The first cablegram to be received
in Maine direct from Honolulu was re-
ceipted for by Edward H. Kelley of the
Bangor Commercial, Saturday. The
dispatch had been filed in Honolulu,
over 5000 miles distant the same day.
The cablegram was as follows:
- Honolulu, Jan. 3, 1903.
Kelley, Bangor Me-: Compliments
of the season from Hawaii to Maine.
Harrington, Bulletin
Wallace r. Harrington, the sender of
the above, is native of Brewer, son
of the late Joseph r. Harrington, for
years superintendent of the farm at
the then State college at Orono, and
later superintendent of the Maine Re-
form School. Young Harrington grad
uated from the University of Maine in
1891, and afterward engaged in news
paper work in Bangor and other places
in Maine before going to Honolulu.
He is now editor and part owner of the
ENeullIS bullclI1 VI I1OUOlulu.
The Boston Herald says that it now
seems probable that Maine exchange
club will soon be organized in Boston
by natives of Maine living in that vi
cinity, to advance the social and BUSH
ness interests of this State. The plans
for Maine club have not been clearly
70, g
the Pine Tree State Club, which would
probably be the nucleus of larger or
ganization, heartily approve the idea.
AS nearly 100000 natives of Maine live
in Massachusetts, they believe it will
be feasible to maintain here a club
with the interests of the Pine Tree
State at heart. The idea of organizing
the Maine men who live in Massachu-
sets came to Mr.. James G. White some
time ago, when he was president of
the Pine Tree State Club. He preached
the idea to the directors of the club,
but they thought it would involve a
greater expenditure of money than the
club was able to guarantee. But the
success of Old Home week in awaken
ing interest in Maine has been so
marked that now it is likely that a
club somewhat similar to the New
Hampshire Exchange Club will be
formed. Mr.. White thinks a modest
beginning will be made in a suite of
rooms, rather than in new club house.
Mr.. Luther c. Greenleaf, president of
the Massachusetts Federation of Maine
Clubs, and secretary of the Pine Tree
State Club, said he was most decidedly

The Federation of Maine Clubs repre-
sents a membership of 1000. Mr.. S. X.
Hamilton. president of the Pine Tree
State Club, said he favored movement
intended to help Maine men and their
native State, but thought that lack of
money and a man who could give suf-
ficient attention to the matter might
prove to be insurmountable obstacles.
There is "a good deal of moonshine

first considered by us in 1883, but was
given up as impracticable."
The Waterville men who have taken
the preliminary steps toward the or
ganization of a local historical society
are to be heartily commended. Water
vile. and it's adjoining borough of
Winslow, is rich in historic associa-
tons and in the latter town is one of
the historic monuments of Maine, !
which the society should take meas
