THE DROUTH IN MAINE.

Financial losses aggregating a great
sum are being caused as a result of the
drouth in New England, and the total
grows larger each day which passes with
out bringing the needed rain. Serious as
the situation is at present, it will grow
rapidly worse unless there are immedi-
ate and copious rains, for many manu-
featuring industries, their production al
ready curtailed as result of scanty
water supply, will be obliged to close
down entirely if the supply is not in
creased very shortly. Boston Globe.
This opening paragraph is followed by
detailed statements as to the situation,
which is said to be especially grave in
the paper manufacturing industry, in
which large quantities of water are nee
essary, not only in the making of the
pulp and in operating the machinery,
but in washing and bleaching the paper
stock. Naturally an increase in the
prices on all grades of paper is predict
ed. Throughout all New England, says
the Globe, the farmers and dairymen are
not only suffering much inconvenience,
but, in the aggregate, great financial
losses as a result of the drouth, because
of the shortage of feed and the effort
and cost of providing water for live stock
and for domestic purposes. The water
situation in the vicinity of Lewiston is
said to be more serious than it has been
for many years. Few of the mills have
any auxiliary steam plants, and low
water means shutting down of the mills
to half time or even less, and that means
great loss in wages and consequent SUI
fering. The Saco river is lower than 1t
has been since the early COS and many
of the small industries like saw and grist
mills are running by steam on account OF
the low water, and some of the plants
are shut down entirely because of the
lack of water. Augusta is confident her
water supply will hold out during the
winter, but the Kennebec is very low.
"Unless rain comes soon we shall be
obliged to shut down the plant" said
agent A. S. Pratt of the Edwards manu-
ldCluI ing company Liz >oAAP.N'AJ ~"~
no supplementary steam plant. About
HOO people are employed.
On the other hand it is reported that the
drouth conditions in the Penobscot and
Kenduskeag valleys are not serious.
While the manufacturing establishments
along the river have no water to spare,
not one is seriously affected. The saw
mills are shut down for the winter. The
farming districts are affected the most.
Wells and springs are dry in many places,
although the general use of arteslan
wells in this section by the dairy farm
ers insures a good supply. Some farm
ers are hauling water long distance for
their stock. While rain is much needed
to fill up the swamps and improve lum-
boring conditions it is said that upon the
whole the drouth conditions as yet are
not materially injuring business or manu-
featuring.
Mondays rain, although not general,
has improved conditions somewhat, but
more rain is needed.

VETERANS, MEETING IN MONROE.

The Waldo County Veteran Association met
with E. M. Billings Post, Monroe, December

member of the 18th Maine in which he served

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infiamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for

In an able article in the December
number of The North American Review
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge discusses the
Significance of the Results of the Elec-
tion" The general significance of the
election to which Senator Lodge calls
attention is the fact that the Republican
party seems to retain the confidence Of
the country in undated measure. The
special significance of the election is
that the country at large has set the seal
of its approval upon the administration
and the policies of Mr.. Roosevelt. Sen
ator Lodge dwells upon the surprising
fact that in the forty-eight years which
have elapsed since 1860 the Republicans
have had complete control of the Govern
ment for thirty years, and besides have
controlled one or more branches of the
ocrats having had complete control of
the Government for only two years. He
says:
at has come to pass that the people
have again committed the Government
of the country to the Republican party
for another four years. This renewal of
power brings with it heavy responsible
ties, for there are many very serious
questions Just now to be dealt with at
WASHINGTON. 1t is not moment for
wild exultation on the part OF Republi-
cans, but for very sober reflection as to
the duties which lie before them. The
party is fortunate in having as President
one of the best men ever chosen to that
great office. No man better equipped
and better trained was ever nominated by
any party for the Presidency. He not
oniv takes with him his training and ex-
perience. as we'll as wide knowledge
of the work of administration and of di-
plomacy, but he is imbued with fine
spirit Of disinterestedness and has COM
giete sense of his great responsibilities.
He is entirely fit to be President OF the
United States, and it is not possible to
give him higher praise: Under his
leadership, we may confidently hope
that the Republican party will meet the
responsibilities which lie before it as
successfully as it has met them in the
past, for responsibility, is not new to the
Republican party; and, although there
have been moments in it's career when 1t
has hesitated, it has never in the end
failed to rise to great opportunity or
shrunk from settling difficult and per-
picking questions.
