Waldo County R. F. D. Carriers.

To the Rural Carriers of Waldo County
Having been chosen your secretary for the
year 1906 | extended to you all a hearty
greeting and promised you when elected,
my best efforts for the welfare of the asSo-
citation; but bear in mind that my efforts
will be in vain unless you give me your
hearty support, and the way to give it is for
each and every one to join the association
and put your shoulder to the wheel and help
put the rural carriers in their proper class.
There is not carrier in Waldo county who
has one excuse for not becoming member.
If you can't attend, send fifty cents and
and July l, which pays all dues and
charges The post office department has
already expressed wish that we receive
more pay.
Our congressman are also with US and
will do all in their power to help US; but
they like to see a man who is willing to
help himself and if we do not show our will
lingness to back them up we must not kick
if our members of Congress fail in their eff
forts in our behalf.
for one am looking for better times for
all carriers; but we must not depend on a
few to do it all; it needs every one to ac-
complish desired results. Now, brother
carriers, the annual meeting will be held at
Monroe, Jan. 1, 1907; election of officers for
the ensuing year, and Semi-annual dues of
seventy-fve cents come due from all men,
bers in good standing. So brace up, boys,
and let us all be at Monroe; if you can't
come, send money. Hoping that every car
rier not already enrolled may do so at once
and help the work along,
am very truly yours,
FRANK L. HATCH.

Legislative Kennebec Journal.

Every intelligent person in Maine will
want to keep close watch upon the pro-
ceedings at Augusta this winter. Matters
of great interest to all are sure to have early
attention ut the hands Of the legislators.
In fact, this session gives promise of being
the most important and interesting for many
years. The subject of taxation alone, which
It is proposed to fully consider and revise,
will be intensely interesting to every tax
payer in the State. The question of resub-
mission, uniform insurance law, and
many other important matters will be at
the front the coming winter. The Kenne,,
bee Journal is the official State paper, and
consequently the only paper in Maine which
publishes the official stenOgraphic reports
of the legislative proceedings. These re-
ports are continuous and complete. In ad-
dition to the stenographers-onei in the Sen
ate and two in the House-the Journal will
have a full corps of special reporters who
will keep a sharp watch on the committees
and other matters of interest connected with
the session. All the hearings and notices
are advertised in the Kennebec Journal.
hence If you keep careful watch in this
paper nothing can escape your notice. The

AMERICAN MERCHANT MARINE.
Report of the Commissioner Of Navigate

Report of the Commissioner Of Navigation.
The annual report of Commissioner
of Navigation Chamberlain, just is
sued, says that on July sun last the
documented merchant vessels of the
United States numbered $4,000, of g.
674. $50 gross tons. The report urges
the enactment of the Merchant Marine
Commission bill, which has passed the
Senate, including the provision of
American mail lines to South America,
and fayors the bill to abolish the dis
elimination against coasting vessels in
pilotage charges in the States from Vir-
pinia to Texas. A summary of the re-
port follows:
"The years construction was 1921
vessels, of 418, 745 gross tons. Only
three ocean steamers were built. On
the great lakes 40 steamers, of 232, 1866
gross tons were built. The tonnage
built during the current fiscal year, up
to November 10th, aggregated 2O3, 900
and if the present rate of construction
is not checked by strikes or delays in
furnishing structural steel the output
of our shipyards will be the largest in a
half century and will be close to the
output of 5S3, 900 tons, in 1855, the year
of our greatest construction. During
the year only - per cent of the exports
and imports of the United States were
carried in American vessels"
Quoting the resolution in favor of
steamship communications adopted by
the Pan-American conference at Rio
Janeiro last August, Commissioner
Chamberlain publishes a list of all the
vessels in trade between the United
States and South America during the
first six months of this year. An
American merchant steamer, he says,
is never seen in the ports of Brazil,
Argentina, Uruguay, Chill or Peru, and
only thirty-two American barks or
schooners, manned by about three hun
dred and fifty men, entered or cleared
in six months in South American trade.
Steam communication under any flag
with South America from our Atlantic
ports is virtually confined to New York,
entries at other ports being generally
incident to a New York voyage. He
adds:
ga square rugged vessel has not been
built in the United States since 1902,
and of our once great fleet of ships,
barks and barkentines, only 276, of 322,-
900 gross TONS remain. Some of them
will never make another voyage. The
completion of the Tehuantepec Rail
road next year will probably deprive
such vessels of employment in moving
the Hawaiian sugar crop"
The report says that of 126, 1854 men
shipped 37,676 were natives, 23,456
Americans, and the remain
der aliens.

