Justice l.. A. Emery, of Ellsworth, will
give course OF lectures before the
students at the Bangor law school about
che end of January.
two years ago Justice Emery lectured
on probate law, last year on Roman law,
and this year his subject will be; "What TO
do in Court, and How"
Judge Emery's lectures at the law school,
says the Bangor Neios, have always consti-
tuted one of its distinctive features, noted
not only by the people of Bangor and
Maine, but observed also with consider
able interest by legal institutions outside
of Maine.
LAST year, one or two lee ures were
given by Justice Emery on this subject,
and they were well attended by the mem
bers of the local bar. An invitation to be
present at this course OF possibly ten lee
lures is again extended to members OF the
bar and to citizens Of Bangor interested in
legal procedure. 1t goes without saying,
Of course, that the students Of the law
school look forward to this event with
the greatest interest"
The first lecture will be given in the
week beginning January 20.

Hodgkins, store, Eden. Burned.


:. EDEN, Dec. 30 Especially The general
store of John L. Hodgkins, at Eden, was
burned about 1888 o'clock last night.
When discovered the fire was bursting
through the outside walls. Butler Grant
gave the alarm. The fire was then SO far
underway that it was i'm possible TO enter
the store. Mr.. Hodgkins burst in the
door, and saved a few small articles near
the door.
The wind drofs the sparks over the
buildings OF B. v. Grant and l.. Alley,
but fortunately the rain OF the day had
soaked the roofs and thsrs was little dan
ger of fire from the sparks.

Report on the Isthmian Canal.

The report of the Isthmian canal
commission has been made public,
and it shows great Improvement in
conditions on the isthmus under
American administration. The report
does not claim that any actual work
has been done on the canal.
True, 1,0O0,o 1000 cubic yards OF earth
have been removed, but that was done
largely to clear the workings for ac-
tive operations and as an experiment
to practically determine the cost OF
excavation as a basis for future calcu-
lations. What has been done, how
ever, 10 to make the isthn1us habita-
BILE place. and tie sanitation work that
has been done is worth all it has cost,
and will shorten by several years the
actual work of digging the canal.

The friends of the ship subsidy bill
have outlined new plan of subsidies
which it is declared a ill not be a great
drain on the treasury, and which viii.
add largely to American tonnage, to
the ship building industry at home,
and will furnish large naval reserve
analogous to the national guard on
shore. 1t is figured by the friends Of
the measure that it will not cost more
than $1,000, 900 annually at the end of
ten years, and that it will much more
than pay for itself in the extension Of
American markets and in other adj
vantages. 1t is quite lengthy and
detailed plan, but it is doubtful If it
will stand much show in this
Congress.

FIGHTING THE BROWN TAN.

The town officials are carrying on
vigorous warfare against the brown-tail
moths which seem to be pretty numerous
here. After the lecture on the moth few
weeks ago by the State entomologist, the
selectmen offered so cents apiece for the
nests. The school BOYS, who were just
about to start in on their Christmas vaca-
ton, went hunting for the nests, and with
success, which while it put quite bit OF
money into the boys pockets, showed
that the pests were altogether too nu-
merous for the safety OF the trees about
the town.
The nests cams into the srlectmen's
Office so fast that the town fathers were
obliged to withdraw thsir Offer OF 80 cents
a nest, and for few days did not buy any
nests at all, in the mean time consulting
as to what was best to be done.
1t was evident that there were plenty of
the nests around the village and through
out the town, but the question in the
minds OF the town officers was as to
whether the voters would stand much
expense in getting rid of them. Finally
it was decided to pay Is cents apiece for
the nests, and this was done for while,
but now the selectmen are not paying cash
but are receiving the nests, taking the
names of those who bring them in and
the number of nests.
Up to the present about $3.50 has been
spent for this purpose, 800 OF which has
been contributed by the Bar Harbor
village Improvement association and the
balance has been paid by the town. Over
100 nests were taken to the selectmen's
Office Monday.

The Lewiston Journal, in a dis
cussion of the political outlook in the
State for tie coming year, says;
The care of the States strong box has
ever been alluring to the men in pub
lie life, for the work is not arduous
and the salary of $4,000 year for six
years looks not uninvitipg. The year
of 1906 will be the last year of the
Hon. Oramandel Smiths tenure of
office, for the constitution says that
no man shall hold the position of
treasurer for more than six years. To
succeed him there are two candidates,
Pascal P. Gilmore, of Bucksport, and
Kendall M. Dunbar, of Damariscotta.
Mr.. Gilmore has been State liquor
agent. Mr.. Dunbar is the secretary
of the Senate. Both candidates have
wide acquaintance, are experienced
campaigners, and have many pledges
already nailed down. Attorney
General Hamlin, State Assessor Simp-
son and Commissioner of Agriculture
Gilman have no opponents within
their party, and are due to be re-
elected in accordance with party
custom.

