Busts of those two formidable rivals

United States, Daniel Webster, and
Hon George Evans of Gardiner, Who
is believed by many to have been the
most distinguished son of Maine in

suitable location in the State House Ii
hrar&. 1t has long been a tradition
about the State House that these two
busts were in possession of the State,
but they have never been positively
identified until within few days ago,
the dentfeation having been made by
Assistant Librarian Livingstone.

of the current portraits of the great
Wing statesman and ii was only
through an article in McGlure's Maya =
zine for May, 1907, which gives a fac
simile of all the life portraits and
bgsts of Webster, that its identity
Wis maintained. The busts given in
the magazine article included one from
the original marble by Hiram Powers
III Vermont, made in 1896. when Mr..
Webster was 81 years of age. and
comparison of the photograph in the
magazine with the plaster bust in

that IL was beyond doubt a faithful
copy Of the Powers bust. This bust
is called by the critic Thorwaldson,
the best work Of it's kind executed in
modern times but Charles Henry
Hart. the author of the article IL
McClure's Magazine to which refer
ence has been made, crticises Powers
portrait busts as weak and lacking
character. and il was just this defect
that made the plaster east so hard u
identify. for il failed to set out the
strong lines of Websters features as
many of his recognized portraits DO.

Kennebec Ice had been shipped as
early as 1926 to Boston. the West In
dies and Southern ports but the ven-
lures had not proved profitable up TO
the time that Mr.. Hills letter was
written The letter apparently bore
fruit. for when, in the winters of l84S-
1s49, the ice crop south of Boston fall
ed fully 100, 900 tons of ice were housed
and shipped.
1t was not. however until 1860 that
ice cutting on the Kennebec could be
considered in the nature of a perma-
nent industry Great fortunes were
made by various individuals and firms
in the business during the 30 years
from 1860 to 1890. Then came the great
glut of 1890 following the harvesting
of more than 100000 tons in the State
OF Maine, and finally the control of the
ice fields of Maine by the American
ice Co, resulting in continually de-
creasing output and the present con-
dition of the industry on the Kennebec.
