European 4 North American Rail-
road of 100000 acres of the States
wild land valued as Governor Dingley
stated in his inaugural address of
January s, 1874, lat more than $500, 900. -
In its passage this act RECEIVED
THE SOLID SUPPORT OF THE
DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS OF THE
LEGISLATURE.
In 1865 the European & North Am
erican Railroad came before the legis-
lature of Maine. and asked to be re-
iieved of the debt of s2sO,OOO which it
had assumed as a condition of its land
grant. There We're 81 Democrat
ic members of that Legislature,
80 of whom voted in favor of
granting this request, which pre-
vailed by vote of Il to 49, Among
those who spoke in favor of the rail-
road was Hon. Harris NJ. Plaisted, the
last Democratic governor of Maine. By
this vote the European & North Am
SIiNoh i"iil odu WIS reviewed OK d uSDl
Of s2S6,000 and came into the uncondi-
tional possession as a gift from the
State of 1000 acres of wild land.
The Democrats of that time justified
this act in the Legislature and out of it,
us one in the interests of the State,
claiming that the growth of valuation
in Northern Maine would amply justi-
fy the State for its liberal aid to Thu;
enterprise. 1t is only fair to them to
ed justified this claim-and yet the Eu-
ropean & North American railroad
unlike the r & A was not an enter
prise wholly upon American soil and
furnishing the big Northern section of
Maine direct route to the great Am
erican markets. 1t was a road located
largely upon Canadian soil. 1t only
touched a portion of AroostOok county.
It VIII be thus seen that it served on
and products of that section shipped
over it had to go a long and circuitous
route through a British province in
order to reach their destination.
Compare this service with that afford
ed Northern Maine today by the Ban
gor & ArOostook railroad and decide
which of these enterprises had the
greater claim upon the people of Maine.
Our State gave 100000 of land to the
European & North American in addi-
ton to abating its taxes and it did this
with the practical support of the DEM
ocratic party. The Bangor and ArooS-
took railroad received from the State
an agreement to abate for a term of
years 50 per cent. of the taxes on the
property it should create. This
concession received the votes of all the
Democratic members Of the Legislature
including the Democratic member from
the city of Waterville as well as all
the Republican members and events
have amply demonstrated the fact that
the State has been a many times gain
er as a result of this broad and liberal
policy.

Those figures on debt reduction and
tax reduction during the two years OF
Governor Cobbs administration are
not at all popular with Democratic
editors and orators, but the people of
Maine are interested in them and real

ton of the Democratic attacks upon
the Republican management of State

MAKES PLEA FOR BIRDS
A Bird Lover Asks That They be Fed
Crumbs and be Protected
From the Cold.


Editor Palladium As friend of
the robin and other Indiana birds
that migrate from the South each
spring, I desire to make an appeal in
their behalf. The snow upon the
ground may last but few days more,
possibly less time, but every hour
is causing suffering for these birds.
The robin, the blue jay and the blue
bird asks no assistance in good
weather, but when the ground is snow
covered they are absolutely at the
mercy Of their human friends. Bread
crumbs and other bits from the ta-
bles, thrown upon snow will be found
and eagerly eaten. The summer
birds of Indiana have made the usual
mistake Of reaching the north too
soon for their own comfort and well
fare, but they are harberingers of
spring nevertheless and if we are to
enjoy their presence and their CHEEKY
song, it is our duty to give assistance
in time of distress:

the prediction made by him on Feb
ruary 2, as it has all come true, and
twelve inches of snow are now bank
ed up at his door as If it were a re-
minder to him of his unerring verac-
ity. The public will give hearty,
thanks once his spell passes, leaving
the landscape looking less like the

STEAM HEATING
FOR RICHMOND.
NO EFFORT TO RENEW THE
OLD FRANCHISE AT THE
PRESENT.
PROJECT ALIVE, HOWEVER
It Is Possible that Company of Rich
mond Men viii Be Formed
at Later Date.
PROJECT ALIVE, HOWEVER

No attempt will be made, it is as
serted, to get a renewal or an extern
sion Of the franchise once granted
by the city council for a public SER
vice steam heating plant.
The franchise was procured by To-
cal people who had high hopes that
capital could be interested to finance
the project, but through some cause
this has not been done. The fact
that steam plants for public service
have been aesuccess in several cities
in Indiana, indicates that such sue
cess could be achieved here.
The cost of installing a plant and
building service lines is very expen-
sive, but in most cities where's the
system is in vogue only a part of the
residence or business districts are
covered at a time, the remainder be-
ing served as the plant or it's substa-
tions are increased in capacity.
i. It is said that one OF two Richmond
men are still much interested in the
steam heating project and that they
may take it up later Oh with a view
to giving the. city "a steam heating
system for the East end residence

Sprinter Turk, the great athlete of

to race a locomotive. Turk holds
several track records and is, perhaps,
the fastest 100 yard sprinter in the
state. He will race Vandalia en-
gine No. 8, and the novel contest is
sure to attract universal attention.
The race is the result Of arguments
as to the comparative speed Of man

The race is to be 100 yards, from q

A GAAR, SCOTT & co. THREsH-
Err Is SENSATION IN THE
PHILIPPINES.
FORMAL TEST A SUCCESS
Richmond Agricultural Machinery
Fast Gaining Prestige in For
eign Wheat Countries.

That agricultural machinery, man
ufactured in Richmond is fast gain
ing reputation in foreign countries
is mdicatd by the large shipments
that several local concerns have made
this and previous years. Particular
mention might be made of the
threshing machine outfits from the
Gaar, Scott & Co. plant which are
now in use in practically every wheat
and rice produci.. country on the
globe. Sometime ago, the Palladi-
rm gave an account Of an interestin@
test made in the wheat belt of Tul-
key with Gaar, Scott thresher.
This Richmond company now has in
vaded Uncle Sans possessions in
the Pacific, and it is fair to presume
that in the near future, a great part
of the rice produced. in the Philip
pines will be rendered marketable by
Gaar, Scott & Co. machines.
January 22d, devotes column of its
space to the tests of a Gaar, Scott
thresher, which were made two days
previous, and in part, says:
"A most satisfactory display of
the utility Of rice thresher, was
made ON Saturday afternoon on the
Dan Pedro Macati road, near Santa
Ana. The thresher turns out to va
canes (150 quarts) every minuet, or
at the rate of 12O cavanes every
hour.
"A. large crowd of interested per-
sons was present to witness the work
done by the thresher. Special street
ears were placed on the line to ac-
commodate those who desired to wit
ness the test and when the hour for
beginning had come, several hundred
persons were on the grounds.
"The separator used was Gaar,
Scott, three-way crank thresher,
manufactured at Richmond, Indiana,
u. s. A. The engine was 16-
horse power, Gaar, Scott engine that
is also used for steam blowing and
is capable of operating three plows
with ease.
"The machinry was given no spe-
cial advantage for the test. Water
had to be carried some distance, the
separator being placed alongside
several stacks of palap where it had
been stacked at harvest time with
view of pounding out the grain with
the antiquatd methods now in use.
The engine was also placed at proper
distance to allow for belt operations,
and the work began without a mo-
Sment's delay.
"The spectators were amazed at
the rapidity with which the grain is
sued from. the great machine. Many
of the members of the original con-
gress were present and expressed
themselves as delighted with the test
and the excellent work done. They
carried off catalogues and large
fund Of information gained by asking
questions as to the work accomplish
ed and the price of the outfit"
