of this place.

ated with his father, James Dnsmore,
in drug and book store business, which
was continued by several succeeding
firms and is the same business, 10 later
years enlarged and extended, which is
now conducted by Frank W, Buckuam.
Mr.. Dinsmore afterwsrd established the

Bickford, and In this enterprise and n

Gen. Greeley, who has been tireless in
his arduous task Of developing the tele-
graphic system of Alaska, is back from
his last visit to the territory with the
cheering news that the Nome district lie
now In regular and daily communication
with the outside world by means OF the
wireless system Installed by the signal
corps. Every day In the week thou
sands OF words are sent across Norton
sound, l07 miles, to st. Michael, whence
dispatches may be forwarded by the
Yukon wire to Eagle and thence across
Alaska to Valdes to be put on the cable
for the states. This news is interesting
not only because the Nome district, the
greatest center Of our placer mining in-
terests 10 Alaska, was sorely In need Of
telegraphic communications, but also be-
cause the system now 10 operation across
Norton Sound Is as yet the longest com
mercial wireless service In regular use,
and Ia practical witness to the value of
the wireless system.

The Last Word on the Candi-
dates.

The final word on the Presidential cam
dliates from the highest authorities APP
pears In the November McClure's, which
IS just out. Judge Parker is discussed
ov ex-president Cleveland, and President
Roosevelt by Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge of Massachusetts, in two brief but
most intensely interesting papera.
Mr.. Cleveland, speaking from years OF
political and personal acquaintance with
Judge Parker, believes him fit for the
high calling of the Presidency. In his
ability, judicial and conservative temper
ament, sincerity, fearlessness, loyalty to
conviction, devotion to duty and safe
conception of Presidential responsible
ties, Mr.. Cleveland finds Judge Parker
equipped 10 the fundamentals for the du-
ties of the Office OF whose needs his own
eight years' personal experience so well
qualities him to speak. Concerning his
candidate, he says. "Judge Parker's ex-
perience In judicial investigation, added
to his natural aptitude In the same direc-
ton, ought to satisfy the most cautious
and exacting OF b 8 abundant ability to
discover, 10 the light Of Constitutional
requirements and In the atmosphere of
enlightened but conservative American
ism, the manner In which President
should best serve his country"
Senator Lodges characterization OF
| President Roosevelt is the sincere tribute
of near and true friend. The trusted
political adviser as well as the intimate
personal friend of the President, Sena-
tor Lodge writes with authority OF his
interesting subject. He declares his be-
lief that mo man has lived the life Of
his time go amply as he; no one has
known humanity In 81. many phases, 40
one has wider sympathies or 80 many
! interests" President RoOsevelt's real
''strenuousness," he says, is simply "the
well-ordered activity Of very busy man
of energy, a man who thinks and acts
! quickly, OF high ideals, unquestioned in
tegrity and unwaveling courage" In
conclusion he finds In Pres. Roosevelt,
"the typical American "brave man
and an honest man; very human, with
no vain pretense to infalibility, simple
in his home life, democratic In WAYS,
with the highest education that the
world can give, kind to the weak, tender
and loyal and true, never quarrelsome,
but never afraid to fight, with strong,
sane sense of honor"
"The use to which he has put these
| qualities Of heart and character" Sena-
tor Lodge adds, sis cut pretty deep into
the history OF our last twenty-five years."

Skowheean Grange.

The evening OF Wednesday, October
10Th, was very enjoyable one for the
patrons of Skowhegan Grange. Visitors
from Norridgewock, Madison and Pair
field were present, The officers and
members of Somerset Grange, Norridge-
wock, occupied the chairs and furnished
the program, which was most excellent,
consisting of songs, approximations,
recitationa, etc. after which all retired
to the banquet hall where three hundred
patrons psrtook of the substantial and
sppetizing viands placed before them.
On their return to the hall socisl con-
vsrse and general good time prevailed
until after the clock proclaimed the mid
night hour.
The Skowhegan Grange members hope
their visitors enjoyed the occasion as
much as they themselves did, aud trust
that such meetings will be more fire.
