The voters of Skowhegan are to meet
at Engine Hall, Saturday afternoon, at
two O'Clock, to consult regarding a town
hall, the special proposition for which
this meeting is called being the pur-
chase Of lot on Water street, made
vacant by the recent fire, and the cree
ton OF a town building thereon. The
REPORTER has always held that 1t would
be better for the town If a suitable audi
forum could be built as private enter
prise, but il none OF our citizens can
evolve a plan for investing their money
ia such building on terms which the
voters will accept as equitable, and that
will al the same time yield fair return
on the investment, it certainly is the part
of wisdom to consider the erection of a
building with an audience room for town
meetings and other large gatherings, by
the municipality. If it is found desir.
able for the town TO build its own hall,
it would seem as though the present
opportunity was favorable one for ac
curing lot admirably located for the
purpose.

7. is probable that on Monday next
the four peace commissioners represent
mo Russia and Japan, will meet at the
nagy ward in Kittery, in this State, and
booin the negotiations In which the
uboe world is interested. There will
no a,cks of correspondents, every lead
inc newspaper being interested.
A soon as the MAY )wer' with the
Russian representatives on board and
the nDophin" bearing those from japan
have anchored off the navy yard, Rear
ADMIRAL W. W. Meade will then visit
both vessels, going first to the May
e,wer and then to the Dolphin. Upon

sldered. and the conference will END

An Action of Trespass.

A suit which will be OF considerable
interest to Skowhegan people has been
brought by Walter S. Gushing against
George II. Webb, Skowhegan's street
commissioner. 1t is an action for tres
pass. Nineteen years ago street was
laid cut from West Front street TO the
bank of the Kennebec river, which is
known as Turner avenue. At the same
time short street, since known as
Bridge street, was also laid out from
Turner avenue to Alder street. This
street runs over land which the plaintiff
claims belongs to him. He alleges that
no authority was given for the laying
out OF this street at the time that Turner
avenue was surveyed, and also that no
damages were received at the time for
the land taken to build the same. | is
claimed, therefore, that on going on this
street to make repairs the street CON-
missioner Is trespassing, as the piece Of
highway, Bridge street, is a private
way. Mr.. Gushing brings suit at this
time, for the reason that il he waited
another year the land would revert to
the town as it would then have been &C.
cupied 20 years as highway.

1t is now evident that the most impor-
tant matters to come before the extraor-
binary session of Congress which Pres
Roosevelt intends to call for November
II will relate to the canal at Panama.
Whether the work shall be prosecuted
under the direction of the Secretary of
War or of the Secretary of State is not
question requiring new legislation.
Full authority in this respect is with the
President as the canal law now stands
He can attach the Canal Commission to
any Department that he peases to
select. Congress and the people of the
country have full confidence in Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and he will doubtless
have full swing in the matter of building
the canal.
