decid-
eddy in excess Of any previously report
ed, and show an increase of nearly 100
percent in the five-year period.

The Criehaven Pigeon Post.

Capt. Horatio erie of Criehaven who
has been in this city the past few days,
guest of DR.. E. W. Gould, received a
''pigeon-gram" from his home yester-
day morning, informing him of articles
needed on the island. The bird was
liberated at daylight and Capt. erie re-
ceived the message here in time to do
his buying and return home on the
steamer w. G. Butman which left here
at 7.3O a. m. The pigeon post was
established there by DR.. Gould and seems

present, and ! had strong aversion to
being numbered with heavy arms on
such an expedition. However, it was
decided to leave the matter with self
appointed committee of one whose de-
cision should be accepted. The question
relative to arms was tabled, and it was
decided that the would be mountaineer
should submit as gracefully as possible
to his fate, and hold himself in readi-
ness to start at the earliest and most
favorable hour. 1t was evidently case
of "see Rome and de-" subject, of

the conditions of the weather and sky
were watched with interest, and when

was guided by the narrow, irregular
strip of sky between the tree tops, the
only indication of the roadway below,
and when that was not visible the way
became uncertain. That logging road
was one of the toughest of its kind.
Reaching the public road-Moose river
and Gorham highland road going west
the travelling was comparatively easy
until change in the course was made
upon reaching the cross road or by way.
Soon after entering upon that way the
Moose river was crossed.
Near the mountains, and under the
shadow of Mount Madison, stood va
cant house with reputation of being
haunted. 1t was said that many per-

hour the structure was half hidden from
view by a thin vapor rising from the
near by river. Ny faith being weak in
the haunted theory, the dim outlines
of the structure were viewed with curl
osity as monument of superstition.
The house was situated near the mar
gin of a dense forest through which
the unfrequented road stretched in it's
zigzag course around the east side of
the mountains, the forest continuing
far down the valley and up the noun
tain side at the right in an unbroken
body. The roadway was narrow, and
the dense growth formed an almost
continuous arch. There was not suffi-
Gent travel on the road to check the
growth of grass or shrubs. The tunnel
like arch in the moonless night present
ed a scene of "blackness of darkness.
The variableness of the grade Of the
road was equal to its zigzag course.
Often footsteps intended for a plane
found terra firma on sharp decline
After a walk of three miles through
this unbroken wild the lone traveller
came to an open glen in which were
situated three small farms, tenanted by
three families, numbering in all eight or
ten persons. A considerable portion
of the farms leaned against the foot
hills of Mount Madison at an acute
angle. The writer had gained some
previous knowledge of the place, which
was known as "Pinkham Grant" The
little community was subject to no mu-
nicipality. Although an isolated local
ity, some of its inhabitants were quite
widely known. The Cullane Brothers,
two muscular, powerfully built men, were
mountain guides, and their extensive
knowledge of the mountains made them
very popular with tourists, and they
were employed in that capacity through
out the season. One of the residents
of the place was the widow of an Eng
lishman, and it was said of her that clad
in the garments of her late husband
she performed all the labor on her
farm. All who lived in that wild coun-
try were supposed to be proficient in
the use of fire arms, though the late

by the presence of bears. She was said
to be a woman of courage and was de-
termined to put stop to their move
ments. Taking the rusty, old musket,
once the property of the late lamented,
she proceeded to prepare for war. At
the next appearance of the bear the
glln was brought out and several un-
successful efforts made to get a report
from it. Later when regrettjng her
lack of success, she explained her mode
of loading the gun. First she put in a
liberal quantity of powder, then bullets,
then more powder and more bullets,
etc., evidently thinking the more am
munition. the better the execution.
When examined the gun was found to
be half filled with ammunition. 1t was
intimated to her that if she had been
successful in discharging the gun she
would never more see bears. One young
man in the place was said to combine
business with pleasure by fishing from
one of the mountain streams for trout
and taking each days catch to noun
