Uncle Sam Pays
Maine 100000 for
Its Coast Patrol

All of the force in the Executive
Chambers with the exception of Gov
ernor Milliken, uttered a gasp the other
day when an official and bullying en-
velope was opened and checks to the
value Of nearly 100000 dropped out.
AS for His EXcellency-well he
looked at the pieces of paper carefully,
saw that they were made out in his
name, Carl f. Milliken." calmly en-
dorsed them to the Office Of the State
treasurer Thus. with little more than
a smile, Governor Milliken completed
one of the biggest and most important
transactions of his administration.
For be it understood, these checks
for nearly 100000. came from the
United States navy department and
they were re-imbursing the State of
Maine. through it's Chief Executive, for
certain number of boats that have
been very quietly purchased to form a
portion of the coast patrol
AS a matter of fact. few people, un-
less they happened to live on the sea-
shore have known anything about this
coast patrol. Away back in the last
days of the Legislature, the Executive
Council ordered 100000 to be spent out
of the Million Dollar war fund for the
nucleus of a State navy. Then about
everybody. except Governor Milliken
and few others, proceeded to forget
all about it.
His Excellency proceeded to get busy.
The State had authorized the expendi-
ture of 100000 and it hoped that the
federal government. after the boats
had been secured might reimburse
Maine.
Governor Milliken proceeded to con-
fer with yacht owners all along the
coast Not only did he purchase nearly
100000 worth Of high grade craft, but
he was presented with more than twice
that number of yachts from wealthy
residents of Maine and other states
who summer along shore and who. from
patriotic motives solely, offered their

PASSING OF OUR
ONLY HORSE R. R.

The filing by the stockholders of the
Fryeburg Horse Railroad of a petition
that the company may be permitted to
sell it's rails is the beginning of the pass
ing of the only horse railroad in Maine.
a road which was operated for nearly
quarter of a century. A hearing on the
petition will be held by the Public Utili-
ties Commission at Portland July 5.
The petition of Fred r. Fife, the clerk
of the company. states that 1.-The COM
pany has not operated its street railway.
having had special permission for such
Incorporation from the proper municipal
authorities; that there seems at present
no call for the service CT the street rail-
way and the corporation does not feel
justified in attempting to operate the
same; and that the result of such absence
of business and failure to operate has re-
suited in the possession by the corpora
ton of certain property which is produce
ing no revenue.
The petition further states that tho
company has had an offer for the pur-
chase of its rails and rolling stock.
This company was charted by Chapter
1913 of the Public Laws of 1887 to build a
railroad from the Maine Central Railroad
station at Fryeburg to the grounds Of the
Marthas Grove Methodist Campmeeting
Association with capital stock of $4,000.
The charter Of the company has been en-
larged four times in 1897, 1901. 1907 and
1909.
The line was built in 1889 and in 1918 the
company discontinued operation. At that
time the president of the company was
George E. Macomber of Augusta and the
secretary, treasurer and general manager
was Seth w. Fife of Fryeburg. At the
present time Fred r. Fife of Augusta is
the clerk of the corporation.
