Speaking of recommendations for
appointment to positions of public
trust. the head of department at the
State House laughed and pulled from
a drawer in his desk the following
letter. OF course it has been CEN

that aside from these few frankly
mentioned faults the candidate may
be considered worthy of considera-
ton:

who has shot about everything in
Maine and elsewhere, including some
strenuous work in France in the re-
cent unpleasantness. They will
therefore be interested in the Boston
Herald's little story of Danny's
filming Mt. Katahdin. that prince of
Maine mountains:
Katahdin, Names highest noun
tain peak and one of the highest in
New England, has been filmed by n
movie man. Danny Maher of Orono
Me, did the job, assisted by Chief
Fire Warden John T. Mitchell of
Patten. AS the nearest settlement to
Katahdin is 80 miles away, and nine
miles of the distance is over the
faintest sort of a trail, the job of
taking the movie man. his camera
and supplies in was some problem.
That was why Chief Mitchell was Sc
lected. He is one Of the best woods
men in the state of Maine,
Some idea of the difficulties Of the
job is to be had from the fact that
one pack horse was so injured that
it had to be killed in getting over
the rough trail from Katahdin pond
to Chimney pond, which is in the ba-
sin half way up the mountain.
Maher pictured all sides of the
mountain and then went on the ia
nous knife edge, a narrow strip of
rock, nearly half a mile long. con-
Meeting South peak with the Pamela
peak, and made a series of photo
graphs from there. This knife edge
is rarely more than six feet wide and
frequently not over three, while on
either side there is a sheer drop of
1000 or more feet. They had to fight
storms and all kinds OF weather on
the trip. but the resulting films are
excellent.
