The Fair USAGE of Capital.

Oregon, having failed to persuade
Mr.. Hartman to build some much
needed railroads for it, is now serious
ly considering the proposition to build
them for itself A number of south
ern states also which, amused them
selves by batting the railroads are in
the same position. They are much in
need Of extensive railroad building to
develope their natural resources. but
find that outside capital cannot be
persuaded to embark in these enter
prises They have killed, for time at
least. if not permanently, all chances
of securing outside assistance in their
industrial development and growth. 1t
is evident that If they secure the rail-
roads they so much need they will be
obliged 10 build them themselves. Cap
ital is naturally timid and does not
come easily into communities which
maintain Il hostile attitude toward it
or refuse to treat it in a fair and gen.
erous spirit.

The Maine Coast.

(POrtldnQ AuNeTtiSeI
There comes from Washington
statement concerning the topogra phi
cal map of an area in the southeast
corner of Maine. The map was made
by the United States Geological sur
vey, half the cost being borne by the
State. In the area mapped are the
city of Passport and number OF the
nearby towns. The interesting thing
about the description of the map IS the
statement which is thrown in concern
ing the length of the coast OF Name
We are told that it is estimated at 2500
miles although in direct line 1t covers
but 200. In other words, if the coast
line OF Maine were taken and straight
ened out into one long stretch of sand
and rock there would be enough OF 1t
to reach five-sixths of the distance
across the continent. And outside OF
the few cities, nearly all of it is avail
able for cottage and hotel sites. Talk
about Maine being the playground OF
the nation--it is big enough to be the
playground of the civilized world Tor
beside, it's $500 miles of coast line there
are the shores of the hundreds of lakes
and ponds, the borders of the great
rivers, the banks of the myriad small
er streams, the slopes of the undulat-
ing hills and the snowcapped noun
tains, to say nothing of the dim and
cool recesses Of the primeval forests.
Let the word go forth that Maine has
a coast line $500 miles in length. twist
ing in and out to form many rocky
headland, commOdiOus harbOr, gllsten-
ing beach and picturesque cove. Let II
be known that here where the COOLING
breezes come fresh from the Cult OF
Maine are locations innumerable for
the cottage and the bungalow to say
nothing Of the gaudy caravansery and
the palatial summer home of the mil
lionaire. Besides the picture of the
wealth and opulence of Bar Harbor
place that of the equally beautiful
stretch of coast where the man of mod
crate means may find a cheerful and
health giving abiding place in the
pleasant summer weather The Port
land Board Of Trade has done much to
make known the attractions of the
Maine coast but the whole story mas
not vet been told. We have had only
a few chapters of it, And the -aoe
miles of coast line embody other sto-
ries. Where there is one summer nome
today there is room for a hundred in
the future. No state in the Union pos
sesses such combination of attrac-
tons as are found right here, down
east in Maine. 1t is an old story to
those of us whose lot is cast in TINS
northeastern corner Of the country. We
forget that with all our efforts there
are many in other parts of the land
who seldom think of Maine. Therefore
it is a good thing to keep telling the
story over again. The statement re-
gardng the new map and the coast
line which it in small part depicts IS
an excuse for repeating the tale OF
the delights of the Maine coast.

February.
erous spirit

All, February, here's to you,
Cold month of chilly SHOWS
Er-month of many driving rains
Or-pardon-good hard blows
Perhaps it should be written thus;
Sweet month of nice warm sun,
Or month of fur-ined overcoats,
But then, you've just begun.
Are you the month of dreary mud,
Or is it sleet. instead?
o balmy month-but hold-it is
Quite cloudy overhead.
Good month of Summer wearables
And ear muffs, furs and wraps.
Some time We'll know where you belong
Some time, dear month-perhaps.
You've been July and March and May
And January too;
You never tell, the day before,
Just what you're going to do.
o balmy month, o frigid month,
OF you We fain would sing,
But when a verse one way is writ,
You go and spoil the thing.

There has been a growing feeling IN
the country that Charles W. Morse
was not justly treated at his trial
that he was in fact made the scapegoa.
for general condition of affairs for
which he could not possibly have been
personally responsible. AS he says in
his interview he was made to be the
panic of $780," and, as such was given
sentence, entirely disproportionate
to any offense he committed against
the law. Even United States District
Attorney Simpson admits that Mr.
Morse was treated rather severely"
when the court refused to grant bail
pending the decision on his appe al.
There can be no doubt but what the
sober second thought of the American
people is coming very rapidly to the
conviction that the punishment melted
out to Mr.. Morse was exceedingly
harsh and entirely disproportionate to
any offence against the law which he
committed or was claimed to have
committed.

Writes correspondent from Otis
over in Hancock county: Talk of the
return Of wolves to Maine recalls to
the oldest settlers the time when they
roamed these parts night and day, in
search Of prey, and they wouldn't hest
tate to tackle a man after dark. Mrs.
Mrs. r. D. Warren. an old lady who.
when a child, lived near Beech hill
lake, d favoritc resort for the wolves,
tells of them coming boldly to the barn
after sheep in the winter when they
We're housed. She also well remem-
bers the day her father-Mr. Davis,
went to Ellsworth and was obliged to
walk home, a distance of Is miles.
When he got to the river bridge it
was dark 1t was there that pack
Of wolves scented him and followed
him home. At times when the road
was near the woods, they would come
SO close that he could see their teeth
and eyes. When he came to where the
Fraziers lived. the night having come
OF; intensely dark, he called and Dor
being almost forest at that time.
Still they followed on, with their hOr-
rible howles, regardless of the number
which Mr. Davis wounded. Finally he
reached home, almost exhausted. The
next morning several sheep We're found
dead in flock belonging to Grand
father Warren, whose pasture was
near the pine grove at Young's, where
the wolves gave up the chase of Mr..

More Apples Needed.

Radical changes are necessary in
the culture of apples on this CONT
nent or the United States and Can
ada will be forced in a few years to
import apples instead of exporting
them. If it had not been for the
enormous crops in the orchards of
the Pacific and northwestern states
and provinces this year an apple ia
mine would have resulted.
Many of the middle western and
eastern states reported small yields
this season, due to failures in nu-
merous instances, but generally be-
cause of pests. Orchards have been
neglected and in scores of places the
trees have been permitted to die be-
cause of the lack of even ordinary
attention.
In 1896 the total product of the
crop of the country was 69.O7O,OOO
barrels, or 1865, 900 bushels. Since
then hundreds of thousands of acres
have been added and yet the govern
ment reports show that the aggregate
crop in all the states in the Union
was not more than 25,000,000 bar
rels of 62,5OO,O00 bushels in 1908.
There will always be markets for
apples. There never can be an over
production of first class stock. 1t Is
in fact impossible at the present
time to produce the quantity of good
apples requisite to meet the demand.
This is evidenced by the fact that
England, Germany, France, Den
mark, Australia and the Orient are
already drawing on the orchards in
Washington, Idaho, Oregon and Brit
Iish horticulture.
