Pacific coast states systematic at
tempt is being quietly made to con-
vince the people of that section that
the advantage to all that part of the
country in the trade with the Orient
will be destroyed If the canal should
he built. The argument is based upon
the fact that the geographical position
of the Pseiie coast is such that the
products of that part of the country
will have a marked advantage over
other sections in the trade with the
Orient, and that all importations will
have to enter through the ports of the
Pacific coast, while if the canal were
completed, there would be compe-
tition from the east and from Europe.
1t is not known whether this argu-
ment will have potsns influence with
the present delegation in Congress,
but it indicates that strong interests
in the country are opposed to canal
construction.

The slaughter OF porcupines still goes
on in Washington county, and neither
the zeal of the hunters nor the supply of
porcupines is exhausted, though the
treasury OF the State promises TO be.
Willard Andrews, of Mortified, probably
has the record for the largest number in
one week, his best week being seventy
two OF these animals, and it will be readily
seen that at twenty five cents each, it
made very good weeks work. His
second best week was sixty-two Of these
animals. Fred Colson, of Wesley. comes
close second with sixty-six as his best
week, but as he killed two bears during
the week his total bounty money for the
week will exceed that of MIR. Andrews.

An Interesting Discussion.

| SOUTHWEST HARBoR, Nov. 9, 1908.
| To the Editor of The american:
| 1t may be that you will like to print the
enclosed letter, which concerns subject
OF great Importance to all tax payers in
Maine. The circumstances under which
it was written are as follows;
| An excellent friend OF mine,
whom we will cell X, owns a valu-
able farm lying near the shore at point
where it is scarcely of any use for agricui-
| ture, but is in demand for building sites
| for summer residents.
| Friends OF mine, aud others, have re-
| peatedIy sought to obtain land from Y
| upon which to build. But inasmuch as
the assessors still value the farm at sub
staatiaIly the old value of a generation
ago, X is able to decline advantageous
offers, to keep the land and market, and
TO prevent the natural increase of the
growth of the town, and the prosperity
| which attends the building OF new
houses.
Recently, to my knowledge, Y refused
an offer of $500 from very desirable
people, for a ret her scrunby acre of land
with very narrow shore frontage. This
land is not assessed at $50 an acre.
Now, have no quarrel with X, who is
good friend of mine, and who is only do
ing what Others do, and what the assess
ors permit, but / stand fer democratic
principles of taxation, and l believe that
this loose method of assessment is against
the interest of all concerned, including X
and other such.
/ therefore ventured to write the letter
to X, calling his attention to the fact that
| the dog-in- the-msnger policy is an injury
to everyone concerned.
The fact is, what we want in America is
the greatest possible good for all, which
is really the application of the ideas of
justice and the golden rule.
Very respectfully,
CHARLES +. DOLE.

in the role of Cupid is a remarkable incident
in connection with the marriage of Miss
Jennie Foss and John Edward Bower, of
New Washington, Ind. While Miss Foss
west of the Washburn settlement she
encountered a ferocious wildcat, which was
i'm the building when she entered early in
the morning The young woman opened her
umbrella and slowly retreated, reaching
safety without being attacked.
An account of the adventure caught the
eye of John Bower. who, like many other
persons, wrote to Miss FOss complimenting
her on her bravery and desiring to corre-
spond with her with view of matrimony.
Mr.. Bower, because of his apparent manli-
ness, was favored with an answer to his
letter The correspondence continued for
six months. Photographs were exchanged.
Finally an engagement resulted, and when
Miss Foss went to Madison, Ind, to meet
her fiancee both young persons found no
disappointment.

SUFFERING ON A COMMON.
Cornelius Worrell Was Unable to Ac-

Evidently Not Attempted.

Cornelius Worreli, veteran of the civil
war, was arrested yesterday afternoon and
locked up at the police station on a charge
of being drunk. Worrell was found lying
on the common at Michigan street and
the Belt railroad. suffering from a badly
beaten face and a balckened eye and it is
said he laid thus for over fifteen hours be-
fore being found.

the old soldier TO the Dispensary in the
ambulance and dressed his wounds Wor-
rell told conflicting stories as to how he
received his many bruises and marks of
violence, but claimed finally that he Law
down on the grass to sleep When he
awoke he found that he had been beaten
He had considerable money i'm his pockets
when placed under arrest and il is not
evident that he was assaulted for the pur-
pose of robbery. The police are inclined
to believe that in rambling in the fields
almost blind from drink, the old man fell
and struck his face on a stone On ac-
count of his age he will probably be al
lowed to go free in the Police Court this
morning.

BURNS CAUSE HIS DEATH
PETER HANSEN DIES At CITY HOS
PITAL FROM INJURIES.
He Was an Old Man, and Had Been
i'm Feeble Health for Some
Time.

Peter Hansen, the man who was so
severely burned in the fire at the plant of
the National Wheel Company Saturday,
died from the effects of his injuries at the
City Hospital yesterday morning. Hansen
was employed by the wheel company and
when the fire broke out he, with several
other workmen, was sent into the building
to save the stock.
He was overcome by the smoke and fell
to the floor, where he was found fright
fully burned several minutes later by one
of the firemen. He was taken to the City
Hospital in the Dispensary ambulance, at
tended by DIR. Mackey, but his body was 81
badly burned that little hope was had for
his recovery from the time he was placed
under the care of the hospital doctors. He
inhaled some of the flames, it is thought,
and that is probably what caused his
death.
Hansen was an old man and had been in
feeble health for some time. He leaves two
married daughters in this city and made
his home during the last few years at SIP
Division street.
