a fixed institution of these waters same

''What did you say he was?" queried
the stranger.
"a porpus-excuse me, l should say
porpoise = that's the way it is in the
books. Sort Of whale on very small
scale. They used to be plenty in the

be scared off, all but 'Ol Gramp.'
''Now the ordin airy porpus goes along

AROOSTOOK POTATOES

The yield of potatoes in Aroo.,
will not be quite so large as was e yno0ok
even last week. Our people last p pd
predicted falling off of rs per CENT tteek
acre from last year, but now thew NJ per
the falling off 80 per cent or more "i Tt
rust has been doing considerable dam,inne
but the cold weather of the last dag
two has checked it considerably NJ
reasons for the rust are not altogatbaIe
clear, although of course the rather di saslt
and hot weather of the past week or t rlp
has had their share of effect. The W.. Nv
sence of potato bugs this year has o.
abled the potatoes to go without so mn 1I'
spraying as usual, and many of ~
farmers have probably very lmprona,Is
taken advantage OF this fact, not sprs may
ing sufficiently. The first shipment "
potatoes from Aroostook county Went ~ ~
the Bangor & Aroostook from VIZ
Road, just this side of Houlton, SunGsi
morning. 1t is said that 81. 90 bsTrs,
was paid for these pototoes. The gsr

perhaps quite as high, although her e. cro VI
will be considerably on the light order u

No Truth in Submarine Report.


Greatly I'm much interested-but l
haven't seen anything like this explana-
ticn of this German submarine scare
printed in the papers. How do you &C.
count for that, kind sirs?'
''It's cause these newspaper fellers
don't come to headquarters for informa-
ton, General. They pick up somethin'
from some irresponsible person and go
by dead reckonin' and guess at the rest
and soon we people who have lived all
our lives right here in Castine and know
all about what's goin' on read in the
papers some yarns that are really dis
grace to the intelligence of the native
population"
''Then there's no truth whatever in
the report that there was German sub
marine seen In these waters?"
Neither truth or reason, Commodore.
'Ol Gramp' is the only subm'rIn round
here-and who d thunk that a barnacled
and whiskery Of porpus would have nigh
about started what you call international
mplications-all cause them newspa-
per fellers didn't get information from
reliable sources-eh, mates?"
GAY. ay, SIR" responded the club in

Reviews West brooksvlle's Shipbuilding
Days.
Written for the Ellsworth American by Capt.
George H. Tapiey of West Brooksville
Today, August 4, 1915, looking down
the bay and not seeing sail or the spar
of one sailing vessel, takes me back
eighty years, when, three and one-half
| years old at the time, l saw my first
schooner and the first had ever boarded.
Her name was the Mary Cook. She
was owned by the late David WATSON,
and commanded by my father, Capt.
Robert Tapley. She was lying at her
anchor in Lunt's cove. Before going
into the coasuing trade she was Marble
head grand banker of about sixty TONS
burden. She had stub masts and four
foot quarter-trake, a brick fireplace in
her cabin, with wooden smoke stack
above the deck. She was wrecked some
years after on the Cuckolds, off Booth
bay, on return trip from Boston. l
think she was the only vessel owned at
West Brooksville at that time.
Harrison. She was built and launched
from Dodge's shore. After fitting for
sea, she sailed for St. Peters and was
wrecked on the Nova Scotia coast on the
passage down. Capt. John Douglass was
| In command and Parker Candage of Blue
hill was chief mate at the time.
The following year, 1912, David and his
cousin, John WATSON, built and launched,
| from the same ways, the brig WATSON.
| Those briggs were about 100 t0ns-large
vessels for the times. While owned here,
| the WATSON was sailed by three different
captains, namely, Capt. John Douglass,
Capt. Galen Norton and Capt. Brooks
Grindle. Capt. Grindle died on the pas
sage home from Vera Cruz, Mexico, in
184S, and was buried at sea when within
thirty six hours of New York.
After building the above-named briggs,
David WATSON purchased the following
schooners: Wave of Wells, Napoleon Of
Bunker's Islands, President of West
Sedgwick, Elizabeth of Salem.
About 1858, Mr.. WATSON established a
plant at what is now known as Wasson's
wharf, where he, with his son William
and son-in-law, Capt. Jere Jones, built
the following vessels: Schooners Day.

