Plodder Reaches Goal.

With the plodder you can reap in. tense satisfaction in self-conscious growth. This comes with achievement. When you get to the point that what once was hard is now easy you can know you have gained In power. And the best of it is that each tiny gain makes the next step so much easier. When you just plod on you are con- stantly adding to your doing power. Other people will notice it, but you will be the best judge. Then when good sense adds its judgment to abil- ity to do, tasks once hard are easy. When the world gets awake to that fact 1t will begin to praise what It once regarded as common stupidity It's certainly pleasure to see public opinion changing front and know that it's all merited It's part of the plod- der's reward.-Pennsylva Grit.

 OReilly was by this time suffering the full reaction from the events of the past half-hour and he was nearer exhaustion than he dreamed, but, con quering his repugnance for his unes- capable task, he lowered himself once more into the well. His arms were weak, however, and his fingers numb, so he fell rather than slid the length of the rope. He managed to open the door of the treasure chamber, then en- tered and loaded his pockets with gold. He sent up the jewel box at the end of the rope, dragged the body of Coho into the cave, then wedged the barricade back into place. It required the com bined strength of Rosa and Jacket to help him the last few feet of his climb.
 'Now fetch stones, rubbish, anything and throw it in there" he gasped.
 The boy and the girl fell to with a will, and after time Johnnie joined them. Slowly, laberiously. the three of them carried debris from the edge of the quarry and bricks from the ruined house; they scraped up armfuls of leaves and trash-anything, in fact, which would serve to raise the bottom of the shaft and conceal the entrance to their enemy's resting place. It was slavish work, but O'Reilly kept them 1t 1t until they were ready to drop. Daylight overlook them at their task.

Nor were they greatly concerned about the safety of the treasure they had left behind. for the entrance to the cavern lay deeply buried, and Cobo, the guerrilla, stood guard over the chests of plate and the casks of coin.

These expensive and noteworthy
improvements have not only benefit
ed the powers used by the Great
Northern Paper Company but have
largely increased the usefulness and
value of every power on the Penob'
scot River south of Millinocket, and
sales OF powers, since this develop
ment, have been made at greatly en-
HANGED values. The broad and lib
eral policy of this great Company is
shown from the fact that no other
power on the river was asked to
contribute one dollar for an improve
ment of great benefit to them, the en-
tire cost being borne by the West
Branch Driving and Reservoir Dam
Company, that is, the Great Northern
Paper Company.
Other dams whereby log driving
has been facilitated have been erect
ed and more than one hundred miles
of first class highway constructed
which are free to the use of the pub
lie. One of the roads runs from Lilly
Bay on the eastern shore of Moose
head Lake by way of Grant Farm to
RipogenuS Dam, a distance of thirty
two miles, another is a road from
lockwood (Kineo Station) to Pitts
ton and North Branch, distance of
thirtyseven miles and also road
from North West Carry to Loon Lake
and then to Pittston, distance Of Al
miles. So well built are these high
ways that the heaviest trucks are
used upon them without detriment to
the graded surface. To supply the
mills at Millinocket and East Mill
nocket with the needed wood for
which nearly 700 tons of paper are
daily produced. 5000 men and 1,4OO
horses are employed in the woods. To
pay the wages and feed this small
army of men and this regiment of
horses costs $4,OO0,OOO a year. .
The combined yearly expendi-
lures for pay roll and operating
expenses of the Great Northern
Paper organization reach the large
sum of six million dollars. We
can hardly estimate how far
reaching are the benefits to the peo-
pie of Maine by the expenditures of
this large sum of money, but the rail
roads which transport men and ma
terials, the merchants who furnish
the varied equipment and food sup
produce, will join in acknowledging
the Importance of this development
to them.

While this development at Madison
ia of great Importance TO the town
of Madison, the development at MIL
linocket overshadows it to such de-
gree that it is almost forgotten when
speaking of the mills of the Great
Northern Paper Company. The de-
yelopment at Millinocket began IN
the spring of 1899 At that time it
was wilderness. To convert Will
derness into thriving community OF
5000 people with all the modern CON
veniences of good streets, substantial
business blocks, banks, schools,
churches, water and sewer systems
and a fire department, is a work Oh
no small Importance and magnitude
and this was done at Millinocket by
the Great Northern Paper Company,
thereby adding to the taxable prop
srty and to the general prosperity OF
the State.
At East Millinocket some ten miles
from Millinocket, the same KIND OF
enterprise has been shown and here
a prosperous village of $500 inhabl-
tants has been created having all the
advantages of a modern and settled
community. Here also has new
wealth been created and new homes
secured to the State Of Maine. In
these two newly planted towns, with
a combined population approaching
10000 there is paid in wages by the
Great Northern Paper Company. the
very comfortable sum Of about
sl,5OO,O0O every year. Not only does
this Company pay wages to its en-
ployees but 1t has given to the town
the lands for all public buildings,
churches, ETC., and it contributes
about two-thirds of the annual tax OF
more than 100000. AS an indication
of the growth of the manufacture OF
paper at Millinocket and East Mill
nocket, it may be stated that at the
outset the daily production of these
mills was 200 tons Of paper, while to-
day it is 67O tons and to produce this
very large amount it requires the SER
vices of 400 employees in and about
the mills. AS a result OF this devel-
