MAINE LUMBER QUEEN
MISS sTIMSON HAS FAIRLY WON
THE TITLE.
Success in New Field Achieved II
Face of keenest Competition
Given No Advantage on Ac-
count of Sex.

Boston. Sumson, who has
earned the title of the Lumber Queen
OF Maine" closed her mills at Smyrna
Nils, Limerick and Ashland, recently,
after a busy and successful season.
Miss Stimson is one of the ablest
and most enterpHsing women OF New
England, aud has for many years con
ductcd a large timber and lumber man
ufacturing business in the face of keen
connection. She has had many inter
esting encounters with leading lumber
barons of Aroostock, but so compre-
hensive is her knowledge of Maine 8
lumber resources and 50 accurate is
her estimate Of men that she seldom
comes off second best in her deals.
She will start Mp her mills again in
the spring and expects to manufacture
as much, If not more, lumber than In
1906.
Miss Sumsons mills at Smyrna
Mills and Limerick saw long lumber
laths and shingles. She has a compe-
tent crew of men az each place, but
drives from her home here in Houltou
almost every day personally TO over
see operations. Some Of the LOGS
which are converted into lumber at
these mills are cut on her own tim.

COUNCIL WANTS
HIGHER TENDERS
CONVINCED BY ARGUMENTS OF
TROLLEY EXPERTS
With Five and One-HaIf Inches Clear
ance Over Tracks, There VIII
Be Less BuokIing of
Safety Appliance

Amendments of the fender ordinance
were agreed on yesterday by the COM
mittee of the whole of the city councl.
Five and one-half inches leeWay
above the rails will be allowed uhdeT
the changed law to be recommended
Monday, instead of three inches' as
now. -,
The trolley companies engineers hold
that q rigid compliance with the three
inch law is impossible, as tenders as
low as that would scrape the ground IN
many places, especially on grades. The
loads on cars depress the springs TO
the extent of two inches or more at
times, and this too interferes with the
operation of too low tenders.
The councilmen took this view or the
situation as rational and Will recon-
mend a change.
Attorney Dunn argued for the electric
interests that safety tenders of the
light variety at three inches height
worked fairly well in dry weather on
level roads. Elsewhere they were a
failure. On rainy days big wagons IN
crossing the tracks left mounds of soft
mud alongside the tracks as high. as
ten inches sometimes. The tenders
stick out beyond the rails and of course
come in contact with these masses.
In the past winter season twenty-five
tenders had buckled or been doubled
up because of contact with hard sub
stances on the tracks. This will be
largely avoided by five and one-half
inch suspension.

RACE OF WHITE GIANTS
IN NORTHERN ALASKA

Special to The Herald.
CHICAGO, May 4.-The Rev. Fran
els Barnum, S. j., at present in Chi
cago, says he has discovered a race
of white giants in northern Alaska.
They are of unadulterated Caucasian
blood, immense in stature and muscular
development, members of one tribe
found beyond the settlements of the
Alaskan Indians north # what is
known as the Indian line. During a
stay of more than eight years among
these people the priest did not find
a single tribesman who was not much
larger and taller than the average
American.
Several years before the discovery Of
gold at Nome Father Barnum was sent
as a missionary to Alaska. Preaching
from village to village among the
Alaskan Indians, but journeying north
ward always, he finally passed the In
dian line, beyond which the population
becomes strictly Esquimaux.
Finally he came upon not the band
of hardy hunters he had expected, but
a race of purely white men of gigantic
stature. He says they are without the
faintest strain of Mongolian or Indian
ancestry. He was with them long
enough to master their language.

Astonshment of Eastern

Now that the Shriners are here and
the key to the city has been delivered
to them, the principal event of Fiesta
week, Judged from an artistic and
spectacular standpoint, is the floral
parade on Friday. The event Will sur
pass both in grandeur of appoint
ments and in numbers, anything OF the
kind ever held in Los Angeles, and. the
committee in charge is having it's hands
fill in arranging so that no hitch will
mar the effect of the gorgeous spec
tacle.
The grand marshal has been ap-
pointed, his assistants have beer
chosen and the line of march mapped
out, and from now until Friday the
committee will content itself with tax
ing care of the numerous entries which
have found a refuge in the mail box
These are several hundred in number,
and placing them in the different divi-
sions on the day of the parade will en-
tail untold labor.
At 9 o'clock on Friday morning the
entrants to the big event will begin to
assemble at Ninth and Main streets,
the point at which the monster parade
will form. Plans have been laid so
that no confusion, despite the great
number to be placed in line, will result,
and as fast as they come the vehicles,
pedestrians, equestrians and others will
be assigned to their places and sent up
Main street.
