iMR. TRACEY TELLS
LAND AGENT
THERE IS A DEED

Mr.. m B. Tracey Of Auburn, who has
appeared before the Legislature on one
or moro occasions to offer evidence that
tho islands and waters of Maine belong
to the people. has written a letter TAX
ing exceptions to a recent newspaper
article. Mr.. Tracey writes:
saw an article in your valuable paper
some time ago, stating that the State
land agent had refused to sell any more
OF our islands as the Legislature of 1913
had passed resolve not to dispose of
any more Of the islands as there were no
records as to the States ownership and
no record Of any deed having been given
and the agent had grave doubts as to
the States ever having any right to sell
them and that no one had any valid deed
OF the land.
Now. l wish to call the attention Of
our land agents to perpetual warranty
deed given by King William and Mary at
Westminster the seventh day of October.
1851, In this deed which gives to our good
subjects the Inhabitants Of the province
Of Massachusetts bay In New England.
and islets lying within 10 leagues directly
opposite to the main land within the said
bounds and also the northern half Of
the isle Of Shoals. We give. bargain and
tants of the said province of Masachu-
sets bay in New England for their only
use and behoof and their successors, for
evermore. And beholden Of us and our
heirs and successors in free and COM
mon socolage.
BY this deed you will see that all the
islands as we'll as all the waters and
rivers are the property Of the people,
who are the inhabitants and cannot be
disposed Of even by the people them
selves as the coming Inhabitants have as
much claim on them as the present in
habitants do. They can only be rented
Tor a fee for the benefit Of all the people.
ISigneO N. B. TRACEY.

doing research work here at times
since 1918 in the court house, has just
completed his work. During the time
he has also been at work in the Ellis
worth and Bangor court houses. Up
% 1888 a part Of what is now Piscata-
quis county was Somerset county. the
two western tiers Of towns being
transferred to Piscataquis at that
time. Mr.. Smith has been engaged in
transferring the registry deeds Of the
lands that were originally in this
county but are now across the county
in Piscataquis.
A curious old map Of the United
States drawn in 1924 by Elizabeth Gil
man Of Waterville, now the property
of Mrs. c. Reddington Of this town,
has caused considerable comment on
the changes of territory. A large part
west Of the Mississippi Is marked
Louisiana. There is a slave record
showing the number held in each
state. Virginia had the largest num-
her, 425, while Maine. Massachusetts,,
Vermont, New Hampshire and Ohio
had none. Portland at the time had a
population Of $500 and the chart gave
the Kennebec river only AZ miles in
length.
The fire alarm was rung in at about
8 o'clock Thursday morning by Fred
Emery for fire in the stable Of the
Tuttle property on Madison avenue
where Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Cullen
have been residing for some time. The
stable was all afire when discovered,
Mrs. Cullen being awakaned by the
smoke at about the same time that
the Emerys discovered the fire. Mrs
Cullen does not know how the first
caught, though it evidently started in
the basement of the stable. She keeps
her ashes in a covered receptacle and
there were no electric light wires
near The interior Of the barn was
| completely destroyed and part of the
ell and the whole house very badly
smoked up. The property which be-
| longed to the Chandler Tuttle estate
was insured. Mr.. Cullen was away a.
the time but Mrs. Cullen's brother,
Leland Currier. was staying with her.
Mrs. Cullen was planning soon to
move to the rent in the Smith Nut
ting house on Winter street, her lease
IN the Tuttle house expiring in Sep
tember The fire company did very
we'll to conf1ne the fire to the barn as
that neighborhood is we'll filled in
with houses. The fire was partly con-
fined by the. iron roofing on the barn,
most Of which was torn off in fight
ing the fire which was put out by 6
O'clock.
Considerable work is now being
done on Madison avenue. in filling up
the worn-out places in the street,
this being done with crushed rock and
tar under the direction Of Road Com
missioner Sanborn. Dyer hill has been
completed and section below this is
now being worked on.

farmers UNION OF MAINE

There is no material change in the
potato market from last week. Jer-
seys and being offered in small way
for $50 cents the bIshel. but on ac-
count of extremely hot weather con-
ditions the trade is buying sparingly
and bids are being submitted below
this figure.
Virginia bulk is offered at IS cents
and best barrels, stock for $1.00 to
$500 The Boston market for best
Eastern Shores is $2.50-$2.75. Quite
a large number of the potatoes in the
barrels show sun scald and are being
sold below these figures. The gen.
eral impression is that prices will
rule lower and predict a so cent mar
ket in few days. The fact that the
buyer is holding off in anticipation Of
lower prices will no doubt bring it
about.
Last week the Farmers Union re
ceived word from the Treasury De-
partment that the Union would not be
taxed under the federal income tax.
AS before stated the Treasury De-
partment imposed an import duty Of
the shipments Of lime from Canada.
This the Union believed was not the
intention Of the law and protest was
entered through the M. c. railroad
with the following result:
The testimony shows that the
commodity in question was ground to
q fine powder and was used for the
sole purpose Of fertilizing tho soil.
The protests are therefore sustained
and the collector directed to liquidate
the entries admitting the merchandise
Tree OF duty under paragraph 400.
The assessing Of this duty imposed a
tax upon the buyers Of lime through
the Union to the amount Of over S40O
