ion of Dana Estes, the Boston pub
Usher, who arrived yesterday on the
st. Louis, after a 25,000-mile journey
in Europe, Asia and Africa, former
Preident Roosevelt will find hunting
big game in East Africa like shoot
ing cows in a back yard"
''The antelopes and animals of that
kind are so tame," he said, that they
Craze along the railroad track and
scarcely look up as the trains go by.
l saw thousands of Zebras, antelopes
ostriches, etc. They were within a
few hundred yards of the train and
most of them never even so much as
lifted their heads as we went by"
Mr.. Estes visited Uganda, circled
completely around Victoria Nyanza,
pushed in through Rhodesia to Cape
Colony. His travels in Africa took
him inland as far as the Victoria Falls
on the Upper Zambesi.

Protect Your Mail.

More than thirteen million pieces
of mail matter were sent to the Dead
Letter Office last year, principally be-
cause of carelessness in writing the
addresses. If these thirteen million
pieces had been sent in packages hay
ing the address of the writer on them,
they would have been returned to the
writer instead of going to the Dead
Letter office Whether you live on a
farm or in town you should have
printed letter or note heads and en-
velopes. This printing is done quick
ly and cheaply at the Advocate office.

1t is manifest that to conduct the

PROGRESS OF Y. M. c. A.
HOVEY FOR EQUIPMENT NEARLY ALL
SECURED
FHort Now is to Provide a Mainte.
nance Fund

Those interested in a Y. M. G.. A.
hriIding for Westminster met at Fire
mems Hall Monday night, but the jani-
+or had neglected to provide heat, and
tho temperature was too cold to per-
mit a proper discussion of so import
ont a matter. 1t was decided to ad-
ionrn to meet Monday night, when an
otbpr meeting will be held at the same
MACE at the same hour, 7.30. Before
ppdiournment, Professor Mcdaniel, as
cbairman of the meeting, gave a brief
ont1ine of the work done up to the
,resent time, and expressed entire
confidence in its ultimate success.
In order that the public may un-
dprstand just what has been done, it
was decided that the report of the
financial committee should be read
and published in the papers.
The hall will be properly warmed
next Monday night, and a large at
tendance is requested. Please bear
in mind that the hour is 7.30 and not
Soclock.
The finance committee submitted
tbe following report:
We have at present pledge cards in
hand to the amount of $7,525, leaving
IN the required $500 a balance to be
secured of 1915.
We have heard reports of small
amounts that have been promised, but
for which no cards have been turned
in. These will probably aggregate $3.50,
and when brought in would reduce
the balance to be secured to $S25.
90
quite closely canvassed, it is the be-
lief of your committee that by strong
effort this balance could be made up
in a short time and the Y. M. G. A.
nut in a position to take over the
building.
For a long time the amount requir-
ed to secure the building, or at least
10 provide for suitably fitting it up,
seemed the biggest burden the finance
committee had to carry; but as this
has been practically cleared out Of
the way, the question of the annual
budget has pressed upon US.
1t was known from the beginning
that it would take a considerable
amount annually to meet the running
expenses of the Y. M. C. A, but just
how much it would take had not been
figured out until recently. 1t is clear
that these items must be provided
for: Salary for secretary, gymnasi-
UNI director and janitor; light, heat
and water rent; insurance, taxes and
ground rent; appropriations for the
epartments-Religiou social, physi-
cal; office expenses and incidentals.
Through correspondence with Y. M.
C. A. secretaries in towns of this size
and in other ways Oh investigation,
your committee has set down what it
regarded as conservative figures for
+boco f011oxrc.

WEDDING BELLS.

ding occurred at Hotel Commercial, Bel

of Prospect was welded to Mr.. Hugh
Bryant of Belfast. The ceremony took

H. H. Gray, brother of the bride. The
simple and impressive ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. A. Z. Luce of Belfast at
8 clock p. M, in the presence of rela-
tives and invited friends OF both parties.
The single ring service was used The
ring-bearer was Master Erie Wayne
Grant. The bride was charming in a
gown of white jacquard, and carried a
bouquet of carnations. The going-aw
gown was a tailor suit with hat to match.

tee and Mrs. D. H. Gray, and is one of
Prospects charming ladies. The groom s

OUR WATER WAYS.

Lack of practical and commercial unity
in the entire inland water system of the
United States is the principal text of part
one OF the report on transportation by
water, now submitted to the president
by Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner
of corporations of the department of
commerce and labor
The commissioner diates in his letter
of transmittal upon the facts that while
the United States has altogether total
of about $500 miles of river navigation
of six feet depth and over, and more than
1000 miles of canals, these totals are
broken up into large number of unre-
lated parts by reason of different depths
and different conditions, and that the d.
verse nature of the floating equipment
increases this lack of organization. Many
vessels are built for special traffic or local
conditions, and are thus often not enter
changeable' over different, even though
connecting, routes.
In general, the commissioner shows
primarily the relations in which the in
land water ways Drivers and canals)
stand to the whole transportation system
of the country. While water ways are
subject to many limitations, they have
nevertheless great possibilities; they are
not now carrying anything like their
proper share of the country's traffic
This, the commissioner points out, is a
broad economic defect of serious disad-
vantage to the entire business of the
country, and he gives some of the rea-
sons for this condition.
This report will be of value in the pres
ent movement for an intelligent and eff
fective improvement of the country's
water ways. 1t points out the possibili-
ties of water transportation, the limita-
tons existing thereon, the reasons for
their present inefficiency, and the lines
along which action toward improvement
can properly be taken. 1t demonstrates,
finally, the necessity of dealing with the
water ways under broad and compre-
hensive plan rather than by localities and
sections
