Two Thousand Acres
Brush Burned Over

West Liberty. Me, May lone of
the worst forest fires ever seen in
this section was Friday afternoon,
April 26. when Black Mountain
burned over. 1t took a mill crew
three years to cut the lumber and
the underbrush was very dry. so
gained headway fast until a half
mile was one sheet of flame. 1t
burned over 1000 acres but did no
damage as it only burned where
the brush was. Saturday the vino
caused it to go around on the easI

it got into about five acres Of brush
and caused another large fire. a.

returned to Bath, to whose fame he
has added materially with his Palmer

after falling to obtain an interview
in Washington with any one in au-

wooden hulls as they ought to be
constructed. According to Mr.. Palmer
a wooden vessel properly constructed
and as built along the Maine seacoast
will stand up with any steel vessel
ever built. AS evidence of this he
points to the 20-odd wooden sailing

Water Powers
In Maine

The Idea that our homes NAV
be heated by electrical energy !,
very appealing. especially when
there is a shortage Of coal
There seems to be a sort Of nso.
In tho phrase "white coal" r,I
see water running down hill antI
imagine that it means chea,
heat Is a very attractive id.,
especially in cold weather. er
what arc the facts?
II is mathematical and se;.
entifie truth that there are abon.
three times as many avai,abL.
heat units in pound Of coal ;.
thera are in one kilowatt Of sl.c.
trieity. A pound Of good co..,
contains about $4,000 British
Thermal Units Of heat and when
it is burned for heating Dur.
poses about 10000 heat units Ar.
available. In a kilowatt Of elee.
tricity there are 3,415 heat unit,
Therefore it requires about thr..
kiiowatts of electricity to pro.
duee as much heat as one pound
Of coal will produce.
On this basis a person usino
ten tons or 10000 lbs. of coal il
heating a house during the win.
ter months will consume abou,
three times 20 900 lbs. or 6o,on
kiIowatt hours. $4,000 kiIowau
hours multiplied by the price per
kilowatt hour, say three cents,
two cents or even one cent psr
kilowatt hour will give a cost Of
heating the Same by electricity
varying from $1,000, $1,000 10
5000 per year. This fact ha,
been proven by actual tests Of
heating houses in Canada unde,
comparative weather conditions.
II is also demonstrated by &C.
tual tests that it requires at Ieas,
18 horse power to furnish hea.
enough to warm dwelling Of six
rooms. There are probably 16o,.
600 dwellings in Maine, averaging
six rooms each, and is all the un.

Noted Surgeon Back From
Front on Secret Mission

Baltimore, July 29.-Colonel j. NJ.
T. Finney, the famous Johns Hop
kins surgeon who is chief consulting
surgeon of the American Expedition
airy Forces, returned home yesterday
on a secret mission which will carry
him to Washington.
Just now he said, things are
very satisfactory in France. There
never was any reason to doubt the
outcome of the war, but we must not
expect too much. There is lots of
hard fighting ahead, and we must
prove equal to 1t. There is not an
idea of defeat. All are confident of
ultimate victory. 1t is the spirit of
the Americans and. in fact. all of the
allied nations that is counting now
against the Huns. Allied morale,
stimulated by the events at the
Marine, was never better, and 1t
will be lasting. now that American
enthusiasm has become a contagion.
Economic conditions in France
are good. There are no signs any
where of malnutrition. The spirit of
the French people is excellent, the
general morale especially"
Asked concerning the proportion
ate casualties among the American
forces. DIR. Finney said that they
were about the average.
"As far as hospital conditions are
concerned, the wounded men of the
American Expeditionary Forces are
receiving just as good care as would
be possible at home he said.

the Newport Citizens Band.
Hundreds of citizens from the town

Band will be there throughout the

outing Club will turn out en- masse,
and many townspeople will be there.
Arrangements are being made
largely by John S, Eby, Perry county
representative in the last two Legis-
latures. and president of the two
organizations which are working to
make the event a success, the New
port Outing Club and the Newport
Citizens Band.

Annually the Newport outing Club
mas been having an outing at more
distant points This year, however,
as war measure and as a measure
to intensity community spirit, the
club proposed the plan of having the
AFFAIR at Harrisburg where practically
the whole town could attend. The date
was selected after Commissioner OF
Parks Gross. of Harrisburg, had set
the date for free concert to be
given by the Newport Citizens Band
at Harrisburg.
When it was doubtful If free con-
certs would be given at Harrisburg
early this year because of financial
shortages. the Newport Band, through
the agency of President Eby. offered
its services for a free concert.
This band, composed of thirty live
members. most of them under twenty
one years of age, was only organized
about January 1 when many of them
could not play a note. Under the ef-
ficient leadership of Harry w.
Rough. Jr., who will be in charge of
Thursday evenings concert. the band
has developed into a musical organ
ization that reflects credit upon the
town. The band gave a concert at the
big Red Cross carnival at Landisburg
