A conservative estimate made by one
of the leading packers Of Lubec. places
the output of sarjincs for 1905 at about
10000 cases up to the first of June.
This estimate by some is thought small,
but allowing it is. and taking into con-
sideration that the few factories now
operating have packed this many. even,

though Dec. LIST would find 100000
cases packed in 1905. allowing the raw
material can be obtained.

ports perfect conditions for fishing.
and great success IN that line. The
hotels and camps are fuller than ever
before in the early part Of June. Flags
are flying from all the private camps,
and it is so far regarded as the record
year for record fish.

A Canadian Newspaper. the Toronto
Telegram, has worked itself up to n
point where it would rather fight than
eat The Telegram says: Canada has
better moral right to Portland, Me-,
than Russia has to aIg'of the winter
ports that her statesmen cOvrt. Rus
sis's inevitable growth is supposed to
Justify the theft of a warm water port
from some weaker people. Canada $ in
cvitable growth would justify the theft
Of Portland, Maine, from a stronger
people" Having evolved this conclu-
sion from premises that are a bit
shaky, to say tie least, the Telegram
continues: Canada must accommO->
date the conditions of her expansion to
the announcement fact that the United
States holds a winter port that right
fully belongs to this country" 1t is too
bad that the Telegram hasn't the
courage to go with it's convictions. If
it only had, it would take its office force
and come down and purloin Portland
some dark night. This could be done
all the more readily during the vacation
season, because 1T that time POrtland'S
latohstring is always out and tie back
door IS never locked.
Another loss comes to our Maine edu-
cdtiOnal system, Kicker being the vic
tim this time. At a meeting in Boston,
May %. the trustees Of Colby Academy,
New London, n. H., unanimously elect
ed to the piincil.alship of that school,
Justin o. Wellman, for the past four
years the efficient head of Kicker CLASH
cal Institute, at Houlton. Principal
Wellman has accepted the invitation,
and will begin his work at New Lon
don ir the fall. He has done exccp-
tionally faithful and efficient work ir
his present position. II this thing goes
on, it may become necessary to garri-
son our western frontier. to keep off in
truders from our educational preserves
OF course it is cOmplimentarv To Maine
