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
has 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
this vast army remained to devel-
op their native state it is impossible

brated actress has entered the arena
as trust buster" When she made
preparations for bookings in Texas,
she found the playhouses of the state
closed to her on account of her re-
fusal to appear under the patronage
of the theatre syndicate. In Texas,
therefore, she was compelled to appear
in tent. A week or two ago, novel
method Of producing a play was in
augurated 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 If it had
been big enough. AS it 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 a
three-ringed circus.
The novelty of playing in a circus
tent appealed to the actress and she
gave her Interpretation of the char

much and man so little.
More than 1000 square miles, or
2,rsO,0O0 acres, of land still remain
ployed and unimproved, 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 a vast amount
of lumber and wood pulp. The larg-
est paper mill in the world, is located
at Millinocket on a small branch of
the Penobscot River where a drop OF
one hundred and fifty feet furnishes

is turned out each day between 100

Many thousands of Indian children

Mother Katherine. formerly Miss Kate
Drexel, of Philadelphia, sister of John

in Pottowatomie county. are also mon

The st. Louis and st. John schools
mt Pawhuska, 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
Afother 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
ernment, and their scope is greatly
widened 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 at
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 a similar
character. When the Sacred Heart
school burned five years ago, and was
rebuilt Pottawatomie 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,
is borne by Mother Katherine, and 1t
was by her visits to this school that
she discovered Albert Negahnquet, the
fullbIood Pottawatomie boy educated
by her, and who is now the only fuii-
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 ago. to take up
his work among his own people.

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
of this company's 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 tho

The only Limitation placed upon the
secretary of the Navy by the Naval

IS no doubt in the minds of the MEM

secretary decides to go to 10000 tons
ur beyond, the extra 100000 now
provided will easily accomplish it.
10 Is estimated that the armor and
armament for the ship will cost some
where in the neighborhood of $500,

bring the total for the new Constitu-
ton up approximately to S10,0O0,Oo0.

who recently appeared before the
Naval Committee OF the House AMI
gave a spirited talk in support of his
views as to the necessity of con
structing larger and more powerful
battleships for the American Navy
At the time the naval estimates We're
made up last fall, Secretary Bonaparte
was opposed to any such increase, hut
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,O00-ton battle ships Michigan and
South Carolina, authorized by the last
Congress, represent the limit of pos i
bility on displacement not decidedly
greater. To go beyond, in any APP
preciable degree, the fighting efficiency
of such ships, it will be necessary to
have not only more powerful arna-
ment, but higher speed and greater
steaming radius, to gain which there
must be heavier and more powerful
machinery and greater coal-carrying
capacity.
