DISASTERS IN 1901. Capt. Sumner 1.
Kimball, native of Sanford, Me-, and
chief of the life saving bureau in the treas
ury department, has figured the total of
disasters along the Maine coast for the past
fiscal year.. The figures are for what is
known as the first district, embracing the
coasts of Maine and New Hampshire, but
as the coast of New Hampshire is very con-
tracted the figures are practically for Maine
The number of lives lost during the year in
wrecks were three. There were succored
at life saving stations along the coast SO
shipwrecked persons, and the number of
days of succOr afforded was 1l9. The num-
ber of disasters to ships along the coast of
Maine and New Hampshire during the year
was 81 the value of the vessels involved,
$2O1, ,2O5 the value of their cargoes, $46, 270
the total value, $247, ATS; and the number OF
erty saved was $1S5,42O, and the value Of
property lost, $62,O55 The number of YES
sells was only eight.
The States income from the sale of
timber and grass on the State or school
lots in 1900 amounted to $40, ,835.62 The
gain this year is $2,673.46, making a
total of $13, 4OS.OS. Included in the
above collections is the sum of nearly
500 received from the sale of permits
| to pick blueberries on certain State lots
in the county of Washington. Some of
the lots in this county produce great
quantities of blueberries, but the right
to gather them, even though the tim
Der and grass rights on the same are
sold, has to be purchased OF the State.

jokes about liquor drinking because Of its
immense production Of whiskey. But it is a
fact that of the ninety-four counties of

Newspaper Notes.

President Tozier Of the National Ed
itorial Association has appointed his COM
mittees. Charles A. Pilsbury of The Repub-
lican journal, Belfast, is a member of the
committee on the presidents message.
A New York correspondent says: "Don
C. Seitz, business manager Of the World, is
an American with a foreign name. lie
came hither from Maine sixteen years ago
and became a reporter on the Brooklyn
Eagle, whence he gradually rose to his
present position, which is worth $50 per
week"
The National Printer Journalist says
"Any good local paper that devotes itself
industriously and effectively to advertising
all local interests and giving all local news
is worth $500 year and ought to receive
this amount, with sincere thanks thrown in,
from every loyal subscriber. Any intelli-
gent citizen ought not only to recognize the
valne to the community Of a good local pa
per, but also should take into account the
fact that the circulation must of necessity
be limited while the gathering and printing
of the news cost almost as much for two
thousand as for forty thousand circula-
ton"

survey Is HcinE Made and work
VIII Soon HeRin.

VIII soon Begin.
About two weeks ago The Post pub
ished an interview with Geologlst DUN
bic of the Southern Pacific system and
in this interview it was strongly limited
that the Southern Pacific would soon
build an extension to its fine mineral
mines in Mexico. Now comes the publi-
cation of the following dispatch to the
st. Louis Globe Democra, from Hermo-
sillo:
The plans of the Southern Pacific com
pany in regard to the proposed extern
sion of the Sonora branch of that sys-
tenn are at last known here. An engin-
eering party, in charge of B. King. has
taken the field at Ortiz. this State, and
VIII make a survey of line which the
company is to Immediately build from
Ortiz, on the Sonora branch, to the port
Of Mazatlan, situated several hundred
miles southwest of Ortiz. The new eX
tension will traverse the Pacific slope
of Mexico, and will pass through the
towns of Alamos, Puerto, Mocorito. Culia-
can, Cosolo, San Ignacio and La Noria.
In addition to this line. number OF
branch lines will be built in the States
of Sonora and Snaloa to mining camps
and productive agricultural districts.
The road will connect at Mazatlan with
the extension of the main line of the
Mexican International. which is also a
Southern Pacific property, now being ex-
tended south from Durango. A branch
OF the Mexican International road is also
to be built southeast from Durango TO
Gnadalajara, and thence through tile
territories OF Topic to Maza Ian. The
immediate building of line TO these ex-
tensions and branch lines is assured, ac-
cording TO statements OF Southern Pacific
officials In Mexico, and they will ag-
gregate about 1900 miles
