Build Approaches for
The Island Bridge.

Harpswen, Me, Dec. 23,-(SpeciaD.-
Work began today building two roads,
one on Bailey Island and the other
on Orr's Island. for the approaches
to the proposed bridge, which will
connect the two islands. For two
years the town of Harpswell has been
fighting over the question of bridging
the gut between the two islands and
even now the opponents of the bridge
have an appeal pending over the de-
cision of the county commissioners in
favor Of the bridge. They will lay
the case before the law court at it's
next session. The selectmen met
Monday to award the contract for
building the bridge, but upon the ad-
vice of Attorney General Scott VIII
son they have delayed making the
award until the State Highway Com
mission has approved the plans for
the structure. AS soon as this approv-
al is received the sefectmen plan to
| let the contract and to have the work
rushed in an effort to get the bridge
well under way before the appeal of
the bridge opponents is heard. The
roads on the two islands leading to
the waters edge will both be built at
once as a start toward the construc-
| tion of the bridge.

Pres. Tener of Nat. League to
Insist Upon Strict Discipline.

New York, Dec. 23--Striet disci-
pline on the baseball field is one of
the things President John X. Tener
of the National League will demand
of his umpires, according to his Sec
retary, David Leroy Reeves, with
whom he has discussed the umpire
problem.
The only person who can preserve
order on the ball field is the umpire.
President Tener said, and he added
by way of emphasis, that in matters
of discretion and judgment where the
umpire is not specifically guided by
rule, he should be supreme
President Teners idea of what the
ideal arbiter should be was expressed
as follows:
Il do not wish to be understood as
meaning that an umpire should be
a law unto himself; that his man
ner should be dictatorial, his atti
tude arrogant, and his entire de-
meanor evince a self-satisfied air that
would brook no argument or inter-
cession. Right the contrary, l think
an umpire should be conciliatory but
firm. positive but polite, quick but
strict but reason
able"

If a strike should be called 1900

The officials said their demand for
10 per cent. increase in wages was
met by an offer Of one per cent. in

other demands were rejected.
According to Newman, arrange

and is not going to make ruling that
will apply only to this section" con-
tinued Mr.. Bass.
In adopting percentage basis on
the stumpage they have precedent to
go by. feel that it is better TO adopt
the percentage that was in force in
the CO.'S and recommended it to the
commissioner of internal revenue.
There will probably be no decision or
ruling from the department until after
the new year comes in.
I'VE can better afford to pay on the
basis of 25 per cent. of the returns for
stumpage as the income on the land
than we can to go in for estimates of
growth, value of lands, ETC., which
might lead TO litigation and further
expense
Il believe that we should adopt Some

that we should make 1t understood that
it ought to be less than 25 per cent,

than have it any other way. 1t is cas-
ilv determined from the scalers' fig
ures and is easy to get at
Franck c. Hinckley of this city
agreed with Mr.. Bass upon the meth
cd of arriving at the income from the
| lands but he did not believe that it
ought to be more than Is per cent. as
| a basis.
| Mr.. Bass replied that it was not the
amount, but the principle as estab-
lished by precedent, that he favored,
and if it were IL or % per cent. he be-
| lieved it was the only correct and feas-
ible way to establish the basis on
which to collect the tax and to avoid
trouble, expense and lawsuits.
Forresct H. Colby of Bingham stated
| that he believed that Mr.. Bass idea
was well worth a great deal of consid
Grafton by the members of the asso-
citation.
There was some more discussion on
| the matter and then Mr.. Ames offered
| the motion as given above. Before it
was passed the resolution embodying
| Mr. Bass idea was adopted.
Before adjournment Mr., Bass sug-
| gested that the meeting be adjourned
/ until such a time as a session is call
| ed by the president or the clerk, on
| the written request of five members and
with two weeks notice. Under the by
laws two weeks notice has to be given
| for the meetings Of the association.
Mr.. Bass urged On the members pres
| ent the Importance cf keeping up the
! organization and increasing In mem
bership. He said that he beAeNed that

