Customs Office at Bar Harbor.

Representative Peters has introduced a
bill in Congress of considerable import
ance in connection with the business of
the customs in eastern Maine.
The treasury department has arranged
to transfer the customs port at Mount
Desert Ferry to Bar Hsr5or, and through
The collector of customs at Portland, and
q large number of representative business
men at Bar Harbor, has requested Mr..
Peters to initiate such legislative action
as will he necessary to make Bar Har Dor
port of immediate transportation.
This will give Bar Harbor the privileges
of the act OF June 10, 1880, governing i'm
mediate transportation of MERCHANDISE
without apprsisement and add Bar Hsr Dor
to the ports OF Portland, Bath. Bangor,
Calais and Eastport, which now enjoy such
advantages. The part OF the act of value
to Bar Harbor is the part allowing that
port to receive any merchandise in bond
that arrives at larger ports in both the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
Bar Harbor people frequently have
goods come in bond to Bangor, W ich is
the nearest immediate transportation
port at present. In such case the i'm
porter must either go to Bangor to clear
his shipment or must pay the expenses of
an examiner from Bar Harbor to Bangor
and return. rhe customs business at Bar
Harb Dor should develop to something like
that now existing at Newport.
There are two bonded carriers calling at
the port of Bar Harbor-the Maine Cen
tral railroad and the Eastern Steamship
lines. The American Express Co. is also a
bonded carrier, SO the port is well pro-
vided for in that respect.
Representative Peters expects to push
the bill through at the present session OF

FROM OVER THERE.
Ellsworth Boy Writes From the
Front Line Trenches.

Front Line Trenches.
John F. Bresnahsn, with the American
expeditionsry forces in France, is seeing
service in the front line breaches. In
letters to his uncles in Ellsworth he
writes:
II had great experience up in the
trenches, all right. The Americans are
raising hell with the Germans. We don't
give them a minutes peace. We were
in for about two months, and it was
nice and lively. We had one gas attack
that lasted twenty-four hour9, and i
had to go out after grub for the men. l
can't say what road went out to after the
rations, bat ii was once the worst-shelled
road in Europe. The gas shells we're
landing Just short way of. Believe me,
1 guess we were all saying our prayers,
il we never did before, bat we all came
out o. X. Had few injured and one
dead, but the fellow who died did not
get killed in the trenches. We can eat
shrapnel, but, on, that gas gets us.
Hs! Hal"
In letter few days later to bis mother
in Maiden, Mass, he writes:
"Our company Is now on another sector
after being two months in the trenches
on a French sector in a different part OF
the country. We expect to stay up here
about three months, so that We will have
about five months in the trenches.
guess the drive has started over in
Flanders, by all reports, and they are
knocking he'll out of the Hunsp BY
the time Lawrence gets over here, il he
does before the war is over, it will be
good and lively, all right"
His brother referred to, now corporal,
has recently been assigned to the aviation
school at Sackett's Haroor, n. Y, where
he is studying photographing while
flying. He was formerly with the Solst
field artillery at Camp Devens.

Sending the Seeds.

In theory the government seed business
is a fine thing. In practise it is ioke-s
pretty sad joke a: that, because it involves
somuch waste of public money and so much
Inconvenience and disappointment to
trusting citizens the country over. Some
times it is no joke for congressman. just
at present Mr.. Peters Of Maine, one of the
sblest members OF the New England dele
cation, is writing letters to the newspa-
himself with his constituents. In an IN
guarded moment, earlier in the spring, he
had advertised in the papers for the names
OF those who would like to have him get
them government seeds for war gardens.
The names poured in. He employed extra
help at his own expense to handle the
mail and to see that the department of
agriculture sent the seeds to the proper
addresses.
What happened? The seeds sent to
Maine in copioas quantities were those
suited ITO Texas and Florida - utterly
worthless in this latitude. Inquiry shows
that the northern seeds have gone South.
Therefore, Congressman Peters, his time
and money wasted, his good intentions
thwarted by bureaucratic stupidity, apollo
gizes to the people OF the third Maine dis
trict and pledges himself to the abolition
OF the free seed distribution, which he
says is "a nuisance and a detriment to
everybody concerned, besides being a
great waste of money" He has not made
an original discovery. In his resolu tion
he sets good exsmple-which will not be
followed.

The drive for the second Red Cross
war fund win be on next week. Han
cock county must contribute its part
of the 500, 900, 600 needed. 1t is no
longer necessary to tell the people
what the Red Gross is doing; the boys
at the front have told them that. The
appeal for funds must not be denied.
The duty is personal one for every
man and woman in Hancock county.

NEW REGISTRATION.
The registration of men who have
reached the age OF twenty-one since
June last, The last registration day,
will probably take place soon. The date
has not been fixed. The registration this
time will be in charge OF the local board,
which may appoint chief registrars In
various sections OF the county. The
board has already received the regulations
for the registration.
II is probable that registrars will be APP
pointed at Bucksport, Deer Isle and Mt.
Desert island, to receive registrations in
those and neighboring towns, but most OF
the registrsnts will be required to register
with the local board at Ellsworth.

Capt. Maynard A. Young of New York
spent a few days the past week with his
father, R. Fl. Young, of South Hancock,
putting most of the time fishing at Mo-
lasses pond with his father and brother
Galen. Thirteen salmon weighing from
three to seven pounds came to the net
for this trio of expert fishermen. Capt.
Maynard bagged a German Uboa. on
his last trip across, but says that landing
some of these Maine salmon gave him a
great deal more trouble.
