Grain Shipments
FromP ortlandLarge

Portland, Me-, March 15.-The can
ceiling of sailings from here due to
the low rate for freights and the fall
: ing off in package freight will great
ly lessen the total shipments from
this port, and there will be far fewer
immigrants this season than last.
There were four sailings Saturday,
and there will probably be at least six
next week.
, The reserve of grain, mostly wheat,
in the elevators and in cars in the
yard is now about 100000 bushels,
and there will be about 100000 BUSH
els more forwarded to this port be-
fore the close of the season.
Outside of grain the shipments will
be far lighter than was anticipated at
, the opening of the season, but the
wheat shipments will hold up well.

Intent of the Bill.

The whole theory of the creation of
the commission said Mr.. Cevington
tonight, has been to make it an eff
ficient, Independent body. In most of
the matters of publicity it has entire
control of the facts gathered. Pub
licity is left to it's discretion and the
bill contains ample authority for it
to prevent the disclosures of those
necessary trade secrets which are val
ueless to the public in promoting law
full competitive business, but which
when disclosed simply afford oppor-
tunity for injurious ouse by cofnpet-
itors Powers of investigation, safe
guarded by proper constitutional linz
itatons against unlawful searches and
seizures are taken from a new sub
ordinate department under the control
of the executive and given to this non
partisan body"

Will Display Maine
Applesin Washington

Orono, Me, March 15.-That Maine
orchardists will make an exhibit at the
National Fruit show in Tacoma,
Wash, this fall was practically de-
cided at an informal conference held
by a number of apple growers who
attended Farmers Week here.
Prof. Bliss Brown of the University
of Maine horticultural department has
tentatively agreed to take charge OF
the exhibit. The idea is primarily TO
advertise Maine as an apple-growing
State and to show varieties raised
here and not produced in the West.
Probably Maine orchardists will con-
tribute enough to make an exhibit OF
100 boxes or more. and the sale of such
an exhibit after the show will nearly
or quite finance the project.

DECLARESTALE
OF DISCOVERY
is NONSENSE

New York, March 15.-The claim OF
Ella Evans Of Los Angeles. Calf, that
she is Dorothy Arnold, who disap-
peared from her home in this city In
1910, was today described as pure
nonsense by the father of the miss
ing girl, Francis r. Arnold.
John S. Keith, the attorney of Mr..
Arnold, who has been taking an ac-
tive part in the world wide search for
the girl, expressed himself similarly.
Some time ago, said Mr.. Keith. let
ter in which knowledge of Miss Ar
nolds whereabouts was asserted was
received from an attorney in Los An
geles, Calf, but no attention had been
paid to 1t, because 1t appeared to Of
fer no better hope of solution of the
mystery than hundreds of other COM
munications of like nature with
which the family has been deluged In
the last three years. A general police
alarm for the missing girl was still
out he said, and both he and Mr.. Ar
mold were confident that they would
have heard from the Los Angeles po-
lice had Miss Arnold been found. Mr..
Keith also denied that Mr.. Arnold had
sent money to the woman claiming to
be his daughter.
That he had received letter from
a Los Angeles attorney was the only
information Mr.. Arnold had to give. Flo
placed no credence in the story that
his daughter had been found.

For this reason they protest against
any plan that will perpetuate the
faults Of these makeshift roadways by
turning them into permanent roads.
They point to the fact that scarce
a road in the state goes through the
year without some little change being
made in the grading or in Its route.
They think that 1t would be mistake
to make any roads permanent other
than roads that years OF travel nave
determined were the best routes, the
shortest routes between the points on
them, and at or about at the correct
grade. They do not oppose making
such roads permanent but think that
where there are such roads, they are
giving such good service already that
it would be preferable to get other and
poorer roads in similar shape before
endeavoring to make any OF them
permanent.

There was much argument and diver

that the United States government
would take charge of the infant, raise
