National Guard .

Preparations are being made by the
Quartermasters Department for the
storage of a large amount of military
property that will soon be received
for the new organizations about to be
formed.
Major VIM. c. Goodwin of the
Quartermaste Corps is hauling with
several of the Highway Commissions
trucks a large amount of wood that
he bought two years ago in Unity.
II will be used for the officers schools
at Camp keyes, which will probably
be held early next year before going
to Camp Devens for the annual en-
campment
Major Goodwin is now having the
hay cut on the Muster field. The
crop is larger than usual. owing to
the fact that no officers schools have
been held there.
Adjutant General Presson is maxi
ing arrangements to move into the
departments new building. 1t will
probably take 10 days to two weeks,
owing to the great amount of filing
cases and other material that must be
moved and fitted in their new places
sin the vaults. All this will be done
before the working staff is moved.
Considerable interest is being
shown in the proposed field hospitals
for Maine. Several large centers
have signified their desire to have one
located in their immediate vicinity.
1t is very gratifying to the depart-
ment to receive SO many applications
from the coast towns and cities, ask
ing information as to the formation
of the Heavy Mobile or Railroad
Artillery. This is very attractive
arm of the service and one especially
needed along the coast. Anyone can
see how desirable it is to form such
an organization in such towns and
cities as Calais, Eastport, Machias,
Ellsworth, Bar Harbor Rockland,
Thomaston and Boothbay Harbor.
The laws and regulations pertain
ing to drill pay will in a short time
be printed and sent to each organi-
cation in the Guard The new re-
quirements for drill pay, which be-
came effective June 5 last are much
more liberal than formerly and much
more attractive, because the men are
now paid for attending drill, when go
per cent of the company turn out and
when each individual attends 60 per
cent, of the monthly drills. or three of
the four.

Road PETITION
TO the Honorable Boards OF County
Commissioners for the Counties OF
Somerset and p1scAtaqudS

The undersigned responsible citizens
of Somerset County respectfully rep
resent that a certain public road or
highway was located by the joint
boards of County Commissioners for
said Counties, beginning at or near

lington in Piscataquis County, thence
running in southwesterly course
through the towns of Wellington and
Harmony to it's intersection in the
town of Athens with the road leading
from Athens village to Wellington. by
the house of Seth Wing in said
Athens: that so much of said highway
as is located in Somerset County was
laid out by the Board of County Com
missioners for said County. as shown
by their return, dated August 20, A.
D., 1867, and recorded in the County
Commissioners records for Somerset
County. Vol. 5, Page 342; that that
portion of said highway commencing
at the Wing Corner, so called. near the
Wellington town line in Harmony. and
thence extending in a southwesterly
direction by Lorin Whitehouses to the
Athens town line, Is no longer of pub
lie convenience or necessity.
Wherefore, your petitioners respect
fully pray that that portion of said
way between the termini last above

The Coal Situation

Governor Milliken said Tuesday
afternoon that the coal situation was
unchanged and was perhaps more
serious than most people realized. He
said:
Il have been constantly lombard
ing everyone l could get hold of in
Washington to lombard, urging upon
them the absolute necessity to take
some kind of steps to relieve the sit
uation here in Maine. Some of our
State institutions have not got a
pound of their winters supply of coal
in their bunkers. Others have some.
but the whole of them only have s
per cent. in hand, whereas at this time
of year they should have so per cent.
1.-The governors of the New Eng
land states are considering getting to-
gether and present our needs and
wants in the coal line to the Presi
dent.
THE only thing that is going to
relieve us at all will be an embargo,
preventing the shipping abroad of an
other pound of coal until our domestic
wants have been supplied. That is
the first duty of the coal dealers, look
after our home people, but l suppose
that so long as foreign countries will
offer such unheard of prices for the
coal and they can without hindrance
ship away all they wish that the sit
uation will continue. AS l said, an
embargo is the only thing that will
relieve it now

A hearing has been ordered by the
Public Utilities Commission Tuesday
to shke place in the selectmen's office at
Hartland Friday, July 16. at A. NJ,
standard time. in the matter of the
complaint of the Hartland Water Com
pany against itself.
The complaint says that the rates of
the company for municipal and fire
service as we'll as the rates of other
companies or corporations have been
in force for many years without ma
terial change or revision.
The petition states that the rates
are discriminatory and unfair to the
municipality, other companies and cor
porations and private takers and TO
the complainant, in that owing to the
high cost of operation. labor. supplies
and practically every item entering
into the building and cost Of operating
water system, the present income de-
rived from rates. both municipal and
private, are wholly inadequate to pro-
vide for the proper maintenance and
operation Of the plant, depreciation
and fair return on a just valuation.
The complainant further alleges that
the rates are discriminatory and un-
fair and do not produce a reasonable,
just and adequate income.
decision was rendered Tuesday by
the Public Utilities Commission dis
missing the complaint against the
American Railway Express Co. for its
withdrawal of express service to and
from the towns of Camden and Rock
port and the closing of it's Offices in
these towns.

and the Knox Electric Co. that ar
agreement has been reached for the
continuance of the transportation of
express shipments between Rockland
