Cement Poles.

The work of placing the cement
poles for use on the Fairfield and
Shawmut Electric railroad is now in
progress and as this is the first time
this kind of poles has ever been used
in this section the work is being
watched with great interest and Curl
osity. The forms for the poles have
been made and the first one was put
in position Thursday afternoon.
There are quite number of forms SO
that the work may PROCESS rapidly as
possible and it takes three days for
the cement to harden sufficiently to
warrant the removal of the forms to
construct other poles. Mr.. Parkin
who has the charge of the work has
made the forms. The poles are to be
80 feet long and are futed the whole
length. They will be placed in the
ground five feet, insuring absolute
stability

Palmyra's Celebration.

Thursday of last week was a red
letter day for the good old town of
Palmyra.
One hundred years ago it had its
birth as town and since then it has
had all the experiences which have
been Characteristic of the settlement
of Maine.
The career of Palmyra as a planta
ton or township was very brief. Its
first settler was Daniel Gale, who
came here in the year 1900 and so
rapidly did the pioneers follow that
seven years later it was incorporated
as a town.
From its earliest settlement Pal
myra has been an agricultural com
munity. Outside of one or two saw
mills it has practically no manufac-
turing interests, but as a farming
town it has but few superiors in the
State. Its people have always been
distinguished for their intelligence,
industry and sturdy virtues 1t has
been the nursery of many able men
and women and all of these who
could do SO were present today to do
honor to the spot of their birth
The celebration of this anniversary
was the one absorbing ambition of
her people for many weeks and one
and all entered most heartily into the
spirit of the occasion. 1t was sue
cess. Where the hearts and souls of
people are enlisted in any cause il
is always success, and never was
this better verified than in the good
old town of Palmyra.
Eleven ears of freight train NJ. IS
were derailed at the upper end of the
freight yards in Waterville Wednes-
day on the Maine Central and several
of the afternoon passenger trains were
delayed in consequence. The Water
vile wrecking train had gone which
to Cathance to clear up the wreck of
Sunday night was sent for. When near
Nassalboro on it's way back, two cars
one containing the large steam crane,
were dumped into the ditch and Wal
ter S. Jackson, engineer of the train,
was badly scalded by escaping steam.
The wrecking outfit from Bangor was
sent for and put to work at Nassal
boro while the Waterville crew sue
ceeded in putting the derailed cars of
No. IS back on the rails and early
Thursday traffic was resumed.

AMERICA AND JAPAN

One reason why Japan's metamorpho-
sis was so dramatic and complete was
that 1t came into the fellowship of nations
when civilization. by the strength of new
machinery. was breaking the bonds of
trndition.
The transformation OF America, In the
period since the emergence of Japan has
been almost a national miracle. In 1854,
when Perry went to the Sunrise King
dom. not bridge spanned the Mississippi
and no railroads stretched across this
continent
Our subsequent revolution In facilities
can be realized when we recall that the
ship that carried the light of American
civilization to Japan burned sperm oil as
an illuminant. Electricity was sputterng
in the laboratory. We had not even en-
tered the age of kerosene. This oil, though
not controlled by trust, has become the
poor mans light. China imports IL by
the tank squadron. American kerosene
has in fact become the light OF Asia.
Yet In 1854 the people OF the United
States regarded Kerosene as medicine.
Clearly we have been progressing con-
tednporaneously with Japan.-New York
American.
