SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.

One of the chief topics of discussion at
PASSPORT is the attitude of some sections
of the State in vigorously agitating an
anti-seining law to be brought before the
coming session of the Legislature to re-
strict the methods of taking sardine her
ring TO weirs and traps as the only legal
method. This is considered by many as
a decided step backward, as these weir
privileges are to a certain extent quaisi-
public, yet under. private ownership as
to price and disposition of their catch
Those opposed to a restrictive law are
of the opinion that any law restricting
the taking of herring to these weir privi-
leges amounts to the weirmen's and weir
owners monopoly of the entire field OF
raw material upon which the sardine in
dustry is dependent
Pressure Isle reports that the potato
situation remains about the same. but
il looks as il the farmers would begin
to haul in more with the beginning of
the New Year as many of them are
already beginning to fear that unless
they leave the country faster than they
have for the past few weeks. it may be
Impossible to market the entire crop.
Tie consensus Of opinion is that the
amount still in the hands of the farm
ers and buyers is very large and that
they should be moving marketward

When Higgins brought the bundle to
the police he gave his name as John Rea
and explained that two men had Handed
him the bundle with the threat that they

A JOINT NOTE
From Mediating Powers Advising Peru
to Arbitrate Boundary Dispute.

Lima, Peru, Dec. 30.-A joint note from
the mediating powers, the United States,
Brazil and Argentina, was presented to
the government today, advising Peru to
submit it's boundary dispute with Ecua-
dor to The Hague tribunal.
The feeling here is that Ecuador will
not accept the suggestion and that war
will result.
The newspapers urge the government
to prepare for hostilities.
The two countries were brought to
the verge of war last spring because
OF their inability to reach a settle
ment of the border question which
mad been submitted to King Alfonso
of Spain as arbitrator His Majesty
delayed an award. ihimating that the
parties themselves might directly ne
gotiate with better results. Meantime
hotl, countries had sent armies to the
frontier.
When fighting appeared imminent.
Washington took the initiative, and with
Brazil and Argentina offered friendly Of
fees to assure peace. This was condi-
tional upon the withdrawal of both arm
les, which was eventually accomplished.
The republics, however, remained at odds,
and unless the present proposal for ar
bitration is accepted it is believed that
the dispute will be settled on the battle
field
