EASTERN MAINE FAIR.
Continued from Page One.)

year is the record breaking number of in
dustr.al exhibits These include Cromp-
ten loom in operation, shown by the Riv-
erside Woolen Co. of Pittsfeld, and a
showing OF the latest things in telephone
improvements and electrical appliances
by the New England Telephone & Tele-
graph Co.

MUM.
The management of the fair is highly
c!atrd over the success which has thus
far attended their efforts TO make this
years far the biggest and DeSt ever held
in this section Of the state. They have
iabOred hard to get together as good a
list of attractions as possible and they
have succeeded beyond anyone's most
Sangune expectations. The fair not only
has more attractions than ever before
but the crowd In attendance yesterday
was larger than that on any correspond
ing day since the fairs were first held -
years ago.
The grounds at night are brilliantly IL
Illuminated by thousands Of colored cleo
trio lights, strung in long lines along the
avenues Of the Midway and arranged
about the tops of the buildings. The fire
works at night a feature that is APP
preciated by thousands of people who
stay on the fair grounds until evening.

come out in the evening for the express

the limit of their capacity today. ana ii
they had been called on to feed all OF

Of the grounds. eating their dinners and
enjoying the hustle of the day.
The crowd did not diminish as the day
waned manv staying on the grounds to
see the display Of fireworks at night.

\ LESSON FROM BRAZIL.

Brazil, that nation which stands for
progress and enlightenment in South
America, has conceived a plan by
which she will gradually come into
possession Of the private railroads of
that country within a few years.
a tax on railroads similar to tho
corporation tax Of Oregon, IS propos.
ed the income to go into a perpetual
sinking fund, for the purpose of buy
ing railroad stock as it accumulates.
In this way the tax on the rail-
ways will be used to buy the railroads
for the people. Each year the in,
come from the railroad tax will be
invested in railroad stock by the gov
ernment and it is estimated that
within 10 years the country will own
the railroads and the people will not
feel the burden.
Thus does Brazil solve the great
bugaboo of the purchase of the rail-
roads, which is puzzling American
statesmen.
The plan is practical and business
like and will win.

THE COMING SOCIAL CENTERs.

The first social centers" of Ameri-
ca will one day be found, not in its
densely peopled cities, but in COM
munities like that of Redlands. Cal..
where every family occupies a few
cultivated acres or "Homecroft" and
where yet all the social, educational
and religious advantages of the city
are to be enjoyed.
This combination of ample "elbow-
room" and country life with urban
facilities of contact and cooperation
is made possible by modern means of
communication and transportation
which make it really easier to main.
tain multitudinous relations of neigh
borhood in a place like Redlands,
than it was in New York or London
before the era of the telephone. the
trolley, the mail carrier, the bicycle
and the automobile. And the quality
of those relations is infinitely more
wholesome.-Maxwell's Talisman.

THE HALL OF FAME.

1t is maintained of Senator Bacon
of Georgia, that he can use more Ian
guage to conceal his thought than any
man in public life.
General Funston used to collect
botanical specimens for the depart
ment of agriculture. He is an expert
on the grasses of the northwest.
Representative Mckinley of Illinois,
is not related to the dead president.
His pricipal claim to fame is that he
is one of the richest men in congress.
The members Of the great theatre
cal firm of Klaw & Erlanger are phys
ical opposites. Klaw is little. bearded
and nervous and Erlanger is big, fat,
smooth-shaven and placid.
The recrudescence of William Jen-
nings Bryan, since his trip around the
world, was a great thing for him fl
nancially He can now get $3.50 for
magazine articles where he got but
$500 before.

STEAMERS ARE NEEDED.

More steamers on the Pacific coast
between Seattle and san Francisco
would be the most effective way Of
over coming the car shortage. If the
companies operating railroads on the
coast would enlarge their steamship
lines. it would relieve the congestion
ca the rail lines remarkably. The
slow freight could be handled by
steamer, the perishable stuff by rail
and an equilibrium could in this way
be established.
There need be no fears of a lack
of business hereafter. The opening
Of Alaska, the development of the
northwest and the growing oriental
trade insure all the business that the
steamship lines cap take care Of
Tie Pacific coast steamship lines
have been neglected. Most of the
lines now in operation have a lot OF
WORKOUT tubs in service which are
almost unseaworthy and which do no
attract trade.

TROOPS TO THIN OUT DEER.

a hunting party that is probably
unique in the history of Europe, has
been given during the last few days
in the royal forest of Rio Frio, near
La Granja, in Spain. The king Of
Spain invited a battalion of troops,
known as the Cazadores De Madrid,
to join him and the court in a big
shoot, and every member of the bat
talon, from the colonel to the latest
recruit, travelled to La Granja.
When the hunt began herds of
frightened deer dashed through the
woods before the beaters, and receiv-
ed fusilades from the fire of the ex-
cited soldiers, who proved astonish-
ingly good shots. The deer fell doz-
ems at time. The reason for holding
the battue was that the forest had be-
come so overstocked with deer that
the pasturage was insufficient The
fOresters estimated that 1t was neces-
sary to kill 1000.

AFTER WEEDS AND PESTS.

Fruit pests and noxious weeds are
going to receive a severe drubbing az
the hands Of the next legislature.
The horticultural board is enforc-
ing the law regulating spraying fruit
trees vigorously and will ask for fur
ther powers. A law regulating thresh-
ing machines and compelling them to
clean up their "muss" after threshing
at each farm will be introduced.
The spread of noxious weeds
through the farming sections of east
ern Oregon is alarming. In Umatilla
county white mustard and Russian
thistle are rapidly spreading and must
be checked. And in many places the
Goblin moth, scale and other fruit
pests are allowed to breed unmolest-
ed. This must be stopped. The repu-
tation of the county as a fruit grow
can raise as good fruit as Hood River,
Nedtord or Grants Pass and whers
nature has done so much, we must
do a little.
There is no reason why Umatilla
county apples are not selling for SO
and 81 per box in New York. II we
would clean up our orchards and
raise frst-class fruit Hood River
would not be "in It" with us.

DANGEROUS POSTAGE STAMPS.

The English postoffice authorities
have recently ordered the withdrawal
from circulation of the three-pence
stamp colored yellow and brown, for
the reason that investigation has
shown that the coloring matter en-
ployed on these stamps contains suf-
ficient cromate of lead to produce in
furious effects. 1t was shown during
the investigation on which the order
Of withdrawal was based that IL mil
ligrams Of this substance were suffi-
cient to cause poisoning, and a single
one of the Objectionable stamps car
ries a miligram Of It, Thus the re-
peated application Of these stamps to
the lips in the act Of moistening
might result in the accumulation of
a dangerous quantity Of the poison In
the mouth.-Youths' Companion.
