OLD HOME WEEK,
Col. Boothby Optimistic as to the Fu-
ture of the Institution.

Col. r. E. Boothby, who has been the
head and front of the Old Home Week
movement in Maine, and who did much
to make it a Maine institution, tells the
Portland newspapers that in his
opinion Portland will not attempt any
thing in the way of celebration of the
return Of former citizens this year.
Portland has four times celebrated
the Old Home Week." he said, but
this year l do not think that anything
Of the kind will be thought Of The
observance of last year was confined
to the meeting in the evening, but to
my mind it was the best of all.
The Patrons of Husbandry are rs
an organization interested i'm the great
reunion week. and l think will do much
to make it success this year. | have
no doubt that in many places some day
of the week will be appropriately OBJ
served.
There is no lack of interest felt
here in the week. but only a telling that
having four times given the central
welcome in behalf Of the State. it is the
turn of the people Of some other city to
do the honOrs.
There will be n great central well
come, l am very glad to say. l have
received letters from ROckland, telling
ma that the celebration there will be
worthy of the city, of our former fellow
citizens. and the State. The people of
ROcllland do things on Il generous scale.
and we can depend upon them to give
us a great celebration this year of the
State event.
John w. Thomas is the head of the
local movement there and those who
are especially interested in the week
and the celebration. are counting, and
that reasonably. on the cordial sup
port of their fellow citizens.
portland will have the great Ma
tional Convention of Corrections and
Charities this year. and cannot be
asked to do more than heartily join in
the greetings of the people of Rockland
will give to all the former citizens.
Old Home Week is and will remain
| a Maine institution. 1t will be even
more so in the future than at the
present time. There is not a section OF
Maine where there is no interest i'm the
annual home coming of former citizens
and friends | hope, trust and believe,
| that there will be beside the central
celebration and welcome at Rocklan6
| very many pleasant local observances
of the week. In the future. as in the
past, this City will be ready to again
give the State welcome to all our
visitors
| Even without the giving of this CEN
trail welcome, as it is generally called.
it is the opinion of Col. Boothby that
| Portland will be visited by hundreds
of former residents during that special
week. He does not believe that Port
land will be neglected by the sons and
daughters of Maine, now citizens of
other states.

Forest Commissioner Ring is taking
such precautions as are possible to pre-
Vent>a recurrence Of the great forest
fires of q year ago. OF course, it is i'm
possible for any measures to be taken
by mar TO prevent another drouth such
as Maine experienced in May and June
of 1903, but it is possible to make an
effort to arouse people to the necessity
or using care in starting fires in the
woods. It is along these lines that
Commissioner Ring is working. This
week the following letter. together with
a package OF fire notices and a copy
of the law regarding the building of
fires in the woods, will be sent to the
selectmen of all towns and plantations
in the State:
Dear SirS:-
Realizing the great value Of the
wooded area of the State, whether ii
is in sections heavily covered or of
sparse growth, we wish to try to evert
the great devastation and Il reputation
Of the forest fires of 1908. With this
end in view we are sending to each
city, town and plantation, a package
Of ''fire-notices' for posting.
We hope that upon the receipt of the
package sent to your town you will see
;hat the same are posted and the pro-
visions attended to under the copy Of
the law, which is enclosed with each
package.
In hearty cooperation with this de-
partment in the enforcement Of this
law, we believe much good can be ac-
complished and the liability of loss by
ed.
Respectfully yours,
EDGAR E. RING,
Forest Commissioner.

When the local assessors of the diff
ferent cities and towns in this State
receive the blanks upon which their
return to the State Board use to be
made this year they will find that 4
new colur1n or either two new ones
has been added thereto from previous
years. These columns will be devoted
TO automobiles. There will be one in
which to place the number of machines
the other their value. In previous years,
since the auto came into Maine. these
returns have been made under the
headings of carriages or other property.
just as the local assessors saw fit. Now
the State board feel that the horseless
machine have become sufficiently num-
erous to warrant giving them special
place on the blank as is done with
bicycles.

UNCLE SAM S ASSISTANT
Crippled Young Woman a Successful
Mail Carrier.

Vineland. N. J.. July 27.-Although a
cripple Is years, without the use of her
limbs and unable to get in and out of
her wagon unassisted, Miss Villa Pot
ter, aged so years, carries mail on ru-
raj route No. 2, from Newfield, every
day. Miss Potter is wheeled to her
wagon every morning by her mother,
who places her in the carriage and the
heroic young woman starts on her ride
of 20 miles to deliver mail.
Several years ago Miss Potter's faith
er was killed in a well at RosenIlayn,
leaving a son to support the mother and
daughter. The son recently died and
the invalid daughter braVely took up
the fight for bread and butter. Farmers
along the route have built boxes so that
she can deliver mail without leaving
her every possible kindness. Mrs. Pot
ter, who is nearly 60 years old, daily
cares for three horses and several cows,
besides raising chickens and ducks.

SYSTEMATIC STEALING.
Merchandise Valued at $4,000 Taken
by Rock Island Employees.

eral wears there has been small steals
of merchandise and other articles
from the freight cars and depots of
the Rock Island system, but no trace
had been discovered until a few days
ago Detective w o. Mcintosh began
watching the conductors and brake
men and in a very short time over
$4,000 worth of fine shoes and ladies'
wearing apparel was found. A fence"
has been discovered that during the
last few years has bought of railroad
men and shipped to Chicago over
$4,000 worth of merchandise.
About twenty-five railroad men
are suspected and some are under
arrest, and the others closely watched.
Just what effect this will have upon
the employees of the Rock Island is
not vet known.
