THE BURBERRY CROP.

A certain very energetic and reliable resi-.
dent of Orland, Maine, who bears the name of
Perkins. and who is chief salesman for Ham
cock county in Bangor, claims the blueberry
fruit is badly shrinking under the fierce July
suns, and that to get any harvest worth the
gathering, rain must come soon, or else all the
blueberries harvested this season will be dried
fruit, which, while often excellent for putting
inside of BURBERRY buildings and cakes, are
not profitable when sold by the quart or the
oushel. Not yet are the berries entirely dry,
so they will keep all winter without shrivel-
ling. Rather. the individual berry resembles
the face of little old man, who grew slowly
until he was about five feet tall, and then stop
ped, and began to pucker and wrinkle His
physiognomy and neck are just a mass of
wrinkles and convolutions, so one wonders
how he ever manages to shave at all. He is
far too small for a man, but too stable for a
mouse. Such is the present Perkins outlook
for Hancock county blueberries
No reference is here made to the fruit of
Silsby's plains, nor yet to the much larger out
put of Washington county, where the pros
poets for the canneries are far more hopeful
This Orland salesman claims that he never
puts up or sells any coarse and dark-colored
huckleberrles with his goods. He claims one
can tell the two species apart even by shak-
ing the containing boxes. For the huckleber-
ries rattle and make 2 sound like agitated dice,
when one is shaking for the drinks, while the
Aedi piueoeIrleS are softer anu more tender In
the way they should be handled
Hucklebe.ries are dark-skinned and filed
with disgusting seeds, and were intended by
their Creator for bears to eat and grow fatter
from the eating. Blueberries, in Hancock
county, were originally designed for human
consumption, and for Bangor consumption in
particular. Of the Maine blueberry crop you
should always eat ali you can, and then you
may can whatever may be left over Unless
spoiled in the canning, trainload of Maine
bueberries should last an ave age Maine
family for nearly all winter Hence every
extra dry day in Maine tends to increase the
net cost of human living.-Bsngor News.

per Congressman McGillicuddy and reti-
nue. arrived in an automobile and after
supper left for South Bristol, where a
Democratic rally was held that evening.
1t was not attended by any of the party
at the hotel.
At 2 p. m. Sunday five of the party
who felt compelled to return home took
the steamer at Christmas Cove and four
of them planned to stop over night at
Boothbay Harbor and take another
steamer there at Z o'clock the next
morning, which would arrive in Bath
in time to take train that would land
them that night at their homes in Bel
fast and Pittsfeld. But while at the
wharf at Boothbay it began to rain and
the Belfast contingent decided to con-
tinue on to Bath. At every landing
people crowded on board until it was
standing room only, and when Bath was
reached, about 6 p. M, the crowd had to
face a pouring rain. The Belfasters
found quarters in the King Tavern,
formerly the Shannon House. This is a
building of historic interest as it was the
residence Of William King, the first
Governor of Maine, who is often spoken
of as 'the first and best of our
Governors" He was born in Scar
borough in the year 1853, and was en-
gagged in numbering and ship build
ing in Bath when elected Governor
in 1920. He resigned before COM
pleting his term to accept another
position and was succeeded by Will
liam D. Williamson of Bangor. The

Washington Whisperines.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 2, 1912
The Ninth Annual Convention of the Ma
tional Rivers and Harbors Congress,
which will be held in Washington, Dec.
4th, 9Th and 9Th, already gives promise
OF bringing together larger number of
representative men than any previous
convention in the organization history.
''There is more for Us to get together
about" was the laconic way in which
Senator-elect Joseph Ransdell, Presi-
dent of the Congress-, characterized the
Forthcoming meeting. "There is much
yet to be done before the dream of the
National Rivers and Harbors Congress
is realized" said Congressman Ransdell
on leaving for his home at Lake Provi-
dence, Louisiana. And we cannot af-
ford to rest from our labors yet awhile.
A comprehensive policy of waterway de-
velopment must be written into the laws
of the nation and yearly supply bill for
meritorious projects must follow, to the
end that we may live to see number of
the great projects completed. -
Before leaving Washington for the
summer capital at Beverly, Mass,
President Taft stated to President Rams
dell that he would be pleased to address
the Congress during it's session in this
city, and it is also expected that Gov.
Woodrow Wilson will also be present.
Washington, noted for its large varie-
ty Of trees, contains one that is unknown
to many old residents. There is Cali
fornia redwood, a sequoia sempervirens
or part of one-near the Department
of Agriculture in the Mall. This huge
tree, twenty feet or more in diameter,
was cut into sections and shipped here
several years ago to be set up. Former
ly, it is said, it was part of an exhibit at
the Chicago Worlds Fair. The walls of
the tree are from one to two feet thick.
The hollow interior was once habitable
room, spiral staircase permitting one
to ascend to the top of the stump and
survey he4andscape. The inside of the
big tree was floored. But the flooring is
now rotted, the spiral staircase rusted,
and the door to the tree is locked. Vines
have grown over part of the shaggy
bark, and were it not for the conical
roof the immense stump would appear
most realistic.
Another illustration of the value Of
advertising is vouched for by the Com
missioners of Pensions. A month or two
ago it was proposed to give him some
three hundred extra clerks to clear away
the tremendous mass of pension applica-
lions made under the new pension law.
This was printed as news, and later stor-
les were sent out because delay in pen
sion appropriations still further compli-
Gated the situation. Each news dispatch
brought additional applications. "And
now," says the Commissioner, Il have
more than four thousand applications
from every section of the United States
for about two hundred jobs at 1900
per annum."
The session of Congress just closed
has been the ''talkiest" in the histo ry of
the government. The completed Con-
gressional Record of the season will
contain approximately $4,000 pages. 1t
is the longest Record of them all. Its
nearest competitor was that of the first
session Of the Fifteenth Congress, whose

