senators, who fear that their ports will be
put at great disadvantage, as there are
few ship-owners in the South. The bill
has been making gradual Roadway, and
will surely rsss and go over TO the House
for approval.
AT that end OF the capitol the Maine
representatives - Burleigh, Littleheld,
Allen and Powers will put their heGds
together to help the bill to an early
passage. Mr., Littlefield is in good
strategic position to help, because he is on
the committee that will first consider it.
But all the Maine men are going to pull
together to get the necessary votes.

County Officers.

With the republican county conven-
hon only three months, more or less,
away, it may be interesting to name
ahe list of county officers to be voted
for at the September election, and to
mention those whose names, formally
Or informally, are associated with the
offices to be filed.
For senator from the eastern dis
trict L. B. Deasy is, of course, can
aidate for re nomination, and his
friends urge that party usage entities
him to second term. DR.. J. H. Pat
ten, in letter printed elsewhere in
this issue, declines to be considered a
candidate for sheriff, and expresses
his aspiration to the senatorship.
For senator from the western dis
trict, W. A. Walker, of Castine, is so
lar the only candidate in the field.
He was a candidate for the office four
years ago.
For the Office of sheriff, which for
nearly four years has been in tt 9
hands of our friends the enemy, the
only candidate who has yet announced
himself is W. S. Treworgy, of Surry,
who was the candidate two years ago.
His position on the issue of enforce
nent is we'll known.
For register of probate the present
incumbent, 7. F. Mahoney, is of course
. candidate, and it is probable that he
will be renominated.
For county commissioner M. L.
Allen, of Mt. Desert, and E. E. Rowe,
Of Ellsworth, have announced them
selves. j. P. Eldridge, whose term
expires next December, has not yet
announced whether or not he will be
. candidate.
For county attorney the names oi
quite number of the younger mem
bers of the bar have been mentioned,
among them being L. F. Giles, H. L.
Crabtree, W. E. Whiting and ex- Rep
Yesentative F. G. Burrill, of Ellsworth,
and W. G. Conary, of Bucksport.
For county treasurer R. B. Holmes,
of Ellsworth, expects to be re nomi-
mated, and there are no indications
that he will have any opposition.
The terms of the Judge of probate,
the clerk of courts and the register of
deeds do not expire until December,
1910.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Congressman Still Busy-Senate Bill
of Interest to vessei-Owncrs.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 16 Especially
senator Hale said the other day that he
would be glad for an opportunity to get
back to the Maine coast and its bracing
air for short while. He can rest better
down at Ellsworth than anywhere else,
and enjoys the keen winter air. But
warm spring weather is just beginning in
Washington, and Congress is just settling
down to plenty OF serious work. As a
goodly part of this is work in which Sem
ator Hale has to share, he is not likely to
get away from Washington for the pres
ent.
He has had some lively tussles Of late
with navy officers, who wanted to run his
committee on naval affairs. Those appear
to be over for the time being, as the tes-
timony about the construction of battle
ships has probably been concluded. The
officers who wanted to criticize Others
freely did not like to be confined to state
ments about their own opinions. Sena-
tor Hale's committee insisted that they
should so confine themselves. Two OF the
most pronounced recalcitrsnts we're
officers who have served as naval aides to
the President.

Our Otis correspondent says wild cat
of enormous size and brazen attitude crept
close to the scene of play of the Edge
comb children, one dsy this week. They
were out on the crust sliding, with their
dog Boxer, near the woods. The dog got
tired OF sliding, and the girls tied him to
a tree. Soon he attracted the children's
attention by growing, when they dis
covered the wild cat about to spring on
the dog. How they managed to unite
their dog and escape from peril seems a
miracle.

Very many owners of sailing craft along
the Maine coast are Immediately con-
cerned in the success of a bill that Mr.
Hale and Mr.. Frye are getting through
the Senate. Ii is a measure ITO provide
for the transportation by ssa OF material
and equipment for use in the construction
OF the Panama canal, and IL it becomes
law will enable sailing vessels from the
New England coast to secure contracts to
deliver materials and supplies. One of
the big items of transportation that the
Maine sailing vessels are concerned about
is i,500, 900 barrels, or about ,0o1, 900 tons
of cement. Contracts will soon be
awarded for carrying this enormous guam
tity of cement to'Colon or La Boca on the
isthmus.
The delivery OF this cement, at the rate
OF $1,000 tons a month for the next three
years would keep feet of sailing craft
under full canvass. II makes just the kind
OF cargoes the Maine schooners would like
to have. or well-understood reasons,
however, including the higher prices that
American sesmen must be paid, foreign

ship-owners unless some advantage is al
lowed the latter by the war department.
Senator Frye drew the bill at the sug-
gestion of Maine ship-owners, and has
been guiding il along. He secured a fav-
orable report for it from his committee.
When he got it into the Senate he called
upon his colleague, Mr.. Hale, to help him
there.
The measure has been opposed in some
particulars, especially by the southern

Senator bale did not intend to particle
pate in the currency debate, but finally
did occupy some time at the request OF
Senator Aldrich. He is averse to speaking
in the Senate nowadays, unless it seems to
be very necessary. There are number OF
topics on which he must speak before the
session is over, especially with reference
to appropriations, which will soon be en-
crossing the law makers at that end OF the
capitol.
The House leaders are relying upon him
to help keep the total OF the navy ex-
penses down, especially the expenses for
the construction of new battieships. All
the men who have Immediately to do with
appropriations have to be much upon their
feet these days, talking to prevent such
large disbursements as would produce q

Representative Burleigh has recently
returned from flying visit to his home at
Augusta, whittier he went to deposit his
vote at the municipal election. As soon
as he was back in the House he resumed
his work of helping shape up matters for
the omnibus public building bill. Most
of the older members OF the public build
ings committee are busying themselves at
finding out where something like 200 new
public buildings ought to be placed in the
various states. Some localities, where the
needs OF the public service are less press
ing, must be satisfied with the purchase
of sites by the government. Other locali-
ties, where sites have already been pur-
chased, will be given buildings, and still
other localities will be given a total sum
for sites and buildings.
But il necessitates a world of parleying.
Every representative wants to get as much
oat OF the total carried by the omnibus
bill as possible. He sets forth his case as
attractively as he can to his best friend on
the committee, then to others Of the COM
mittee, then to the subcommittee, and
sometimes to the full committee. Time
and patience are required to adjust every
thing to the satisfaction of the greatest
number of representatives possible, demo-
Gratis as well as republicans, for as rule
there is not much politics in the making
up OF bill.
Gov. Burleigh is doing his full share OF
this preparatory work, which will
probably occupy him more or less for the
next two or three weeks. Like his three
colleagues from Maine, he has been rather
fortunate during the winter OF a do
nothing Congress, in LAYING considerable
committee work to look after, for mem
bers generally do not like TO loaf through
a session OF Congress.
