State Lands and Forest Preservation

Senator Amcs of Washington pre-
sided at the hearing before the COM
mittce Oh State lands and forest pres
crvation on the resolve ir favor Of
cooperative survey OF the boundary
lire between the State of Maine and
the State of New Hampshire The act
provides that the governor be author
lZed to appoint a surveyor on the part
of this State, who together with a
Surveyor appointed by the governor of
New Hampshire, ascertain. survey and
mark the dividing line between the two
states and that the sum of $4,000 be ap-
propriatcd by this State if a like sum
Hampshire for the completion of the
work.
Senator Hastings of Androscoggin,
father of the resolve, appeared before
the committee and said because he
represented the resolve and was a
member of the committee also, he did
not wish to remain in the room during
the executive session, that he appear
ed for the resolve and not as COM
mittecman.
Senator Hastings told the story of
the boundary line of Maine, giving in
his statements of facts the carly his
tory OF the two states briefly. The first
line was run in many years prior to
a re-survey in 1874. He said Sir Ferdi-
nand Gorges was granted by the King
of England this portion now called
Maine and Capt. John Mason that por-
tion named New Hampshire and that
from that time up to now there has al
WAYS been disputes between the states
and the border towns.
There had been many suits of law
because. there was no permanent
boundary and no Typographical map OF
Maine and nothing definite but some
b,azed trees or stone markers to SNOW
where the original boundary was II 1t
had ever been marked. The re-survey
made in 1874 did not do the work re-
oujred of it, that the work was super
fetal. At that time there were few pup
mills along the Androscoggin river but
for the last 25 years the wood had
required constant cutting along the
border towns and that in many IN
stances Mnscrupulous people had even
cut down good looking tree "hlch
happened at times to mark the pound
arv. thereby losing that part OF the
boundary again. The boundary hne mas
thus been practically destroyed. Inc
Grant made by the king started at the
mouth of the Piscataquis harbor'
through salmon Falls for 1ao miles
and south through the Isle
of Shoales. When Maine became
state the line was obliterated. both
states made a survey. one was made
in 1928. another in 1853 but the line
was never run end for end and as
result there have been many disputes
and much trouble. There mas never
been since the two coiniiioiiWeei.no
were states, town or county corners
marked by monuments and made per
manent.
Rep. Aaron Cole of Eliot spoke
briefly in favor of the survey. he saio
sometime Kittery would nave u nav

made it would overcome some difficui-
ties regarding the cost Of the bridge

COUPLE. OF BURGLARS
HUSTLED TO BAsIMt
Two of the Thieves Who Entered
Eder Store Taken To
Prison
rom Mondays Daily.

Sheriff George N. Freer and Deputy
William Elder of Blue Earth passed
through Mankato- at 1875 this morn
ing on the Omaha train on their way
to Saltwater. taking to the state
prison two of the three crooks, who
attempted to rob the general store
of Henry C. Elder at Blue Earth last
Sunday morning, shortly after mid
night.
The two prisoners, Charles Adams
and James M. Murphy, were hand
cuffed together. and We're seated side
by side, facing the officers. Both
prisoners were husky looking fellows.
Mr.. Elder stated that Joe Costello,
the one who received the contents of
a shot gun in the back, was doing very
well, and would soon be in condition
to be brought before the court. Some
of the shots reached the lungs and
kidneys, but the prisoner, it seems,
was not seriously injured. -
