erset and Kennebec counties, now
in the third, would be in the second.
If such an alignment is made, the
area of the third district would in
crease from 9,2S2 square miles to
1861 square miles, only a little
short of half the total area of the
State or, to use Congressman
Peters comparison, it would add to
an area at present larger than the
whole state of Massachusetts, an
other little slice larger than the
state of Connecticut. And even
then this district would have only

may want to toss Waldo into the

continue the comparison, add Rhode

FIRE IN TRENTON,
Harry Nj. Woods Farm Buildings
DESTROYED Saturday Night,

Trenton, Jan. "a Especially THE
farm buildings Of Harry M. Woods,
| formerly the George Moore place,
| were burned Saturday night, with all
his furniture, clothing and farm
tools. Mr.. Woods was awakened
by noise shortly after nine o'clock,
and found his house all afire. He
had time only to save his wife and
little girl, who escaped from the
house in their bare feet and night
clothes. A neighbor happened along
the road and helped save the
tractor and the stock, but two large
hogs made their way back into the
stable and were burned.
The fire caught around the Chin
ney, and had gained such Roadway
that it was impossible to save any
thing from the house. Mr.. Woods
had large quantity of vegetables in
his cellar and seven tons Of hay in his
barn. 1t is understood there was an
insurance of $500, which will not
half cover the loss.
Mr.. Woods and his family came
here last fall and Immediately made
a place for themselves in the COM
munity, winning the esteem Of their
neighbors. Mr. Woods is a pro-
gressive farmer, and had already
made extensive improvements on his
place. He had one of the best set
of farm buildings in the county, and
his plans and methods would in a
few years have made it one of the
demonstration farms of this section.
Mr.. Woods and his family have the

community. The loss to the COM
munity and to the county will be still
greater should the fire discourage
Mr.. Woods in his efforts here and
cause him to seek another location.
1t is hoped that he will build here.

Maine Loses a Congressman.

BY the adoption last week of the
House reapportionment bill with an
amendment limiting the membership
in the House to 435, Maine will lose
one Congressman.
The Maine delegation in Congress
made a determined fight against the
amendment. but the odds were
against them. Congressman Peters,
speaking on the proposed amend
ment, gave some interesting facts as
arguments against it. Mr.. Peters
based much of his argument for an
Increase in the House on the ground
that Congress should keep pace with
the growth of the country, and that
states should not be deprived of the
representation they now enjoy. He
said in part:
ITO divide Maine into three districts
instead of four would create an APP
palling geographical situation. l now
happen to represent the eastern dis
trict. | sometimes say that ! am the
only real down east Yankee in Con-
Eress, as my district runs way down
TO Eastport, with $50 miles of ocean
frontage and 5000 square miles of
area-just the size of Massachusetts.
The most probable new division
would increase that area nearly SO
per cent. Not only that, but large and
entirely different business interests
are brought in to be cared for. The
s63,000 people of that division scat
tered over great territory are entitled
TO have their interests represented
more efficiently than would be posi-
BILE by one member of Congress.
The second or middle district of
Maine now has an area of 5000 square
miles. In tripartite division ii
could hardly have less than $4,000,
There are too many people, too diverse
interests, and too much northern out
sf-doors in that probable district tc
admit of adequate representation by
any one human being"
1t will be the duty of the present
State legislature to reapportior
Maine into three instead of foul
congressional districts. The tota
population of Maine, according to thu
1920 census, the basis on which thu
reapportionment will be made, i:

AWOKE "A BEAR.
Ellsworth Boy Starts Trouble for
Himself at CheSunCOOk.


Earle G.. Anderson, an Ellsworth
| boy, had a thrilling experience
with a bear few days ago. Ander-
son is at present employed by the
Great Northern Paper Co. at Ches-
uncook village. Having few hours
a day to himself, he decided to set a
few traps.
While making the rounds of his
! traps last week, he noticed a slight
mist rising from a hole under the
roots of a large tree. He investi-
gated, and found Mr.. Bruin was in
his den, fast asleep Having only
| a revolver of small caliber with him,
Anderson went back to the village,
procured a rifle and, without saying
word to anybody, went back to the
bear den.
Arriving at the den, he was in
quandary, for he did not know how
to get bruin out. Finally he re-
membered that he had heard bear
could be smoked out of den, so he
built fire close to the opening
The wind was from the right quar-
ter, and waited the smoke directly
into the hole.
With rifle cooked, Anderson stood
waiting. His efforts were finally re-
warded. Coughs, grunts and
growls indicated that the bears sleep
had been disturbed, and soon with a
mighty rush and in mighty bad
temper, swept out through the fire
and smoke and stood blinking in the
sun, half blinded by the unac-
customed glare. Anderson fired,
but, excited by the sudden appear
ance of the bear which he had ex-
pected to walk out sleepily, his aim
was bad, and he only succeeded in
wounding the bear in the right
shoulder
Bruin. now accustomed to the
light and seeing the cause of his rude
awakening and the singing pain in
his shoulder, standing before him,
lunged forward and swung viciously
just as Anderson fired again. The
second shot went home, but did not
stop the vicious swing of that big
paw. Anderson's coat sleeve was
ripped from shoulder to wrist, and
his rifle was knocked spinning fifty
feet away. Anderson's arm was
slightly scratched, and his nerves a
little on edge. but other than that
he was all right. He told his father,
Hollis E. Anderson, that he had had
enough bear hunting for all time.
Frank Anderson, brother to
Earle, had a similar experience a
few years ago, but escaped without
a scratch

FOOD FAIR.
Ellsworth is to Have One, Probably

in March.
Ellsworth is to have another food
fair. This much has been decided
and the date has tentatively been set
as the five days beginning Tuesday,
March 30 A few of the live bust
ness men of Ellsworth have resolved
themselves into committee, and are
going ahead with plans.
The proceeds from the fair will go
towards the high school building
fund. The committee needs and
should receive the hearty support
and cooperation of the people of Ellis
worth. The men who are assum
ing the work of getting up the food
fair are not doing so with any idea
of appropriating to themselves what
ever of honor or prominence may be
attached to it, but because they are
willing to assume the burden and the
work, which are not light. 1t
means work, and lots of it, to get up
a successful food fair, and this com
mittee will be a committee of work
ers. To make the affair a success,
of course, the people of Ellsworth
must get behind it with moral and
material support. but the actual
work will devolve upon a small
committee of willing workers.
1t is proposed to have the fair on
much the same lines of those of few
years ago. There will be booths and
decorations and music, good music,
every afternoon and evening of the
fair, and dancing every evening.
The committee has not yet
formally organized, but will do so at
a meeting this evening. Then the
minor committees will be appointed,
and the detail work taken up.
