schools of the State, in which event 1t
is believed it would enter upon most
successful career. Hampden Academy
was incorporated in March, 1903.
The old academies of Maine have had
an important part in the educational
advancement of the State and have sent
out many young men who have won
distinction in the professions ana IN
business pursuits. In this county we
have Freedom Academy, Incorporated
in 1896, whose doors we're closed for
time until that public-spirited citizen,
DR.. A. J. Billings, secured an appro-
priation from the State and started it
on a new career of usefulness. Wash
ington Academy in East Machias, es-
tablished in 1923, has long been noted
for its distinguished alumni, among
whom are many college professors and
presidents, journalists, authors, pub
fishers and successful business men. AT
the other end of the State is the widely
known Bridgton Academy in North
Bridgton, whichlwill this year observe
its centennial, and which is the alma
mater of long line of notable persons.
That these old academies should have
held their own, with the increasing num-
Der of High schools and general educa-
tional advancement, is convincing proof
as to their continued usefulness.

An attempt will be made to ship live

An. attempt will be made to ship live
Holsters across the Atlantic. The
Kaiser Wilhelm II, one of the German
liners, has been fitted with tanks in
which it is claimed the crustaceans may
survive the voyage and arrive on the
other side in good condition for the
broiler. twenty-five or more years ago
an attempt was made to carry live
Holsters to England in sailing vessel.
A Halifax man bought brigantine
and fitted her with tanks and she
sailed from the Newfoundland or Lab
rador coast for England with cargo of
live Holsters. We do not know the
particulars further than that the ven
ture was unsuccessful and resulted in
a financial loss of some $4,000. Later
Maine man residing in Nova Scotia
conceived the idea of canning Holsters
for the English trade and interested
some American packers in the project.
They established canning factories on
the Nova Scotian coast where Holsters
were plentiful and we believe the bust
ness proved profitable. Oysters have
been shipped to England from this
country for many years, and no doubt
a success may be made of the shipment
of live Holsters.

IT WAS 1NCENDIARISM.
People of Lincolnville Aroused Over The
Burning of Tranquility Grange Hall.

People of Lincolnville Aroused Over The
Burning of Tranquility Grange Hall.
The fire which destroyed Tranquility
Grange hall in Lincolnville Monday night,
MAY 25th, was discovered about mldnlght
and was then so far advanced that nothing
could be done to stay its progress. The
building was about two-thirds completed
and was burned to the ground. The actual
money loss is estimated at about 81 200, and
there was a builders insurance OF $1,000 on
the property. But the money loss is regard
ed as secondary by the Changers and the
people of Lncolnvlle in view of the fact
that there is conclusive evidence that the
fire was of incendiary origin, shavngs sat
urated in oil having been found near the
ruins of The burned building. Tranquility
Grange had just paid off the Indebtedness
| on fine building costing about $4,000 when
it was burned last September. 1t was only
partially insured. There were suspicious
of incendiarism at that time, but there had
been a dance in the hall the night before
and the theory that the fire might have
originated from a cigar stub thrown into a
DOX COuGdlUluS "ao SCuCtaiy az
cepted Now it is believed that that fire
was incendiary also, and the fact is recalled
that Farmers Pride hall in Lincolnville was
burned some years ago. That also is now
believed to have been of incendiary origin.
1t is no wonder that the community is
wrought up, and that Tranquility Grange
proposes, instead of using the insurance
money to rebuild, to devote it to tracing
down and bringing to punishment the
party who it is believed has lost to them
two halls within the year past. In pursu-
ance of this object the trustees of the
Grange secured the trained bloodhounds
from the State prison at Thomaston, but
before they could be started on their man.
hunt May 9th heavy shower oblterated
the scent. Friday detective Leader Of Lew
iston was called to the scene and it is
thought that the evidence is sufficient to
enable him to trace the guilty party or par
ties. The selectmen have begun a rigid in
vestigation and the matter will not be al
lowed to drop until all means for detecting
the miscreant are exhausted.

The Shoe Situation.

Shoe manufacturers are receiving more
orders, although business still compares
unfavorably with former seasons. Best
contracts are for medium and low priced
calf goods, and orders from the west show a
good gain over last weeks figures. Jobbers
are still disposed TO confine operations to
delivery not later than August Prices are
well maintained and the warm weather has
stimulated the demand from nearby retail
ers for summer specialties. Improvement
is slow but definite in the demand for
leather, and tanners anticipate further pro-
gress as the season for fall shoes advances.

A former resident of Belfast has sent
us copy of the Gardner, Mass, News,
in which is printed a special from Win
chendon, from which we quote as fol
lows:
Voters and heavy taxpayers in town
are often heard during the present
business depression to inquire which OF
the shrewd business men of large af-
fairs were the instigators and advocates
of the new stone crusher recently pur-
chased by the town at cost of over
So. 300. and which now stands in much
more ornamental than useful position
in the gravel bank on Jackson avenue,
because figures indicate that the out
put of the stone crusher can be pur
chased from the car at the Boston &
Maine yard at lower figures than at the
crusher.
The road surveyor of Winchendon in
an interview said he believed it was a
mistake to buy the rock crusher. 1t is
found that better quality of crushed
rock than can be produced in Winchen-
don can be bought at least 25 cents per
ton cheaper than the rocks can be gath
cred and hauled to the local crusher.
That was the experience of our neigh
boring city of Rockland, and it was ac-
quired some years before Belfast made
like investment, which will no doubt
result as did the Rockland venture.
The Rockland crusLer was used for a
short time one season and has since
been idle 1t does not appear that
Rockland or Winchendon paid one
thousand dollars for site for their
crushers Oh high ground with no sup
Div of stone near at hand, or expended
5000 or $500 for building. The city
of Boston has eight rock crushers, cost
ing about 5000, 900, and has offered them
for sale to the highest bidder. The
highest offer for any of the eight was
s3OOo-some $4,000 for what cost
100000. The city of Boston recently
investigated the stone crusher propo-
sition and it was found that the city
was paying its street department nearly
So a ton for home crushed rock, which
could be purchased elsewhere for little
over 81 ton.

