A BIG PROJECT.
Plan to Build Railroad Into
AIIegash Section.
Territory Has Quantities Of Lumber
and Many Water Powers.
Railroad Communication Would Omen
Northern Maine to Lumbermen.

Capitalists in northern Maine are
considering the Feasibility of building
railroad through the great Allegash
country of Piscataquis, Penobscot and
Aroostook counties. prominent resi-
dent of Aroostook has the following
to say upon the subject, so dear to the
hearts of lumbermen and railroad men
who have been closely acquainted and
participated in the development of
northern Maine:
THE next steam railroad of any
length that you will see in Maine and
you will see it within a short time
too, according to the belief of MANY
of the men who have been interested
in the Aroostook and Fish River roads.
will be from some point on the pres
ent system to Allegash Falls. This is
no idle dream, but is certain to be the
next step in the development of the
great Maine wilderness, as it was once
called, but which is now becoming
pretty well covered with railroads.
las a matter of fact the Allegash
section presents the only section left
where there is practically a primeval
forest. There is to be found township
after township of splendid timber land
on which the spruce has never been
touched. A little of the pine has been
taken out in the past, but the spruce
is to all intents and purposes virgin
timber over almost-the whole of that
vast section. Sometime since T. U. Coe
and Senator Albert A. Burleigh made
an estimate of the timber possibilities
of that great region and found after
making careful computations that the
natural growth in the Allegash region
is fully 100000 a year.
1T would of course be for the pur-
pose of getting at this great growth of
lumber that road would be built up
through this country. The road has
been coming a long time, but is now
just beginning to take practical form
in the minds of the men who will push
it along. The road would have to be
in the vicinity of Is miles in length
and would start either from Patten,
Ashland, Katahdin Iron Works or Milli-
nocket. With the road would come
great change in that section, as it is
certain that the manufacturers would
move into the region and manufacture
on the spot. There are splendid water
powers and the coming of the railroad
will work q great transformation scene
in that section of Maine. Why, at
Allegash Falls is power fully as good
as that at Millinocket and one that
would be operated at far less
cost"

STATE HOUSE.
Appropriations for Educational
Purposes Show Increase.
Gain for Current Term Exceeds For
mer Grants by $377,26l,48.
Chairman Carleton Speaks Interesting.
Iy of Spring Fishing in Maine.

When the Legislature closed it's first
session three weeks ago, it was stated
that the appropriations made for the
two years 10000 aggregated about
$500, 900 more than the appropriations
made by the Legislature of 1901. A
careful examination of the five appro-
priation bills passed this year. reveals
the fact that almost one-half of the
increase is on account of additional
sums granted to the public schools and
other educational institutions of the
State. The subjoined schedule shows
the sums appropriated for educational
purposes two years ago in comparison
with the amounts granted this year lot
similar uses. In this schedule VIII be
found the amounts given the state
school for boys, the Industrial school
for girls, the Maine school for the deaf,
the education of the blind, the Univer-
sity of Maine, Colby college and for
public institutions of forestry in addi-
ton to the school fund and mill tax,
free high schools, normal schools and
academies meetings and examinations,
schools in unorganized townships,
school superintendents, summer train
ing schools and miscellaneous items.
All of the above may be classified as
among the educational institutions Of
the State. though perhaps some may
question the wisdom of including the
Reform and Industrial schools in the
list. Still they are educational in their
main character as well as reformatory.
1t will be noticed that the total APP
preparations for the years 1901-02 ag-
gregated 81, 496, 022.55, while the total
appropriations for 10000 amount to
81, S73. 2S4.03, an increase of 1851. AZ.
To be sure. the appropriation for the
school fund and mill tax for 1904 is es-
timated and is not final, but so was the
appropriation for the same purpose for
the year 1902. The Legislature is never
able to determine what the actual
amount will be for the second year of
the biennial term, for the income from
savings banks tax is not known at the
time the appropriation is made, so that
| it is wholly a matter of guess work.
But as these two items are both esti-
mated it is fair to treat them alike and
use them as basis for the comparison
| here given.
The figures below include every item
| in the various branches specified, with
the exception of the salaries of the
State superintendent of public schools
and his chief clerk which remain as
before. The schedule is as follows:

Up to April Is, the applications for
State pensions numbered 1916, which is
about the same as a year ago. The
records show. however, that of this
number fully 200 are applicants who
have never before asked anything from
the State. This means that the total
for 1903 will be considerably in excess
of that for 1902. The death of a pen
sioner rarely relieves the State of an
obligation. for most of those who are
being helped by the State have a wife
or someone dependent upon them for
support, and when the pensioner drops
out of it is almost always necessary
for the State to continue its work of aid
to them that are left. In general, the
family is usually more than ever in
need of the States bounty for with the
soldier expires his United States PEN
sion which has helped exc out his State
stipend. 1t will take nearly a year for
the widow to make application and get
a United States pension and ii is dur
ing such a period that the State aid
means it's most. Thus it is that while
the aged pensioners are dropping away
day by day there is an increasing obi
CATION laid upon the State to minister
them that were dear to the soldier.
