The Sturgis Law in Rockland.

If anything is to be judged by the
comparative number of arrests, Rock
land has been a much better behaved
city than it was before the passage of
the Sturgis bill. The report of the city
marshal shows that there were eight
arrests for intoxication in April this
year, while the record for April of last
year showed SO arrests for the same
cause. OF course the arrest of a man
for drunkenness lies largely within the
discrimination of the patrolmen, but
Marshal Fernald states that everybody
has been taken who would be arrested
under ordinary circumstances. That
there has been marked decrease in
drunkenness isapparent to any one who
looks upon the situation with unpreju-
diced eyes. And it IS not illogical to
suppose that the reform has been
brought about by the fact that the sale
of liquor has been about nine-tenths
stopped. That it is still sold by pocket
pedlers, and perhaps siyly by some of
the erstwhile dealers is apparent to the
authorities, but when it has been con-
fined to those circumscribed limits it is
fair to assume that enforcement is fair
ly thorough. In the language of the
day, the lid is on.-Rockland Courier
Gazette.

Work Resumed at High Island.

Conditions are very favorable at High
Island for the continuance and speedy
completion of the contract for furnish
ing the granite for the Wannamaker
building in Philadelphia. The work of
quarrying the stone, which was sus-
pended after the completion of the first
section and pending the appointment
of receiver in Pennsylvania and an
ancillary receiver in this State, is to be
resumed at once, the superintendent of
the work at the island having received
orders to that effect from the receiver,
Charles G.. Wetter.
The work of extending the wharf will
also be proceeded with. The extension
of the wharf will make the shipping of
the granite much easier and will make
a much safer dock for the schooners
loading the granite.
The Maine creditors of the firm of
William Gray & Sons are provided for
by stumpage on the granite quarried
and a percentage on the profits from
the Wannamaker contract, as well as
other special provisions made by Judge
Wiswell at a recent hearing on the ap-
pointment of an ancillary receiver in
Belfast.

ENFORCEMENT IN KENNEBEC.

The County Pretty Dry According to Judge
Hall.
On being asked whether or not the Off
GERS were effectively enforcing the liq-
uor law in Kennebec County, Judge Hall
of the Superior Court, Augusta, said
81 have no reason to doubt that the
officers are on the alert to detect VIC
lators of the law in this county. That
liquor selling has been stopped cannot
be asserted, but that it has been driven
to cover pretty effectually there can
be no doubt. The violators of the law
in this county we'll understand that
pretty stiff penalties are and will con-
tinue to be imposed, heavy fines or Jail
sentences according to the facts shown.
''The many Jail sentences imposed by
this court during the last year have un-
questionably lessened the traffic as
shown by the fewer arrests for drunk
enness in the county. 1t requires great
vigilance on the part of officers to pro-
liquor, and it is here that more activity
is needed if anywhere.
"There is good reason to believe that
much drunkenness is caused by lack
OF care in sales at the agencies. The
municipal officers are largely response
BILE for this. They are given the power
by statute to prescribe regulations to
govern the agents in making sales, and
the statute also regulates their duties
and liabilities. 1t ought to be easy to
detect violators of these regulations.
ION the whole the law appears to be
fairly we'll enforced in this county, yet
1t is evident that the limit of vigilance
has by no means been reached"

A Successful Master Builder and Marine
Architect.

A Successful Master Builder and Marine
Architect.
The R0ckland Courier. Gazette gives the
following interesting sketch of John j.
Wardwell, master-builder at the Cobb But
Ter shipyard, and who is well known by
many of our readers:
Coming from a shipbuilding family, Mr..
Wardwell has spent his life in the work of
constructing vessels. He was born in Pc
nObscOt in 1852 and is the son of David S.
Stockton in 1864, where he was foreman in
the yard of n. G. HichbOrn, at that time a
well known shipbuilder.
At the age of IA young Wardwell began
his career as a shipbuilder. working under
his father. He assisted in building many
square riggers ranging from 800 to 500 tons,
which in those days were thought to be
large vessels.
The schooner Walter E. Palmer, 16O tons.
built in 1873, was the first vessel young
Wardwell constructed as master builder,
being at that time 81 years of age Later
ne built the barks Elmiranda and George
klrmelberg.
In 1885, Mr. Wardwell moved to Camden,
where he was employed in the Bean ship
yard as master builder. During his i3
years stay in Camden he modelled and
built the well known six-master George W.
VcllS, Gu0 uVc-llldStCI Vdu Al0uS bOugltOn
and the fOur-master Katherine d. Perry,
all of which show superior sailing qualities
and are excellent carriers, making good
money for their owners.
In 1900. Mr.. Wardwell went to Rockland,
having accepted the position as master
builder at the Cobb Butler yard, where his
latest and fastest creations have been
built.
Among the most famous of his Rockland
models is the Jacob NJ. Haskell, known as
the 'Flying Haskell" on account of her
fast sailing qualities. The Marion n Cobb,
Ellen Little and Robert H. McCurdy have
been built by designer Wardwell, and they
are all fine sailers, with large carrying
capacity.
Mr.. Wardwell has just completed models
| this spring in the Cobb Butler yard, one to
| be on the same lines as the Ellen Little and
the second on those of the Robert II. Nc
| Curdy
| Mr.. Wardwell also modelled and built
the steamer Monhegan of the Portland and
Rockland line, which has won great praise
this past winter as an ice breaker.
Mr.. Wardwell is ably assisted in his
work by his son, David b. Wardwell, who
acts as foreman of the yard, and although a
very young man is very capable, as was
shown at the launching of the Ellen Little.
when the elder Wardwell slipped on the
ice, breaking his leg. Young Wardwell
| stepped in at once and took charge, having
one of the best launches ever seen at the
yard.
MIR. Wardwell takes great pride in his
vessels and he thinks the Governor Powers,
recently launched and modelled by him.
will give all of his earlier models a hard
run, light or loaded.

the question of proper administration
Of the public domain. With the excep-
ton of the influx of immigration due to
mining excitement, the population is
at a standstill and must continue to
remain so until farm lands are thrown
open to settlement in small tracts
through government irrigation.
STEALING AWAY THE STATE.
When the State was admitted to the
Union, in place of receiving the usual
donation of alternate school sections
IS and 80 in each township-she secured
fiat grant from the government of
two million acres of public land to be
located wherever her law makers saw
fit. The State legislature passed as
much as desired of this great>and valu-
able resource into private ownership OF
stockmen, at as low figure as 23 cents
an acre. These lands have been located
up and down the sides of every river
and stream and around every spring
and water hole in the State, SO that
while Nevada has today some 60 million
acres of public land, there is not a
quarter section of it upon which a
homesteader could make living. The
land granted to the State for school
purposes-disposed of by the State for
mess of pottage controls the lands
of the State.
The governments irrigation, when
worked out, will Immediately double
Nevada's population; it will provide a
new life blood of settlement and citizen
ship for region of unsurpassed agri-
culture.
This great reclamation scheme for
the rebuilding of Nevada is being
carried into operation by Engineer
L. H. Taylor, under the supervision of
Frederick H. Newell, Chief Engineer
of the Reclamation Service. 1t will
afford the first practical example of the
operations of the new national irriga-
ton law. GUY ELLIOTT MITCHELL.
