The SHOE SITUATION.

More improvement is reported in the
footware Industry, eastern wholesalers
operating more freely, especially in
spring lines of calf and patent leather
goods. Much of this business is placed
with the stipulation that contracts may be
increased or reduced 10 per cent. next
month. jobbers in the East are buying
in advance of actual needs for the first
time in many weeks. Prices are unchang-
ed, as a rule, but there are predictions
of higher figures before the end Of the
wear. More interest is also displayed IN
kid shoes, that have been been an espec-
tally quiet feature. The increasing optim-
ism of shoe manufacturers is pronounced,
one evidence being the interest in the
leather market. Purchases of sole are be-
lieved to aggregate half million sides
at Boston alone during the past week. -

PRIZES Fer FORESTRY TRACTS.

PORTLAND, Me, Oct. 30. Benjamin c.
Jordan of Alfred has submitted to Gov.
Cobb proposition providing for prizes
for forestry tracts, which it is believed
is one of the greatest steps toward in
ducement Of intelligent forest cultivation
yet taken by any individual: The prizes
are in cash and range from $500 to S25, in
five steps. The forest trees Of commerce
are selected, in the order of their import
ance to Maine as Mr.. Jordan sees them,
but the variety is sufficiently broad to
permit the competition Of any owner of
forest land in any part of the State; Mr..
Jordan gives to the State $1,000, which is
to be held in trust perpetually and invest,
ed. At the end Of each IS years period
the income to the amount of $1,000 is to be
distributed according to the provisions OF
the gift.

CHILDREN CAMPAIGN.
Bitter Battle For Betterment Waged In
George Junior Nation. Citizens OF Ju-
yenile Reprblics Stirred by Politics.

venile Republics Stirred by Politics.
NEW York, Nov. 2. Returns from
the first national campaign ever waged
by the citizens of the George Junior Re-
public in California, Maryland, New
York and Connecticut were received in
this city today at the headquarters OF the
adult organization that is spreading this
movement for retaining incorrigible
boys and girls throughout the country.
In the miniature. republics at San Fer
nando, Annapolis Junction, Freeville and
Litchfield, where the four original States
of the new juvenile nation have just been
organized, several hundred "citizens, -
less than eighteen, have worked out for
themselves their own parties, platforms,
candidates and campaign plans just as in
dependently and perhaps more vigorously
than their elders in the larger republic.
In all this electioneering woman's rights
have been upheld by the girls of these
unique communities, who proved to be
among the best spell-binders, politicians
and voters of all the young strugglers for
better things.
Full tickets for president, vice-pres-
ident, district attorney, penal authorities
and secretaries of State and treasury
were put in the field by the youngsters,
who according to the George idea were
left entirely to their own initiative and
will have to abide by the consequences.
If the incoming administration of boys
and girls fails to keep its pledges or
proves committed to measures that work
out wrong in the youthful self-govern-
ment, reform measures and an even more
fierce battle at the polls next year will be
undertaken by the ''citizens," as has
often happened at the parent George
Junior Republic where child rule and
self-reform have worked themselves out
with success for the last fourteen years.
Regulation of the labor which each
youngster soon finds he must do to make
livelihood in the little communities; and
the question Of changing the currency,
which each learns to earn, save and
spend thrifty, are two of the issues
over which the new nation of boys and
girls have been struggling in this nation
al campaign. Exact determination OF
the constitution and laws which they
have framed as well as their interpreta-
ton by the juvenile office holders, also
takes a.leading part in the platforms of
both parties. The labor agitator, dema-
gogue and socialist is this year IN evil
dence, in. youthful prototypes, among
the citizens of all the George Junior Re-
publics; but the history of the original
republic here shows that the children
turn in the end to just about the same
conservatism as holds among their lead-