brig Robert Ramsey, bark Lucy Frances,
schooners David WATSON g masts) Abby
WATSON, Henry Whitney, Laura H. Jones,
Louisa Smith, Lizzie L. Tapley.
The last vessel Mr.. WATSON purchased
was the sloop Lapwing, once Sedgwick
and Portland packet, on which three
famous steamship masters held their first
command, namely, Capt. Charles Deer
ing, Capt. George L. Norton and Capt.
George A. Stevens.
In the early fifties John WATSON built
and launched from his shore, at the head
of Lawrence bay, schooners Culoden and
the Silver Cloud. The Culoden was built
for Capt. Elisha Darby, but when dis
masted and lost in winters northwest
gale off Long Island, N. Y, she was
commanded by Capt. Robert Redman.
The Silver Cloud was lost onIN antucket
Shoals, March IL, 1885, in a northeast
snow storm. She was from New York,

were lost.
There were built in the early fifties, at
North Brooksville, the following vessels:
Schooners Phebe Ann, K: II. Mouiton,
3. D. Grindle and Eliza Jane, and brig
Emma w. Richardson.
Above the third narroWs, John Lynn
burner built the schooners Brooksville
and the John Lymburner. These two
vessels were launched from a beach off
which Joseph Lymburner, brother of
the builder, when boy, learned his first
seamanship in log dugout, and who took
the first command of Donald Mckay
four-masted four-deck ship, the Great
Republic, the largest ship in the world at
| that time, 1854.
Sixty years ago, beginning with the
one schooner, the old Mary Cook, up to
1875. our fleet of coasting vessels had in
cresed to thirty-four sail. Today there
is not one part of any vessel owned In
West Brooksville. Had | the time ano
patience could go on and tell the end Of
about all of the aforementioned vessels.

I've got little yeller pup,

Except ter eat OF vittles up
An steal tn meat, an such.
But t other day SEE ter him,
With er countenance ov sorrow:
when tn legislator meets again,

Eyer collar, pup, fer expect
That body wise an stately
Some plan will even now detect
In that new law they lately

Before they'll let me fish tn sea-
That'il cost another dollar!

Their brains'll keep eXpandin'
An they'll have er roundup ev'ry year
With commission ter do tn brandin' !"
Thus ruminated ter him.
One fine p NJ. this summer:
Other States sure have bum laws
But gadzooks! ours are hummer.
Oh, that might sing song
(Or even say say,)
I'd praise tn freedom we've enjoyed
Since Independence DAY.
Of how King George (tyrannous cussD
Was whipped an overthrown,
An inter what heritage
OF Freedom we have grown!
Oh, it's nice ter be Americans,
It's glorious ter be free,
There's nary one ov us would live
In land of tyranny.
Yes. it's great ter be Americans
B'neath tn English yoke
We couldn't live, so we our bonds
With due decorum broke.
Yes, it's nice ter be Americans
But one things doggone plain,
A mans man an not dog,
An it's hell ter live in Maine!
Ov course if you're a sellin' rum
You'll sing different tune;
it's mark of estimation here
To run good saloon.
Or if you want ter buy farm
An raise few petaters

Ov our profound legislators.
An if you want ter drive yer car
A mile or SO minnit,
An kill q kid or two, of course
You're well inside tn limit.
Yes! Names all right fer all them thing
They pr osper here an thrive;
But fisherman! What right has he
To keep hisself alive?
None! Give tn cusses numbers,
An dog-collars ter wear,
An make 'em wear State uniforms
An make 'em clip their hair.
An license them, the same as dogs,
To fish tn Maine-owned sea!
An make 'em-like suspected thieves
Give bonds to be let free.
Oh, it's nice ter be Americans,
An hope don't give pain
To our modern Aristotles-3
But it's hell t live in Maine.
(Unless-oh, here's hope!-you can
Avoid becoming fisherman.)
