The Bangor News makes a plea for
the abolition Of the present law au-
thorizing road commissioners and the
substitution of the old district system
in it's place. 1t admits, however, that
the old system was bad and wasteful
and declares that if all the money that
has been wasted upon the highways Of
Maine during the past so years were
available today. we could macadamize
more than half of the roads in the
State.
The Saco school committee have for
of naming the schools of that city,
which nave heretofore been designated
by the streets on which they were sit
uated. after some prominent men who
have been influential in the cOmmu-
nifty. This plan, which has been adopt
ed in many places, seems much more
satisfactory IN every way, and the
suggestion has met with general ap-
prevail in Saco. The committee. hav-

idea, decided to adopt the plan and
make u beginning by naming few of
the schools at first 1t was thought
advisable to have the various teach
ers suggest the names for the schools.
and this has been done. Already four
school buildings, namely, the new
Park, Green street. old Park and Spring
street have been named after Captain
Richard Boynton. Tristram Jordan,
Colonel William Moody. and Cornelius
-Sweetser respectively. These men have
played an important part in Saco his
tory. and it is fitting that their names
be perpetuated and their memories
honored in this manner.
Maine men have long played promi-
nent parts in the business world as
they have in the realms of politics and
craftsmanship. The names of many
of these successful men from the Pine
Tree State are known to thousands but
there are others whose achievements
while no less deserving, have been
forgotten. For instance, few of the
great number of Maine people who tell
the time of day by looking at watches
of American manufacture know that
they are indebted to a native of the
Maine town of Freeport for the ma
chine made watch which has been so
developed and improved that a good
time piece may today be procured for
Il dollar. To Aaron l.. DennisOn, born
in Freeport, in 1872. belongs the honor
of founding the systematic manufac-
ture of watches by automatic machin-
cry in the United States. He learned
the watchmaker's trade, and wh.,e
journeyman in Boston became i'm
pressed by his experience with Swiss
and English watches. with the neces-
sity of securing greater uniformity of
parts. He interested men of means,
visited England and built a watch fac
tory in Boston in 1851, the first in
America. A little later the establish
nent was moved to Waltham. now the
greatest watch manufacturing center
of the world.

During the year about 1000 visitors
have ferried across the Penobscot to
visit Indian island at Old Town. A
great part of them were from out OF
the State and had curious ideas about
the Indians and their methods of life.
Most seem to have the idea that the
Indians live in the much read of wig
wan and still retain the old primitive
manner of life. Many would not be at
all astOnished to hear a regular old
fashioned war whoop and see an Indian
rush around the corner brandishing Il
tOmahawk ana dressed in natures
clothes. The Indians all live in very
comfortable houses and their mode OF
life is almost identical with that of the
white man. A great many of them il
fact live much better than the aver

ways glad to welcome visitors but there
is nothing of particular interest for the
