STATE HOUSE.
Another Chapter in the Malaga
Island Controversy.
Five Million Dollar Company 10 Con-
troll Boston's Milk Supply.
Meeting of the State Board of Health
Held Yesterday.

The case of Malaga island is still IN
doubt Selectman Minott of Phipps-
burg, has written another letter to Gov
ernor Hill in which he states that a
Harpswell selectman informs him that
Malaga belongs to the town of Cum
berland, under the act of Incorporation
authorized by the Maine Legislature IN
1871.
An examination Of the records DIS
closes the fact that the town of cum
berla nd was set off from North var
mouth in 1921. The new town comprised
certain described portions Of the NAM
land. and "all islands and flats hereto
fore belonging to North Yarmouth, ex-
cept Cousins, Littlejohn's. Lanes, MO-
sier's and Little Mosier's." One-third
OF the paupers We're set of onto cum
bcrland and the remainder were to stay
with the parent town.
II cannot be ascertained from care
full examination of all the laws bear
ing upon the incorporation of the varl-
Gus towns which, from time to time,
were set off from North Yarmouth, just
whore Malaga and Bear islands belong;
but the impression prevails that in the
Georgetown in ZIG these islands were
made a part of that town. The records
of the setting off of Small Point and
contiguous territory from North Var
mouth and annexing the same to
Georgetown We're published in Mon
days Journal. but up to the present
time the act Incorporating Georgetown
has not been forthcoming. When it
does appear the mystery will be clearer
than it is at the present time.
All the maps and aliases of Maine
that have been published invariably To-
cate Malaga and Bear islands on the
east side of the dividing line. Moses
Greenleafs map, published in 1929,
places Malaga and Bear islands in the
town Of. Phippsburg; that is, the divid-
ing line. is to the westward of the is
lands.
& Further Investigations may result in
definitely determining the location of
these Islands, but at present grave
doubts exist as to what town they
really belong to.

JACK WILSON'S GHOST DANCE GRAFT.
Jack Wilson, the famous Piute In
dian who started the ghost dance craze
among the Indians all over the United
States a few years ago, lives In Mason
Valley, Nevada" said an official Of the
Indian bureau the other day.
HE does not have the influence
among the Indians now that he had ten
years ago, although he Is more than
the ordinary Indian Intellectually. His
success as an apostle was due to his
superior intelligence, combined with
low cunning and utter lack of con-
science. To secure the power and in
f1uence he welded over his followers
in the early days Of his notoriey, he
resorted to numerous tricks and de-
ceptions.
"On one occasion when he had been
lecturing on the new religion he told
his audience that on the next day he
would make ice from the river and in
vited all to see him perform miracle.
It being in August, he knew that to
make them believe he had made ice
would give him greater prestige. He
selected a point below bend in the
river, and after securing trusty ac-
complice, who took from a neighboring
ice house a generous lump and depos-
tied it in the current above the bend,
Wilson, with wild gestures and wierd
incantations, placed himself at con-
venient point where he lifted the float
ing ice from the water when 1t reached
him from above, and thus made the
Piutes believe he had supernatural
power. By such trickery he made his
associates believe that the ghost dance
would drive the white man away from
this country and bring back the buff
falo."- Post.
