1t is pleasing to the friends of the End
Maine Infantry to know that Capt. Geo.
B. Foster, L. S. A., the medical inspecting
officer from Fort Banks, Boston harber,
who was responsible for the examination
and the physical condition Of every man
who went SOUTH says that it is one of
the finest regiments he ever inspected. as
we'll as being equipped to the very equal
of the regular army troops.
Much interest is being taken in the
young member of the Maine National
Guard Victor VIM. Hesp of kennebunk,
18th Co, C. A. c., who has just been
notified of his appointment to West Point,
through the recent competitive examina-
ton. He came from England with his
father about two years ago to kennebunk
and has been employed there in a leather
old factory. He was without education
to speak of, but very ambitious, and be-
gan a course in a correspondence school,
Completing that, he last fall entered as
a senior the Kennebunk High school and
graduated this spring, having an average
rank of 95. He is about 10 years of age
and has been in the National Guard for
about a year IF he can hold the pace he
has cut out for himself and has held to
date a brilliant career is predicted for
him.

National Guard

Governor Oakley c. Curtis, who was
a; the state House or Wednesday, was
very forceful in his denunciation of
the reports that have come to him that
the soldiers remaining at Camp Keyes.
the rendezvous of the Second Maine
Regiment Infantry, were poorly fed,
poorly clothed and that there was
shortage of blankets at the camp
ground.
"While | was confident that this was
purely political folderol," said Cover
nor Curtis, Il made an investigation
this morning and was assured by Ad-
jUtant General George Mel. Presson
and Capt. B. W. Niles, the regular
army officer detailed here, that there
vas absolutely no truth in the reports
which have been put in circulation.
There is plenty Of food, plenty Of
blankets and plenty Of everything. My
only regret is that probably many
mothers and sisters Of our boys have
been unnecessarily annoyed and griev-
ed by these mean, contemplate politi-
cal misrepresentation, and wish to
say to the parents and friends of the
boys that so far as the State has the
power. the comfort of our soldier boys
will be cared for at any expense"

HEATED SESSION
OVERCOFF|N CLAIM
HELD BY BOARD
Governor and Former As
sistant Attorney General
Engaged in Lively Discus
sion-Reach Agreement.

The state land board INDUCED in one
the claims of T. c. Coffin, former as
sistant attorney general, for fees claim
ed in handling foreclosure cases for the
state. Governor Alexander and Coffin
INDUCED in some very plain talk, in
which the states chief executive told
Coffin he was tired of his attitude be-
fore the board. which he said was Of
fensive and audacious, and that he did
not propose to stand for it any longer.
The net result of the conference was
that Coffin agreed to accept three
months salary at rate of $3.50 per
month, or a total of $3.50 for handling
the foreclosure cases as an employee of
the attorney generals department. He
had claimed a 10 per cent fee as the
basis for settlement on the loan cases
handled and as these loans ran into
thousands of dollars on that basis his
fees would have been in the thousands.
DENIf.. Is MADE.
The bitterness before the board arose
over the claim of Coffin that he had
been employed by the land board to
handle the foreclosure cases and not
by the attorney general. His claim for
legal services rendered as under the
employment of the land board was
therefore turned down. Governor Alex
anderflatly denied that the board had
ever employed Coffin, and told him so.
Later In the conversation 1t was admit
ted by othe- members of the board that
it had never employed him. The attor-
ney general submitted a statement for
$3.50 as due Coffin for his services in
handling the cases as an employee of
the states legal department After a
long argument on thu employment of
Coffin, the latter said he would accept
the payment Of the money under GER
tain conditions. The governor told him
there would be no conditions; that he
could either accept or refuse the $3.50
for legal services rendered as an en-
ploye of the attorney generals depart
ment. The states chief executive also
informed Coffin that he would never
sign a warrant to pay him as an en-
ploye Of the land board unless a court
order directed him so to do. The gov
ernor voted against payment of the
claim. Coffin was also told by the gov
ernor that, judging from his attitude,
it was he that who chief executive of
the state and not the governor.
The Coffin claims have been a bone
of contention for some months. The
dand board authorized the attorney
general to bring foreclosure suits
against large number of delinquent
borrowers of state funds. Coffin was
employed to handle the cases and did
So Later he wet before the land board
and asked payment for separate fees
for his legal services. The board turned

heated sessions OF the board when
these claims were discussed On the

Indian woman, for example. who was
the widow of an Indian shot down in
the manner of Alessandro of the now
ell, and her name was Ramona. But
her characteristics were not those of
Ramona of the novel; There was also
white woman named Ramona whom
Mrs. Jackson knew and she suggested
the Mrs. Hartsel of the novel, but she,
also. must surrender all claims to
having suggested the half breed hero
inc Of the Mission romance.
Recent investigation seems to point
strongly to two girls, one a Spaniard
and the other a half breed Indian, as
having each furnished characteristics
for the picture of Ramona. The Span
ish girl was Blanca Yndart and the
Indian was Guadalupe of the Piru
tribe. Both were wards of the Sonora
del Vale, mistress of Camulos ranch,
which has been unquestionably iden-
titled as the home of Ramona. Both
were mere children in Mrs. Jackson's
time. Later they married. and were
still alive in 1912. when Carlyle Chan
ming Davis and William A. Anderson,
two enthusiastic students Of Ramona,
investigated their history. These men,
both prominent in literary fields. have
published their conclusions in a book
called, THE True Story of Ramona"
