The I'd Maine Infantry will conclude
its long Journey from the Texas bor-
der with it's arrival this afternoon at
Augusta The exact time of it's arrival
is at present uncertain. but it is COM
ing and the boys will be given greet
ing that is worthy of the towns and
cities which they represent. for their
relatives and friends have been notl-
fed of their coming and it is expected
that big crowd of people will be on
hand to welcome them as the troop
trains on which they have made the
journey reach the city.
1t had been e>oected that the troops
would reach Augusta sometime Thurs
day, but owing to delays along the route
this was impossible. Definite informa-
ton. however. was received yesterday
that the boys would surely be here to-
day. The latest information received
Thursday afternoon was that the troop
trains, three in number, left Buffalo,
n. Y, al 11.31 Thursday morning and
would arrive Al Portland between and
o'clock this morning, where the reg
iment will be reviewed and then given
an informal reception and lunch. 1t is
expected that the stay in Portland will
not exceed three or four hours.
Regarding the journey to Augusta it
is expected that the trains will reach
Augusta at about 8 o'clock in the aft
ernoon though it is not unlikely that the
hour of arrival may be later, but ample
notice will be given of the regiments
coming as eight blasts will be sounded
on the fire whistle one hour before the
time for the trains to arrive.
1t Is the desire Of Mayor viles that
the boys be given a hearty welcome and
1t is his request that everyone who can
be at the Maine Central station when the
trains arrive. The city has secured a
large number of small flags for the pun
pose and these will be distributed at the
station. 1t is also requested that citizens
display the American flag at their resi-
dences and places of business
There is every reason to believe that
the crowd which greets the soldiers will
be one of the largest that has vet as
sembled in the city, as President Wyman
of the Augusta Board of Trade has mott
fled the citizens of the cities and towns
which are represented by companies in
the regiments that the boys are coming
today, and there will be a general exodus
to Augusta from those places to see them
The Augusta Cadet Band, Frank A.
Dennis leader. will be at the railroad sta
ton to furnish music for the occasion

At the chapel exercises THURSDAY
morning there was a most unusual ana
interesting occurrence. Rev. MT.
Hinckley recited to Mrs. Sarah Brown
Fowler of Guilford, Conn.,, grammar
lesson on the definitive adjective
which he learned under her teaching
about 4S years ago. BY way of ex-
Harmed that Mr..
Hinckley did not, when studying that
particular part of his lesson. grasp the
thought as quickly as usual, and SO ne
had to put an extra amount OF STUDY
into it. The rather unique part OF tne
demonstration was that Rev. MT
Hinckley had not referred to the les
son since he learned 1t 4S years ago.
Mrs. Ralph Brown Fowler was MT.
Hinckley's teacher of arithmetic ano
grammar. Following the lesson the
Good Will boys, without Rev. Mr..
Hinckley's previous knowledge. rose
and gave a locomotive" cheer Tor
Mrs. Fowler. The boys and girls
marched to chapel and were seated by
classes. Seated on the platform were
Mr.. Sprague. Mrs. Fowler and her
companion, Mrs. Brown, Dean cooper
of Colby College, L. L. Walton OF
Skowhegan, a director of the Good
Will school, and the Rev. Mr.. Hinck-
ley. On Thursday evening a reception
was rendered the guests of honor and
the hall was specially decorated for
| the occasion. All in all, the day was a
perfectly delightful one for all partici-
pants, and one that will stand out in
the history of Good Will.

work of considerable magnitude. Not
only must each one of the $50 cities,
towns and plantations of the State be
gone over separately but it also in
wolves the examination and digestion
of a mass of data sent in by the local
assessors. This data is also compared
with information in the hands of the
State Board of Assessors and also con-
sidered in the light of anticipation OF
the valuation for the coming year, for
the State assessors are required TO
make up their valuation for two-year
period, while the local assessors make
their valuation each year.
The making up of the State valuation
also involves the making up of the val
uation of some 400 wild land town
ships, which is done directly from data
obtained by the assessors department.
This feature of the work While 1t IN
creases in volume each year becomes
easier in other ways as the data is bet
ter systematized each year and the
wild land owners show more willing
ness each year to cooperate with the
State board in the making up of this
valuation.
Relations are also growing more
sympathetic between the local boards
of assessors and the State assessors
remarked Chairman McIntire in dis
cussing the features of the work. I'VE
have endeavored to impress upon the
local assessors our desire to be close to
them and that the work which we are
doing is part of one great system and
done for the best good of the munich
palities.
I'VE urge the local assessors to visit
us at our offices at the State House." he
continued. "One man visited the 9TH
err day connected with local board OF
assessors who said that this was his
first visit to the State House. He was
surprised to learn of the scope OF the
work done by the board and of the vast
amount of information stored away IN
these Offices"
