A BLAZING LAUNCH.
Three Lives in Peril in the Bay.


What might easily have been fatal acci-
dent occurred in the bay last Monday after
noon. Mr.. G. A. Horton, president of the
Duplex Roller Bushing Co., Elon B. Gil
chrest of that company, and Harry Par
fridge of Standpoint, guest at the Cobe
cottage, Northport, were out in a new
launch built by the D. Il. E. Co., and had
been to Northport and landed passenger.
On the return and when just above the park
the engine was acting badly and finally
stopped. Almost Immediately the boat was
in flames, caused it is thought by a broken
live wire coming in contact with the waste
oil under the engine. Mr.. Horton exclaim-
ed, "What can do, cannot swim a stroke,
and jumping overheard he began throwing
water into the boat. Mr. Partridge said to
him that he was making bad matter worse,
and he stopped, and working his way to the
bow of the boat Mr.. Horton held on to the
painter. Mr.. Gilchrest meanwhile had at
tempted to put out the fire and was burned
about the arms in doing so. Finding moth
ing could be done he jumped overheard and
started to swim for the shore, calling to
Partridge to follow him, but the latter said
he would not leave Mr.. Horton. Partridge
then removed all his clothing but his pants,
in readiness to swim if he had to take to the
water GichreSt swan toward the shore
until taken into skitf manned by Frank
Dunton. Foster Crocker and MarthUn Doak
had meanwhile put out in a rowboat to the
blazing launch and when near it Partridge
Jumped overheard and swan to the boat
and rescued MIR Horton from his perilous
position. They were all landed at the Park
and a carriage sent for to take them to Mr..
Horizons residence on Church street. Mr..
Horton escaped with wetting, MIR. Gil
chrest lost his pocket book and gold sleeve
links and MIR. Partridge was minus his
clothes, excepting the pants, but saved his
watch. Mr.. Horton fitted him out from his
own wardrobe, and Tuesday his mother
came down from Standpoint and brought
him another outfit With the exception of
the burns received by Mr.. Gilchrest, which
were not severe, the party escaped injury.
Had the accident happened farther out in
the bay, or an explosion taken place, loss Of
life must have ensued.
The launch, what was left of it, was land
ed on the shore near the scene of the acci-
dent and the gasolene tank and engine have
hull. The launch was valued at $3.50.

ASKS FOR INJUNCTION.
Sturgis Commission Requests County At.
torneys to Proceed Against Owners.

Sturgis Commission Requests County At.
torneys to Proceed Against Owners.
The county attorneys throughout the
State have received the following commu-
nication from the enforcement commission:
STATE OF MAINE,
ENFORCEMENT COMMISSION,
AUGUSTA, Aug. 5, 1908.
Dear Sir: Some time ago we called the
attention of the county attorneys through
out the State to the provisions OF the nuis
sance statute authorizing injunctions against
the owners of buildings occupied for pur-
poses which constitute them nuisanceS, as
being an efficient instrument in the hands
of county attorneys to shut off the sale OF
Intoxicating liquors. We consider the feat
ure of the law of such Importance that after
consultation with the governor we now re-
quest each county attorney in the State to
make use of the power vested IN MIN by
the statute, and to proceed IN proper cases
against the owners of buildings used in
such way as to be nuisances by injunction
process.
1t seems to us that it is practically in
cumbent upon county attorneys to see that
criminal prosecutions and injunctlons are
followed up in cases where liquor sellers
continue after one or more prosecutions to
carry on their business in the same place,
and that repetitiOns of OffenseS should sub
ject the places they occupy and their own
ers to the penalties prescribed by law.
Wherever our deputies can do so, we will be
pleased to have them give you any. assist
ance in their power in furnishing INFORM
alton along these lines or in furtherance of
proceedings.

WHAT AILS OUR FARMS?
Chiefly, Say the Experts, the Greed
of the Farmers.

OF the dTmSTS.
In the closing decade of the last
century the land values OF Ohio
shrank $GOOOO,0O0. In Minnesota,
the great wheat State. the average
yield an acre has dropped one bushel
in the last five years. In Kansas
the retrogression is even more mark
ed.
The census report gives the aver
age annual product an acre of all
the farms in the United States as
worth $11.3S. This figure, poor as it
is, must owe great deal to the
newly opened territories, for the
great agricultural States of Minnesota
and Illinois fell considerably below
it.
With the most fertile land in the
world. says the Craftsman, We are
producing much less than other peo-
pies extract from lands OF poorer
quality and longer subsection to
filth. During the ten years ending
with 1906 we raised thirteen and
five-tenths bushels of wheat to the
acre. In Austria and Hungary the
average was seventeen bushels; IN
France it was nineteen and eight
tenths; in Germany, twenty-seven
and sixtenths; and in the United
Kingdom, thirty-two and two-tenths
bushels. The figures for barley, oats
and other crops show the same con-
trast.
AS an illustration of what can be
done here under intensive farming,
it may be stated that in Yellow
stone county, Montana the following
yields an acre have been secured:
Wheat, So bushels. oats. 163 bushels.
and potatoes. 1918 bushels. while
1920 tons of alfalfa have been grown
on 200 acres.
The impoverishment of our lands
has been brought about in the main
by single cropping and the neglect
OF fertilization. Almost everywhere
in the country 1t has been the prac-
tice of our farmers to select the
crop which promised the best i'm
mediate return and to plant their
fields. In it year after year without
rest or change, and in spite OF the
protests Of scientists and the DEM
onstrations OF agricultural colleges
and experiment stations.
Whereas arabic land should under
proper treatment grow richer and
more bountiful year by year, our agri-
cultural acres are 'deteriorating so
fast that the owner derives from
them an annual income equal to no
more than what would be a moderate
rental II they we're in ordinary con
dition and properly cultivated.
