THE LAST VETERAN.

A Grand Army man in Chicago makes
the prediction that the last survivor of
the war between the States will die in
the year 1850. That should be IS years
after the close of hostilities. The state
ment is said to be based on estimates
made by men competent to calculate the
duration of human life, but that such
figures may go astray is shown by the
case of Hiram Cronk, who as mere boy
entered the army in the closing days of
the war of 1872 and lived ninety years
after the conclusion of peace in 1915,
diving in 1905 at the age of los. If some
youth who entered the forces Of the eos
lust before the surrender of Lee should
live as long after the end Of hostilities as
did Hiram Cronk after the termination
of the earlier war, this last man of the
Rebellion would not die until 1855, or five
years after his earthly career is ended by
the present day prophet. The case of
Hiram Cronk was exceptional, and
whether any of the soldiers of the Civil
War will be living in 1855 is merely a
matter of speculation. The Chicago ex-
pert, however, goes further. He figures
out that in 1910, there will be but % liv-
ing veterans and in 1880, ten years
earlier, the number will be only BAT. In
this case, there is evidence that tends to
show the estimate is too low. The war
ended in 1866, or IS years prior to the
date on which only BAT men are expected
to be alive. CORVALLIS surrendered in
in 1881 and in 1910 list of Revolutionary
soldiers living in Maine at that time was
printed. The figures are not at hand,
but the list showed that the number was
considerable. This was substantially 60
years after the close of the War of In
dependence or only five years less than
the time from the close OF the Civil War
until 1880. Taking into consideration

machinery and exchanging help with
their neighbors. L. R. c., Kennebec

Bring up the children to be good boys
and girls. Give them good education,
and they will without much doubt be-
come good citizens, and children of whom
the parents will be proud. John F.
Lamb, Androscoggin county.
We are having plenty of snow. Farm
ers are cutting firewood and lumber for
farm repairs. The potato market still
holds at a good price, sixty-fve cents
per bushel. Other farm produce brings
good prices. Store hogs and shotes and
young thin cattle are very low in price.
Many of the smaller potato growers will
increase their next years planted crop
from 80 to 200 per cent, but the large
potato farmers will not increase their
acreage. The Central Maine potato and
starch company has bought lot and
will erect large potato house in the
spring just above Dexter depot. Stock
feeds are dropping quite per cent
Apples are very scarce, good ones bring

greatest police court reporter who ever

Dana. Another complained that they had

the crucifxion was told in six hundred
words, said Dana"
The Machias Republican recently re-
published an article from the issue of
that paper for July 81, 1860, on ''The
Pioneers and Mill Business of Long
Ago." from which we quote the follow
ing paragraph:
In 1847 gang mill was built by Albert
Pilsbury and others on the north side of
the middle channel, or Rock Mill island.
The. channel to carry water to this mill,
the first gang saw mill built on the Ma
chias river, was made through ledge.
There were many predictions that the
enterprise would prove failure, and the
gang saw was looked upon as new
tangled notion. We believe that when
the water was low in the river it cut off
the supply to this mill SO that the chan
mel had to be deepened, but otherwise
the venture was a success. With the
single saws then used the logs were run
through four times to square them and
then the carriage had to be run through
for every board or plank. In squaring
the log a good deal of wood went into
slabs, which were then of no value. With
the gang saw-a number of saws set in
frame-the whole log was sliced up with
one trip of the carriage into planks or
boards, or both. Usually the heart OF
the log was a plank and the remainder
boards. These were run off to circular
saw on one side of the mill, which trim
med off the edges. In those days if you
wanted edgings for kindling you had only
to pay for the hauling, Is cents for a
load, usually drawn by oxen, and deliver
ed at your door. But the great bulk of
the edgings were thrown into the river,
with the saw dust, and became imbedded
in the flats and in the channel of the river
until they were a serious obstruction
to navigation, and had to be removed in
later years.

the small number of men engaged in the
revolutionary struggle compared with
those who fought in the war between tne
States, and that the figures relate only
to Maine, they would seem to indicate
that the number of living veterans OF the
latter struggle would be greater IN l9SO
than the Chicago man is inclined to think
will be the case. However, such specu-
lations are of only passing interest. The
prediction is likely to be forgotten be-
fore the first of the dates mentioned.
Certainly, the survivors OF the battle-
fields of the eos will then be few IN
in number even although there may be
more of them than the present prophet
imagines. Portland Advertiser.

physical training found in a modern
high school.

| to reach the $500 mark and will prob
| ably exceed that figure before the end
of the present school year. Many OF
the workmen at the mills have moved
their families to Gary during the sum
mer. and this Is expected TO make a
marked difference in the enrolment.
