The Wylie Permanent Camping
Company of the
Yellowstone National Park.

The last opportunity for the spe-
ciaI excursion rates to the Yellow
stone National Park is only a few
days hence. For trains arriving in
Livingston and Gardiner on the
morning of Sept. l, the Northern
Pacific will sell round trip tickets to
Gardiner from Glendive for one and
a half fare for the round trip. The
Wylie rate for a six-day ticket in the
Park is $40 and this includes all nee
essary expenses from the time the
tourists reach Gardiner until they
leave there. The necessary rate for
the trip is therefore $3.50. The
chief rush of the season is now over,
and for those who can take a late
vacation trip, this will be delight
full time to visit the Park. The flies
and the mosquitoes have disappear
ed. Many who spend the whole
season in the Park, think that just
after the early frost is the time of
greatest charm in the Park. This is
a most economical time to choose,
for only for the day noted above is
this rate in force. The Wylie agents
in uniform meet every train at Gar
diner and at Livingston. Write to
the company in advance if possible
when you are coming.

WELL KNOWN IN TERRY

The Yellowstone Monitor of Aug.
Ii, in its story of the Northern Pa
cific wreck ass AIIard has the follow
ing to sly:
Tuesday forenoon another victim
was found under the wreck, badly
mangled, and was brought on No. to
this city. A letter found in his pocket
was addressed to Chester Peterson at
Terry and was from W.. i. Peterson
et Portal y 2 presumably broth
er of the deceased. A watch was also
found on his person. So 1t is surmised
that the last victim has been in the
neighborhood of Terry for some time.
1t is thought not unlikely that other
deaths have occurred and that the
bodies may still be under the ruins. =
Mr.. Peterson's friends here at once
took steps to verify the report and
found it true. He was taken to Glen
dive for burial.
He had recently located on home
stead adjoining Terry, and while he
had been hSs-Ss but short time, had
formed many acquaintance and be-
come quite popular.

THURSDAY. AUG. 27, 1908.
PRATTLE OF A LUNATIC

The Calf overreached himself more
than ever in his insipid prattle last
week, concerning his relations to the
saloon men. Stating that he was will
ing to make affidavit before notary
public that he had never solicited ads
or subscriptions from saloon men, the
Calf knowingly commits himself to
the uttering Of sworn lies, which go
by the name of perjury according to
the statute books-a serious crime in
any county, state or nation and one
that has landed many unfortunates
behind prison bars. It is a fact of
general public knowledge that this
journalistic freak has done consider
able business with the saloon men and
collected his money for the same. The
Review has had the affidavit habit in
time past and the general public knows
we'll how little dependence to place in
any of it's raucous offerings. But we
must admit that surprise controlled us
for time when the Calf admitted in
black and white that he was willing
to make perjurer of himself in order
to back up some of his former foolish
offerings. However, "chicken come
home to roost. (" Our first opinion of
him is being justified a hundred fold
his extreme smallness and meanness is
daily more apparent.
In the same vein he states that he
never controlled the advertising of the
1907 Fair Premium List. but that he
was compelled to submit to the choice
of other persons concerning his adver-
Using. This statement reminds US of
trying to build castle on mud foun-
dation-the topple is near. The Mont
tor can state positively that every
successful bidder HAS controlled the
advertising in every Fair list so far
issued. The Monitor was the success
full bidder on the 1908 list, and all the
ads were solicited and collected for
from this Office. So it has been every
other year, and when the Calf pub
lished liquor ads he did so because he
desired to fill the space. If the sue
cessful bidder did not control the ad-
vertising, what would be the object
III bidding for the privilege? Intelli-
gent people can judge for themselves
without any assistance from bawling
Calf.
It seems to us that the Calf makes
further fool of himself, as we'll as an
incipient criminal in this instance, ev-
cry time his offerings are voiced in
black and white.

Everything in Readiness
For the Opening.
Splendid Program Arranged
For the Entire Week.
The Midway Is Getting Merry and
The Early Corners Are Busy.

Bangor, Me-, August 24-(SpeciaD.-
Everything is in readiness tonight for
the opening Tuesday of the Eastern
Maine State fair in this city. For
months past the officials of the fair
have been straining every endeavor to
make the exhibition of 1908 the best
that has been held in the history of
the Eastern Maine Association. Not
only is the effort of the officials to be
shown in fine race program and in
excellent exhibits, but it is also dis
played in liberal purses which have
been hung UP for the benefit of breed
ers. stock raisers. farmers. artists. and
in fact every department of en-
deavor which should be represented at
an exhibition which has for its object
the display of the resources of the
state of Maine.
The fair grounds presented busy
scene today. At the exhibition hall
in the cattle department, about the
horse sheds, in fact all over the
grounds sounded the merry din of
preparation. Eating tents of various
descriptions We're being erected, and
down on the Midway the various
shows We're getting under way, and
some We're doing a small business to-
dav. entertaining the usual crowd
which likes to be on hand early and
see what the exhibition is going to be
like.
But the thing which was of the
greatest moment to all who are at all
concerned with the present weeks ex-
hibition was the weather. Today the
skies smiled their prettieSt on the
preparations for the great show, and
it was wish which almost amounted
to a prayer that the weather would
be one half as pleasant throughout
the week. If there is anything which
is requisite to good and successful
fair it is good weather. This year
which is to be one of the best if care
flu! and painstaking preparations
have anything to do with it, good
weather is needed more than ever be-
fore
Fine programs of racing and sports
have been arranged for each day of
the fair, and those who attend should
plan to spend more than one day at
the fair if possible.
AS in past years the Kennebec Jour
nal will be represented and visitors
will be always welcome at the Kenne-
bee Journal building.
