PORTLAND HAS
ONLY INCA NUM-
MY IN EXISTENCE
Taken from Solid Boulder in
Chill Where 1t Had Rested
Hundreds of Years

| Portland. Me, July 21.-An Inca
mummy taken from a solid boulder in
the great mountain desert of Chilli,
South America, is a visitor in Port
land and unknown to any save the
owner, T. G. Taylor of Halifax, n. S.,
and two Portland men. This mum
my has been deposited in the safe de-
post vaults of local bank. Even the
bank officials were unaware of the
contents of a small green box left in
their care for safe keeping
The mummy in Portland is the only
Inca mummy ever found and accord
ing to Mr.. Taylor is at least $500 years
old while scientists have insisted that
the mummy had been buried before the
flood
The owner of this wonderful $500
year old baby does not claim to be
a scientist in any sense of the word
as he is a mechanical engineer and
was in Chilli for three years as me-
chanical superintendent for Macdonald
& Gibbs & Co.. who were constructing
the Longitudinal Railway, a line run
ming north and south in Chill. The
greater part of this 700 mile railroad
was over the tablelands, 1900 to
1000 feet above the level of the sea,
across which the Incas built a Won
derful 700 mile road many hundred
years ago. This road is intact today,
other than sections which were de-
stroyed by earthquakes or volcanic
eruptions. Along either side of this
great road crossing the desert region
of Chill were found skeletons of the
once powerful Inca race, but the tiny
Inca baby now in Portland was the
only Inca mummy ever discovered and
as a matter of fact this mummified
child was discovered by accident after
having been buried 90 feet below the
surface for more than $500 years.
While the railway builders were
making "cut" their progress was
held by a huge boulder about 10 feet
in diameter. This boulder was 20
feet below the sand covered surface,
or to be exact was below eight to 10
inches of sand. beneath a seam of
nitrate from three to four feet in
thickness and the remainder of the
depth was heavy gravel. The meth
cd employed fer removing all obsta-
Giles in the path of the railway was
brought into play on the big boulder
and after the dynamite charge had
been exploded the huge rock was split
in two. In a small cavity directly in
the center of the boulder the Inca
mummy was found wrapped in a cloth
covering.
In this natural tomb buried 30 feet
below the desert region of Chill il had
rested for thousands of years. How
the mummy was placed or came is
not known, but Mr.. Taylor has learned
from scientists and by personal study
that the mummy was a child between
6 and 10 years of age. When death
occurred the child was about % inches
in height, but today it is about 10 1-2
inches tall as the Incas possessed the
lost art of reducing the size of the
body after death.

Mark Lobster Traps and Cars

The commissioner of sea and shore
fisheries wishes to call attention 70 the
lobster fishermen of the law in regard to
marking their lobster cars and buoys at
tached to lobster traps Sec. % of the
laws relating to Sea and Shore Fisheries
of Maine
Sec %. All cars in which Holsters are
kept and all lobster cars while in tho
water, shall have the name of the owner
or owners thereof on the top of the car,
where it may be plainly seen in letters no
less than three-fourths of an inch in
length, plainly carved or branded there
ON, and all traps, nets or other devices
for the catching of Holsters. shall have
Whlle IN the water. the owners name
carved or branded in like manner on all
the buoys attached to said traps or o,>,er
devices, under penalty of ten. dollars
for each car, and five dollars for each
trap or device not so marked: and If
sufficient proof to establish the owner
ship of such cars or traps cannot be
readily obtained they may be declared
forfeited
Upon recent cruise on the coast the
monochrome oFei Gu the fact that
many lobster buoys were being used with
only the initials marked thereon other
instances where only the first two mi
tails and the surname were marked and
other cases where only the surname was
used.
Lobster cars and buoys so marked are
confusing for the warden to tell who the
rightful owner may be, and to eliminate
these conditions the commissioner an
nounces that all lobster cars, buovs and
other devices must have the owners full
name thereon. For illustration, if a
mans name is George B. Jones. his lob
ster cars, buoys and other devices must
be so marked. C. 3. j.. G. b Jones and
the differentiation of Geo. for George will
not be sufficient.
The commissioner fully realizes the
fact that in many cases It means hard
and extra work for the lobster fishermen
at this time of the year to mark their
lobster gear, still he feels that the law
must be complied with and is willing to
give the lobster fishermen reasonable
length of time for them to attend to this
matter.
The commissioner also announces
that he has put the State boat, Sea
Gull into commission to inspect this
work, together with other duties on
the entire coast

l care not what your place may be,
A job that's most laborious
With mighty little salary,
Or ones that's fat and glorious,
But, be your labor great or small,
OF this you must be sensible
Some other guy can do it all,
No man is indispensable!
When you begin to swell with pride
And cater to the gallery
And put on lots of dog" and "side"
Because they've raised your salary,
Why, then's the time you'll tumble
quick; -
Such ways are indefensible;
Some other guy can do your trick;
No man is indispensable.
It's well enough to know your worth
And know just what to do with it,
But don't imagine that the earth
Will quit when you are through
with it;
No, it will roll upon it's way
And-what seems reprehensible-
Some other guy will draw your pay;
No man is indispensable!
