all persons who are entitled to a copv

1t is volume of 4S1 pages, bound in
the usual style and the content are
perhaps best described by the intro
ductory note by James Phinney Bax-
ter, which says
In my studies of the early history
of Maine. 1t became evident to me that
documentary volume devoted to the
native tribes of Maine, with whom the
European settlers so often came in
conflict, would be of use to students of
history. In previous volumes l have
published from time to time such doc
uments relating to this subject as my
former employee, Mr.. David Pulsifer,
transcribed for me. After his death I
could not procure satisfactory per-
son to take his place until the Rev.
Henry o. Thayer, who knew of the diff
ficulty which I was experiencing, kind
ly offered to Transcript the Indian doc
uments for me. This volume contains
a part of Mr.. Thayer's painstaking
work. and the next volume will com
plete it."

the Bureau of Inspection. Department
of Agriculture, owing to the superior
quality of the goods, due largely to the
efficiency system of inspection en-
forced by the Maine authorities. sup
plemented by the inspection of the Ma.
tional Gamers Association.
The "red feed" little fish loved by
the herring. but objected to by the
pure food people as an accompanying
article in canned sardines, has been
carefully guarded against and the re-
suit has been q great improvement In
the quality. About 900 hogsheads of
herring, worth on an average about SIS
per hogshead, have been condemned
this fall. representing loss of about
$4,000 to the factories. boatmen and
weir owners. 1t also reduced the output
about $4,000 cases of 100 cans each,
and shut off estimated profits OF about
$1,000. The total pack is estimated at
about 100000 cases, or a shortage of
about As per cent.
! The Bureau of Inspection, on the 9TH
er hand. is pleased to learn that the
season will be a prosperous one for the
Gamers, owing to the high prices re-
4 ceived for the goods. The European
war mas caused a great shortage OF the
product and the American Gamers
have had to fill in the gap left by the
French, Norwegian and other foreign
packers. All of our pack Is selling at
good prices. the best for years. Last
weeks quotations included:
Keyless one-quarter oil sardines, 81
per case; pasteboard carton goods. 100
can cases, $3.50; mustard sardires. So
can cases, 1915.
1t will thus be seen that, with all the
shortage of the fish and other difficult
ties, losses, ETC., the Maine sardine
packer may well feel pleased with the
seasons work and in the end feel
thankful for the strict inspection rules
and regulations imposed upon them by
the Maine Bureau of Inspection, sup
plemented by the fine work of the Ma
