maine is a State of great natural
resources and is making commendable
progress in manufacturing, quarrying
and in certain lines of agriculture. Its
railroads are being extended, its bank
deposits increasing and the State is
steadily gaining in wealth.
with the exception of the decade
from 1860 to 1870 the State has always
shown steady increase in population,
and basing a calculation on the census
of polls and school children which is
taken annually, the population Of the
State at the present time should be 742,-
$685. or a gain of Al, 1877 since 1900.
with the exception of Aroostook
county and few towns along the Dor
der of the wilderness in other northern
counties where the settlements have
been largely promoted since 1860. it
will be found, almost without exception,
that wherever town shows any consld-
cradle gain in population between 1850
and 1900, it is due to the establishment OF
manufacturing plants, the development
of quarries, the extension OF the sum-
mer home industry, or to some special
cause, as the Togus Soldiers Home IN
Chelsea; while on the other hand, with
the exceptions above noted, the purely
agricultural towns for the most part
show a marked decrease in population,
a considerable number of fairly good ag-
ricultural towns having IN 1900 less than
one-half the population shown IN 1901.
"There is a general feeling through
out the State that the tide of emigration
from the farm is not so strong as IN TOR,
mer years, and the fact that several small
colonies of foreigners of different nation,
alties are purchasing our abandoned and
otherwise neglected farms, as well as the
purchase of large number of our more
productive farms both by residents and
nonresident Americans, shows that our
fertile hills and valleys are beginning to
be annreciated -

RocKLAND's FOOD FAIR.

The announcement that there was to
be Finnish wedding on the opening
night, Saturday, January 2, at the Food
Fair in the Arcade, Rockland, is causing
much excitement and comment. Quite a
number have expressed it as their belief
that it was to be mock wedding and not
the real thing. In order to get at the
facts we asked Mr.. Thomas about it, who
said: 'The wedding is going to be the
real thing. The parties are Jalma Hauta
and Miss Hilja Lydia Ruuska and they
live in this city. Rev. P. Miettineu, the
clergyman who is to perform the cere-
mony, lives in Thomaston. We tried for
weeks for this attraction and only through
the influence Of friends were we able to
get the consent of the young people. 1t
comes high, but we have been promising
the people entirely new features for our
fair and we are going to keep our prom
Use. You might add another great feature
of the fair will be competitive entertain
ments by several Oranges of Knox coun-
3. The Oranges already entered are
Penobscot View of Glencove, Megunti-
cook of Camden, Warren of Warren and
Mt. Pleasant of West Rockport. Each
Grange will be allotted an hour to present
its entertainment and the contest will
cover as many nights as there are con-
testants. Then there will be Baby Dor
othy, the child wonder, the Young La
dies Orchestra, thirty-fo demonstra-
tions-all new to this city, and countless
other attractions The fair will last seven
nights and six afternoons, January 20
could talk about this fair all day, but
just tell the people to make no other en-
gagement for January 80" And judg-
ing from what the managers say and the
talk being created it is going to be quite
an affair. -Col1rier-C Gazette.

THE CONSERVATION PROBLEM.
The Report Agreed Upon at the Conference
of Governors.

The Report Agreed Upon at the Conference
of Governors.
WASHINGTON, December 10. Pro-
phetic of far-reaching results growing
out of the joint conservation conference
is a report drafted today by more than
thirty governors, approving the principle
of cooperation among the States and
between the States and the federal gov
eminent, in the conservation Of the coun-
try's natural resources, and emphasizing
the Importance of such cooperation to
the end that the prosperity and perpetu-
ity of the nation may be assured.
The last days conference between
President Roosevelt's national conserva-
ton commission, leaders in commerce
and industry, lawmakers, governors,
senators and representatives, was
fraught with much significance, but in
pledging their support to every side of
the conservation problem, the Governors
furnished the climax to one of the most
eventful gatherings ever held in this
country. The conference heard addresses
from Andrew Carnegie, Governors Wood
ruff of Connecticut; Ansel, of South
Carolina; Broward of Florida, and De-
neen of Illinois; former Governor Blanch-
ara OIL LOUISVILLE anu oIIlcl uloIlllS uloIlco
men.
The joint conference through COM
mittee on resolutions, summed up its de-
alterations and heartily approved of the
work and principles of the commission.
The necessity for such laws as may be
necessary to extend cooperation was
strongly urged and the policy of separate
disposal of surface, timber and mineral
rights remaining on public lands was
commended.
The conference approved the disposal
of mineral rights by lease only and the
disposal of timber rights only under con-
ditions ensuring proper cutting and log
ging.
The policies upon which particular en-
phasis was laid, were:
That all uses OF the waters and all por-
tons of each waterway shall be treated
as inter-related; legislation for the de-
velopment of waterways for navigation,
water supply and other interstate uses,
preferably by federal appropriation, 9th
erwise by issue Of bonds; more scientific
research as to the extent of the nation g
resources, the maintenance of a national
conservation commission, to cooperate
with State commissions.
A resolution was adopted providing tor
the appointment of a joint committee OF
six members of State commissions and
three members of the national commits
sion to prepare plan for united action
by all organizations concerned with the
conservation of natural resources.

