Probably no branch of forest utiIiza-
tion, with the possible exception OF the
manufacture of pulpwood, shows such
rapid development IN this country as the
veneer industry. Until very recently the
opinion has prevailed that the kinds of
timber which could be made into eneer
were very limited in number, but the re-
ports furnished by the veneer producers
to the forest service include twenty four
species. Many of these, TO be sure, are
now cut in unimportant quantities, bat
the tendency 10 experiment with new
woods is clearly shown.
The following statement as 10 the kinds
and quantities of wood used for the manu-
facture OF veneer stock in 1905 is COM
piled from the reports furnished to the
forest service by ninsty-three firms. 1t
should be noted that the total amount OF
wood used, 13s, $4,000 feet, is in log
measure. As the amount OF lumber
actually cut from the log averages about
20 per cent greater than the log measure,
il Is safe to say that the timber used for
veneer stock would have made some 1885,
O00, 600 feet of ordinary lumber.

most of his life had been spent in Ellis
worth. He followed the sea many years.
In his early years he commanded the
Ellsworth cossting vessels Panama and

Indies.
His next vessel was the bark Mary G..
Hale, which was built for him, and in
which he made foreign voyages. He re-
tired from the sea several years ago on
account OF i'll health. He had been in
failing health for some months.

1t seems while there has been a
very general hurrah in the navy
department over the prospect OF this
government having the biggest bat
tleship in the world, and while most
naval officers are in accord with Ad-
miral Dewey and would like to see a
20, 900 ton battleship built, there is
current of resistance ander the sur
face and there is faction in the de-
partment that would prefer to see two
16, 900 ton ships in place OF the one 90
600 tonner. Their line OF reasoning is
simple. They say that with this one
immense ship the country is carrying
too many eggs in one basket, and also
that to keep up we'll balanced squad
rons the navy must have more battle
ships to cooperate with the cruisers.
This is question for naval experts,
and one which even naval experts can
not de nitely decide, but which must
be left TO the hard and expensive
school of experience.

For Judge of Probate.

Judge E. E. Chase, Of Bluehill, to-
day announces his candidacy for the
Office of judge of probate of Hancock
county. We print his letter of an
nou2cement elsewhere in this issue.
Judge Chase needs no introduction
10 the republican voters of Hancock
county. He was born n Bluehill
forty four years ago, and was edu-
Gated in the public schools and the
academy of that town, Westbrook
seminary, Hallowen academy and
Bowdoin college. He studied law in
the Office of Chief Justice A. P. Wis
well in Ellsworth, and in 1855 was adj
Rnitted to the Hancock county bar.
He has since practiced law in Bluehill.
He has held many positions of trust
and responsibility in his town, and
represented his class in the legisla-
ture in 1885. He was appointed Judge
of the Western Hancock municipal
court when that court was created,
and served in that capacity most eff
ciently for eight years.
He was appointed a member of
Gov. Hills council in 1901, and filed
that high position with credit to him
self and to the county. He has since
received important commissions from
the chief executive OF the State.
Judge Chase has been an active and
aggressive republican all his life. He
has taken prominent par. in the
councils of the party in county and
State, and to-day ranks high in pres
tige in the republican party in Maine.

model is sixteen feet wide and five and
one-haIf feet long and is buiit Of wood and

thirty two feet wids and sixteen feet long,
with tail or rudder eight feet long
by about fourteen feet wide in its widest
part, shaped something like the tail of a

with eight feathers or blades in each
wing. The length OF the blades will be
sixteen feet, with width OF about four
teen inches. The motive power is to be
ala air-cooled, four-cyiinder, gasoline en-
CINE OF about twenty-four horsepower.
The motor will weigh about seventy-tso
pounds for the entire engine. The ma
chine will weigh 740 pounds, including

and will be built Of cast steel tubing and

the subsidy bill passed. There were
number of other witnesses and letters
from interested ship owners, saying
that if the subsidy were not granted
all of the American Pacific lines
would be forced to go out of business.
Il was pointed out that the English
and Japanese lines engaged in the
Pacific trade received large subsidies,
amounting to several hundred thou
sand dollars each, while the most that
s.y OF the American lines received
was $4,000 for carrying the mails.
AS matter of business, it was urged,
this carrying trade ought to be saved
to the United States, and the only way
of saving it was by a subsidy. Moth
ing has yet been done in the way of
reporting the bill, however.

While there is temporary lun in

have been number of prominent
witnesses before the committee since
the hearings were commenced last

Bowles, once OF the navy and now OF

contradicted the testimony of Edwin
Crarnp, saying that while there was no
difference between the price of
English and American steel
in American yards, steel was
25 to so per cent. cheaper in
English yards than 1t was here. As
American firms have at different
times in the past underbid English
firms in providing steel for English
ships, it looks as though they had
been selling fully a quarter cheaper
abroad than at home. But Mr.. Bowles
is no longer an officer Of the navy.
