MAINE PUBLICITY BUREAU.
W. Z. Laury TO Write "StuT" TO
Boost the State.

Hon. Thomas ]. Lyons, commits
sioner of labor and industrial statis-
tics. has announced that he has Sc
cured the services OF William f.
Lawry of Augusta and will take
steps at once TO comply with the in
structions of the last legislature, to
collect. arrange, illustrate, publish
and distribute in this and other states
authentic information in regard to
the resources and attractions OF
Maine, showing the advantages the
state has to offer manufacturers, cap
Italists. summer residents, tourists
farmers and those seeking employ
ment as farm laborers. To carry on
this work successfully would require
the expenditure of more money than
the bureau has available at the
present time, but a start will be made
that will, no doubt, justify continu-
ance of the work contemplated by the
legislature.
The State of Maine is rich in re-
sources, which have lain dormant be-
cause the people didn't know about
them" said Commissioner Lyons re-
Gently. Records of the department,
obtained from a recent investigation,
go to show that there is a decided
movement to take advantage of those
opportunities. especially in the indus
try of agriculture. Lack of properly
organized headquarters for the dis
semination of information has retard-
ed the movement to a great degree,
but in pursuance of the legislature S
directions, we now propose to adver-
tise the opportunities and advantages
the state has to offer.
THE activity displayed by the rail
roads, the boards of trade and the
chambers of commerce of the several
municipalities are bringing results
that are beneficial beyond expecta-
tions. | believe that we can make
the publicity work of the bureau
beneficial to the whole state, espe-
cially of those communities which
cannot afford to carry on campaigns
in their own behalf.
Our sister states long ago learned
the value of letting the people know
about their advantages, eXpendine
many thousands of dollars in all sorts
of advertising projects. This is es-
pecially true of those states which
are advancing fastest. Maine has de-
layed the Inauguration of the work
too long, but l have no doubt that
once begun, it will bring beneficial
and lasting results to the state"
Mr.. Lawry leaves the newspaper
field to take up publicity work. He
has seen service as a reporter on the
Lewiston News, the Kennebec Jour.
nal and the Portland Evening Express
and during the past year has beer

APPROPRIATION OF
6lST CONGRESS
Will Reach Sum Of
$1,O27,133,446
Two Parties View the Figures from
Different StandpOints.

Washington, June 27.-The appro-
priations made by the sessions of
Congress just closed amounted to
1,027, ,133,446, according to an official
announcement made by the House ap-
preparations committee today.
Separate statements were made by
Chairman Tawney, Republican, and
Representative Livingston of Georgia,
ranking Democratic member of the
committee, analyzing the figures from
the standpoints of the two parties.
Mr.. Tawney contended that a reduc-
ton of 2S,529.S21 over the last ses-
sion of the Goth Congress had been
achieved. He declared that the ad
Ininistration had rendered Congress
material aid in reducing expenses and
that a wholesome balance between
revenues and expenditures had been
restored, and that prospects indicated
that the government receipts for the
fiscal year 1911 would exceed the au-
thorized appropriations by $11937,S12.
The Democratic view was that, in
Guiding the authorized reclamation is
sue, river and harbor obligations,
public buildings authorized, light
houses, etc, the total direct and indi-
rect appropriations for the past ses-
sion reached s1,096, ,051, increasing
the previous regular sessions appro-
priations by SIS 5,207,909
The military expenses" declared
Mr.. Livingston, amount to consider
ably more than all the rest of the
Federal expenditures put together, ap-
proximating 20 per cent of all such
expenses.
Il do not believe there ever was a
military despotism on earth that took
as large a toll from the taxes eX-
torted from all the people for pur-
poses purely of war

MODERN FARMING SPECIAL.
Rich Fields of Upper Somerset Wis.,
tied.

The Modern Farming Special which
started from Orono June 8, has now
entered the last leg Of its tour Of
Maine over the lines Of the Maine
Central, Boston & Maine railroads
and Somerset and Washington Coun-
~ railways, and from Oakland takes
one long course to the almost caste
most section of the state Thursday
night, June %, Was passed In Bing-
ham in the heart of Somerset coUn-
Il. and. as the crow flies, not many
miles from the Canadian border Oh
the west; Friday night WAS spent
in Mattawamkeag in the eastern part
of Penobscot county, while Danforth
in Washington county was reach
ed Saturday and the great agricul-
tural sections of the state outside Of
Aroostook can be said 10 have been
most completely covered.
Practically two days were spent
in Somerset county and this section
of the state has proven a sort of rev.
elation to many of those on the spe-
cial who have visited ii for the first
time. Somerset while more or less
identified with numbering and kindred
interests, is none the less one of the
strong agricultural sections of the
State and by the more and more gen
eral adoption of modern methods is
becoming one of the prospectively
brich sections in the output of its
soil crops. The rich valley of the
kennebec which the Somerset railway
to Bingham at least. penetrates, is
rapidly coming to the front as a
great potato growing section. while
corn canning factories in several
places indicate that an active work
in cultivating the famous sweet corn
has been and is a big factor in the
results of this development of the
soil In parts of the county, too, or
charding is carried on extensively
and evidently with more or less de
gree of financial success.
The trip up the Somerset railway
TO Bingham is indeed an attractive
one. For much of the way the roat
follows along the banks of the river
and fine views are obtained of the
power sites that only in comparative
" recent years have been developed
to any extent Madison has grown
up like unto a magic city since the
construction of the big plant that is
now owned and operated by the
Great Northern Paper Co. The fine
power at Solon has been developed
and utilized in part for manufacture
ing purposes while Bingham has
grown industrially in the past few
years through the introduction o
manufacturing plants.
The towns along the line are evi
IDENTIFY prosperous and happy. Mod
ern convenences are to be noted il
all. Electric lights are common ne
cessities now and water service is
being introduced in many. Up from
Skowhegan an electric car service i!
maintained, but the rails of the roat
that run to Norridgewock as will b'
remembered, were taken up a few
years back and sold for old junk.
The section is rich in historic in
terest. 1t was through this regioI
that Benedict Arnold led his troops
early in the days of the Revolution
on the way to Quebec and met Will
so many hardships and final disaster
1t was at Norridgewock that a monu

keith's Theatre, Boston.

For the week beginning with Inde-
pendence day at keith's, typical pro-
gram has been arranged, one that is
bound to attract widespread atten-
ton. In the first place it will include
the Old Soldier Fiddlers, a remark
able company who will be seen in
Boston for the first time. In it are
four men, two who served in the
Southern armies and two in the army
of the North, all of whom are remark
able fiddlers. They play entirely by
ear, and the manner in which they
give the old songs and tunes invari-
ably arouses the greatest enthusiasm.
