That makes a grand total of $ISO.91S,
a total to be proud of. 1t disposes. we
think. of the statement that building in
Augusta during 1909 was not unusually
active 1t was never more active and
from the present signs ii is very evil
lent that 1909 was but the be ginning
of an era of building activity such as
no other city in Maine has experienced
in many years
The demand for low priced dwelling
houses. for rent for stores and for
manufacturing property is greater
than ever Plenty on electric power at
the low rates. the advantage which
comes from being near tide water and
he prestige of Augusta as a place of
residence. all tend to draw business to
this city. A paper mill is in sight and
other big industries will doubtless be
induced to come 10 Augusta and swell
!he volume of business which now flows
in and ont of the city in connection
with the manufacturing plants already
located here.
someone made mistake when he
said that building was not unusually
active in Augusta last year. 1t was
the greatest year in its history. but
thcrc are greater years awaiting us.

Bangor il is true has no million

years building contracts, but it had
a record of nearly 100000 expended
in new buildings, including ll6
dwellings, az a cost of $3.50, 900, and
altogether it was the greatest
building year in the city's history.

Insuraeut Woman.


That woman Is not In rebellion
against nature, only against arbitrary
limitations, is the opinion of Edwin,
Bjorkman, writing In Golfers Weekly
on the meaning of woman's new actiy-
tiles. Mr.. Bjorkman argues that wo-
mans point of view has changed be-
cause social and economic conditions
have changed Woman Is adjusting
herself and to this end must expert.
ment and do the things long held to be
unconventional.
When the adjustment Of woman ar
rives after the unsettling process of
this change her position may not be
relatively altered. She may lead where
once she followed and command where
once she obeyed This will be where
man Is found wanting. Progress can
not wait upon mans fidelity nor ignore
woman's transcendent powers. Wo
man has always been a factor. She
swayed the Alexanders and Caesars as
well as the grand monarchs of later
days. The difference is that now she
works In the open and shuns not the
limelight. Her experiments, failures
and all are beacons for the sex.

Wild Zebras.

The zebra when wild is q ferocious
animal. and an unwary hunter is like
ly to suffer from its teeth and hoofs.
The author of "Kloof and Karroo"
says that Boer in Cape Colony had
once forced zebra to the brink of
precipice, when the desperate creature
turneds upon him. attacked him with
Its teeth and actually tore one of his
feet from the leg. Another author
writes of soldier who mounted a
half domesticated Zebra. The creature.
after making the most furious at
tempts to get rid of its rider. plunged
over a steep bank into the river and
threw the soldier as II emerged. While
the man lay half stunned upon the
ground the zebra quietly walked up to
him and bit or one of his ears.

The New Regime In the House


The net result of the upheaval in the
house Of representatives over the mat
ter of rules. is that the committee on
rules will consist Of ten members in
stead Of FIVE, as. heretofore. and they
VIII be appointed by ballot. Hereto
fore the speaker of the house has
named four members of the commit
tee, he himself being the fifth. The
change is radical and is the outcome
Of contentious which have been going
on In congress for a generation at
least.
Six OF the ten members of the COM
mittee on rules will be chosen from
the party having majority In the
house and four from the minority.
This will give the two leading parties
the, control of the rules. The impor
tance of the committee on rules In the
business Of the house is well nigh SUI
preme. 1t has been frankly confessed
again and again that cooperation on
the part Of this committee is essential
to the success Of any legislative pro
gram. 1t has often been charged that
the speaker of the house, who created
the committee which created the rules
through which he governed proceed
ings, such as the Introduction and con-
sideration of bills. ruled with the pow
er ofsa czar. This power, such as ii is.
VIII In future devolve upon the six
committeeman chosen from the ranks
Of the majority.

Census Condolences.

In order to quiet fears which have
been noted in large element of the
population that business condolences
shared with census takers may lead r j
unpleasant consequences OF some s,ort
the bureau has prepared and ser 1t out
an official statement relative to, the de-
cennial census, its origin. purpose and
uses. Public spirited citizens who
come in contact with large numbers OF
people are asked to explain the real
facts about the census and urge their
neighbors to give full replies to the
census takers.
All bureau officials. supervisors.
clerks, enumerators and Interpreters
are under oath not to disclose any in
formation shared with them for census
purposes. 1t is, of course, necessary to
get at the facts about each individual
farm, factory and mining or numbering
plant. But the farm will ultimately
appear only as one among the many
millions in the. country. or one of the
100000 or 100000 worth over and
under certain sums and producing over
and under certain number of live
stock, bushels, pounds or tons each
year. Particulars as to the details of
manufacturing, banking and buying
and selling are equally indefinite in the
final showing. but help to make the
grand summaries of the census ap
proximately correct and valuable In
just so much as they are complete and
truthful.