! State should De a member Of the as
4 sociation. He told Of some of the i'm
| portant work that had been done in
the State by the association. referring
particularly to the passage of the law
whereby part of the tax on wild lands
! is now devoted to the protection OF
those lands from fire.
There was no other business and the

ers, the new president said that he
was opposed to the general practice
employed in melting out punishment
to players for offences committed on
the field. He said:
''One of the cardinal principles of
justice is that every man should
have an opportunity to be heard, to
present his side of the case. If a
PLAYER is guilty of the charges sub
nnitted by the umpire and has no
equitable or reasonable defence, the
ends of justice and the morals of dis
cipline can be served just as well by
suspending the player three or four
days after the violation has occurred
and all the evidence received and in
vestigated as by an immediate sus-
pension following the report of the
arbitrator.
ITO my mind the club owner IS
really the one who suffers most by
a players suspension. The players
absence weakens the team and in the
end the club owner is the real suf-
ferer.
There is no reason why such cases
should not he considered in the most
ienient attitude possible and by all
means obtained the facts in the case
from both sides before the player is
punished by suspension"

That the potato embargo applying to
tubers from the British Isles, Canada
and Continental Europe, which was
continued indefinitely Monday by the
secretary of agriculture, is necessary
in order to successfully combat pota-
to disease met with in this country,
and particularly in Maine is the belief
of =. T.. Enabree CT the State agricul-
tural department. Mr.. Embree stated
to the Commercial Tuesday morning
that the situation is serious enough
in this country, especially in the
State of Maine, without admitting from
other countries potatoes that are in
fccted.
Diseases of the potato are engaging
the attention of agricultural experts
in many states of the Union, and the
federal officers, too. The powdery scab
is an infection that the scientists cam
not fight at present, not having dis
covered anything to offset IT Mainc is
troubled as much as any other place
and is already receiving complaints
from New Jersey about this scab being
present in seed potatoes. 1t is more
necessary for the Aroostooi potatoes
to be guarded than any others, because
they are sent all over the United States
for seed and If the source is poisoned,
the country's crop will be damaged.
Mr. Embree disagrees with the ex-
ception of the agricultural department
to the embargo allowing the quaran-
tine to be raised under proper regula-
ton and inspection from countries OF
districts which can show that they are

C.. E. Embree Insists That the
Potato Embargo Is lslmperative.

free from. the disease He says that
every potato raising country except
Denmark has been proven to have in
fected tubers and. even if there are
certain sections of these lands that
claim exemption, there are no means of
making certain that no bad potatoes
are contained in shipments.
The only way TO make sure of the
freedom Of a cargo from disease, he
says, is to examine each and every po-
tato and it can be seen that this is
entirely impracticable. To say that be-
cause samples of potatoes from
cargo prove to be satisfactory, the
whole lot is all right, is erroneous. A
physician might examine nine-tenths
of the people of a city for smallpox
and find none, yet he could not say
that there were absolutely no coses of
smallpox in the city, for there might
be several among the one tenth not ex-
amined, who, unknown, would be a
menace.
There, Mr.. Embree AYERS that all inn
spection of shipments from countries
where the disease exists is useless. as
it will fail to keep out defective prod
uct. The only way 70 be safe he says.
is not to admit them from those coun-
tries.
A feature of potato diseases is that
once in the SOIL it is almost impossible
to eradicate them. Constant and minute
care is needed in guarding against
them. Bags, and even vessels carrying
potatoes may spread them to other
cargoes indefinitely.

TO ELIMINATE SMOKE
AND CINDER NUISANCE.

New York, Dec. 23.-After nearly
three years of experimentation To-
cal manufacturing company has per-
fected, 1t is claimed, an apparatus
which practically eliminates the
smoke and cinder nuisance. The ,ap-
paratus, known as wet cleaner, Is
simple in construction and operation.
The smoke coming from the fires which
heat huge boilers, laden with Gin
ders, is driven at high speed through
a sheet of water By this process
practically all of the material which
constituted nuisance is deposited in
a big water tank.
The water cleaning apparatus has
been attached to II of the boilers in
the manufacturing plant here and 1t
is estimated that the equipmenv re-
duces the amount of material dis
charged by the boilers by rs per cent.
