Twin.Screw Steamer Ready for Spring.

BANGOR. Me, Dec. 25.-There has lust
been completed between Eaole and Cham
berlain lakes in northern Mii1e the longest
log carrier In the world This carrier will
cause the bringing Of many million feet
Of lumber down the Penobscot River to
the saw mills of Maine, which under the
conditions that have prevailed since um-
bering began in Maine would go down
tho st. John River to New Brunswick mills,
although the logs were cut in Maine.
The log carrier runs over the rising
ground that divides the watershed OF the
Allegash River and the east b inch OF the
Panobscot. the Allegash being a tributary
the St. John. The carrier is 5000 feet
long and its cable is 8,0OO feet 1t Is built
to last for years, and when running at it's
regular speed will deliver seven 3O-foot
logs a minute. or about 100000 feet a
day 1t will carry at a time 100 logs of
that length.
The cable IL of steel rope. an inch and
quarter In diameter, and weighs 100 tons
The motive power for operating the plant
connected with the carrier consists of a
Westinghouse automatic compound eng inc

Ferry's Candidacy.

William G. Mcmillan is not a candl-
date 10 succeed his father inthe Unit
ed States Senate. Immediately follow
ing this announcement, which was
made Saturday afternoon, a public
statement announcing the candidacy
of Hon. Dexter NJ. Ferry was made.
This makes the contest at this time be-
tween Mr.. Ferry and Gen. X. a. Alger
Both are most excellent gentlemen
and in the event of either being given
the honor Michigan would be well
taken care OF.
Dexter NJ Ferry is one of the citi.
Zens OF Michigan who has met with
wonderful success in business and of
whom the whole state can be proud
lie is n power i'm himself, high mind
ed man who has high ideas and thinks
20 a purpose. AS senator he would
prove Just such man of influence and
power as did the late Senator Mcmillan,
as the two men are typical in large
number of respects.
Mr.. Ferry has never been honored
by his party during the long years he
has so ably and substantially stood by
the party's interests during national
rs well as state contests. Gen. Alger
has been Michigan's governor, and n
member of presidents cabinet, being
more honors than is generally accord
ed most men.
AS between Messrs. Ferry and Alger
the one most entitled TO this exalted
honor is Mr.. Ferry.
