Mr.. Curwood Is Coming
To Maine for Movie Work

James Oliver CurWood, noted writ
er of woods stories, is coming to
Maine this summer to tell about the
folks that live along the rugged
shores of the Pine Tree State.
MIR. Curwood has never been to
Maine, but according to letter re-
ceived by Hon. Carl Il. Milliken, for
mer governor, he is anxious to visit
this section of the country and plans
to pass several weeks at the sea-
shore.
Mr.. Curwood plans to write these
stories for the new Pine Tree Pic
lures, Inc, of which Governor Milli-
ken is the head. The acting force of
this organization has just completed
it's first picture, which is one of Cur
woods stories, and the scenes were
taken at Skinner. Members of the
company arrived in Bangor Saturday
under the charge of Director Charles
M. Seay and Governor Milliken left
Saturday morning to join them there.
Real enthusiasm has been shown by
Mr.. Curwood over the plans of the
new motion picture company. He is
not only interested in getting the cor
rect local color for the stories, but
he feels that the purpose of the new
producers, to furnish clean, whole
some stories, is most commemorate
and he has promised to operate so
far as his other contracts will al
low. The Pine Tree Pictures, Inc,
has already provided for the releas-
ing of its productions and it is ex-
pected that the first one will be seen
on the screen within a few weeks.

a whole community of holes. She re-

store took the case into court.
After one clerk for the store told the
court the holes complained of couldn't

took the matter under advisement.

Park street and on answering the
call found ]. B. Dyer who met him
with the inquiry do you want to be

in the village school buildings then
explained that on his way to build
the fires he noticed a package at the
foot of tree close to the front

thought was bomb. On investiga-

the officer picked it up carefully and
took it to a vacant lot near his home

The contents were found to be harm

was left by some wouldbe practical
Joker. Owing to the serious situa-

tempt at joke was far from being
appreciated. Deputy Adams has
given out word to the inhabitants of
this vicinity to regard any unusual
packages with suspicion and is es-
pecially anxious for them to use
great caution on April LIST, as it is
feared that the wouldbe assassin of
