where W. A. Macomber has set up the frame
of yawl boat. which will be for sale when
completed, we we're reminded of the time
when his father, the late c. o. Macomber, built
the yawl boats for Belfast's then large fleet of
vessels. He was an expert and conscientious
workman and only the best material went into
the boats he built. 1t was often said of them
that they could be carried for months bottom
up on the deck of a vessel in all climates and
all weathers. but when put overheard would
be as tight as a cup and would sometimec out

A Big Hog.

At the Iowa station, at Ames, they
have hog which weighed, at FAT
days or eight months, 4O5 pounds.
This hog is Hampshire-Duroc cross,
and has had before him in separate
self-feeders, corn, oats, meat meal or
tankage, limestone, charcoal, salt,
and oil meal. Although so heavy,
this hog still continues to gain at the
rate daily of about one and one-half
pounds.
They have two other hogs at the
Iowa station which have reached 346
pounds and 336 pounds, respectively,
at eight months Of age. These are
unusually good weights, although
rather overshadowed by the weight
of the 4O5 pound hog.
z Can any of our readers beat this
record? Do any of them have accur-
ate weights on hogs which have pass
ed the $50 pound mark at eight
months of age? If so, we would be
glad to hear from them, together
with details as to breeding and meth

IOO,0OO,0OO Americans.

Reckoning by the increase rate be-
tween 1900 and 1910 the census
bureau estimates that the United
States will number 1OO,OOO,OOO at
d. m. April 2. Reckoning by percent
ages, Actuary Mccoy of the treasury
finds that by Feb l we shall have
100,O16,00O people, and that the
hundred million mark will be passed
the 9th or 2Sth of January.
The census bureau method is con-
sentative to a fault. The 1S90-19OO
increment in population was 1892
600; in 1900-1910 it was nearly &c.
900, 900 Any one reckoning the
population in 1909 by simply adding
nine-tenths of the growth in the pre-
vious decades would have gotten a
result 100000 too small. The CEN
sus bureaus recent estimates of the
population of New York and other
cities are very low The Mccoy
method is statistically correct.
Causes that accelerate and retard
growth are balanced Against the
check to immigration in the past five
months, set the constant improve
ment in sanitary, science and low
cred death rate. New York City is
growing faster than ever before from
natural causes; the same condition is
noted in other great centers of popu-
lation, and must maintain the growth
percentage practically unchanged.
Including Alaska, the continental
United States covers a quarter of the
land area of the New World. 1t is
much the best. quarter. None of it is
trODical and cOmnaratiVelv little is
polar OF the other large countries
of the continent, only Argentine,
Canada and possibly Chilli have &C
curate census figures. A continent
in the midst of which Col Roosevelt
discovers a River of Doubt nearly
1000 miles long cannot count it's
forest jewellers. All America outside
of the United States cannot have
more than 9O,OOO,O0O inhabitants;
the number is doubtless smaller than
that. In wealth, commerce and pro-
ductiveness, the primacy of the Unit
ed States is overwhelming

GIRL MEETS TRAGIC DEATH.
Miss Emma Henderson, of Ellston,
instantly Killed by Fast Mail
Train No. z Last Thursday.

Miss Emma Henderson, the II
year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Nelse Henderson, Of Ellston, Iowa,
met tragic death of Alton Junction
last Thursday noon while waiting at
that point for Burlington passenger
train No. 8 on which she had intend
ed coming to Creston to visit her
brother-in-law, who is in local hos
pital Miss Henderson was instantly
killed by being struck by the engine
Of fast mail train No. Z while at
tempting to cross over to the right
side of that train. She was thrown
about $50 feet and considerable
distance off to the right side of the
track, but was not badly mangled.
1t is believed by those who saw
the circumstances attending the &C
cident that the unfortunate girl had
mistaken No. Z for passenger train
No. 3 on seeing the former coming
down the track, and consequently at
tempted to cross over to the north
side of the train in order to board it..
Miss Henderson was accompanied
by her sister, Mrs. Richard Daub,
treatment in the hospital here. Mrs.
DduU was SLduU1uS vi luC oICpo AOdu-
ing to the Great Western tracks
when the accident happened. Upon
seeing her sister picked up by the
train and hurled through the air,
she tainted and fell down three
flights of steps. She was picked up
in an unconscious condition, and it
was the opinion of those about her at
the time that she was quite badly
hurt, although it is believed not SER
iously.
The body of the dead girl was pick
ed up by spectators and taken into
the restaurant, and Coroner A. N.
Keys was Immediately called from
Creston.
The mail train did not stop after
hitting the girl, and upon reaching
Creston it developed that neither the
engine or train crew knew anything
of the accident. The members of the
engine crew were Immediately sum-
moned into the superintendent Of
flee upon their arrival in Creston, but
upon being questioned stated posi-
lively that they did not know any
thing about the accident, and did not
even know that the train had struck
anyone.-CrestOn Advertiser
