BERNH4RDT OUTFITS TRUST.
Denied Playhouses by Theatre Com
binc, She Plays to Vast Audience
in Tent.

Nine. Sarah Bernhardt. the cele-
bratcd actress has entered the arena
as n trust buster" When she made
preparations for bookings in Texas,
she found the playhouscs of the state
closed to her on account OF her re-
lfusal to appear under the patronage
OF the theatre syndicate. In Texas,
therefore, she was compelled to appear
in n tent. A week or two ago, novel
method OF producing a play was in
auguratcd at Dallas. when Sarah
played Camille" in big circus tent,
with an audience of 5000 persons.
During the performance fully 10000
persons crowded around the tent and
would have paid to get in II 1t had
been big enough. As II was the tent
only seated 1900 and 500 had to stand
or sit on the ground. 1t was the most
novel wild west show ever seen. The
tent was huge affair, and from the
outside looked big enough to house
three ringcd circus.
The novelty of playing in a circus
tent appealed to the actress and she
gave her Interpretation of the char
actcr of Camille" rs naturally, as
clcvcrly. and with as much force and
power as II confronted by an audience
OF New Workers. or Parisians in the
most modern OF theatres. The thou
sands who greeted Nine. Bcrnhardt at
Dallas desired as much to show their
Endorsement OF her fight against the
trust as to be entertained by her
matchlcss talent MS an actress.

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
keting 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 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 &C
cessible factories, and have borne thh

timber under the direction of the
Government Forestry Bureau. A
corps of experts was sent into the
Maine woods and a close study made
of the trees growing on each acre

was agreed upon which assures a per-
petual supply Of timber. No tree un-
der nine inches in diameter is to be

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 Maina about 54.-
900 horse power is now utilized, and
recent state report says that $4,000 ad-
ditional horse power is available
from this stream alone.
Beyond doubt the railroads of
Maine are responsible for the open
ing and developr 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
vast amount of valuable territory
was being ignored. and built branch
lines into the wilderness" until now
there are nearly 500 miles Of tracks

Generations.
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

under direction of the Interior Depart
mcnt. 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
nt pnwhuskn, 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
crnmcnt, and their scope Is greatly
widcncd 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 Mt
the annuity payments.
Used Indian Labor.
While Mother Katherine's benefac-
tions have always been liberal, 1t is
her plan to let the Indians do the work
whenever possible, In the construction
OF buildings and work OF u similar
character. When the Sacred Heart
school burned five years ago. and was
rebuilt Pottawntomic and kickapoo
Indians made the brick for the new
structure, and did much of the work
towards Its construction, working. OF
course, under the direction of white
contractor. Much of the maintenance
of this school, which Is claimed to be
the Oldest west Of the Mississippi river,
In borne by Mother Katherine, anl II
was by her visits to this school that
she discovered Albert Ncgnhnquet. the
fullblood Pottawatomie boy educated
by her. and who Is now the only full
blood Indian Catholic priest In the
world. After his graduation at Sacred
Heart, she paid his expenses through
Carlisle and the Catholic university at
Washington, finally finishing his edu-
cation at Rome, from whence he re-
turned only two years ngo, to take up
his work among his own people.

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 4 small branch OF
the Penohscot River where a drop or
one hundred and fifty feet furnishes
s5. 900 horsepower. From this mill
is turned out each day between 16O
and $50 tons of newspaper, made from
wood pulp.
It is commonly supposed that paper

victory in the Sea OF Japan. 1t was
the British naval attache on board
Togo's flagship who hurried home
after that battle and warned the Ad'
miralty OF the needs Of the British
navy, and this brought about the con
struction of the Dreadnaucht. Now

The Navy Department has secured
full information concerning the plans
of the Dreadnaught, and the arrange

that it is known exactly what umst be

In order that the department may

Provisions for Ship,
This provision for the new American

OF the President and the earnest re-

who recently appeared before the
Naval Committee OF the House and
gave n spirited talk in support OF his
views rs TO the necessity OF Con-
structing larger and more powerful
battleships for the American Navy
At the time the naval estimates were
made up last fall, Secretary Bonaparte
was opposed TO any such increase, but
he has since come around to the side
OF the President. and Is now heartily
in favor OF the committee proposition.
The naval experts in Washington
have long been convinced that the
16.OOO-ton battle ships Michigan and
South Carolina. authorized by the last
Congress, represent the limit of pos j.
bility ON displacement not decidedly
greater. To go beyond, in any ap-
preciable degree, the fighting efficiency
Of such ships. 1t will be necessary to
have not only more powerful arma
ment, but higher speed and greater
steaming radius. to gain which there
must be heavier and more powerful
machinery and greater coal-carryins
capacity.
The displacement OF the Dread
naught is but 1900 tons greater than
that of the Michigan or the South
Carolina. Naval construction ex-
