FAMILY OF THIEVES
Aged Partisan Mother and
Two Sons Go to Prison.
(American News Service)


Paris. Dec. 17.-When Blanche Leg
alky. a gray-haired woman about As
years of age, and her two sons, Almyre
and Alphonse, were given prison sem
fences the other day after being con-
victed of shop-lifting the prosecuting
attorney told an extraordinary story
of the proceeding of this light-fingered
family.
The mother wore a large and in
made that she could conceal in it an
infinite number of stolen articles.
These she obtained through her sons,
who were exceedingly skillful in pill
fering from shop show cases.
The three were watched in a we'll
known store. and it was seen that the
boys took a large number of small
objects. The part that the woman
played was not very apparent, but the
police felt justified in arresting her.
When she was searched, however,
nothing discriminating could be found
until one of the mattresses noticed
thecare with which the woman moved
her head. Immediately she insisted
on investigating her hair.
Among other things she discovered
a roll of costly lace. a ladys gold
watch and chain and 40 heavy gold
bracelets. The prosecution also stat
ed that the two younger prisoners
were expert pickpockets. and had
stolen several purses from the hands
of women who were shpppiup near tho
center of the city.

DIES ON
RESEARCH TRIP
(American News Service)

Vienna, Dec. 17-Professor Oskar
Mailer, Of the Academy Of Iglo. in
Hungary. has met with a terrible death
in the Tartara Mountains.
On October 23, he started to climb
the Baranggostor peak alone, despite
warnings that a guide was necessary.
He never returned, and though search
parties were sent out, no trace of him
was found. Only recently a party OF
climbers discovered his body terribly
emaciated with both legs broken, in a
shelter hut some distance from the
peak.
The professor had evidently lost his
way and broken his legs in a fall
among the rocks. Despite his terrible
injuries he must have dragged him.
self to the shelter hut and there been
starved to death.

In History's realm, reviewing the past

All ages of poets may vainly compete
With those of the Bible who Gods praises sing
And have for their leader the Psamist and

We see the fair lines and proportions most

Excelled by the Temple by Solomon planned.

Regard as authorities Blackstone and Coke,

But builds upon Sinai's tablets of stone.

Pacific Coast Timber.

WASHINGTON, d. c., January 9Th. San
Pedro, name almost unknown east Of
the Mississippi, is to-day one of the big
gest lumber receiving ports Of the coun-
try, according to the figures of her col
lector of customs. The gazetteers
of eight years ago assigned less than
four lines of description to San Pedro.
1t was described as 50 bay and inlet of
the Pacific ocean, in California, los
miles southeast of Santa Barbara, SO de-
grees, 48 minutes north" That was ALL
Today it is known as the ocean port for
the immense horticultural and CONNER
cial activity that centers about Los An
geles.
San Pedro's custom house figures show
receipts last year of over 500 million
board feet of lumber. This was largely
redwood, Douglas fir, and yellow pine,
brought in by coast vessels from the for
ests of the northwest. According to the
Department of Commerce and Labor,
New York's coastwise receipts of South
ern pine. for the year ended December
25th, were little under 400 million feet.
Chicago received by water, for the full
calendar 1909, not quite $40 million feet
of all kinds of lumber exclusive of logs;
North Tonawanda, N. Y, received over
ITO million; Ludington, Mich, nearly 80
million; Cleveland, about Y million, and
Detroit, a little over &c million. The ar
rivals of redwood, pine and fir at all the
ports of San Francisco bay totaled 900
million feet.
The lumber arrivals at San Pedro are
suggestive of the remarkably rapid de-
velopment not only Of southern Califor-
MIA but also of the inland Southwest
The fruit growing section of southern
California consumes much lumber, most
of which is cut a full thousand miles to
the north, but Washington, Idaho, and
Oregon lumber is also distributed by rail
from southern California to many inland
points. Despite the cost of the long ship
transit added to the rail freight charges,
the competition of lumber shippers who
use the all-rail routes from the north
west coast States, or from the east, can
be successfully met at several Of those
points by the ocean and-rail route ship
pers.
The lumber business of the matchless
forests of the Northwest has been fight
ing against great odds in the Mississippi
valley and eastern markets because of
the cost of transportation. ''In the Pa
cifc Coast States, which contain so large
part of the total stand of National
Forest timber" says the Forester of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture, in his
Annual Report for 1909, ''sales are made
only when fair price is offered and only
under restrictions which safeguard the
future welfare of the forest. Both these
conditions tend to restrict sales in a re-
gion where timber is at present so album
dant and so cheap. The opening of the
Panama Canal will of itself almost rev.
olutionize the situation. Cuttings which
can not now be made in the best way for
the welfare of the Forest, because only
the relatively high grades of timber can
be sold, will then be practicable under
much more favorable conditions. -

