Webster Early
 Saw Wireless

Portsmouth h,N.H.-DanieI Webster is coming to be remembered hardly more as statesman and orator than as prophet. Following fast on the fu1fIlment recently of his prophecy made at the 20Oth anniversary of the landing of Pilgrims in 1920 that when another century had rolled round the voice of the celebrators would be heard from Plymouth Rock to the Pacific coast. Judge Edgar AIdrich offered to have prophesied also the wireless telephone or telegraph.
 In a. letter to former Governor John H. Bartlett, Judge Aldrich ap proved a proposal to name a central state highway after Webster, and add ed to Webster's prophecies by quot ing from a. letter written from his seat in the United States senate in 1S49 to his friend, MT. Blatchford in Boston. The letter which Judge A1d- rich~said he had happened on recent ly, said:
 eff writing and sending were as ready and easy as talking and shak- ing hands, these morning sa1utations of friends would be equally pleasant on paper. Perhaps electricity will help us to the means of all this yet, so that when you are giving advice or receiving fees, in your office in Hanover street, may speak to YOU from on board my boat, at Sunk Rock and tell you when I have a bite. MT. Badger is making a very able speech in reply to MT. Hale.

 ''Can it be possib1e,''. Judge Aid rich remarked, that midst his great duties as a senator and as secretary of the states-with his manifold di- versions in respect to his farms-the details of which he so closely plan ned and so much enjoyed-midst his sports on the seas and with the rod on the streams and ponds, he had studied and, more than any other man of his day, foresaw the possibilities of electricity and possibly the wire 1ess?'

statement. The board of relief had difficulty in determining what valua- ton the majority of the board of as sessors had placed on certain pieces of property. A number of the lists as completed by the assessors showed a1- terations made by erasures and sub- stftutions-
 The responsibility for these changes is disclaimed by all the assessors Two of them, F.. M. Sanford and Joel Godfrey, affirm that the substantial figures deviate from those heretofore agreed upon as fas as their judgment represented the proper valuation. The conflicting statements made by mem bers of the board of assessors re- garding the list of F. D. Adams ana brought to the attention of the board by S. c. Shaw seemed sufficient req son for investigation. Mr. Shaw stated that after receiving notice Of the increase of MT. Adams assessment he inquired of F. M. Sanford and
 MT. Gorham as to why increase or
 S2,O0O was made. MT. Sanford sald' according to MT. Shaw's statement,
 that he did not recall any increase
 MT. Gorham told MT. Shaw that the
 increase was because of omission Of
 a building from list. Assessor San ford appeared before our board and
 stated the facts were as given by MT. Shaw.
 He further said that the erasures and substitutions made on lists of various property owners were made without his Knowledge. MT. San ford then called the attention of our board to the list of Elizabeth Bur gess. The valuation of the house on her list entered in the assessors col uhn was, as he supposed, fixed by the assessors at S900- At a subse- ouent meeting of the assessors MT. Sanford and MT. Godfrey discovered that the figure had been partially 1 erased and a written over it, mak- ing a. difference of S200. MT. Gorham, upon being spoken to about the l change, absolutely denied making any | change This statement of MT. San ford was later sworn to by MT. God

 The change was allowed to stand against their better judgment. Both
