DAM AT "BUMMER'S BRIDGE"

Indications now are that the Bar Har-
Dor & Union River Power Co. Will begin
the work of building the long contempla-
ted storage dam at Bflminer's bridge this
year, reports the Ellsworth American.
The company is going ahead with prelim-
mary plans in anticipation OF beginning
work in the early spring, but there are
some details still to be adjusted, one oil
which may delay. or even prevent the
carrying out of the project. Ii built, the
dam will cross the river at site OF the
present bridge, and the road will either be
carried across the river on the dam, or
new bridge built below the dam. The
crest of the dam will be approximately IL
feet above the present average level OF
the water 1t will flow back the river for
about Is mics, following the present
winding course of the river, though IN an
air line it will be only about III miles
from the dam to the head of the artificial
lake created The lake will average about
two miles wide. 1t will be the second
largest storage lake in Maine, and the
largest lake in Hancock county, excepting
possib Nicatous. The building OF the
dam will mean the expenditure OF about
half a million dollars, and be material
addition to the taxable property OF Els
worth.

CHARACTER SHOWN IN YOUTH
General Sherman, as Boy, Insisted
on Retaining Name Given Him
by His Father.

General Sherman, whose middle
name was Tecumseh. is the only not
ed man in American national history
TO bear an admittedly Indian name.
In his case the name vas selected by
his father, Judge Charles sherman,
because he admired the genius and
the character of the noted Indian chief
who bore that name.
A story is told that when Sherman
was brought to Presbyterian preach
er, not long after his fathers death,
to be baptized, the preacher demurred
to giving In Christian baptism to a
child the name of a heather Indian,
and but for the insistence of the boy
himself, it would probably have been
dropped.
Sherman, who was in his ninth year
when his father died. knew that his
father liked the name Tecumseh and
admired the character and genius Of
the old chief, and that he had not
lightly bestowed the name on his son.
He therefore entered strenuous OBJ
lection to the proposition thus sum-
marily to drop that part Of his name,
and finally took the position that I'M
less the name was retained he would
have none of the sacrament of bap-
tism. His wishes were acceded to by
the minister.

National Flowers.

Nations, like individuals, have their
favorite flowers, either through adop-
ton, association with important events
or religious ceremonies. Flowers have
been national emblems since earliest
times. Egypt has one of the oldest
of national flowers, beautiful species
Of water lily called the lotus. Egypt
fans have always connected that flow
er with their gods and with wisdom.
The lotus is also held sacred In India,
from the belief that Brahma, the SUI
preme being in Hindu religion, was
born In its bosom. Naturally, the
rose Is Persias flower. for Persia Is
a land of beautiful roses. Japan's ma
tional emblem Is the chrysan.hemum,
and the country itself is popularity
called the Land Of Chrysanthemums."
China has chosen the narcissus.

more advance to our industry, more as

the investor. | want to refer to the veri-
table witches cauldron being fed con-

fusion that arises from it we destroy our
selves. With the Interstate Commerce
Comm ission on one hand assuring hon.
esty in finance, justice to the shipper and
the railway investor, with the Railway
Labor Board assuring justice to workers
