True to His Oath of Office.

In commenting editorially upon the
active enforcement work of John A.
Mooers, the sheriff of this county, the
Waterville Sentinel in a recent issue
says:
Sturgis commissioners may come
and Sturgis com missioners may GO but
there Is no excuse for the Sturgis COM
mission to bother their heads about
enforcement in Somerset county SO
long as John Mooers enjoys his health.
And If exercise will make man
healthy, Sheriff Mooers is destined
to prove the uselessness of such a
statute, as Henry Sturgis will forever
go down in Maine as being its parent.
There is large amount of rum and
whiskey guZZled down in Somerset
county every day. 1t has been that
way ever since grub was first toted
into the lumber camps of that region.
1t will always be so just as long as the
Kennebec river runs from Moosehead
to the sea. Sheriffs and their depu-
ties cannot stop the sale of the ardent
from the Canadian line down to the
Kennebec county boundary. Some
Somerset sheriffs in the past did not
try to stop the sale of liquor. 1t was
more profitable and easier to let the
liquor traffic alone. Some of these
multiplying sheriffs were good Repubii-
cans elected upon prohibitory plat
form. They know how to smile bland
ly at the good church people and wink
at the same time to the other fellows
who were supplying the husky river
drivers and wood choppers with all
na do hai IN ,i
Sheriff Mooers is a Democrat, a
thoroughbred Democrat. He doesn't
believe in either the prohibitorv law
or the Sturgis law. But he obeys the
laws as he found them. He is making
the rumselling business in Somerset
county all the way from the Canadian
border at Dennistown to Burnham a
lively occupation. They do not know
when Mooers and his deputies are
coming but they know that he will
come sometime when the wireless has
not whispered of his approach. He
knows the territory, the main roads,
the cross roads and the by-paths. He
can make all the turns in the night
and that is what he is doing most of
the time.
Somerset county is getting some
real genuine enforcement. There is
no hypocrisy about it. Somerset's
sheriff Is keeping in mind the oath of
office he took, of the promise he made
last year. If other sheriffs would do
the same thing and display the same
honest activity, there would be no
need for Sturgis commissioners to go
poking around any place or to serve
warning on any sheriff to get busy
and do his duty or have it done for
him.

Doves Nest In Maple Tree.

A pair of doves have made their
home in the hollow of one OF the ma
pies at the residence of Mrs. Ed.
Page on High street. Members of the
family noted them there about the
middle of June and one week ago the
sound of young birds commenced to
be heard. 1t is plain that a family of
two or three little ones has been
Matched.
So far as the REPORTER is able to
learn this is the first instance on re-
cord that doves have nested in this
manner. They usually accept invi-
tation to inhabit dove cotes or build
on projections about the caves of
buildings. They also seem to like
the under work of wooden bridges
and make their nests on the timbers
beneath such structures. So far as
the hollow of trees is conce rned, how
ever, the present instance seems to
be decided novelty.
About the time the young were
hatched, the parent birds were seen
to fly from the nest with pieces of the
shells and it is evident that they were
all taken to a considerable distance.
Careless house keepers in the bird
world would have simply dumped the
shells on the edge of the nest, not SO
our tree nesting pair of doves. 1t is
hardly to be supposed, however, that
regard for the appearance of their
surroundings could have been their
motive. More likely they under
stood that shells on the ground at the
foot of the tree would guide cats or
their other natural enemies to their
home, result which they were will
ing to take much pains to avoid.
These prodigies of the dove kind
are not content with nesting in a
heretofore unheard of place, for their
species, but they actually perch upon
the branches of the maple, something
which doves have never been known
to do before. They are very interest
ing to watch as they go about their
daily round, which consists mainly in
search for food. During the first
week after the arrival of the younger
members of the family, the male and
female took turns at the nest, but
now they seem to feel this no longer
necessary and they roam about to-
gether, returning to their home sew
eral times an hour.
1t is quite probable that when these
nestlings, three or more az the case
may be, come to maturity they may
be distinguished i'll the dove world
as being the only ones of their kind
born in tree. The REPORTER would
like to know if any of its readers
have known of other instances of
doves nesting in trees or perching
among the branches.

Uncle Sam, in the course of time,
and in renewing his age, is again "rich
enough to give every man farm"
He has taken the first steps in throw
ing open to white settlement of more
than 100000 acres of agricultural and
grazing lands in the northwest. The
government offers to settlers three
Indian reservations-that of the
Occur d'Alene Indians in northern
Idaho, that of the Spokanes in Wash
ington and that of the Flatheads in
Montana. Registration will begin the
9th Of August. About $3.50 farms will
be opened for settlement. The lands
are not to be given away, but must be
paid for within FIVE years on terms
fixed by the government, at the rate
of from e1.25 to 800 per acre. The
farms to be sold measure 100 acres
each.

