EPHRlAM HOWE.
Ono of Calais Best Known Residents
Dies from Old AGE.

Calais, Me-, Aug. 15.-Ephraim Howe,
one of Calais best-known residents,
died. Wednesday, from old age. Mr.
Howe was born in Northport, in 1921,
and came to Calais with his parents
when he was 2 years old. Mr.. Howe
went to Bangor in 1892 where he was
employed as stevedore. He was
married in 1871, his wife being Il
resident of South Brewer. Mr.. Howe
moved his family back to Calais in
1861 and With the exception of his
army career he had resided here since.
Mr.. Howe and his son, Samuel Howe
of Calais, had the unique experience
of fighting side by side in the old 9th
Maine Regiment. A case where a
father and son fought side by side and
both lived AZ years after the close of
hositilities, is probably unique in
Maine. Mr.. Howe was 45 years old
when he shouldered his gun to go 10
the front. Fer a time he was i'm Co.
L, of which the late VIM. B.. Taylor
of Calais was captain.
At the time of his death, Mr.. Howe
had the honor of being the oldest
American citizen living in Calais. He
was a man of remarkable strength
and endurance. His life work was
river driving and steVedore work. He
retained his faculties right up to the
last and was great reader. He was
memser of Joel A. Haycock Post,
No. "a, and always turned out with his
younger comrades on Memorial day.
He could tell of the early days of Ca
lais, st. stephen, and the two Mill
towns He saw Calais change from
the little hamlet of 1923, IA years af-
ter it became town, to the twentieth
century city we know, today.
Two sons, Samuel of Calais. William
of Duluth, Wis, and his daughters,
Mrs. Emma Drake of Duluth. Wis,
and Mrs Maria Purington of Mime
apOliS Mimi, survive.

MORE FLOWERS NEEDED.
Is Opinion of Nine. osaki, Wife Of To-
kos Mayor.

WASHINGTON was a city after my own
heart, with its beautiful avenues, spa
cious parks, uniform buildings and its
more leisurely life. We longed to be
able to see it in the spring, when the
fresh budding green of the year would
fringe the street avenues. And here
let me say that / think If the American
people would cultivate more tinWers IN
their parks and gardens they would
add much, not only to their own pleas
ure, but to the artistic pieturesqueness
of their cities. So writes Mime, Osaki.

Check of $50 for AN
Fire Department
From Lumber Co.

Chief John a. Buckley of the Augusta
fire department was very aSreeably
surprised, Thursday by receiving a
check Of $50 from the Augusta Lumber
c., in recognition of the very effec-
tive work Of the department ON the
night of July q, when the mill of the
comrany vas burned.
We know that it was only by the
best directed efforts that the fire was
stopped in the middle of our lumber
yard and as a slight evidence of our
appreciation we enclose herewith our
check for $50, to add mite to the
firemen's Fund, states the letter
which accompanied the check
Chief buckley is exceedingly grateful
for the contribution, which will be
Gdded to the Firemen's Relief Associa-
ticn FUND, which has already received
good start by 4 number of contri-
buttons from publie-spirited citizens.
The Relief Association fund. in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the
constitution of the association. is used
for paying sickness and death benefits.

serving the inherent fuel vaiuess
with producer gas to conserve the
fuel energies of ignite and with cleo
tricity to transmit them, all American
territory carrying the deposits can be
reassured as to power purposes for an
indefinite period. Even now the pro-
Queer gas systems are SO advanced that
those districts can profitably utilize
their riches The producer gas system,
already in worldwide use. is destined to
Immensely greater growth as the cost
of coal and its transportation increases.
"On the other hand. it is altogether
doubtful whether the newly invented
liuuefied gas in cartridge containers will
ever prove of value except in some few
special instances. The weight of the
liquid gas. heat for heat, would equal. if
not surpass that of the coal from which
it is extracted; and heavy steel con-
tainer must be added to that drawback.
"Oil. as a substitute for coal becomes
a competitor with steam only to a limit
ed extent-where the grade of oil is so
low for refining purposes that its cost
compares favorably with that of coal.
The ships using it get their supplies
mostly from Texas and California. Its
output there is not refined to amy great
extent, and the crude oil is sold in COM
petition with coal for use under steam
ship boilers. 1t presents the advantage
that the weight carried for given ra-
dius is less than that of coal, thus al
lowing more space for cargo; and 1t
saves cost of handling and labor in the
regulation of the fires. "-Pittsburg Dis

Gardiner Man
Has a Runaway.

A horse driven by William $. Hitch
cock of Gardiner caused considera BILE
excitement in this city, Thursday af-
ternoon, by dashng madly from near
the Grove street junction down Grove
street to Rines hill, where he cleared
himself from the hayrack to which he
WAS hitched, and slowed down to a
walk soon after -he was free.
Mr.. Hitchcock, the driver of the run
away horse, was attempting to turn
out of the Way from a passing team
on State street, but in doing so he
got on the car track and an electric
car collided with the horse, knocking
it down, before the motorman could
stop the car. The unhurt but fright
ened horse Immediately jumped on to
his feet again, and started on a dead
run down Grove street in the diree-
ton of Water street.
The driver chung to the reins. how
ever, although the bride was broken
by the collision. and steered the horse
as much as possible among the teams
which were on Grove street, attempt
ing al the time to slow him down b.
talking to him, but he WAS unable to
do so. The horse would have undoubt-
edly kept on running and got down
into Water street where some seri-
Gus accident would have probably
happened, if the harness had not bro
ken before leaving Rines hill, allow
ing the animal to clear himself from
the hayrack.
The only damage done by the acct
dent was the breaking of a shaft on
the rack and few slight cuts on the
horses hind legs. caused by his heels
hitting against the wagon, when the
back straps broke. The driver was
neither hurt nor frightened in the
runaway and kept on his journey after
tieing up mis- broken shaft and doing
small amount of repairing to his
harness

''High Diver
From Portland

A young man about so years of age.
who comes from Portland, gives his
name as Doc" Award and claims TO
be the son of DIR. Mark Award of 100
Ocean avenue, Portland, created a
sensation about 8 p NJ, Thursday. by
attempting to dive from the top of
the Kennebec bridge. He had stripped
off his coat and was climbing up into
the framework of the bridge with the
agility of a monkey, when he was
seized and pulled down by some of his
companions, who at first thought that
he was joking about the high dive he
said he was going to make.
Award, who has been employed in a
local restaurant for the past three
weeks, has frequently boasted of his
great ability as swimmer and high
diver, and his statement that he could
dive from the top of the Kennebee
bridge resulted in purse being made
up on the spot by half dozen of his
companions TO be his if he should sue
cessfully perform the feat
But by the time Award had got half
way up the upper framework cooler
heads in the party began to realize
that such a dive in the dark and into
the shallow water would mean moth
ing less than suicide, and pulled the
would-be high diver back to solid
ground and incidentally communicated
with the police in order that the Port
land man might be restrained from
doing any more foolhardy stunts for
the night at least. Award was warned
OF the streets by the officers and went
to his room.
