CROP RUIN EXAGGERATED
President Cable Of the Rock islaud Rail-

New York, Aug. 2.-President II. r..
Gable of the Rock Island railroad,
who is at present in town, says that
from his personal observations and re-
ports from division superintendent
the statements regarding the crop dam
age have been greatly exaggerated.
'sThe corn crop in our territory has I'M
doutedly been damaged, but not to the
extent reported" he said. 1T will be
found later that estimates of loss We're
considerably exaggerated. | cannot
give you any figures, as l have none
prepared, but general conditions do not
seem at all as bad as reported. The
talk of wholesale loss of cattle from
doueht has been fanciful."

The Post Office Department at Wash

The Post Office Department at Wash
lngton has published statement to
correct some errors which have gained
circulation concerning the new system
OF rural mail delivery. 1t says that no
free delivery routes more than twenty
five miles long will be established. and
that very few country post offices will
be abolished. The real revolution
wrought by rural free delivery is in the
star route. The statement concludes as
follows:
About the only effect the new system
is likely to have upon the country post
offices is to diminish the volume of
their business and thus keep them long
er out of the next higher class. By
slow degrees the shrinkage is liable to
reach a point where it will no longer
pay the postmaster, the government or
the people of the neighborhood to con-
tlnue certain offices in existence, and
they will be extinguished. But, on the
other hand, improved mail facilities are
found to have marked influence upon
the life and business of a small commu-
NIFTY, and what the postmaster loses in
the daily swarming of farmers at his
store, it is believed, will be compensat-
ed IN the increased prosperity of the
neighbOrhood

Last year many of our esteemed con-
temporaries kicked vigorously because
of the idea that Portland was to mo-
nopolize all the glory, and profit, of
State day, Old Home Week. Now the
opportunity has been open to other
cities and one or two have already I'M
gracefully declined it. This perhaps is
as well. Few cities in Maine could act
as host Oh this occasion so acceptably
as the Forest City, and location is also
in her favor. If Portland should again
accept the duty which by general con-
sent now seems likely to be imposed
upon her, she should at least have the
hearty good wishes and cooperation of
her sister cities, and of Maine people
generally. Rockland has now express
ed her willingness to assume the respon-
sibilities of State day, and if she does
so she should have the same aid and
encouragement we have bespoken for

but that l was attending meetings in

their full splendor.

looking about Boston, meeting many
Belfast people who now claim Boston
as a ''home' and returning to the
steamer about eleven o'clock.
At about two o'clock Tuesday morn
ing the steamer sailed with party of
seventy-five guests on board and the
officers of the B. & B. S. S. C. When
we awakened early that morning we
were well out to sea and no land was to
be seen. After breakfast the party
gathered on the deck to watch for the
first sight of land, while the Belfast
Band played at frequent intervals
throughout the day. Just before reach
ing Monhegan Capt. Ingraham inform
ed his guests that we would sail close
to the island, that all might secure a
good view, and the residents of the
island returned our salutes by ringing
bells, dipping of flags, etc. The band
played several selections as the steamer
lay to, and the good folk of the lonely
island returned the compliment in
many ways.
AS we passed Whitehead and Owls
Head and the intervening points of
land the steamer was kept busy return
ing salutes, and soon we were sailing up
the harbor to Rockland. 1t was expect
ed that we would be greeted here with
a great ovation, but the arrival of the
boat at half past two o'clock in the
afternoon was unexpected and only a
few people were on the wharf when the
steamer sailed gracefully up to her pier,