the threads of the work of expansion
northward? In this question all North
ern Maine, both in its active and al
ready developed and its greater poten-
tial interests, is very deeply interested.
Win the road be pushed ahead, seeking
new fields and creating new business,
carrying along with it the great and
rich county it serves in a constantly
broadening prosperity, or will it halt,
and by its suspense of the work of
further expansion measurably arrest
further industrial development? For
all answer to this question one has to
turn to the man whose energy and re-
sourcefulness are chiefly responsible
for what has already been accomplish
ed. The measure of what may be ex-
pected in future is very largely the
measure of the vitality and endurance
he yet has in reserve to expend in
further effort and labor. If it is given
to him to live and work for twelve
years to come as he has done for twelve
years past, the probable service he will
render our county in the rounding out
of the great work to which the best
years of his life have already been de-
voted, will be vastly helpful and fruit
full of good
Is it anything unreasonable to ask
for him in this work the measure OF
public approval and appreciation that
he deserves, and that he may meet
with helpful cooperation rather than
discouraging antagonism?
In the course of a following article
or articles reference will be made to
further features of possible public in
terest in connection with the Stockton
terminal, among them, what is being
done bearing upon the agricultural iu-
tereStS of ArooStoOk.

"The Old Blue Bear and the Rabbit"

An unpublished poem by Eugene Field is
a rare literary treat for both old and young.
The wonderful sympathy and love for his
children shows strongly in these verses
from the poem published in the December
number of the Woman's Home Companion
for the first time:
A big blue Bear came up one day
And to the Rabbits ma said he:
"l've come to take Your child away
To roam the fields and woods with me. "
Then Rabbits mamma said "Oh, no,
You big blue Bear, you shall not take
My little Rabbit wandering so
Unless you've lots of jelly-cake."
The Bear replied, sYou need not fear
To let the Rabbit go with me,
For have lots of goodies here,
AS you yourself can plainly see."
And saying thus, the old blue Bear
Back from his bag the cover threw,
And mamma saw the goodies there
The jelly-cake and candy, too.

ties of industrial expansion.
Nothing could be more vital to this
future expansion up to the limit of
possibility than the opening OF the new
Seaport terminal. The launching of
the point in the industrial history of
Northern Maine when a great and pro-
,ductive section of country, having
reached the limit of development
through present means of transporta-
ton, breaks through its limitations,
and enters upon system broader and
more adequate. This broader system
would never have been created but for
the fact of the B. & A. railroad having
at it's head man big and broad enough,
in both ability and enterprise, to meas
ure up to the full demands of the in
dustrial situation in bis field.
The building up of the terminal nee
essariiy suspended for the time being
the policy of expansion which the man.
agemeut of the road had been pursuing
as regards increased mileage, though
expansion in the way of improvement
in station yards, sidings and equipment
has been in active evidence, the item of
increase of rolling stock having, coin
cidently with the period of construction
of the seaport extension and terminal
facilities, absorbed more than $2,000,-
600.
The Stockton Springs proposition is
now an accomplished fact, though it
must necessarily require time for all
the conditions involved in it in the way
of traffic relations and arrangements to
reach full and satisfactory adjust
ment. Is there, the work at Stockton
completed, to be a re-gathering up OF

BoundIesH.

Far and away stretched the waving
grasses and the low hills.
On and on wandered the little boy.
He did not know where he was, and
yet he did not weep.
He was a very brave little lad and
a mere child withal, so that, although
he had lost his bearings, was not
alarmed.
For did he not have his nice new
rubber ball with him? And would it
not be fine to bounce it about over the
hard, smooth ground?
Selecting a spot bare of grass he
threw the ball down, with all his
might.
But it lay Hfeless just where 1t had
alighted.
Again the puzzled lad threw 1t down,
but the resilient gutta percha spheroid
lay dead and inert exactly as it had
fallen.
Then, as the fearful truth broke
upon the lad, he broke forth into walls
of despair. He was on the boundless

A TWice-TnId Tale.

A Massachusetts lawyer has a notori-

This failing occasionally leads him to
garble joke in repeating it. Recent
ly he met friend, who, clapping him
upon the shoulder, said enthusiastical-
ly:
well, old man, this is a fine day for
the race, isn't it?"
why, what racer"
1.-The human race" said the friend
and fed.
This was the first time the lawyer
had ever heard this very ancient joke,
so he determined to get it off on the
next man he met-and he did, in this
manner:
Hello, Godfrey, isn't this fine day
for the trot?'
"Trot-what trotT'
by gad," stammered the lawyer,
Il swear there was a joke there, but l
can't find it now !"-Lippincott's.
