BEAUTIFUL VILLAGE

Kanatak is a native village with a population of about 60 Indians. They are all of the Greek Orthodox religion and have a beautiful church located in the center of the village. Kanatak Creek is the dividing line between the native village and the white settle ment, the latter being a perfect flat which extends to the foothills and is intersected by small streams of clear sparkling water from the springs in the mountains which towers majestically in the background, as if to hide which may turn out to be the greatest oil fields in the world.
 Kanatak is situated at the head of Portage Bay and the harbor offers eX- cellent shelter for boats of all sizes, from any winds from the northeast, north, northwest, west and southwest. A long reef extends almost two-thirds across the bay and this breaks the heavy swell which comes occasionally with southeast winds.
 The perfect oil domes of Salmon and Bear Creek can be seen within one-half hours walk from Kanatal1 and the end of the anticlines termin- ates by the sea right at the settlement.

ming on the Kennebec as early as the
year 1853. also he says that the
Eastern Queen was sold and seat
south at the outbreak OF the Civil
war in the year 1881. IF ! remember
right, the Eastern Queen was burnt
in her winner dock at Wiscasset about
the time that he says that she was
sent south. j am lutte sure that she
must have been repaired for think
that she piled on the kennebec with
other steamers. there being four in
number, the Eastern Queen, Eastern
City, Star of the East and the Daniel
Webster, and that these four boats
were in full opera Ion running from
Boston to up Kennebec ports.
This opposition line was plying be-
tween 1868 and 1856 and during one
of those years steamboating was very
lively on the Kennebec, two boats
leaving Boston for Kennebe, river
ports the same night, and two leaving
for Boston.
One could go to Boston very cheap
in those days, as they carried pas
sengers as low as rs cents. think
that sometimes they carried them for
nothing and I cannot say but wha,
they furnished free rum.
IL Mr.. Cole could consult his records
he might find that he was mistaken
If so. would like to hear from him
again.

Coolidge reviewed the activities of
the president and congress. pointing
to the signing of the treaty of peace
with Germany. the RATIFICATION of the
treaty with Columbia and the steps
taken toward the recognition Of
Mexico.
"As a result of our dealings with
foreign countries, even those, which
we have not recognized, every nation
knows where our government stands
and we are established in the re-
spect Of the world" he declared.
"The main object offs the special
session of congress was to adjust
finances. From the work of Budget
Commissioner Dawes the nations eX-
penses We're reduced from - bill
lion dollars last year to about four
billion this year and an estimate OF
IL billion next year.
"TaXes have been reduced so that
the door of opportunity has been re-
opened SO that youth and ambition
may again compete with established
industries without being taxed to
death.
1.-THE temporary law restricting i'm
migration has relieved pressure from
without when there was already fear
Of unemployment within and thus
has protected the working man."
Referring to the farmers he said
that congress and the president both
sought with great diligence for their
help. He pointed out loans to cattle
raisers and the work of the farm loan
board.
ut is the policy of the party in
power to preserve the American
market for American agriculture and
to assist the farmer by increasing the
prosperity OF his customers" he said.
He declared that the administration
above everything else was working !
for the relief of war veterans and /.
their dependent relatives. The new
department combining |
all government activities for soldier |
relief had done great work. he said. |
and now was getting into it's real |
stride.
He concluded by saying that the !
arms conference had resulted in out |
having of the newly created bar |
barities of war. banished armament |
from the sea and substituted law for |
might and conference for coercion. !
