The Originator

At the time of the Rcd Cross drive
it was suggested that the State House
Associates give some sort OF a pat
riotic entertainment for the benefit
OF the Red Cross. The time was so
limited and the work so large that
it was suggested the matter be put
aside and that something be done
about it later. And this was the re-
suit. It might be we'll to state here
that the big idea" was the result of
the ever fertile brain OF Major Phil
brook, a born entertainer. He was
the starter of the Patriotic Festival
idea which grew and grew, like Mis-
ter Pheency's turnip, until as one
member of the force said, another

State House grounds ana then some"
One idea tackled onto another made
for the grand finale of it all and 1t
can certainly be called the biggest
thing in the social line to take place
in Maine efor some time. OF course,
being the first of it's kind it places a
mark for its class which will be hard
to surpass or even equal.

SHOCK IS TAKEN
 ACROSS SLOUGH
 AT TWEN1Y-M|LE
Live Stock Can Be Successfully Transported Across Lost Slough
 Now.

Superintendent of Transportation Reaburn was informed over the phone yesterday that the horses that had been marooned on an island near the old camping ground of Joe Pearson during the tenure of his contract with the Commission, had been safely taken across Lost Slough and housed in the barn at 2O-mile.
 It is now certain that the live stock that will be needed by the contractors who have big grading contracts out the line can be taken across the water and a movement of these men with their outfits and stock may be expected almost imme- diately.
 The news of the crossing of the stock was received late yesterday evening and the majority of the contractors who have been held up on this account were informed.
 Dave Patterson, George Palmer, and Tom Cox are already making arrangements to leave town for their camping grounds and they will be quickly followed by several others.
 Knute Hollands stock are now on the north bank of the Panama river, where they have been freighting for the party of land office men under Woodbury Abbey.
 Knute intends to get his horses across as soon a he can and hit the trail for his camp at the earliest possible moment.
 All of the contractors mentioned have grading contracts on sections of the road across the river and be- yond 43-mile camp, towards Lignite.

LITTLE FREIGHT
 IS SENT NOW ID
 DISTANT CAMPS
Communication May Soon Be Estab- lished and Freight Moved to
 Distant Camps.

Since the commencement of the
 floods and the consequent blockade
 of all roads and trails leading to
 the more remotely situated camps of the Alaskan Engineering com mission, very little freight has been moved, only such of the material and supplies as were very badly need ed being transported over with much difficulty and danger of loss. ] Stocks of supplies in the camps situated beyond Lost Slough are said to be somewhat low, and with the receding of the floods, it is expected that the officials of the Commission will soon take steps to resume the freighting of supplies to the distant camps and replenish the depleted stocks.
 Besides the Commission forces em- ployed at and near these camps, there are also many contractors who are obliged to draw their supplies from the Commission camps and stores and their requirements in the way of supplies have added to the inroads made on the stocks assembled prior to the coming of the water blockade
 The majority of the contractors are engaged in grading sections of the road within the limits of Resi- dency 4 (mile-373) across the river and beyond towards Lignite and good many of these men have estab- Eshed their camps and commenced operations.
 To meet just such a situation as has been caused by the floods, quite a large stock of material, supplies and provender for the use of the men and live stock had been sent to the store at mile 373 Gold 43- mile). This included large supply of fresh meat which is stored in specially constructed meat house, which was described in these columns some time ago. e.--+
 It is not known just when com munications will be established and the work of freighting material and supplies resumed.
 Reports received by Superintend- ent of Transportation Reaburn in- dicate that few head of horses were taken across the river at mile 373, but the message did not state the method employed for transport ing them, but it is presumed that they were made to swim over
 The river here is very swift, but not very deep, and none of the three boats in use for ferrying and trans porting supplies is sufficiently large for use in ferrying live stock.
 It is expected that all of the contractors now in town will soon be at their camping grounds to com mence operations and build the grade towards Lignite. -...

obligations to cover that balance. If the balance
is S. 900 600 the coming year. the United States
will purchase their obligations to that extent if
the amount of their balance is 100000 900, we
will be compelled to purchase that amount, for it
must be understood that the Allies have not the
gold with which to pay trade balances with US. The
gold does not exist in the world, and the only way
those balances can be adjusted is the way are

During the fiscal year just closed the United
States raised by taxation about Sc per cent of the
expenditures of the Government, including the
obligations purchased of foreign Governments, and
excluding such purchases there was raised by taxa

year we are just entering upon amount to about
$24 900 900 900 and that does not include contem-
plated loans to foreign Governments.
The expenses of the Government for the last
