THURSDAY HOT BUT NOT
so BAD AS WEDNESDAY

Augusta was still in the grip of the
ran nearly as high as it did Wednes-
day, but the heat was not so unbear-
able as it was on the preceding day.
At o'clock Thursday morning the
thermometers along Water street indi-
Gated from 80 to IS degrees, the lat
ter figures being shown by the Their
mometer at the Bither pharmacy, and
noon the above thermometer indicated
a6 degrees although it could hardly be
called "in the shade" at that hour AZ
ter noon the mercury began to drop
and at o'clock it registered 81 de-
grees. The day was hot all right, but
there was less humidity in the atmo-
sphere than on Wednesday, and the
went far toward making the day lit
tie more comfortable than was We'd
neSday.
The heat of the day was still further
tempered by a thunder shower which
came along at 5.45 in the afternoon
and which for about Is minutes gave
everything a drenching.
That Thursday was one of the hot :
test days at the National Home at To-
gus for long while was evidenced by
telephone message received in the
! afternoon from headquarters, which
stated that the official thermometer at
Ito P. NJ. registered SO degrees in the

TITLES OF LAND
IN P|SCATAQU|S Co.
ONCE IN kENNEBEC
Are Being Transferred to the
Piscataquis Registry of Deeds
by Edgar C. Smith, Foxcroft

Edgar C. Smith, an attorney at Fox
croft, is passing two weeks In the city
where he is engaged copying the rec
ords at the Kennebec registry Of deeds
that relate to lands now in the limits
Of Piscataauis county but formerly in
Kennebec county Mr.. Smith is en-
ployed by the county commissioners or
Piscatauis county to do this work III
accordance with Chapter Of the Spe-
cial laws of 1913, which authorizes the
transfer to the Piscataquis registry OF
deeds Of all records that relate to lands
now within the limits Of that county
from the counties Of Kennebec, Han
cock, Somerset and Penobscot.
This work has taken practically all
Of Mr.. Smiths time for the past two
wears but it is gradually coming to an
end and he stated Thursday that he
expects to finish it in two weeks. he
saws that the work has been very In
teresting although there are many
parts of it which have been difficult
For instance, he has encountered diff
culties in locating some OF the lands
because Of the fact that many of the
towns did not have the same names
then as now The town Of Arson then
bore the name Of Brookfield, Harmony
bore the name of Vaughanstown, Atm
ems was named kinsmanstown, and
these are but few examples.
The towns which Mr.. Smith Is WORK.
ing upon are practically the two west
ern tiers of towns in Piscataquis coun
ty. The entire State of Maine was at
first comprised in York county In
1850 the counties of Cumberland and
Lincoln were established and in 1889
Hancock and Washington counties
were established. Each of these coun-
ties extended from the seacoast to the
northern border Of the State. Kennebec
county was established in 1899. In 1888
Piscataquis county was established,
made up Of land Of Penobscot and Som
erset counties, Somerset county having
previously been set off from Kennebec.
Mr. Smith is we'll qualified to do this
work not only because he is lawyer
but also because for the last 20 years
he has made a special study Of and has
written upon Maine history. Among
his works is 1.-THE Life Of Moses Green
leaf, Names First Mapmaker."
