BoBton--ln the opinion OF Edward
Farnham Greene, treasurer OF the Pa
cIhc mills, the people OF New Eng
land lost the chance OF their lifetime
to better themselves when they failed
to get control OF the Boston a. Maine.
At the meeting OF the New Eng.

Greene declared that New England.
against whom Congress was prcjudic-
ed needed more unity in it's political
parties.
Democrats and Republicans should
get together on the tariff he said.
Congress Is strongly prejudiced
against New England, and this fact
alone demands the union OF the po-
litical parties here to protect Our In
tercsts. Members OF one party are as
much interested in New England as
are those OF another

evening when he heard shouts in the

to escape two shots fired at him. Sew

SHIP BUILDING IN

Once Big Industry Has Now Dwindled to

Ship Carpenters and Sail Makers Adopt Other
Lines of Work

Bangor, Me.-When steel ship build

News, Va, and other points on the
Atlantic coast, and notably on the
Great Lakes, has made rapid gains in
the last few years, the wooden ship
building industry Of Maine, once -four
ishing, is now little more than a
memory, because there is little de-
mand for that class OF tonnage.
The foreign trade that used to en-
ploy so many State of Maine wooden
ships, barks and brigs has been lost
to foreign flags, and the sailing yes.
sci has been almost crowded out OF
the coasting trade by steamers and
barges. Time was when the annual
review OF shipbuilding operations in
Maine yards occupied columns in the
papers, out in 1912 so few vessels OF
any size or class were built that the
whole subject was disposed OF in a
paragraph.
1t is not at all likely that wooden
,shipbuilding will ever regain it's for
mer extent and importance, and the
coast OF Maine is lined with yards
that have been idle for years. with
their buildings and ways far gone in
decay and their crews scattered TO
other occupations. The riggers get
little work in connection with the
building trades or in the erection Of
tall stacks or the hosting OF heavy

Not a Hair Litter.

Franklin Falls.-Some OF the Bos-
ton papers had a hair lifting story OF
a string of runaway freight cars on
the Franklin & Tilton branch and
their narrow escape from meeting an
express train on a heavy grade. Sim
mered down it seems that the locomo-
tive had been detached from four or
five cars at the pulp mills above
Franklin Falls station and they were
to be allowed to run on to side
track by their own momentum. For
some reason the brakes failed to work
properly and the crew had some diff

nearly TO Franklin Junction. The
agent at North Boscawen was noti-
fled and was prepared to protect the

ling cars without an engine that a
similar occurrence is not liable to hap
