A Boston paper prints the following
paragraph, which is remarkable in more
ways than one: Residents of Canaan,
Me-, have had much trouble this year
with hedgehogs. They have tried lining
the trunks of their fruit trees with zinc
from old washboards, sections OF old
stove pipe and tin, but the hedgehogs
have always removed the distractions.
AS a last resort one man has tackled sheets
of fly paper about the trunks of bis apple
trees. He hopes that 1t will stick to the
fur Of the hedgehogs and engross their
attention sufficiently to make them for

Maine Republican
Governor, Legislature and
Three Congressman.
rockingham, Democrat, Sheriff
Otherwise Oxford County is Repub-
can as Usual.

As we had hoped and the Democrats
had feared, Milne came back into the
Republican column at the election of
Sept 9th. The dissatisfaction with the
Plaisted administration was not a fanciful
thing, but something that manifested it,
self at the polls.
A brief summary of the result is:
William T. Hsines of Waterville. Re-
publican, is elected governor over Fred
erick w. Plaisted, Democrat, by s. plu-
rality of 1923 votes, as shown by unoffi
cial returns. T. F. Callahan of Lewiston,
Republican, is also elected state auditor
The vote, as unofficially reported, is:
Haines, 70,92S, as against Ga GA for Fer
nald in 1910; Plaisted 81, 905, as against
73,304 in 1910.
Three Republicans and one Democrat
are elected representatives to congress.
The three Republicans are Asher c.
Kinds in the First District, Forrest Good
win in the Third, and Frank E. Guernsey
in the Fourth. In the Second District
Daniel j. McGillicuddy, Democrat, is re-
elected by plurality of 1893 against
about 2T00 in 1910.
Both houses of the legislature will be
Republican, the senate having, according
to the latest Information, q Republicans
and 10 Democrats, and the house 10 Re
: publicsns and Y Democrats. This will
i've majority on joint ballot, and en-
sure the election of Edwin C. Burleigh as
United Ststes senator 10 succeed Oba-
diah Gardner.
In Oxford County the Republican can
didates for county offices, except She's
are elected, tho general plurality being
between $50 and 500 Thi.ls reduced 10
the case of the county commissioner vote
by a large following of Mr.. Melcher, the
Democratic candidate, in Rumford,
wb-.S ne lives, and the vicinity. For
p Sheriff, William D. rockingham of Paris,
the Democratic candidate, has a plural
ity of l4l over j, Melvin Bartlett OF
Stoneham, the Republican candidate.

Fewer Deaths in Coal Mines.

Washington, July 10.-The United
States Bureau of Mines has collected
and made ready for distribution fig
ures which show that the high tide
in the terrible death rate in Ameri-
can coal mines has been reached and
passed. The figures show that 2,511
men were killed in the mines last
year as against 1884 for 1910. This
shows a reduction in the number of
lives lost of 81 in one years time.
The death rate in 1910 was 3.91 men
in every 1000 employed. The rate
in 1911 was 3.74. Compared with
1907, the darkest year in the history
of American mining, when 3197 men
lost their lives, 1911 shows decrease
of $50 in the number of killed 1t
was following the record of this year
that congress authorized the govern
ment to begin Investigations looking
toward a reduction in the death rate
and this was supplemented in 1910 by
the creation of the Bureau of Mines.