The Waldo County Hospital is an in
stitution Incorporated under the laws OF
M aine and was opened about the middle
of November, 1904. A full record of the
work to it's credit during the past four
years would show it to be eminently de-
serving of the support it has received
from the public, would demonstrate the
need for such an institution in the COM
munity and warrant an appeal for means
to enhance its usefulness. The hospital
building, erected by the late David Pelrce
for home is three-story house, with
well lighted cellar and occupies an ideal
site fer such an institution. 1t stands
back from the street and away from
other buildings upon an eminence over
looking the city, bay and river. Good
drainage, good air and plenty of sunshine
are assured, and the views from the Win
dows are simply magnificent. In secur-
ing this fine building and in providing its
equipment the Womans' Hospital Ald
Society, an auxiliary branch of the IN
stitution, has rendered and is still render
ing valuable assistance, both In funds ana
services.

VERDICT IN THE GOULD DAMAGE SUIT

BANGOR, Me-, Oct. 49, A verdict in the
$50, 900 damage suit of Mrs. A. S. Gould
and her husband, F. Otis Gould of Old
Town, against the Maine Central railroad
was reached at 3. Is this afternoon. Mrs.
Gould was awarded ST. 900 and F. Otis
Gould $4,000. The jury was out for two
and half hours. This case has been one
of the most important civil actions in
this court for years and was on trial for
one week, when nearly 100 witnesses
were examined. The plaintiff, Mrs.
Gould, claimed to have sustained injuries
for life as the result of an accident while
riding in train of the defendant corpor-
alton. The defence admitted her con-
dition, but claimed that it was the result
of previous illness and operations, and
not from the accident, which they claim
was but slight jar caused by running
into an open switch and striking some
freight cars. The medical testimony
took up two days of the trial. Hon.
Herbert M. Heath was the senior coun-
sci for the plaintiff and Louis C. Stearns
for the defence A motion for new
trial has been filed.

WOOD PULP AND SAW Mill WASTE.

To insure a pulp wood supply to meet
adequately the future needs of the coun-
try seems one Of the most important of
the many forest problems of the United
States. Statistics collected by govern
ment experts, however, show that there
are possibilities in the field of invention
for the relief of the drain on the coun-
try's remaining pulp wood forests by
devising means of utilizing saw-mill
waste.
1t is estimated that there are IL mil
lion cords of slabs destroyed in refuse
burners of the lumber mills of the coun-
try each year. The wood used for pulp
last year amounted to approximately 4
million cords, about quarter of which
had to be imported. The mill-waste
estimate is based on recent canvass of
some of the larger mills of the country
by the United States Forest Service,
which established the interesting fact
that mills having an aggregate cut Of
5, 44O million board feet had final waste
of $50, 900 cords of slabs after the best
had been used for lath. Assuming these
m ills to be representative, it is seen that
there is still considerable waste in for
est products at the mill even after the
earnest efforts of lumbernen during the
last ten years to bring about closer
utilization of the whole tree.
These figures make it look as if Amer
lean inventors, who are performing
wonderful facts in other fields, should
get down to the consideration of methods
to make these waste slabs available for
the pulp makers. Work along this line
would also be likely to show the way for
utilization of thousands of tons of saw
dust which are now wasted each year.
1t is true that some utilization is being
made of mill waste at present, but in
most cases it is only the larger and
more modern plants that are even make
ing any attempts in this line. Then, as
is, the plants which use the waste
slabs, after laths are made, often waste
the sawdust, and those which use the saw
dust waste the slabs. The slab residue
from the lumber cut of the county is esti-
mated to amount to about IA million cords,
of which about million, with an average
value of 81. 40 a cord, is sold for fuel,
31-2 million burned by the mills for
fuel, and IL millions sent to the refuse
burners. This last figure shows the
enormous quantity Of forest product that
is pure waste.
The iron furnace Stag heaps have been
Sc lied upon by the brick maker, and the
screening dump of the coal mines has be-
come a valuable source of raw mater
ial for the briquette manufacturer. Ex-
perts say that it may prove possible to
make just as good use of the waste heaps
of lumber mills if slabs and sawdust can
be converted into pulp.
