seven miles of the railroad were built
with that money, the balance going TO
the politicians. Ten years later the
government. finding that the railway
did not pay. converted a part OF the
national debt into securities OF the
Salvador Railway Company. agreeing
600 a year. This road belongs to the
British. and 1t has been extended TO
Salvador City and Santa Ana. The
Salvador republic has set aside certain
debt. and among these is a tax or
10 cents on every pound of imports
brought into the country. and an en-
port duty Of 40 cents on each hundred
pounds of coffee.
The policy of the United States as 70

marines to the various countries as we
have had to Honduras and of late to
Nicaragua.
Since 1907 every time there has been
trouble in Central America the United
States has been asked to assist, and Ger
many has shown that she expected us
to aid her in her claims upon Guatemala.
while Italy has done the same as re-
cards Salvador. The British consider the
Monroe doctrine a claim which involves
the protection of their interests In the
various countries, and such claims will
increase with the increased trade and
investment which will surely follow the
completion of the Panama canal In
deed, IL looks as though the United states
will have to be- more or less responsible
for Central America.

LIBRARY FOR ANOTHER
SOMERSET TOWN
Vt. Adams Plans TO Build This Sum-
mer. Structure to be Unique One

st. Adams is to have new library
during the coming summer and the
building will be a decided ornament
one which will harmonic and supple
ment the splendid new town hall, pre-
scented by the Hon. D. d. Stewart.
The library building is to be an es-
pecially attractive structure, con-
structed of granite blocks, each one of
which will have face of one foot by
two. The blocks are to be inscribed
with the names of residents, and form
err residents, with the dates of their
births and. when necessary their
deaths.
An original idea has been adopted,
that of having the blocks paid for by
subscription Each one will cost
about $40 and as much more as the
subscriber cares to pay. In case more
money is subscribed than the building
costs, the remaining sum will be used
for the interior finish or spent on the
acquisition of books. The st. Adams
Memorial Library, is the name to be
given the new institution. The build
Ing will be sc feet long and "a feet
wide and will be of one story with a
basement. 1t is to be erected in the
center of the village on lot next the
post office, which has been presented
by the NJ. E. Bigelow estate.
The committee in charge of the
building Is made up of w. II. Watson
chairman, Mrs. Louise Emery, secre-
tary, and A. p Bigelow, treasurer.
The idea first originated with Mr.
Watson and the library will be the
first of its kind in Maine, if not in
New England. At the rate subscrip-
tons are coming in, there will be no
lack of funds. Some of the former
residents of the town, who are still
interested in its future, have subscrib-
ed as much as $500 each. The COM
mittee plans on having a building

Falls Mark Ruins of Old Time Mill

In the town of Athens, about three
miles up the stream named by the In
dams, THE Wesserrunsett" are some
very picturesque falls, where in the
summer time many trout are snatch
ed forth by the farmers who live near
These falls also mark location of
the ruins of an old and long-forgot-
ten mill. Nothing now remains but
the underpinning which is construct
ed of heavy spruce logs sunk so deep
in the ground that they are hardly
visible; but laid, notched and Joined
with such care that they are yet to
be seen.
No one In the vicinity knowns when
or where or by whom the mill was
built, but all agree that it must have
been many years ago.
various stories are told concerning
1t, many of which conflict to surpris-
ing degree. One relates that in the
old days the mill was attacked by the
Indians while it was in operation and
burned and looted Whatever the
circumstances, the foundation still
remains to be seen and examined by
many visitors.-Lewiston Evening
