necessary to develop high speed, or
the greater bunker capacity essential
to wider steaming radius. They point
out that in the Dreadnaught it was at
tempted to preserve two of these
factors, gun power and speed, but that
to do so it was necessary to sacrifice
the armor protection, which they be-
lieve such a battleship should have
No Limit to Cost.
No sacrifice in armament, speed, or
steaming radius will have to be made
in designing the new Constitution.
The only limitation placed upon the
Secretary of the Navy by the Naval
Affairs Committee is that her hull and
machinery shall not cost more than
$G,000,O00. The provision for the bat
tleships Michigan and South Carolina,
now the largest ships building for the
navy, was 100000 each, and there
is no doubt in the minds of the men,
bers of the committee that il the
Secretary decides to go to 10000 tons
or beyond, the extra $2,0OO,0O0 now
provided will easily accomplish it.
1t is estimated that the armor and
armament for the ship will cost some
where in the neighborhood Of $500
600 in addition to the hull and ma
chinery, and that other fittings will
bring the total for the new Constitu-
ton up approximately to $10,OO0,OO0.
The Dreadnaught is planned to
carry ten 12-inch rifles. The Nichi-
gan and South Carolina are to carry
eight Pinch guns. The Dreadnaught
will be able to concentrate six guns
for bow or stern fire, with eight on
either broadside, while the American
ships can use four guns dead ahead or
dead astern, and all eight ahead or
asterD on quarterng fire, with all
eight on either broadside. SO that in
point Of fire they are nearly as eff
ficient as the Dreadnaught, which ex-
GELS materially only in the single
point of speed. To counterbalance
Ibis the American ships have the de-
cided advantage in armor protection.
The Advantage of Guns.
The Constitution will have as high
speed as the Dreadnaught, and the
llouble advantage over the British
ship of greater gun power and more
complete armor protection. She will
be more able to inflict blows and bet
ter able to withstand them. She Will
carry twelve 12-inch rifles, so ar
ranged that she can concentrate eight |
Of them in firing dead ahead or dead |
lstern, or off the bow or quarter, and |
ten on either broadside.

been made, as nature has done SO
much and man so little.
More than 1000 square miles, or
2, 100000 acres, of land still remain
ployed and unimproved, waiting
for capital and brains to make it yield
large returns. The resources are al
most beyond limit or belief.
Thousands of Lakes and Rivers.
In this state alone there are over
five thousand rivers and streams with
more than fifteen hundred lakes as
reservoirs, to furnish power for in
Vulnerable manufacturing plants.
Besides natural water power, Maine
is rich in timber, which in this age
is most valuable asset.
The timber lands of northern Maine
can, with judicious management, be
made to yield for generation after
generation and supply vast amount
of lumber and wood pulp. The larg-
est paper mill in the world, is located
at Millinocket on a small branch of
the Penobscot River where a drop or
one hundred and fifty feet furnishes
$4,000 horsepower. From this mill
is turned out each day between 100
and $50 tons Of newspaper, made from
wood pulp.
1t is commonly supposed that paper
making from wood-pulp is one of
the greatest menaces to our forests,
but exactly the opposite is the case,
where the forests are handled intelli-
gently.
The modern policies adopted by
many paper makers in regard to per-
petuating the forests are doing much
for the cause of forestry.
One Maine company has secured the
ownership of 100000 acres of forest

lands and placed the cutting Of all
timber under the direction OF the
Government Forestry Bureau. A
corps of experts was sent into the
Maine woods and close study made
Of the trees growing on each acre
Of this company's holdings. A plan
was agreed upon which assures per-
petual supply of timber. No tree I'M
der nine inches in diameter is to be
cut. At the end of sixteen years the
spruce growth will have renewed it.
self again and under this plan the en-
tire three hundred thousand acres
may be cut over every sixteen years.
At Rumford Falls on the Andres
coggin in western Maine about 54,-
900 horse power is now utilized, and a
recent state report says that $4,000 adj
ditional horse power is available
from this stream alone.
Beyond doubt the railroads OF
Maine are responsible for the OPEN
ing and developm Vt Of the upper half
of this state, as -: years ago only
thirty or forty mics of railway were
built north Of the centre and manu-
featuring or farming was almost un-
known above this point.
Capitalists at last realized what a
vast amount of valuable territory
was being ignored. and built branch
lines into the wilderness" until now
there are nearly 500 miles of tracks
connecting thriving cities and villages
which have sprung up in the wake Of
the steel bands.
TIE advent OF the railroad in
Charlevoix county herald. (East Jordan, Mich.) 189?-1953, 1906-04-28

northern Maine has increased the
value of timber lands over $50 per
cent and timber which before was too
remote has become available for mar
ksting purposes.
Capital from Canada.
1t is to be regretted perhaps from
an American standpoint that large
part of the capital employed in devel-
oping this new old state has been
furnished by Canadian capitalists
rather than by New Englanders them
selves.
The farming possibilities Of Maine
are almost as great as the water pow
er and timber business offer, as 1t has
been demonstrated that the soil and
climate are particularly adapted to
the raising of potatoes on large
scale; over 10000 bushels having been
shipped to various parts Of the coun
try in 1904.
The railroad officials realized from
the start tn =. in order to settle and
build up untry through which
their brancL ran the freight rates
must be low enough to enable manu-.
facturers to compete with more ac-
cessible factories, and have borne this

