The Aroostook Republican of Caribou,
while not wishing to slight other indus
tries of Aroostook county, says that $50
long as the almost fabulous returns from
potato growing exist just so long will
ahis particular industry remain its chief
occupation and reliance. In this direc-
ton it claims that Aroostook farmers
lead and "are always the first to adopt
every improved method which tends in
any way to lessen labor, and to accom-
plish more in a given time - That the
farmers of other sections are catching
on the crop returns of last season tes-
tify, and the present season promises to
show even better results. As to the fu-
ture the Republican says:

The Maine Democrat says: "The great
reason for Republican success in both the
State and nation is not that the people
are satisfied with that party's action but
because they do not credit the Demo
cratic party with sufficient sincerity and
ability TO improve existing conditions. "
Well that is a pretty good reason, and
it is we'll founded.

Speaking the other day of the growing
interest in and increasing profits of farm

much Of the credit for the advanced
methods in agriculture which have
brought about these results is due to the
aid and teachings of the University of

its efforts IN this direction, and whether
it be poultry raising, egg producing, Or
charding, potato raising or any of the
varied crops of Maine the latest informa-
ton from experts is to be had for the
asking from the Maine Experiment Sta
ton.

A press despatch says that president

of which has just been completed, prom
ises TO be distinguished with Mark Twain
as pilot of the vessel carrying the Presi-
dent This is an absurd proposition.
Plotting on the Mississippi and on the
Atlantic coast, or any other civilized
coast, are quite different. On the sea
coast The rocks, reefs and shoals are
charted and are fixed facts, and there
are lighthouses, bell buoys and spar

sissippi river is constantly changing its
course and channel; washing away sand
bars in some places and building them in
other places. To be a pilot on the big

changes, which sometimes include a
''cut-off' and an entirely new channel
If Mark Twain goes on the boat as pilot
it will be in a purely honorary capacity

Hearing Land Cases

L. S. Commissioner S. W. Rogers on
Monday began the hearing OF the cases
instituted by the National Forest officer
against homesteaders in the LcClerc
Creek basin, on the west side of the
Pend Oreile river in Townships 36 and
81, Range As. Most of these homestead
ers had made final proof on their claims
but during the past few months adverse
reports against the granting of patents
have been filed by the Forest Service
after investigations by officers of the SER
vice.
The adverse reports are based on the
grounds of insufficient residence, I'M
provements or cultivation. The lands
included in these homesteads are said
to carry some of the best timber in this
section and are very valuable. The dis
trict in which they are located was
thrown into the Priest River National
Forest by President Roosevelt. Feb. 2,
