wide, and in the southern part two and
a half miles 1t was formerly covered
by very dense growth of ash and pine
trees. Agriculture has been leading
industry of the town.
The early church history of this
place is of more than usual interest.
The second oldest Catholic church in
Maine, st. Denis, was erected here; the
the first church being built of wood in
1922, and the present brick building in
1882, and finally completed and dedicat-

ton monument will not be used in max
ing wireless experiments by the navy.
The question of utilizing this very ia
vorable location of government wire
less messages was revived recently by
Lieut. Comdr. Cleveland Davis, of the
navy, the acting chief of the naval bu-
reau of equipment. AT his instance,
the Secretary of the Navy submitted it
to the President and his cabinet.
1t was represented that the Navy De-
partment contemplated the establish
ment of a wireless station in this city
with vertical support or tower from
500 to 600 feet in height. and, before de-
termining on the location of the station
it was desired to make temporary use
of the Washington monument as sup
mort for the antennae in the conduct of
experiments.
The President and his cabinnt had
previously ruled against the use of the
marble shaft as wireless station, and,
after full consideration of the matter,
it was again decided not to allow its
use even for experimental purposes.

a trout but it's notched tail and pecu-

lake trout. Mr.. Adams states that the
fish was a very lively little one in the
water and although weighing but four
ounces struck as heavy and fought as
hard as a 2-pound trout. So far as he
knows no other similar fish have been
found in the lake.