When one stops to think OF the
tremendous and almost magic growth
Of the distant West it seems strange
that such an old state as Maine is still
largely unknown and unsettled.
Almost Immediately after the Revo-
lutionary War the settlement of
Maine began by inhabitants of other
parts of New England and its growth
mas been steady and sure, with the
exception of the years of, and imme-
diately following the Civil War. TIE
population, however, has been almost
entirely confined to the lower half of
the state and only very recently have
the immense possibilities and re-
sources of the northern half been re-
allied.
1t is estimated that at least 300,-
900 natives of Maine are scattered
throughout the other parts of the
country at the present time. Had
this vast army remained to devel-
op their native state 1t Is impossible
to realize the change that would have

Nine. Sarah Bernhardt, the cele

preparations for bookings in Texas,
she found the playhouses Of the state
closed to her on account Of her re-
fusal to appear under the patronage
of the theatre syndicate. In Texas,
therefore, she was compelled to appear
in tent. A week or two ago, novel
method OF producing q play was in
augurated at Dallas. when Sarah
played Camille" i'm n big circus tent,
with an audience of 5000 persons.
During the performance fully 10000
persons crowded around the tent and

been big enough. AS it was the tent

or sit on the ground. 1t was the most
novel wild west show ever seen. The
tent was a huge affair, and from the
outside looked big enough to house a
three ringed circus.
The novelty of playing in a circus
tent appealed to the actress and she

lily approves it, in common with the
other members of the family. All of
the millions she has expended Tor In
dian education have been employed
under direction of the Interior Depart
ment, as her long study Of the Indian
problem is recognized to have made
her one of the best authorities on the
subject in the country.
Planned the Buildings Personally.
The st. Louis and st. John schools
Mt Pawhuska, both founded by Mother
Katherine a number of years ago. are
good examples of the work she is do
ing for the education Of the Indians.
Both have handsome and commodiouS
buildings, planned personally by
Mother Katherine, and have given
hundreds of Usage children their first
knowledge of the white mans learning.
MANY of the teachers are themselves
Indians graduates of these or similar
schools. who have entered with en-
thusiasm into the education OF their
fellow tribesmen. The Usage SCHOOLS
receive some assistance from the gov
eminent, and their scope is greatly
widened by the orders now in effect
from the agents office that every
Usage child of school age must be in
school in order to draw its share at
the annuity payments.
Used Indian Labor.
While Mother Katherine's benefac-
lions have always been liberal, 1T is
h, .,fap to let the Indians do the work
whenever possible, in the construction
of buildings and work OF similar
character. When the Sacred Heart
school burned five years ago, and was
rebuilt Pottawatomie and kickapoo
Indians made the brick for the new
structure, and did much of the work
towards it's construction, working, OF
course. under the direction of white
contractor. Much of the maintenance

the oldest west of the Mississippi river.

was nv her visits to this school that
she discovered Albert Negahnquet, the
fullblood Pottawatomie boy educated
by her. and who is now the only full-
blood Indian Catholic priest In the
world. After his graduation ut Sacred
Heart. she paid his expenses through
Carlisle and the Catholic university at
Washington. finally finishing his edu-
cation Mt Rome. from whence he re-
turned only two years ago, TO take up

1t was beset by many difficulties dur
ing it's earlier years, but survived them
all and is now a fiourishing institution.
The institutions which have pros
pered the most, and i'm which Mother
Katherine has taken the greater inter
est. are, however, naturally these
among the tribes which were already
under the influence of Catholic teach
ings, the OsageS and the Potta-
watomies. The Osages had of course
been instructed in the Catholic faith,
before their removal from Southern
Kansas, by the fathers at the old
Usage missions, now st. Paul, first I'M
der the directions of the venerable
Father Schumacher, and later under
Father Paul Ponziglione, near rela-
tive of the royal family of Italy, who
made many journeys among the
Osages after their removal to the terri
tory. Father Scroll. of Independence,
Kan, also used occasionally to follow
the trails through what is now Okla
homa as far west as Fort Sill.
The beginning of the work among
the Pottawatomies was also made as
far back as 1871. when Father Robot,

then had jurisdiction over this terri
tory, and struck out into the Indian
country. He settled first at Atoke, but

that three and half million dollars
a year more is spent for chewing gum

words 81 100000 is spent for gum
and only $7,500,000 for missions.
