AUGUSTA LOCALS.
TO INVESTIGATE
Purchasing agreement
Of Portland BARRIERS.
Attorney GeneTa| Wilson viii,
To-day, Hold a Hearing
On Complaints That the Action Vic.
lates Antitrust Law.

The Portland Argus of Saturday,
Aug. 2, says that:
Complaint will be made to Attor.
ney General Wilson at Augusta. to-
day (Monday), that the combination
of the BARRIERS of Portland to raise the
price of shaves is in violation of the
ANTITRUST law that was passed by the
Maine Legislature.
This movement is said to have it's
inception among some of the Portland
BARRIERS, who, while they signed the
agreement for 10 cent shaves, claim
that they were practically driven to
do so by some of the other BARRIERS
who made innuendos and talk that
they would be boycotted if they did
not fall in line, and also that they
would be reported to the national Off
GERS of the BARRIERS Union and were
Informed that that body would take
summary action against them.
The law under which the complaint
is to be made is as follows:
Section l. Every contract, eombina-
ton in the form of trusts or other
wise. or conspiracy in restraint of
trade or commerce in this State is
hereby declared Illegal. Every per-
son who shall make any such COM
bination or conspiracy shall be pun
ished by a fine not exceeding $1,000 or
by Imprisonment not exceeding six
months, or by both such fine and inn
prisonment, in the discretion of the
court.
The last section of the law provides
that any persons who is injured by
such combination may sue any per-
son interested in such combination
| for damages, and if awarded dam
ages that they shall be increased three
times over the amount of the injury
to him.
Another section of the law provides
that every person who monopolizes OF
combines to monopolize with any 9th
er person shall be punished by the
| same penalty. $1,000 fine or six months
in iail, as for the first offence men

been advanced by the master bar

price of living has advanced so tina

Pocket Telephones in Use.

A serviceable pocket telephone is the
latest innovation of the Hungarian
Posts and Telegraphs Administration.
The appliance weighs only 100 gram
mes, is no bigger than a card case, and
can be had by anyone on payment of
the price of forty ordinary telephone
conversations, which cost "a penny
each.
The pocket telephone is adapted for
insertion in wall plug either in pfi-
vate house, on street walls, or in u
lamp post, etc. When the user has fin
ished his conversation, he simply re-
moves the telephone from the plug and
puts its back in his pocket.-New York

This year marks a notable event in
the town of Canaan, it being the 125th
of the Incorporation.
Sometime during the season some OBJ
servance will be carried out.
This town interests everybody in
this section of the State. 1t stands
prominent among the Somerset county
towns, as the first white woman to
settle i'll the county was in Canaan
yet the place she settled is now
The town has an inter-
esting history and figures in the IN
dian history probably more than any
other town in the county.
The plantation name is Wesserun-
sett and later was changed to Hey
named for Peter Haywood,
the first settler. The area of the
town was formerly very much larger
than at present, Skowhegan having
been at one time included within its
limits. Canaan was first represented
in the General Court by Benjamin
Shepherd.
Being settled soon after the Revolu-
tionary war it is natural that many
of the settlers in the town should
have been engaged in that conflict. L
is said that all the families now Twins
in the town that have had ancestors
born there are descendants of Revolu

Value of the Goat.

Somewhere the legend exists that the
goat was created by the devil, which,
perhaps, is justified by the animals per
nicious activities and his fondness for
things not enjoyed by any other living
creature. In ancient times the honor OF
being sacrificed to Bacchus was con-
ferret upon it, and in modern times the
goat, no matter how venerable, Is hon
ored. when presented on the dining
table. by being given the name of one
of the most docile animals known. From
time immemorial has the animal been
used as the butt for jokes in comic pa
pers and there have been few who have
shown willingness to espouse the
cause of this really useful but maligned
member of the animal Kingdom.
At last a champion has been found, one
who comes forth boldly without fear OF
critcnsm, and tells of the unsupported
value of the goat and proclaims that the
animal is more satisfactory and profit
able as Il milk producer than COW. A
physician of Buffalo, with the appro-
pirate name of Dr. w. Sheldon Bull,
reused by the base insinuations and in
Justice done the poor mans cow says
that instead of having our cows tested
for tuberculosis or worrying ourselves to
death for fear our dairyman despite his
solemn oath, has not made the tests he
should have made. why not obtain our
milk from an animal that could not nave
tuberculosis il it tried he calls the
goat 1.-THE only dairy animal immune to
tuberculosis" He believes the virtues of
goat milk and the ease of obtaining 1t
are too little known i'll this country, and
he is applying himself to the task of
filling this need long existent, but APP
parently not sufficiently felt.
Anybody can keep a goat, DR.. Bull
tells us, and everybody ought to. From
hygienc point of view it is argued that
the owners of these hardy little crea-
lures may enjoy greater advantages
than does the possessor of a pampereu,
pedigreed COW of the most fashionable
breed. 1t is we'll known that goats milk
is richer, more nutritious and more easily
digested than cows milk, ana as diet
for children and invalids it is stated by
the most eminent physicians to be un-
surpassed.
So far as attempting to overcome the
ignorance and prejudice regarding the
goat by any organized or systematic eff
fort toward educating the public with
reference to the economic, dietary and
sanitary value of the animal. We are lar
behind other civihzed countries, perhaps
due to the lack of Information given the
people of the United States by those in
charge of Government reports. outs.ue