The great floating dry dock, Dewey,
has started on its long cruise to Ma
Mia. The journey from Chesapeake
bay is about 1000 miles, and it is ex-
pected it will take from three to six
months to make the trip. The dock
is under the convoy of three auxiliary
cruisers and big ocean going tug.
The dock itself and all of the ships
are equipped with wireless apparatus,
SO that they seldom will be out OF
touch with wireless stations or with
ocean steamers. The tolls on the dock
in going through the Suez canal will
be $4,000. 1t is the greatest feat Of
the sort ever undertaken anywhere.

GRANITE TRUST.
Rumor of Big Combination}of StoI
ington Granite Men.

Rumor of Big Combination}of Ston-
ington Granite Men.
A rumor comes from Stoningtpn by way
of Rockland that combination OF the
quarry interests there is pFbable. A
well-known granite manufacturer is
quoted as saying:
SIT is only question OF time, when
Ryan & Parker, J. C. Rodgers, Engleman
and MuIlin will control the entire granite
industry OF the eastern states"
Several of the independent granite MAN.
ufacturers have already been approached
IN regard to entering such combine. II
il thought that the combination will be
able TO develop the granite quarries OF
Maine as hey never have been developed
before, and introduce new and improved
methods of handbag the stone.
Higher prices are likely TO be received
for the stone qusrried, and government
contracts can be more easily obtained than
they can be by the individual manufac-
turars. The change will probably make
no difference in the scale OF wages paid
the stone workers, as the union schedule
prevails in all Maine quarries.
The tendency of this combine will be to
freeze out the small. yards in Boston, New
York and Philadelphia, that have hereto
fore done considerable business at quite a
large profit. 1t viii also, it is claimed,
mean big thing for Stonington, as we'll
as the other towns in Maine, as the quar-
ries there will be developed to their full
extent and many more workmen hired.

The Maine Lobster Catch.

A statement of Names lobster catch for
the year ending Nov. 80, 1905, has been
compiled by Hon. A. R. Nickerson, com
missioner of sea and shore fisheries. The
statement shows that the catch was much
larger than it was in 1904.
The total catch for the past year is rath-
err surprising, considering that during the
winter months of 1906 the weather was so
tempestuous that very few fishermen con-
tinued to fish.
The total number OF Holsters caught in
the year was ,425, 298, for which the fish

With the first issue in the new year
The AMERICAN (only county paper
enters upon its fifty second year of
progress and prosperity. Its long and
(may we be pardoned for saying it,
useful career is primarily due to the
fact that its founder and editor during
its FIRST eighteen years, the late N. K.
sawyer, was wise enough to perceive
that the road to success lay along the
line of collecting, printing and distri-
buting the news, rather than subordi-
mating this to the dissemination of
opinions, az his predecessors had done.
Along this line he began his work,
and continued it as long as he re-
manned the papers editor. He had
opinions, and he did not, on occasion,
hesitate to express them. His un-
doing was not because he did not
make good newspaper, but because
his political opinions in the early '70s
were out of touch with the times.
His successors in the editorial chair
have faithfully followed the example
he set in iewsgathering, extending it
and Improving it, until to- day The
AMERICAN has highly organized
corps of ,iers and faithful correspond
EMS in every nook and corner oil
Hancock county, when IL, OF course,
is speeiantistd vi work And il 's o
the work of this corps OF correspond
enus that the high ne~s-character of
the paper is largely due.
The development OF the daily paper
and the rapidly OF communication
due to railroad aud telegraph and
telephone naturally restrict the Geld
that can he successfully covered by
the country weekly. But in that
field the country weekly is supreme,
and is likely to remain 80.
To maintain the strength and char
acter which its predecessors gave to
it is the ambition of the present man
agement. That it has succeeded fairly
wei thus far is evidenced by the fact
that during the past two years its
average circulation has been larger
than ever before in its history
From the beginning The AMERICAN
has advocated the principles of the
republican party because those -rin
eiples have seemed to come nearer
than those OF any other party To the
ideals of good government; they
seem so o-day, and hence our main
tenance of them.
By continued persistency in news
gathering, by the maintenance of high
ideals, BY aggeessiveness without
ahusiveness, and when differing with
our noliiicai opponents, doing so with
out disc ,urtesy, we hop for coutinu
ance OF the generous patronage Of the
people of haIcocS county, whose
besa inier-sts-iudusir rial, commercial,
poll ical aud noralEit is our earnest
desire to ssrve and promote.
