almost any time during the day it is a
matter of only few minutes as rule to
arrange for the conversation. And such
conversations are held by the thousand
every day between the divers members
of Congress and others. However,
Senator Hale never was much enamored
of the telephone and neither was Sena-
tor Frye, as is the case with a number of
the older Senators who prefer conversa-
ton face to face But the facilities save
a vast deal of time day in and day out.
Of recent days Senator Hale and Rep
resentative Burleigh have been laboring
together over the Census bill on which
both are conferees Both will feel re-
lieved when that Legislation is completed
so that the authorities can go ahead with
the selection of extra employees and with
other preparations for taking the Census
of the United States, beginning year
from this spring. They are leading men,
bers of the respective Census Commit
tees of the Senate and House. Decided
differences Of opinion frequently develop
regarding the methods of taking CEN
sus as important and comprehensive as
a decennial census. These differences
have to be adjusted in large part at the
Capitol and require time and patience.
The Census bill now going to the Presi-
dent for his signature has been under
consideration at intervals for more than
a year, beginning in the House Census
Committee at the last session.
Representative Burleigh is also aiding
this winter in the framing of small
omnibus public buildings bill which will
carry no appropriations. 1t will not be
acted upon by the House till late in the
session. The measure is for the purpose
of adjusting matters that have developed
in connection with public building opera
lions since the big omnibus bill was pass
ed year ago. Some communities want
changes in the provisions of the last
years law and when this can reasonably
be done, Congress is willing to grant the
requisite authority. But it involves con-
siderable careful investigation. Repre-
sentative Burleigh and other members of
his committee devote lot of time to
such cases.

TIE current issue of the Industrial
Journal brings encouraging reports as to
the business outlook in Maine from Gov
error Fernald, the president of the State
boara Of trade, the presidents of local
ooar s Of trade, and business men. Gov
ernor Fernald, writing from West Po-
land says: The outlook for business in
this section of the State is exceedingly
promising. The usual amount of lum-
bering is going on during the winter;
prices for this class of merchandise is
high and in demand; wages are exceed
ingly we'll maintained; farmers are re-
c2eivirg higher prices than usual for dairy
products; and the outlook for the canning
business was never better The acreage
secured by packers all over the State is
larger than usual, and think prices paid
are very satisfactory to the producers :"
The president of the Portland board of
trade says: ''Our mills at this end of the
State are now running as rule on full
time and our bank clearings and post
Office receipts, a sure index of business,
are showing Improvement over last year.
The return of normal conditions through
out the country means an increased tour

much to the State. | think on the whole
the situation may be summed up as one
Of great hopefulness and confidence. J"

and there is every prospect that they
will all run full time the coming year. "
Rockland anticipates dull winter in

sured. The advent of modern agricul-
tural machinery and implements, the in
