MR. CARMICHAEL
 IS N0T IN HURRY Will Not Discu S Intentions on Prohibition Legislation BUT PROBABLY IN LINE Is on the Ground Early and Talks to Members as They Come In and
 Get Ready for Session
 Which Opens Today.
BUT PROBABLY IN LINE

Montgomery, July 26.-(Specia1.)- Speaker A. H. Carmichael Is not going in a hurry with regard to the present session of the legislature, holding that 1t will take several days to get mat ters shaped up so thAt it will be pos- sible to tell what will be done. He Is not talking much about what he ex- poets to do, though he will no doubt be in line for constitutional prohibi tion when the fight comes along. He believes that this Is one of the ways by which the prohibition laws can be kept going and made effective.
 MT. Carmichael came down a day ahead of the session to get in touch with the situation, and talked to a number of members as they came In. He and Clerk c. B. Brown went over the ground as concerns the mach inery of the session and made arrangements to get the most efficient service of all lines of effort. He has not made up his mind on how he will fight and what he will do, though it is well known that his opinions are to the ef- feet that prohibition is the best thing that could happen to the peoS S'e, also being of the belief that 1t can be en- forced.
 Insurance Laws.
 Insurance Commissioner Frank N. Julian is getting his insurance blns in shape to present to the legislature and will find little opposition to them. Former Commissioner D. R. McDavid, who is here for a few days. says that all of them are good and ought to be passed He is congratulating MT. Julian upon the prospect of getting all of them through, a thing that was not possible some time ago. Mr. Julian regards his anti-rebate bill and the bili for fire marshals as of great value and necessary in this state.
 Forestry Bills Safe.
 John H. Wallace, Jr., state game and fish commissioner, is greatly pleased with the outlook for the adoption of forestry laws at the present session of the legislature. The call of tn session carries this feature and he finds that most of the members are for It.

four years after the Baltimore & Ohio
gave up horsepower for steam.
The first railroad to be operated by
steam in this country was the South
Carolina, some time between 1S2S-'30.
but trials with an experimental loco
motive had been made before that
time by the Baltimore & Ohio, who
were reluctant, however. to relinquish
the slow but sure horse power until
the reliability of the steam locomotive
had been proven. When Names first
road was laid down in 1886, the pres
ent town of Veazie was the seventh
ward of Bangor, and Gen. Samuel Yea
zie was conspicuous as a lumber op-
orator and property owner in that part
OF the city. He owned largely in the
railroad. and that's why the stretch
of track from Bangor to Oldtown was
called Veazie's.
Freight on the Machiasport & Whit
NEVILLE road was first pulled by an
English built locomotive sent to Maine
by the old Boston locomotive builders,
Hinkley & Drury. 1t was to keep lum-
Der on the move until the old Tiger.
one of the two engines recently sent
from Washington county to Portland
was being built. The name of the Eng
lish engine. the first to make steam
noises along the way, was the Phenix
The Tiger was completed and sent by
schooner to Machiasport in 1912. The
following year marked the arrival of
the Lion from the same firm, and the
Phenix having done duty while the
American engines were being made,
was returned to Boston.