A mammoth cave has been discov-
cred in northwestern Arizona, con-
tanning caverns large enough in
which to. place a city office building,
with natural stone bridges exceeding
in beauty and grandeur those of Utah
and Virginia. Stories of the exist
ence of these wonderful natural cav
erns have been told by Indians of
that section for centuries, but were
thought by white men to be merely
legends of the aborigines. Now they
are vouched for by scientific men.

had returned from a five weeks va.

Narrowly Escape Serious Injuries.

Messrs. L. L. Morrison and j. R.
Mcclellan were returning from the
brickyard on the South Side of the
river last Thursday, in the formers
team, when Mr.. Morrison suggested
that they drive through the cemetry
and look it over. Just as they were
beginning to turn, Mr.. Mcclellan
tried to warn his companion of ap-
prehensive danger as he saw an auto
mobile coming at full speed but a
short distance off, and headed disect-
ly for them, but since the auto had
not "honked" they were taken una
wares and time was not sufficient to
allow their escape. In spite of the
chauffer's attempts to turn out, his
car smashed into the hind wheel of
the wagon, causing it to bend under.
Mr.. McClellen fortunately was un-
injured, but the other gentleman was
thrown out on to his back and quite
severly injured in his left arm and
leg. MIR. Morrison was taken home in
Mr.. Durrell's team, his wagon being
left at the latter's house. Although
he was badly bruised, Mr.. Morrison
is thankful to assure us that no limbs
were broken.

With distressing urinary disord-

Longfellow had the happy faculty
of remaining young. though his ad-

was growing old. In writing to g

how l can write so many things that

please say that there-is, in this neigh
borhood, or neighboring town pear

Old Orchard Excursion.

Old Orchard Beach is seemingly
more popular this year than ever be-
fore, and on Sundays the working
people from all over the state rem
devious there for cooling off spell,
to taste a shore dinner and to enjoy
the spectacle of the bathers. Last
Sunday occurred the annual excur-
sion from Rumford Falls and from
Rockland, with large attendance
from each place, and from the inter
mediate stations between these points
and Portland. Next Sunday, August
lst, it is the turn of Skowhegan and
Waterville to enjoy the day at the
seashore. The usual low fares are
offered by the Maine Central R. h.
and the service will be by special

Geo. w. Allen year ago returned
from the West to the old farm at
Harpswell Center. 1t comprises
about so acres OF land. He has an
acre of potatoes, half an acre of corn,
garden truck, etc. He believes in
Sheep and has a flock started. The
call for poultry, eggs, butter, cream,
garden vegetables, etc., is often way
beyond the local supply, and farmers
get good prices for their products.
Mr.. Allen is growing 140 chickens.
Just below him on the jackson farm a

Mr.. Allen carries on blacksmith shop
in connection with his farm, and peo-

Sudden Death of Mrs. Danforth.

Mrs. Elba Danforth died very sud
denly, Sunday evening, at her home
in the south part of the town. Mrs.
Danforth was injured about five
weeks prior to her death by being
thrown from team in which she was
driving, her horse having taken fright
at an automobile, and she sustained
serious fracture of one leg at that
time, but the bone was apparently
knitting we'll and she seemed to be
recovering from the effects of the ac
ci1ent. She had passed a comfort
abl day, Sunday, and had entertain
ed several callers. She retired just
before eight O'Clock with no unusual
symptoms, but was Immediately
seized with violent pains, which sub
sided only to recur more violently.
A physician was summoned by tele-
phone, but arrived too late, death oc-
curing about a half hour after the
first attack.
Mrs. Danforth's surviving relatives
are her husband, two sons, Lola and
Charles, both of Boston, brother, O.
A. Chase of Hartford, Conn. and two
half brothers, E. L. Morrow of Beth
lehem, N. H. and William Morrow.
The two sons, and the wife and daugh-
ter of Mr.. Charles Danforth, were at
Mrs. Danforth's home when she died,
and her half brothers arrived in
season for the funeral services, which
were conducted by Rev. George
Merriam of the Bethany Baptist
church, Wednesday, at II O'Clock.
The deceased was 58 years of age,
and had been married for nearly 40
years. She was an active member of

Keith's Boston Theater.

The public is certainly getting its
moneys worth at Keith's Theater
these days, for not only is the vaude
vile the strongest that could posi-
bly, be secured, but in addition, the
Fadettes, augmented to forty, are
giving concert preliminary to the
regular show.
Next week there is an attraction
that is bound to cause a lot of com
ment. 1t is call ga Night in a Mon
key Music Hall'. 1t was brought to
this country especially for the Keith
circus, and for the last few months
has been the biggest kind of sensa-
ton on the Hammerstein Roof Gar
den in New York. One of the largest
monkey companies ever brought to-
gether, and all of them trained to
give an entire performance.
