Another Railroad to Belfast.

The Knox County Central R. r. Co. has pc.
titioned for a charter, which was presented to.
the committee on railroads last Tuesday by
the people behind this proposition are the
same as those who recently incorl Grated the
Rockland Marble and Lime Co. He said that
they had secured valuable marble, lime and
granite quarries in Hope and Lincolnville, that
the road would pass through Friendship, Wal
doboro, Union, Hope, Lincolnville, Searsmont,
Belmont to Belfast. He said that the whole 33
miles was rich in farms, lumber and mineral
deposits and that the road would be operated
by electricity, which would be developed on
some of the water powers, and that number of
the land owners had agreed to deed their part
of the right of way free of charge.

Decision from the Law Court.

The following rescript in Waldo county
case has been received from the Law Court:
Inhabitants of Monroe VS.. William A. Con-
don.
Rescript per curiam. The plaintiff, an in
habitant of Dixmont, admits that the domestic
animals which he owned and for which he was
taxed in Monroe were in that town on the first
day of April. They were therefore taxable in
that town unless it be shown they were there
for some temporary purpose, r. S. ch. 9, sec. l3,
par. 4. This the evidence fails to show.
The defendant further invokes that part of
R. S. Oh. 9, Sec. 13, par. A, providing that the
dwelling house is in one town and the barn or
outbuildings or any part of them is in another,
such animals kept for the use of said farm shall
be taxed in the town where the house is" The
evidence, however, fails to show case within
that statute.

"Joe" Williamson a Prophet.

Governor Plaisted, who came through un-
scathed in many eventful battles with his Re-
publican opponents in Augusta, will not have
the task of another such fracas this spring.
We were in Augusta on election day last
March. After the battle the people gathered
on newspaper row" to get the returns. A
great Democratic victory was early apparent;
then the crowd at the Age office cut loose.
"Joe" Williamson arrived on the scene. The
crowd hustled him into the Age office and fair
ly "hysted' him onto the counter. He was
putting somewhat but presently he gathered
himself and uttered very nice impromptu
speech, ending with ''three cheers for the next
Governor of Maine" At that time he hadn't
been mentioned seriously, but "Joe's" words
came true.-Hallowell Register.

Reciprocity Turned Down.

The committee on federal relations of the
Maine Legislature Tuesday afternoon, by
vote of six to three. turned down the Canadian
reciprocity resolutions introduced at the pres
ent session of the Legislature by Representa-
tive Hogan of Portland. 1t is understood that
the minority members of the committee will
present report which will be technically,
ought to pass in new draft, but which new
draft will not differ materially from the
resolve. The action of the committee will
bring the resolve into the House with a divid-
ed report It is generally believed at the
State House that the majority report, ought
not to pass, will be accepted.

OBITUARY.

Joseph G. Cookson, well known citizen Of
Winterport and veteran of the Civil War,
passed away at the home of his son William
ness of four weeks resulting from cold, at
tended by organic heart trouble. Mr.. Cookson
was born in the town of Unity about 10 years
ago. and was the son of the late Samuel and
Lois (Norris) Cookson. He was the last surviv-
or but one of family Of six. A brother, Frank.
lives in Burnham. In 1861 he married Miss
Elizabeth Quigley and by this union there were
six children: Samuel the oldest, was drowned
at the age of three years. and second son,
Samuel died a few years ago. Those who sur
vive their father are Lillian, wife of Manley
McAuliffe, John and William of Winterport
and Charles of Bangor. In 1861 Mr.. Cookson
enlisted and served three years in the 10Th
Maine Regiment. He took an active part in
the battle Of Gettysburg, in which engagement
he sustained the loss of two fingers. Several
years after the death of the mother of his
children Mr.. Cookson took for his second wife
Miss Cassie Porter of Winterport, who died
seven years later. He then went to live with
his son William, with whom he spent his last
days and from whom he received the tenderest
care. Mr.. Cookson had been poorly for several
months, but was confined to his bed only four
weeks, during which time his daughter law,
Grace (Field) hardly left his bedside, anticipat-
ing his every need and striving to alleviate his
sufferings. Indeed, she filled the Office of an
own daughter and was greatly beloved by him,
as also was his little granddaughter, Rita. The
funeral service took place at the residence
Sunday morning February 26th at 10 a. m.,
understhe G. A. R.. who attended in body.
The arrangements were by D. M. Spencer and
Rev. A. ]. Lockhart of the Methodist church
oficiated. The services were very largely at
tended, for Mr.. Cookson was well and favor
ably known, having been resident of Winter
port since his ninth year. The flowers were
very beautiful. The interment was in the
village cemetery. Thus Winterport loses
another of its best citizens, one who was re-
spected by all who knew him; kind husband,
an indulgent and affectionate father, gener-
Gus neighbor and faithful friend.
Another veteran mustered out,
No more to hear the trumpet call;
Gone to join the innumerable throng
Gone to meet his loved ones all.

A Belfast Party in the Land Of the Aztecs

A Belfast Party in the Land Of the Aztecs
The Chase -Dinsmore party have evidently
been epioyinp themselves in Mexico. Writing
from the Citv of Mexico, which was founded
according to Aztec tradition about the year
1925, and which at the time of the Spanish
conquest was "the largest and most civilized
CITY in America" Mr.. R. P. Chase says in
home letter:
ave have visited the following cities in
Mexico: Monterey, Saltillo, Queretaro, San
Luis Potosi and arrived in Mexico City this
morning, February 15th), and it is a dream
Pen, ink and paper cannot convey any idea of
it, personal visit is the only way in which
any conception can be obtained. The new
national theatre now under construction will
be, when completed, the finest place of amuse
ment in the Western Hemisphere. In coming
from Laredo, the border city in the u s., it
seems like the Holy Land. Prehistoric. anti
quated; 400 years behind modern civilization,
it was an eye-opener, assure you. But Mexi-
ments and ideas We shall stay in the republic
about three weeks before proceeding to Cali
fornia."
The party were registered at the Guardiola
Hotel, in the heart of the city. Mr.. Chase
sent home copy Of The Mexican Herald, an
American daily newspaper, but probably did
not know that the editor, Mr.. F. R. Guernsey
is a Maine man, who for many years was the
correspondent of the Boston Herald in the City
of Mexico, having previously been member
of its staff in Boston. The Mexican Herald is
in it's a1st year and has been successful from