Massachusetts, Municipal Elections.

Boston, December 8. While the to-
tai number of cities voting for license
remains unchanged as the result of to-
days election in q municipalities of the
State, 10 voting against license and eight
for it, there were some radical changes
in alignment. Fall River, notably, voted
no license for the first time since 1903,
and Gloucester also went into the no
license list, while Haverhill and Salem,
both of which voted against license last
year, voted for it today. The other
cities where elections were held did not
change their vote on the license question
from that of last year. Those voting for
license are Chicopee, Lawrence. Lowell,
Springfield and Taunton, while IN the no
license list are Beverly, Brockton, Ever
EFT, Lynn, Maiden, Medford, Melrose,
Newton, Woburn, Worcester and Somer-
vile.
Boston, December g. A tabulation of
the vote in the Massachusetts cities on
the license question this fall shows that
in the 20 cities which have voted thus
far there has been net gam OF 45o
votes for no license. Boston, Newbury-
port and North Adams vote next week,
and Cambridge votes in the spring. There
has been net gain OF three cues ior no
license, Chelsea, Marlboro, New Bedford,
Fall River and Gloucester having changed
this year from license to no license, while
Salem and Haverhill changed from no IL
cense to license. In these 20 cities ties the
total vote this year was: Yes, 94,o3o; no.
1O2, 841, a majority against license OF
SSH. In 1907 the vote Of these cities
was: Yes, IS, 638; no, SO, 999; majority
against license of 1851. Eleven OF the
cities which have voted thus lar have
favored license, while IS have made the
sale of liquor illegal. In l9 w. only u

MARK SMITHS STATEHOOD
 BILL

The friends of Mark Smith in- sist that that gentleman is not only the most competent man to frame statehood bill, but that his love and devotion to the ter ritory are so great he would se- cure the most advantageous con- sessions to it. There are two bills in congress to enable Ari zOna to become state; one was introduced by Senator Flint in December, 1907, and the other by Mark Smith in January, 1908. We don't know why Mark should have been so slow with his bill. Senator Flint'S bill provides for an appropriation of S2, 100000 out of the United States treasury for a school fund and S50,OO0 year for an agricultural college for the new state. Smiths bill. though be must have had the senator's bill before him, omits the provision for any appropri- alton of money for that purpose. Why?

RESOLUTION.

\ Resolved, That the Yuma Conner cial Club fully appreciates the benefits that would accrue to Yuma and to all of the soon to be- state of Arizona, by having port of entry at this place; and within the boundaries of the new state. We endorse this movement to the fullest extent, and declare ourselves ready to cooperate in every way possi- Sible that the great waterway to the Gulf of California may become real ity.
 "We believe there is not anything paramount in importance to the com mercial interests of all Arizona than the achievement of this great enter prise. It would place Arizona in close touch with the Panama canal. which would enable the new state of Arizona to transact all her business directly with every port of commerce through out the whole world"

GIVE US THE NEWS

Every newspaper wants to publish the news. Lccal news items are especially hard to run down. How many times have you, dear reader, been approach ed by a reporter for an Item of news and told him that you knew nothing of interest? Probably at the time your family were away on 8 visit or some one from out of town was visiting at your home. Of course, you didn't m(al to deceive the scribe, yet when you received your paper you wondered why your family or friends were not mentioned. A good way to avoid all this is to kindly inform us of the facts or drop note in the postoffice to the paper. The one item may not amount to much, but several columns of such news is the life of 3 local paper.
