Perfect weather for the greater por
ton of the day, the biggest parade ever
held in this city and possibly in Maine,
fine speeches by capable orators, and q
fine program in the afternoon at the
Driving park. all combined to make the
celebration of Labor day in this city
Monday most memorable occasion.
The greatest fear of those in charge of
the celebration was concerning the
weather, but old Jupiter Pluvius, was
once barber himself and consequently
he smiled on~&he hosts of labor and
bade them enjoy the day, a bidding
which they were more than pleased to
comply with

and go-carts, each brought it's quota of
humanity to witness the parade Of la
Dor men and to enjoy the hospitality of
the people of Augusta. And the people
Of Augusta gave their visitors a cordial
welcome
Owing to the delay Of the contingent
from Livermorc Falls. the parade was
rather late in starting but the crowd
was too good natured to mind little
thing like that. Under the efficient di-
rss, ac ,ol T.,
the different Unions modified near the
Lithgow library on state street. The
parade got in motion at 1915 o'clock.

government extend over a period of
ten years without interest there is no
object in meeting the same in advance
and most of the farmers therefore are
devoting their revenue to improving
their homes and in purchasing live
stock and implements, One of the
most interesting features of the up
building of these new communities Is
the large number of settlers who have
come from the cities and towns. Their
success is all the more notable because
they had little or no previous expert
ence In farming, especially farming by
irrigation. Under these circumstances
the call of the open country lis likely
to appeal to others who have grown
tired of the stress and fume of city
life and the never ending struggle to
make income and outgo balance
The west Is filing up so rapidly and
the really choice locations are so few
that 1t is only question Of time now
when the increase of land values there
will make 1t as difficult for the poor
man to get foothold as 1t Is today in
the east. Letters are pouring into the
statistic'an of the reclamation service
at Washington, ID. c.. for information
about the lands which are ready for
settlers OH the several reclamation
projects. Approximately 500 farms are
now open to entry under the homestead
act, with water ready for irrigating in
Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota. and
Oregon. Are you looking FOR a home

extent, sun baked, parched and DESC

tales of suffering and death, of UNI
friendly savages, and deadly reptiles,
for years 1t was passed over by con-
gress as worthless. The marvellous
transformation which has been
wrought in two decades in this land of
silence and sunshine furnishes one of
the most interesting and inspiring
pages in the annals of our republics
development. The great American des-
ert is vanishing from the map. Its
boundaries have shrunken and 1t no
longer presents formidable barrier to
the growth and progress of the far
west. Twelve million acres OF this
rainless country have been subdued By
means OF agriculture and irrigation and
are producing bountiful and assured
harvests every year
A quarter of a million families are
residing on farms and as many more
have found homes and occupations in
the cities, towns and villages which
have sprung UP in the midst of the
agricultural areas. Great dams have
been constructed to inpound the foods
and through 10000 miles of canals and
bitches the life-eiving water has been
turned upon the dusty desert Tire
streams have been harnessed for pow
er and an era of manufacturing Is
dawning in which all of the raw prod
ucts OF the farm, the forests and the
mines will be prepared for the mar
kets OF the world. The comforts and
luxuries heretofore unknown in agri-
cultural regions already are obtainable
In many of the western valleys The
farmer lights and heats his home with
electricity and his heavy work is done
cheaply by the same potent force.
Trolley lines bring the farm and town
close together In majority of the
irrigated districts the farms are small

would be impossible to hold negroes on

At that time she met Bratten and her

eventually yielded. The party were
