To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: It is one
year since l wrote you last. Now the battle is
over and we poor Democrats are beaten out of

you what Waldo county boy has done in Ok
lahoma in ten years. October goth took the
train at Oklahoma City for Driftwood, $50
miles, to see George W. Littlefeld He is the
Waldo county boy. He left Kansas ten years
ago with only 5000. He bought 80 acres of
land and ten acres with sod house. To-
day he has fine two-story house with brick
cellar, good outbuildings, five good wells, 40
head of fine cattle, 200 hens, so turkeys and 40
hogs, large peach orchard, and apples, plums
and strawberries. This year he raised 1900
bushels of splendid wheat, had 65 acres in corn
and 100 tons of hay This hay is worth So a
ton at the stacks, as it is alfalfa, the best Of
hay, and they get three crops each season. He
raises both sweet and Irish potatoes, and now

The Helpful Trolley.

The Augusta Board of Trade had banquet
at the new Augusta House last Thursday, at
tended by 25O guests. Mayor Plaisted, Hon
c. S. Hichborn and others responded to toasts
and all had words of cheer and encouragement
for their city Hon. Herbert M. Heath gave
toast on the trolley roads, saying that
than anything else just now they were benefit
ing and developing Augusta. He said he help
ed frame the first trolley charter in Maine and
with the exception Of few roads il and about
Portland had been connected. in legal way
with every trolley road in Maine There are
now, he said, 450 miles of trolley road in the
State, employing 1000 men, getting $l,0oooOo
in wages, costing $4OOOo0oo, with a net income
of So, 500, 900 and net earnings of 100000.
"The prospect is not far away" said Mr.
Heath "when a cross-country road will be
built from Togus to Warren connecting with
the RockIand Thomaston & Camden road, thus
opening up territory that will mean rev.
olutionizing of the trade for the city of Angus
ta The trolleys today mean more to the city
of Augusta than all the steam roads that are or
can be built to any point in the city Augusta
is today the center of system of $50 miles of
as fine electric lines as have been built in the
United States.''

FROM A JOURNAL SUBSCRIBER.

A Boston subscriber to The Republican Jour
nal in renewing his subscription has SOME very
pleasant things to say about the paper, and we
are tempted to print them, with the omission
of some purely personal paragraphs.
In renewing my subscription l would like te
say something about the paper, as many people
do when paying up. There are good many
things might say, too, for have been among
The Journals constant readers" wherever
fate may have placed me, during the last
twenty five years.
About everything in it, from the county cor
respondence to the advertisements, interests
me in one way or another.
The yacht and boat news l have always read
with avidity, and I'm sorry to find less of it
now than when was boy.
l never make up my mind regarding any
maritime event Of Importance along the Maine
coast until have seen the next weeks Journal
And for the current political situation, both
local and throughout the State, depend on it
entirely.
Before all else, however, think the personal
"reminiscences of the editor, with their clear
pictures from the life of generation now al
most past, are the best reading.
And lastly, the things The Journal does not
print, have, upon certain specific occasions, i'm
pressed me, and should not be forgotten among
its good points.

Launching of the Belfast.
Belfast People Handsomely Entertained In
Bath,

Hon. John S. Hyde, President of the Bath
Iron Works, extended general invitation to
the citizens of Belfast to attend the launching
of the turbine steamer Belfast last Thursday,
and forty-six responded and enjoyed the hos
pitalities of the Shipping City on that day.
There would have been larger representation
but for various reasons, one of which was the
necessarily early start and late return and the
uncertainty to weather conditions. 1t may
be said here that Belfast money was not cur
rent in Bath last Thursday, and the visitors
were given the freedom of the city and all that
it contained, and will long remember the cour
teses and hospitality extended on this occasion.
Orrin ]. Dickey had charge of the excursion
party, which left Lewis wharf little after
a. m. on the steamer Castine and had pleasant
run to Tillsons wharf, Rockland, arriving in
good season to take the a. m. train for Bath.
On arrival at Bath at 1920 a. m. the party
were met at the station by President Hyde
of the Bath Iron Works and escorted to the
Shannon House, which was their headquarters
for the day. After registering, Mr.. Hyde took
the visitors to the Bath Iron Works plant, where
they were given opportunity to inspect the
new steamer Belfast, the two torpedo boats in
course of construction and the various depart
ments of this important Maine industry.
At 11.45 special electric car conveyed the
Belfast delegation to New Meadows Inn for
complimentary banquet given by the Bath Iron
Works under tie direction of Treasurer Nc
Carly. 1t was of the shore dinners for
which this house has reputation all over the
State, and was admirably served and heartily
enjoyed. After dinner the party returned to
Bath, and proceeded to the scene of the launch
ing large platform had been erected at the
bow of the steamer, prettily decorated with
bunting and flags, and here the Belfast party
were stationed, with President Hyde Treasurer
H. H. Nee arty and other officials Of the Bath
Iron Works, Calvin Austin and others of the
Eastern Steamship Company. Miss Greenlaw

good for the time of the year AS we drove
along by the side of Georges Lake il the.

view of that beautiful sheet of water dotted
with the many islands. The water was as
smooth as piece of glass, and with the vapor
hanging over it made it sight long to be
remembered by the writer On reaching the
place of meeting found them just complet-
ing large and commodous stable for the
horses, and in the near future they intend to
build fine grange hall by the side of it. At
present they are holding their meetings in a
small hall over the store. This was the first
meeting of the Pomona with them, but they
entertained it in manner that would do credit
to an old grange. The visiting members, wish
ing to leave token for them to remember the

with money to buy new Bible for the altar

who earnestly believed in the principles of our

Thousands of Concentrations.

During the almost Is years that the Boston
Sunday Globe has printed its color supplement,
thousands of Communications have been re-
ceived from citizens in Boston and all over
New England. In fact, the color supplement
of the Sunday Globe has been indorsed by
people in all walks of life.
Remember that the Boston Sunday Globes
color pictures have long been welcome favor
ties to thousands of women and children in
New England, and that they are especially
designed to meet the demand for clean and
wholesome amusement.
The old-time favorites, Kitty, Danny and
Percy, Wisewinkers, the work of Billy the
Boy Artist and his friends, Prof O. Howe
Wise and l. B. Schmart are known from one
end of New England to the other. In fact, the
characters have become general favorites in
all New England households.
To please all the family, have the Boston
Sunday Globe, with its unrivaled color pic
lures, in the home regularly.
Mrs. E. L. Macomber, who has been visiting
her mother, Mrs. Fannie Scott, returned to her
home in Belfast Saturday. She was accom-
panied by her brother, John Scott, and her
niece, Miss Rose Thompson who are spending
