WORLDS BIGGEST FLAGPOLE.
Stick as Tall as Bunker Hill Monument
Put in Place.

The giant Oregon fir tree, which has
been shaped to make the largest fiagpole
in the world, has been raised at the ex-
position grounds at San Francisco.
Owing to its great weight and length
the pole was extremely difficult to ham
die and the work of getting it into an
upright position has reused as much in
terest as any other single construction
feature at the exposition.
The pole stands 222 feet above the
ground and the gilded star at it's top rises
10 feet higher. Ten feet Of the butt is
set into solid block of reinforced con-
crete weighing 200 tons, which will be OF
sufficient bulk to hold the pole upright
against the highest winds without the
assistance of guy ropes or other supports.
The flagpole itself weighs IS tons, the
log from which it was trimmed having
weighed so tons. Three derricks were
required to erect the pole.
The pole was given to the exposition
by the citizens Of Astoria, Or, and was
fioated down the coast to the exposition
grounds over a year ago. 1t will carry q
great American flag 46 feet long, also
given by the citizens of Astoria. New

from start to finish so that one may &C
over it and visit these places without the
necessity of mapping out the trip in ac-
vance or worrying over details.
This years book has 352 pages and in
addition to the routes, contains special
ly prepared digest of the Maine automo.
bile law. the Maine fish and game laws and
the Maine forest fire re quirements. Other
features are requirements for automo-
biles entering Canada, list of valuable

about the Maine Automobile Association,
and among the most valuable features is
series of indexes covering the list of
routes, towns and citizen maps, ETC.,
contained in the book.
Owing to the great cost of the book
this year, and the fact that it Is cloth
bound, it will be necessary to make
small charge, partially to cover the cost
of preparation. The book, however, will

lions, information bureaus, newspapers,

THE MAINE AUTOMOBILE YEAR BOOK

The indispensable handbook for auto
lists for 1914 has just been issued and
without doubt is the finest automobile
guide of the Pine Tree State that has
ever been gotten out. The book has been
in preparation for one year, during which
time the Associations path-fnding cars
have covered practically every important
highway from Houlton in Aroostook
county to the Atlantic ocean, and from
the New Brunswick line on the east to
New Hampshire on the west. In fact,
the Association has done even more than
this and has laid out routes covering
practically all of New Hampshire as well
Boston to Portland and from the Massa-
chusetts capital to the mountain resorts
of the Granite State.
The book contains over 100 routes in
detail, giving right and left turns, inter-
mediate mileage and all landmarks along
the way. These cover many routes OF
travel never before charted and which
are among the best in the State. In ad-
dition, the book is splendldly illustrated
with scores of pictures along the differ
ent routes, many of which were specially
taken for this edition. All the different
points of interest over which the tours
pass are described, and in fact, nothing
has been left out in the line OF informa-
ton which the tourist might desire.
Among the best features OF the 1914
edition are three new maps specially
prepared for this book, these include
general automobile road map covering
every principal automobile road WITHIN
the State of Maine as we'll as the great
er part of New Hampshire. In addition.
there is a sportsmen's map showing all
of the great sporting region of the State.
This is geographically correct, so far as
the location of rivers, lakes and noun
tains are concerned. Both of these maps
are printed in colors. There is also a
third map, printed in three colors, OF the
Pine Tree Tour, which this year is again
feature Of the road book. The Pine
Tree Tour lie designed to cover all princi,,
pal points of interest in the southern and
western half of the State most visited by

The Presidents Mexican Policy

To THE EDITOR OF THE BOSTON TRAN
SCRIPT: The sum total of accomplish
ment in Mexico to which Wilson and
BRYAN can point with pride as the result
of more than year of stupendous effort
is the promotion, enrichment and ldeallza-
ton of notorious Mexican bandit. Villa.
The sum total of disaster for which this
precious pair of meddlers is responsible
is the exile and impoverishment: OF
thousands of American residents OF Mex
leo. absolute loss of American prestige
in Latin America, the reaping of ridlcule
and contempt from the European capitals,
the ruin and devastation of Mexico, the
unnecessary and shocking sacrifice OF our
fighting men at Vera Cruz, the expendl-
ture Of millions of money, and an un,
certain future. To get Huerta they had
to raise up Villa. If one can call that
lofty idealism he is suffering from the
same psychological ailment as the Presl.
dent and his Secretary of State. And if
thew finally succeed in getting Huerta,
who knows but that the next disastrous
lob will be to get Villa?

priations for a lightship al this session,
unless the Maine Senators can get it on
the Sundry Civil bill at the north end Of
the Capitol. The fight for the appropria-
ton was to finish in the Democratic
House and was lost. The debate there
was long and earnest, but for reasons of
economy and also because the Lighthouse
Board is not overfriendly to the idea, no
provision for the lightship was made.
Representative Mondell of Wyoming, a
member of the appropriations commit
tee, in discussing the proposed appro-
priation, said: "The members of Con-
gress from the State of Maine and the
people interested in shipping there have
been very earnest and anxious in support
of this proposition for lightship off
Monheaan Island. Quite number of
gentlemen interested in shipping appear
ed before the appropriations committee
and made very complete statements with
regard to the matter. Representatives
Guernsey and Peters of the Maine dele
cation have been greatly interested in it
and have urged the appropriations COM
mittee to support it. -

to perfect apparatus which, if installed
on light draft vessels would detect the

apparatus could be perfected and used
by the owners of light draft vessels

government in the maintenance of light
ships.