Attention is called to letter On the
end page in which the writer asks for
answers to the question, '1s prohibition

was received we have received a sup

says that the facts obtained in his in
yestigation will be submitted for yeri-
fcation to committee appointed, If
possible, by the residents Of Maine who
reply to his question. There are fur
Their suggestions in this later letter,
publication OF which is necessarily de-
ferred until next week. Meanwhile we
invite consideration of the question
presented. .e
By the deciding vote of the mayor
Belfast is to pay $500 for a second
hand steam fire engine. There was a
majority in the council in favor of this
purchase, and with Alderman Hatch
absent there was a tie vote in the board
of aldermen-Aldermen Frost and
Rogers opposed and Aldermen Dyer
and Mayo in favor. The mayors vote
turned the scale. The committee ap-
pointed to ascertain the sentiment of
citizens on this question found in
favor of buying steam fire engine, II
opposed and % non-committal. The
mayors attempt to avoid the RESPONSE
bility for this expenditure of the tax
payers money signally failed, and
when this 800 is expended would it
not be proper to charge it up to the
mayors election expenses?
One of our Maine exchanges endorses
the statement of the st. Louis Repub-
lie that Hon. Charles E. Littlefield was
driven out of Congress by the Speak
er's gavel and his committee on rules. :"
= Hon. Thomas B. Reed left Congress for
the same reason that Mr.. Littlefield re-
tires from public life, viz, to make pro-
vision for his declining years by resum-
ing the active practice of his profession.
Mr.. Reed-Czar Reed, the Democrats
called him-certainly was not driven
out of Congress, nor was Mr.. Little
field. MI. Reed was very successful in
cd
will be. He would have continued a
poor man had he remained in Congress.
We believe Senator Frye is poor man
today, and Senator Hale would be had
he been obliged to depend on his salary
alone.
In an address before the students OF
the University of Chicago last week,
David r. Forgan, president of the
National City Bank of Chicago, sale
that he had heard Bryan speak for ar
hour recently on banking problems "bu
all the time he spoke could find moth
ing in his talk to indicate that he hat
the slightest conception of what banl
deposit is, and yet Mr.. Bryan is goinl
about giving advice on how to stop o
prevent a panic" Yet Mr.. Bryan mus
have quite healthy bank account o
his own. His net income from hi
weekly paper, The Commoner, is SAT-
to be 100000 per annum, and if h
should be nominated for President it i
estimated it would yield him $3.50, 90
annually. No wonder he is seeking tn

In his remarks before the Young
Mems Republican Club of Belfast last
week Hon. William 7. Haines spoke Of
the Importance of forest preservation
as means of conserving the water
powers of the State. In this connec-
ton the following extract from re-
cent issue of the Boston Herald will be
of interest:
This section of the country is great
storehouse of power. Its rivers possess
a greater value than is contained in the
coal and mineral deposits of the great
mining States. The rivers of Maine
alone contain undeveloped water pow
ers to the amount of millions of units
Experiment has shown that the enOr,
nous tidal power of the Maine coast
will probably be utilized in the neal
future. Maine alone could supply New
England with electric power, light and
heat, more than sufficient to make uI
for the loss of the coal supply. When
the coal beds of the country are ex
hausted, the rivers and tides of New
England will still be potent.
The forests act as reservoirs, retain
ing the moisture which comes in the
form of rain from the sky and giving it
out gradually, thus maintaining a uni
form water supply and preventing such
disastrous floods as that recently report
ed in Texas, when many lives were lost,
millions of dollars worth of property
and 1000 people were rendered home
less in the city of Dallas alone. Many
of our readers can no doubt recall
streams which once carried mills but
now are little more than dry beds the
greater part of the year, and streams
! formerly navigable for small vessels
that now, will hardly float skiff. Elec
tricity is evidently to furnish the light
heat and power of the future, and with
| the high prices of coal and wood it mus,
be generated by water power to be avail
able to the many. Mr.. Haines is right
in considering forest preservation
very important matter, and it shoule
receive legislative attention at the
earliest possible moment.
In connection with the resignation Of
the present principal of Hampden Acad
envy writer in the Bangor Commercial
says:
Several philosophical citizens fee
that with the growing prosperity Of
Hampden as a residential town, thu
time has come for new and larger life
for the old academy, An increased en-.
endowment, more liberal support on TIT
part of the town, would mean a large
number of residents of the desirable
sort, better system of public schools
a larger patronage from ten or . dozer
towns for which Hampden Academy il
the logical educational center.
1t is said of this academy that "dur
ing the hundred years of its existence
it has sent forth many now wealthy o
well. TODD alumni, and it only need
that an organized and concentrated ef
fort be made to rally these to the sup
port of this deserving institution" 1
is proposed that the present small en-
dowment should be raised to tigur
that would place the school, in it's build
ings, equipment and teaching forces, O.

committee of the Board of Education
tomorrow night to explain why his
visits to the schools of his district have
been so '~infrequent."
Action was taken because of a letter

ers. while the Board of Education en-
ploys them. Mr.. Chandler wrote that he
had addressed a letter to DIR. O'Reilly
September II last, asking him to explain
why he did not visit the schools, and
that his letter has been ignored.
Superintendent of Schools A. B.
Poland has taken the matter up, and
the principals in DR.. O'Reilly's district
have reported to him the number of
calls made by DR.. O'Reilly.
The committee will hear the testi-
mony and make a recommendation to

a medical inspector has been charged
