BOOK NOTES:

Theodore Roosevelt the Citizen" the
latest work of Jacob A. Riis, is to be an
unconventional biography. AS almost
everyone knows. Mr.. Riis came into in
innate relations with Mr.. Roosevelt when
the latter was a police commissioner in
New York city, and the two worked to-
gether with equally intense yigor and grit
in fighting against graft and in behalf of
decent living-parks and schools for the
children, safe and healthful tenements. a
clean and honest city. Since then the
two have been warm personal friends.
and Mr.. Riis' opportunities for knowing
about the presidents life, opinions and
feelings have been peculiarly full and
even unique. In this book. as in Mr..
Riis' THE Making of an American and
How the Other Half Lives he shows
the power of a born story teller. 1t is
to be published this spring by the Outlook
company.

Last Friday Oakland was visited by
Col. Heistand, Assistant Quartermas-
ter-General of the United States Army,
and Mr.. Hege, representing the real
estate department of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, where they were
met by a delegation of Oakland's pro-
fessional and business men.
The purpose of the visit of these
gentlemen to Oakland was to inspect
the proposed army camp site offered
the Government by the citizens OF
the town and those residingsin the
community west and north of Oak
land who will become directly effect
ed should the matter reach a climax.
The plan has been placed before the
readers of this paper a plumber of
times, and therefore it only remains
to state that the Government desires
to establish somewhere in the east an
army camp embracing from $4,000 to
80, 900 acres, for which two sites are
being considered, the one near Oak
land and the other in Pennsylvania.
The claims of Oakland were fully and
ably set forth in a speech delivered in
Congress a week or two ago by Col.
Pearre, and as a result of his efforts
Col. Heistand was detailed to come
here and make an inspection.
The party accompanying.Col. Heis--
tand drove from here to anselevateds
point across the river where good
view of almost the lentire tract was
obtained and which Col. Heistand
stated met every requirement for the
purposes for which the land,is wanted.
Col. Heistand also stated to the
local committee that it is not this in
tention of the Government to make a
purchase of the Land this year, as the
appropriation has not yet been mad8
for that purpose, but to lease or rent
the tract for the month of1September
if possible to do so, paying the owns
ers from five to tifteen-cents per acre
rental for the month it is.oeeupied,
when 10000 troopsXwill be assembled
for the purpose of maneuvering. If
such an arrangement.could be entered
into, he said, the probabilities are
that next year the purchase.would be
made and the permanent camp estab-
lished He suggested that meeting
of those interested and owning land
proposed to be utilizedl be:.held in
Oakland, which wasl done. yesterday
afternoon when nearly all. the. land
owners were present. The PROPOSE
tion above outlined was submitted
and an agreement in accordance
Herewith was signed by.them, thus
securing to the GovernmenHthe land
for use when it is wanted.
While the coming oflthe troops is by
no means definitely settled,sOakland
stands good chance of securing the
camp in which event thousands ofmen
will be brought here and as a result
farmers will find ready market for
all they can produce. Aside from
this the officers will bring their fami-
lies to Oakland and. remain during
the entire month which will tax the
hotels and boarding houses to their
full capacity.

stock was largely devoted TO what are
known as the specialties. The constant
whipping up of excitement ana activity
in one or another of these afforded the
principal sustaining influences on the gen
eral list. That this influence was not not
ably effective is disclosed by the list OF
changes for the day which were compar-
atively insignificant. The waiting att-
tude of the market was undoubtedly due
to the monthly report of the agricultural
department of the August LIST condition
of the grain crops, and especially OF
spring wheat before venturinS on exten-

The grain markets also reflected the
Importance attached to the government
report in the nervousness eNhlDlted by
spectators committed in that market
The realizing which carried back the
prices of wheat was largely attributed
to this purpose. although the weather in
the spring wheat country was considered
better. Stocks derived some lrmness

belief in the difficulty experienced in the

say of Theodore Roosevelt that the

Republican platform that whenever
there was anything to be said on any

When is Old Home Week?

There seems to be 4 miSunderStand-
what week of August is Old Home
Week this year. The newspapers have
added To the confusion. some speaking
Of this week as Old Home Week and
others reic,t ug to it as next week.
OF course there is no general ObServ-
ancr of thu, week in Maine this year.
and every week during the summer
season IS old Home. Week as far as
that is concerned. but still it does no
harm To know just what week has been
designated by law as Old Home Week,
even although no official invitations
are sent out and no grand celebrations
INDUCED III.
III" numerous papers which have
referred to this as Old Home Week
have doubtless been misled by the COM
mon statement that the second week in
August was 50 set apart by the LegiS-
lature of 1903 As Il matter of fact the
law reads as follows: The week COM
mcnring with the second Sunday in
August each year is hereby designated
and set apart as Old Home Week, etc.
So the week beginning with August H.
which is really the third week in
August this year. although beginning
with the second Sunday, is Old Home
Week.
Several towns--we recall Fayette and
Andover among the numbcr-hold cele-
brations this week, but Rockland
which holds the chief celebration in tht
State this year and observes its 50tf
birthday along with Old Home Week
has the matter straight and has made
its plans for next week. Perhaps, mex
year. there will be a revival of the Ole
Home Week spirit, which seems to b.
dormant. this summer. and there viii
be more plans for it's observance. Blu
certainly in the newspaper offices ant
consequently in the popular mind
there is confusion over the matter, thi
summer. Old Home Week in Maine
as, set apart by law. is the week com
mcncing with the second Sunday II
August.
