Houlton's Coming Centennial.

Seven Maine towns pass this year
the century mark as incorporated
municipalities and several of them are
observing the anniversary with fitting
exercises. Another Maine town,
larger and more prosperous than any
of the seven referred to, also has a
centennial celebration. This town is
HOultOn, and although it still lacks a
as an incorporated town, it is imprOv-
ing the opportunity to celebrate the
Tooth anniversary of it's settlement. 1t
was in April, 1907, that James HOultOn
left Boston to take up land and estab-
lish a home in the practically I'M
known wilderness Of northern Maine.
What is now the town Of Houlton was
Included in the so-callcd Salem grant,
and as In the case of 50 many Maine
sets men. But it was not so easy to
get to the ArOoitook Il hundred years
ago as it is now. Houlton went to st.
John with his family from Boston in
schooner. Thence they went up the
river to IA point below the present
Woodstock, ". f., where the family
was left in a camp built for the pur-
pose, and Houlton with his son struck
across the country to the spot where

the woods and build a home. In Au-
gust Mrs. Houltnn joined her husband
and that same season he put up his
log cabin. Other settlers soon arrived,
and in the second year Mr. HoultOn
built a rude grist mill. In 1926 the
settlement became organized as n
plantation, and in 1891 il was incor-
pOrated as u town.
From such q beginning Houlton has
ent status as Il finurishing commercial
and manufacturing town of 5000 in

Walter C.. Orom stated Thursday that

that the management is producing daily
ninety tons of first-class lead and cop

class milling ore.
Last month, the company received
as net receipts from shipments the
sum of $4,000. BY the latter part of
the present month, the hauling faclli-
ties will be so improved that the pro-