Flag Presentation at Fryeburg.

Friday was indeed day long to be
remembered by the pupils of the public
schools in Fryeburg Mrs. Wallace R.
Tarbox, Jr., vice president of the De-
partment of Maine, Ladies G. A. R.,
presented the schools with magnificent
flag 8, by 10, for their school house. There
are about 100 pupils in the building and
they had special exercises for the occa-
sion, patriotic songs, etc. The children
had invited their parents and friends and
seats had been arranged on the school
grounds. Mrs. Tarbox made a brief adj
dress, paying a glowing tribute to the
Department of Maine. She said: "Our
motto is the children of today are the
veterans of tomorrow, hence the great
necessity of planting early the seed of
patriotism. True patriotism is the rock
foundation upon which to build character.
It has inspired the noblest impulses. -

NAMES FUTURE GROWTH.
It Depends on the Progressive Spirit of Her
People.

It Depends on the Progressive Spirit Of Her
People.
AN estimate of the census figures
gives Maine a population of 727, 846, an
increase of 80, $50 over 1900. It is quite
safe to predict that the census of 1920
will show much larger increase. Maine
is beginning to grow. REP. Journal.
Names growth in the coming decade
will depend very largely on the attitude
Maine takes toward enterprises looking
toward her growth and DEVELOPMENT,
1t is quite possible for Maine to pursue
policy that would, not merely add SO. $50.
but three times that number to her popu-
lation. She does not lack the natural
resources as compared With other States
which have had great increase in popu-
lation, but up to within few years She
has been merely q source of supply in
capital and energy for other States to
draw their materials of growth from.
Other States of our own country have
Slapped Maine, and the superintendent
energy and fresh enthusiasm of newly
opened sections in the west and south.
have been strongly felt in keeping MANY
New England States, including our own,
at standstill. In addition to the drain
upon US by other States, Canada, into
which the northern part of Maine il
driven like wedge, has been fattening
on the products of Maine, and has been
enabled by wrong policy to profit as
our expense.
A beginning at checking this outflow
OF our productive wealth into foreign
channels has been made in the repeal of
the Pike act. 1t would be more effec-
tive check if preference. other thinos
being equal, of home institution as
against foreign one were exercised in
favor of the transportion system on
which our future development SO largely
depends. Putting aside minor differences,
grievances and causes of complaint and
friction, in Northern Maine the absolute
prerequisite of growth is a cooperation
with this home system in plans and pro-
jects of increased strength.
Everything that expands and strength
ems 1t, and gives it secure and perma-
nent foothold as an independent system,
as surely and in the same ratio is a guar
antee of progress and broader thrift for
this great northern region.
1t is not to be inferred that the prefer
ence suggested ought to be exercised
narrowly, clannishly or in a spirit of
hostility. It is simply that the ruling
principle of Northern Maine, as a good
rule for Northern Maine progress, is to
throw the weight of our influence and
our sentiment on the side of what belongs
to us, that has its roots in our own soil,
that is so related to US that when it pros
pers we prosper, and that when it broad
ems We broaden. -Presque Isle Star-Her-
