Lots Of Maple Sugar.
Extensive Industry in Northern Somerset
Not Generally Known.


Somerset County borders on the
Province of Quebec for something
like eighty miles and the territory on
both sides of the line is very heavily
wooded. Many OF the townships have
escaped the deploration which has
come from the numbering operations
on land not SO deep in the heart Of
the wilderness and it so happens that
the sugar NAPLES in this region have
been left almost undisturbed The
Canadians, who have always given
more attention to the maple sugar in r.
dustry than the people of the states
having year by year tapped the trees
on their side of the line, and in look
ing for territory in which 10 enlarge
their operations, have gradually
worked over into Maine territory un-
til their annual yield, from trees in
this county amounts to one hundred
and fifty to two hundred thousand
pounds. The Canadian farmers come
every year with their teams, much on
the same plan as they formerly did
the sugar maple region early, tap the
trees, make the sap into sugar, and,
as they have no facilities for getting
the product to the railroad on this
side of the line, they take it back with
them to Canada at the end of the sea-
son. The larger part of it is put in
bonded warehouses, either at ST.
George or Beauceville, 2. @. 1t Is
there accepted by the Canadian Gus
tom officials and most of it ultimate
ly finds its way to the United States
market, largely in the western states.
This sugar is made in large blocks
of from five to ten pounds each and is
almost identical with what is known
AS "Beauce Block Sugar" 1t has a
dark color and very strong flavor.
For mixing purposes, users consider
it superior to most any other sugar
made on the American side. From
the fact that the product has to be
transported a long distance from the
sugar camps to the settlements, very
little if any syrup is made in the sec
ton above referred to, the concentra-
ted sugar form being the more easily
handled. There is one section OF
Aroostook county where sugar is
made by the Canadians under much
the same circumstances as i'll north
ern Somerset, but the total product
is not nearly as large as i'll our own
county.
The attention of the REPORTER was
called to the maple sugar industry, as
above outlined by George G. Carey
of st. Johnsbury, VT, manager of the
Carey Maple Sugar Company. This
corporation controls seven eighths of
the maple sugar product of the Unit
ed States and the Canadian provinces,
having warehouses at seventeen diff
ferent points in Vermont and at Sher-
brook and Beauceville in the province
of Quebec. Skowhegan people will
recall Mrs. Carey, formerly Miss
Annie Partridge of this place, and
many of our people have made The
acquaintance of Mr.. Carey on his
visits here.

The u. of M. Musical Clubs.

The twenty -four young men COM
posing the Musical Clubs of the
University OF Maine gave an excel
lent entertainment III Grange Hall on
Friday evening of last week, under
the auspices of the Athletic Asso-
citation of the Skowhegan High
School. The University at Orono
now numbers more than seven hun
dred students ON its rolls and from
among them the best are selected to
make up the musical organizations
which bear the name of the college.
The entertainment was followed by a
dance, with music by kendall's
Orchestra, participated i'll by some
thing like seventy-five couples,
among which the young people of the
High School and the young men of
the Musical Clubs were numerically
prominent.
The arrangements with the visiting
clubs and the other details of the
affair were managed by a committee
of which Arthur Jewett was chair
man, his associates being Bertha Mer-
riIi, John Lewis, Hazel Holden, Elroy
Lacasce, Katherine Keene, Lois
Steward, Kenneth Causland, Elmer
Nolin and Thos. Arbuckle. a net
profit of thirty dollars was realized
from the entertainment and the
dance, which will be used in the
general expenses of baseball and
other branches of athletics the com
ing season.

AFTER ONE YEAR

At the bottom of the obituary col. umn of the New York Sun we find this {:
 IN MEMORIAM
 RICHARD MANSFIELD, August 90, 1 l9O7-190S.
 My own dim life shall teach me that
 life shall live for eyermore.
 Grim reminder of the folly of all earthly glories-vanitas vanitatum!
 One cannot help regretting, too, that the same careful hand and brain that conducts the Suns editorial page could not, in this case, at least, have extended to this advertisement in the obituary column. For the lines from Tennyson s beautiful Tn Memoriam'' lose part of their sacred music when misquoted. AS it stands above, the quotation does not scan. Tennyson wrote:
 "My own dim life should teach me
 this,
 That life shall live forevermore, d
 And dust and ashes all that is
 But it is marvelously fitting that one should consider that greatest of all ele gies, In Memoriam," in connection with the anniversary of the death of Richard Mansfield A year ago and the press was filled with his praise; with re- gret, worldwide, at his untimely taking of. Those who had loved the man and the work he had done, and what he had tried to do, sounded to high heaven Ia note of woe, and predicted for the dead player an imperishable niche in the chamber of fame.
 A year has passed, and 10! for many of us it needs this advertisement, insert ed by some relative or dear friend, per haps, to recall Mansfield to our memory. He did his work; he has been at rest a year; the memory of his deeds is already growing dim. That is the players lot the applause of the moment, the con sciousness, perhaps, of work well done, and then the borrowed mantle of the king is thrown of, the tinsel crown is doffed-the curtain is rung down.
 Well, indeed, is it in recalling the memory of Richard Mansfield and all he and his work and his influence meant to us so brief time ago, to recall an- other passage of Tennyson's elegy: "The fame is quenched that I fore.
 saw,
 The head hath missed an earthly
 wreath;
 l curse not nature, no, nor death For nothing is that errs from law. We pass; the path that each man trod
 Is dim, or will be dim, with weeds;
 What fame is left for human deeds In endless age2 It rests with God. 70 hollow wrath of dying fame,
 Fade wholly, while the soul exults,
 And self-infolds the large results Of force that would have forged a
 name."
