business Of Damariscotta Mills, Maine,

occurred several times In the past.
Always, however, 1t comes back, and
IN the end there Is no loss.
1t cannot be otherwise. The little
Maine hamlet is indispensable to Haiti,
while the black republic is valuable
asset to the village.
One of Haiti's stable articles of food
is supplied from the Maine town. 1t il

to the shad family, In that 1t consists
of many bones surrounded by very
white and decidedly sweet flesh. Ma

In fact, they are about the only peo-
pie in the world who consider sailed
alewife an epicurean delight. Less than
fifty barrels are sold anywhere else on
the American continent, while Haiti
takes between $500 and 5000 an
nually.
The alewife fishing season is in May
At that time the fish come into fresh
water rivers and lakes to spawn. Da-
mariscotta Mills, which are at the out
let of large lake, are favorite spawn
ing point of the fish.
They are on their way into the lake.
Traps are arranged, and all fish which

posting them into a boxlike bin, from
which they are shoveled into sluice.
This sluice leads down to the sailing

NY Associated Pres..D

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Incom-
plete canvasses of the vote in sew
eral close congressional districts
make no changes in the unofficial
election results which Indicate that
217 Republicans, ZIP Democrats and
six other parties have been elected
to the 65th congress. Representative
Doremus, chairman of the Democratic
national committee, still claims, how
ever, that Democrats will make
gains on the final returns in six or
seven OF the close. districts which
apparently have elected Republicans
by small majorities.
Representative Woods chairman of
the Republican committee, insisted
that the Republicans undoubtedly will
control the organization OF the house.
A speaker TO be elected must receive
a majority Of the house, or 21s votes.
Although the unofficial returns show
the Republicans to be one short of
majority they are counting on the
Progressive elected in Minnesota, the
Progressiye-Republican in Louisiana
and the Independent in Michigan, to
vote with them for James II. Mann
for speaker.
Prospects OF Republican gain
were apparent in the 32nd Pennsyl-
yania district, where the canvass of
all Republican precincts shows Rep

Campbell, his Democratic opponent.
by IL votes. On the unofficial re-
turns Campbell led Barchfeld by 10
votes. County precincts still are to
be canvassed.
