We spoke few days ago OF the
fondness of the twin cities Of st. Paul
and Minneapolis for electing Maine
men to represent them in Congress.
Congressman Stevens, for a dozen
years the representative of the st.
Paul district, and Congressman
Fletcher, for an equally long time thu:
representative of the Minneapolis dis
trict, are both Maine men. and now the
latter city has named Frank NJ. Nye,
native OF Piscatauuis county. to succeed
Mr.. Fletcher 1t seems that these three
gentlemen are not the only Maine-born
men to be similarly hOnored in those
cities for a correspondent reminds Us
that one of the predecessors Of Mr.
Stevens from the St. Paul district was
Hon. John T. Averill, who was born
on "A farm near Center Montville down
in Waldo county.

The gain of two Republican congress-
men in the state of Kentucky follows
an attempt of the Democratic leslsla-
ture to gerrymander the congressional
district in the hope Of preventing the
Republicans from electing more than
one congressman at the best. The at
tempt was evidently not successful
from the Democratic point OF view
Where there are two Republicans IN
Congress from Kentucky at present
there will be four in the next Con-
eress. and the Republican gains

Things on the Planet Mars

Prof. Percival Lowell, who is deliv-
e,Ing lectures in Boston. is telling lots
OF new things about Mars. This emil
nent astronomer has long been busy at
the Lowell observatory at Flagstaff,
AriZ., which is said to be ideally stu
ated for observations, and TIE profess
sor has recorded the results of years
of interchangeable study and earnest re-
Election. Professor Lowell is satisfied
that Mars is habit,ble ami inhabted--
that it is peopled by beings even moro
intellectual and advanced than our
selves. This is rather calculated to
grieve the true Bostonian, by the way.
In his popular lectures Professor
Lowell dwells on the more picturesque
and romantic phases of the question
zones of luXuriant vegetation, the
stretches Of desert, the dust clouds
that he has observed on Mars. He
reverts to the Marian Canals" and
expresses the opinion that the bands

| are no seas. on Mrs, AMI the s.lt
| source of moisture is in the melting
polar SHOWS, which 10 for the Mal;ians
what the Nile do,s for the Egyptians.
The winters are rather cold on Mars
| but the summers are long and warm
and on the whole the inhabitants ar.
in easy circumstances of temperature
The landscape is level, but there i:
compensation in the extraordinary pur
| ity of the air, the brilliancy of the sky
All the evidence leads Professor Lowell
to infer that there is high order o
life on Mars. The mind of the Mar
tian is revealed by his works. by hi
control of his physical environment
Besides life is much older there, ant
| than the inhabitants of this terraque
Gus planet to develop his brain and hi
social nature. Professor Lowell is in
| clined to think, however. that with al
their superiority the Marian philoso
piers are in the dark as to the state
affairs on the earth. He believe
them to hold that life is impossible o.
our little globe-and i'm this respect. a
any rate the jokes on them. 1t ma
be. however, that they know 10
more about US than we do at presen
about them. Perhaps we shall kno'
more some day.

Vilette.' is in the northern quarter OF
the city; "Vaugirard," which was OPEN
ed in 1898, and replaced the old slaugh-
ter-house of Grenelle; and "Villejuif,"
where horses are slain for food. Any
butcher may slaughter animals at these
abattoirs on payment of a tax of
francs Gao cents) hundred Kilograms
GEO poundS) on the meat so presumed.
Butchers of the more important class
and specially licensed are permitted to
sell the meat which they have thus
provided directly to the smaller dealers
who keep retail meat stores throughout
the city. Inspectors are in constant at
tendance and any meat found infected
with disease or otherwise unfit for food
is saturated with petroleum and con-
demned. Prior to the year 1910 the
butchers of Paris slaughtered animals
in the streets and public squares. but
at that time municipal slaughter
houses "abattoirs''-were established
where animals intended for food are in
spected and the whole process OF
slaughtering and disposal Of the mea,
and offal are kept under the official

Virginia is seriously troubled about
the size of it's public debt and its in
ability to make it smaller. The debt
must be heavy burden since it
amounts to more than $24.OOO.OOO Only
one other state in all the Union has d
debt exceeding it or even approaching
it. West Virginia, which was carved
out of Virginia during the Civil War.
is one of the few states wholly free
from debt and perhaps this explains
in some measure the heavy debt under
which the mother state is staggering.
The only state with a debt larger than
Virginia is Massachusetts whose pub
lie debt is about $4,000, 900, most of
which. however. might with propriety
be classed as municipal Indebtedness.
states are free from debt, or at least
so nearly so that their debts are not
to be spoken of as a burden. In the
South. however. many states are still
heavily in debt. Next to Virginia
comes Tennessee with 81. 726, 900, Louis
lana with $lS.60O,OOO. Alabama witt
$12126.OOO. with North Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia close behind
The combined debt of all the states a
present is $2S4.3l4.14O as against tn
national debt of 1926. .6s7 and a mu
nicipal debt of 1887 .27s, 56S. The debt
of the states are rapidly declining an
there are now nearly 20 states who's
debts are less than a million dol,a,
each.

BEAVER COUNTY MINE
CUTTING RICH ORES
Progressive Company Gets Into
Resources Much Sooner
Than Expected.

In the great season Of prosperity
and remuneration that is rewarding
property owners in Beaver county, the
Progressive Mining company, composed
in part Of Salt Lake investors, has been
extremely fortunate in securing its
share of results in mineral way. In
sinking the shaft upon what is known
as the Kathleen claim, ore has been en-.
countered that assays 9.S per cent cop.
per, 6l ounces silver and 81 in gold.
The property Of the Progressive com
pany is located near the Burning Mos
cow property, the surface indications
upon the group have been all that the
owners could desire, and the results be.
ing obtained at this time are doubly
gratifying, owing to the fact that the
management anticipated that at least
three or four weeks longer would be
necessary before tapping into any of
the rich resources of the company. Just
how much of this rich ore is in the
shaft cannot be stated until further
work has been done, but from all ap-
pearances the management has every
reason to expect some very encourag ging
developments within a short time.
