Summer visitors to Maine coast
towns marvel at the great num-
Der Of handsome, long-haired cats
to be seen in those places, and
also at the number Of old men and
women who derive considerable
profit from raising the unusual ami
mails, says the New York Evening
Sun. The progenitors of the feline
aristocrats were brought to Maine
trading up the Mediterranean, who
brought cats from Persian and
African ports much as they do mon
keys and parrots from South Amer
lea. Several highly successful
breeders Of Angora cats live in Pc
nobscot Bay towns, and they ship
cats all over America.
Standish is the latest Maine place
to possess a black fox farm, the
Batchelder pasture, close to the
Gorham line, having been leased by
Mrs. ]. c. Evans Of Quebec fpr that
purpose. Walter Proctor Of Bidde-
ford. who has had experience, will
manage it.
Captain Timothy Elliott, who has
been at the head Of the immigration
department, Portland customs house,
since his appointment by President
Roosevelt in the latter's first term,
was retired last Monday, under the
new law which affects all customs
officials Of the treasury.
Biddeford's annual budget, Just
adopted, calls for an expenditure of
$2s1, 800.
1t is said that the short lobster
trade will be more precarious than
ever this season. the Sea and Shore
Fisheries Commissions wardens
having more power boats and plan
ming to patrol the entire coast.
1t is the opinion Of Portland con-
tractors that stagnation will rule in
the building line in that city as soon
as the present contracts have been
completed. owing to the excessive
cost of labor and materials.

much power AS can be done without
seriously interfering with the primary
use of the water above stated.
The principles to be followed in the
distribution Of the power are, as l
take it, that each shall have prefer
ence in the following order: First,
the pumping of Colorado river water
for irrigation; second, the local needs
of the municipalities irrigated from
Colorado river water; third, use by
other municipalities; and, fourth, dis
pcsal to private interests for pump
ing or other uses. This means that
the various irrigation districts should
have first preference for such power
as they need for pumping and munich
pal use; second, that municipalities
like the city of Los Angeles, San
Diego or any other towns that can be
reached by the lines Of the system
should be served to the extent that
they desire, and anything that is left
over after this should be disposed Of
to railroads or any other customer
that can be reached.
The general principle, I doubt not,
will be that all interests will contrib
ute in proportion to benefits as nearly
as these can be determined, the Unit
ed States standing the proper proper
tion for the public lands served and
each Of the districts standing the
requisite assessment in proportion to
beenfits rendered it. This will in
volve some difficult determinations of
relative benefits, such as the relative
value Of water for power and for irri-
fgation and the benefits of flood con-
troll, and these problems will not be
easy to solve. TIL general discussion
Eof the subject held in San Diego, l
believe you will recall, was to the eff
feet that the secretary Of the interior
was to be designated as the arbiter
tconcerning such matters, and his epin-
ion as to the proportion the United
] States should bear is required by the
Kinkaid act.

Shapes have altered somewhat, and
so have sizes. Sunshades Of the
normal size are still to be bought, but
shapes are apparently reverting to the
DAYS Of the crinoline. The little pat
tern with outstanding wires and sun
shades of the small deep shape are
again seen this season.
The handles are long; some are
without ferrules, and are Of the club
stick pattern. The covers are bright.