Senator John Sharp Williams, of Mis-
sissippi, who is accounted one of the
best story tellers in the country, told this
one to several old cronies the other day.
A generation ago story went the
rounds that Dr. GWin, of California, the
some time "Duke of Sonora, the title
given him in jest because of his efforts
to colonize that Mexican State during
the Second Empire, and the Hon. Robert
J. Walker, of Mississippi, eX-secretary
of the Treasury, were going to fight
duel with tomahaWks. The quarrel was
reconciled it was said, in consequence
of Walkers laughter at discovering the
erratic results of OWNS private practice
at throwing the tomahawk at stump
''There is story of similar nature
told," said Senator Williams, "of duel
between Charles James Fox, the famous
EnglishWhig statesman of the Eighteenth
Century, and Mr.. Adam of the British
Ordnance Department., growing out OF
Fox's bitter attacks on the management
of that department, the chief charge
being that useless ammunition was sup
piled to the forces. The two met and
exchanged shots. At the second fire
Adam was not hit, but his bullet struck
Fox and stuck in the waistband of his
thick leather breeches. by Jove,
exclaimed Fox, on the instant, smiling
at his own wit, if you had not used
Ordnance powder would now be dead
man.

hand, Fox took it, and they were good
friends ever AFTER

WASHINGTON, ID. C., July 6, 1914.
Congressman Caleb Powers, OF the
Eleventh Kentucky District, talking to
number of friends in the Republican
cloak room the other day, said there were
many quaint characters in the mountain
GUS regions of the Ozark and BLOODY
Ground" He tells this story by way OF
illustration: Shortly after | was ad-
mitted to the bar and was riding the
Circuit | was appointed by the Court TO
defend middle-aged fellow who was
indicted for the murder of his mother
1t was regarded as bad case, and nat
urally, | wanted to make as much reputa-
ton out of it as l could. | examined the
indictment carefully and was unable TO
pick flaw in it. Then | took my client
to one side for private consultation and
told him it was necessary that l should
know the exact truth, assuring him, OF
course, that whatever he told me, as his
counsel, was privileged and could not be
used against him. Then l shot the direct
question at him: Did you kill your
mother?' Yes, he replied, i did kill
her. why did you do it" | asked
him, 4 killed her. he answered be-
cause she was not worth wintering.
According to a bulletin Just issued by
the Coast and Geodet1c Survey OF the
Department of Commerce, re-surVey is
to be made of the approaches to Cape
Cod Canal, Buzzards Bay, Massachu-
sets, by the wiredrag method. This
method, which first was used by the
Coast Survey on the Maine Coast in 1904,
has been constantly improved and has
been successfully used with discovery OF
important unchartered shoals on the
coasts of New England, Florida, Califor-
MIA and elsewhere The wire-drag con-
sists principally of long wire suspended
at a known depth below the surface OF
the water by small buoys connected to
the drag wire by wire cable verticals.
1t is lowed by launches, which follow
courses that will produce proper tension
on the wire. The object of the work is
to benefit the charts and to make it pos
sble to issue sailing directions, which, if
carefully followed, will insure the safety
of the largest vessel that will ever
enter the Cape Cod Canal, and also to
furnish correct information for future
improvement that may be recommended
or made by the United States Engineers
Apropos of the Cape Cod Canal, the
last dixie of which was opened in April
last, it is greater in its dimensions than
the original Suez Canal. 1t is miles
long, minimum bottom width 100 feet,
depth at high water 80 feet, low water
Is feet. According to the Canal Com
pany's figures, the tributary tonnage
now going around the outside Cape Cod
route is about 25, 900, 900 per annum, all
but a very small percentage under
American registry. About half this
tonnage is carried in lows and schooners.
Figuring an average delay of four days
round trip, the Company places the
loss on coal and lumber in lows and sail
ing craft alone at ten cents per ton

Frank Clark 10 Killed When Ne steps

Engine.

Frank Clark, an engineer on the
Wabash railroad, running between
Keokuk and Bluffs, was instantly kill
ed Thursday evening about 10 o'clock
at Bluffs. when he stepped down
from the cab of his own engine and
on to the track where a switch en-
CINE with a drag Of cars was run
ming. He was instantly killed when
the switch engine threw him under
tho wheels.
According to the reports Of the ac.
cident here, Clark had been noticing
trouble with the air on the engine In
which he was in charge, and when
he stopped he took his torch to go
around the engine and to investigate
the cause for the trouble. He was
so Interested in his own work, that he
paid little attention to the surround
ings, it is believed, and failed
to see the switch engine.
The switch engine was pulling two
