us. Theories as to the mode OF construc-

necessary to develop high speed, or
the greater bunker capacity essential
to wider steaming radius. They point
out that in the Dreadnaught it was at
tempted to preserve two of these
factors, gun power and speed, but that
to do so it was necessary to sacrifice
the armor protection, which they be-
lieve such battleship should have
No Limit to Cost.
No sacrifice in armament, speed, or
steaming radius will have to be made
in designing the new Constitution.
The only limitation placed upon the
Secretary of the Navy by the Naval
Affairs Committee is that her hull and
machinery shall not cost more than
$G.0O0,0OO. The provision for the bat
tleships Michigan and South Carolina,
now the largest ships building for the
navy, was $4,OOO,OOO each, and there
is no doubt in the minds of the mem-
bers of the committee that if the
Secretary decides to go to 10000 tons
or beyond, the extra $200O,O0O now
provided will easily accomplish it.
1t is estimated that the armor and
armament for the ship will cost some
where in the neighborhood of $780,
900 in addition to the hull and ma
chinery, and that other fittings will
bring the total for the new Constitu-
ton up approximately to s10,000,000.
The Dreadnaught is planned to
carry ten 12-inch rifles. The Michi-
gan and South Carolina are to carry
eight Pinch guns. The Dreadnaught
will be able to concentrate six guns
for bow or stern fire. with eight on
either broadside, while the American
ships can use four guns dead ahead or
dead astern, and all eight ahead or
astern on quartering fire, with all
eight on either broadside. So that in
point of fire they are nearly as eff
ficient as the Dreadnaught, which ex-
cells materially only in the single
point of speed. To counterbalance
This the American ships have the de-
cided advantage in armor protection.
The Advantage of Guns.
The Constitution will have as high
speed as the Dreadnaught, and the
'louble advantage over the British
ship of greater gun power and more
complete armOr protection. She will
be more able to inflict blows and bet
ter able to withstand them. She will
carry twelve 12-inch rifles, SO ar
that she can concentrate eight
of them in firing dead ahead or dead
astern, or off tile bow or quarter, and
ten on either broadside.

lands and placed the cutting OF all
timber under the direction of the
Government Forestry Bureau. A
corps Of expe, is was sent into the
Maine woods and q close study made
of the trees growing on each acre
of this companys holdings. A plan
was agreed upon which assures per-
petual supply Of timber. No tree un-
der nine inches in diameter Is to be
cut. At the end of sixteen years the
spruce growth will have renewed It,
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 Maine about 54,-

recent state report says that $4,000 ad-
ditional horse power is available

Beyond doubt the railroads of
Maine are responsible for the open
ing and developn 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-

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

value of timber lands over $50 per

Capital from Canada.
It 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 1t 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
t'.eir branch ran the freight rates

facturers to compete with more &C

been made, as nature has done so
much and man so little.
More than 1000 square miles, or
2, 100000 acres, of land still remain
ployed and uninproved, waiting
for capital and brains to make it yield
large returns. The resources are al
most beyond limit or belief.
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 a 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 small branch OF
the Penobscot River where drop OF
one hundred and fifty feet furnishes
25. 900 horsepower. From this mill
is turned out each day between 100
and 1870 tons of newspaper, made from
wood pulp.

making from wood-pulp is one of
the greatest menaces to our forests.
