The Governor of Greenland in recent
interview espresso the opinion, shared
by many, that neither Cook nor Peary
reached the North Pole. He met DIR.
Cook when he was on his last voyage of
discovery and the explorer appeared to
hlm as q man who was somewhat unbal-
anced AS regards Peary, the governor
had not met him, but he did not give any
credence to his story of reaching the
pole. Something more definite, he said,
would have to be shown him than the
mere statement of the man. 1t always
appeared strange to him, he said, that
Peary should take only negro and an
Eskimo to accompany him on the last
part of this most wonderful and thrilling
journey. Why he should, as reported,
turn Capt. Bartlett back when he was
within 100 miles Of his objective point
was always mystery to him.

Baldheaded Men
Getting Scarcer Every Year.

Ninety-nine times in one hundred, badness

persistent devils called dandruff germs are at
work. Destroy them at once, or sooner or
later they will cause your hair to fall out and
you will be compelled to take your place in the

c. Vey Holman of South Thomaston,
former head of the Maine geological
survey, and lecturer on mining law at
Boston university. believes that the
State of Maine has great undeveloped
mining wealth. The bill in this connec-
ton which Mr.. Holman proposes submit
ting to the consideration of the next
Maine legislature is, to say the least,
unique. Through its passage he would
give outsiders the right to take hold of
and develop mineral properties whose
owners are unwilling or unable to work
them. This would by no means be equiva-
lent to complete confiscation for the
property owners would receive per-
centage of the production or profits
while the risk and expense of the under
taking would fall on the adventurer II
such he might be termed. The idea
strikes us at first as bit startling,yet 1t
contains no new principle of mining law.
Possibly it might be beneficial to Maine.
Portland Express.
We we'll remember the inception and
decline of the mining craze in this State
in the late seventies and early eighties.
When the first symptoms appeared Will
liam H. Simpson, then the editor of The
Journal, took the ground that while the
precious metals were to be found in
Maine they We're not in sufficient quanti-
ties to be proftably mined and events
proved the correctness of his judgment.
The Bridgton, News and one other week
ly paper-We think it was the Maine
Farmer-took a like stand, but practi-
cally the whole State went wild over the
prospective wealth to be gained from
gold, silver and copper mines. Shafts
We're sunk at various points down the
Reach and about Bluehill and Sullivan,
and at the latter place weekly paper
was started as an organ of the mining
interests. Men left their regular en-
ploym ant to roam the fields with ham
mers and chisels prospecting for the
precious metals Numerous mining COM
panies were organized, and those who
got in ION the ground floor and sold
their stock to the eager investors profit
ed thereby, but the bubble soon burst,
the "mines" were abandoned, and the
stockholders were sadder and. it is to be
hoped, wiser men.
In this connection the Biddeford Jour
nal says: "Maine has a wealth of unde-
veloped natural resources, but it is not
in gold, silver or coal. 1t is in her agri-
cultural possibilities, in her magnificent
water powers. in her advantages as the
summer playground and recreation re-
sort of the nation, in her fish and game.
These are her natural resources, and it
is along these lines that development
should be encouraged and promoted.

The Shoe Situation.

Some improvement is noted in the demand
for shoes and more orders have been placed
this week than previously. Buyers are operat-
ing close to actual requirements, however, and
most of the contracts made have been for
prompt shipment and few for later than Octo-
Der 10Th. Leather buyers continue to operate
only for immediate needs, but the transactions
in the aggregate are fair and business on the
whole is slightly better than last month

The idea advanced by some that less
liquor would be bought under license
than under prohibition is shown by
census statistics to be utterly ground
less. The figures for all the States show
an expenditure for Intoxicating liquors
Of 1873 per person, mainly under local
option, while taking the statement of
the license advocates as to total sales in
Maine, it shows but 81. AZ per person IN

under license leave SO much less for buy
ing food, clothing and homes and cause
so much the more drunkenness, poverty

The anti prohibition newspapers in
ringing the changes on Mr.. Hyde's decla-
ration that prohibition is a failure have
ignored his suggestion that a change
from the present method of controlling
the liquor traffic would necessitate the
introduction of some system of police
protection in the rural districts, and, by
the same token, an increase Of police
protection in the cities Yes, and further
that it would fill the jails and poorhouses
and in many ways add to the expenses of
both cities and towns.