changes, and additions, but the parlor
retains the wainscotting, the heavy cor
nice. the finish over the door, the recess
ed windows with their inside wooden
shutters and window seats; and in the
hall is the stairway of colonial days. In
the Office and reading room the old-time
finish is seen, but overhead is modern
steel ceiling. We have savory recol-
lections of the King Tavern, and doubt
if Governor King ever partook of bet
ter chicken pie than the one we had for
supper.
Monday-Labor Day-the business
places were. closed, and in the morning
we took stroll about the city, viewing
the attractive public library from the
outside and seeing many of the handsome
private residences and their spacious
grounds. At 1920 a. m. we took train
for Brunswick to visit Bowdoin College
for the first time, and were greatly i'm
pressed by its many fine buildings. In
the art building among the many objects
of interest, in glass case, is perfect
reproduction in alabaster of the Tai
Mahal, tomb in India that is considered
the most beautiful in the world today,
and of which fine description, with an
accompanying illustration, was given in
The Journal of Nov. %, 1911. 1t was
written by one of Isles5oro's summer
visitors and The Journal was privileged to
publish it through the courtesy of Miss
Dora Newell, for whom it was written
We cannot better close these random
notes of the Maine Press Association ex-
cursion of 1912 than by quoting the fol-
lowing lines:
BowDoIN CHAPEL.
In Memory Of Alpheus Spring Packard.
Here once again within these Chapel walls
l stand alone, where once young comrades
met
While recollectious throng. Who could for
get
Those joyous days, which this loved scene re-
calls
How, as of yore, the softened sunlight falls
On pictured wall and graceful statuette,
On organ-loft-I hear the music yet
The resurrected past my soul enthralls
o then how great privilege was mine,
Each morn to that silvery-haloed face.
That form beloved, to hear the prayer divine
Which here assembled to the throne of grace.
His memory. close as climbing ivies Irvine
Will ever cling about this holy place.
-Alven bennett Holmes, in "Bowdoin Verse;"

Finding this means of suicide too slow,
he began to cut himself with the hatch

In his efforts TO kill himself he turned
over a gasoline stove and the whole
building was soon in blaze AS the

NOT To ABANDON
.|NTERURbAN IDEA
Promoters Only Disappointed
by States Refusal to Permit
Full Stock Bonus.

Notwithstanding the refusal of the
Georgia railroad commission to author
ize an immediate issue of $3,600,00O
bonds and So 500 900 capital stock bonus
by the Atlanta and Macon Railway
Company Gnterurban), it is by no
means certain that the project will be
dropped
The commission, after a long and ex
haustive hearing, granted the road the
right to issue Immediately $500, 900 in
bonds, but cut its proposed stock issue
in half, reducing it from $4,000. 900 to
$1,000. 900
The commission. while admitting the
great merit in the proposition itself,
went on record as saying that it could
not see its way clear to authorize the
full stock issue prayed for.
The promoters of the railway are dis
appointed, of course. that their petit
ton was not granted as filed, but in
asmuch as they already have spent
more than $4,000 on the project, it
is being assumed generally that the
abandonment of the scheme still is far
from certain.
The promoters say they had under
taken to finance the road upon a plan
frequently adopted in railroad con-
struction observation-disclosures for actual
construction and an equal amount of
stock a a bonus to bondsmen.
The railroad Commission failed to see
the justice of more than 80 per cent of
the stock bonus petitioned for.
Since the railroad commissions rul-
ing many protests have come from
those along the proposed line that the
undertaking be not abandoned, and
while the promoters of the road are by
no means openly reassuring in their
talk concerning the outlook, it has no.
where been stated authoritatively that
the project will be abandoned
