This. Of course. is all conjecture,
but 1t is a most plausible conjecture.
Probably 1t is to the accident of the
location of the tomb of King Ramses
that Lord Carnarvon and Mr.. Carter
owe their amazing find The early
pilferers did not attempt to remove
the large objects. only taking things
easily portable and of immediate
value. 1t Is very unlikely that they
would have taken the royal mummy
recently buried.
All the experts, therefore, are fairly
confident that Tutankhamen himself
lies somewhere behind the sealed
door. though perhaps the wrappings
may have been disturbed in the hur-
ried search for such jewels as may
have been buried on his person
Evening star., 1923-02-08

and 1t seems that there was one good
reason why they may not, have known
1t. The tomb. OF Ramses vi, is Just
above that Of TutAnkhamen. The lat
ter had been buried 200 years when
Ramses vi died. and in the course
Of the two centuries the exact loca-
tion Of hiS burial place may we'll
have been forgotten. At least the
workmen engaged on the tomb of
King Ramses. II Is reasonable to sup
pose. did not know 1t as all the rub
bish exoavated from the upper tomb
was thrown down OH the lower one,
covering all trace Of Ii. There is also
evidence that the worl<men had their
living huts right across the track.
Tutankhamen's tomb was thus hidden
and the place where the tomb lay was
unsupported by the later robbers.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Company

When you get me started on local
history l hardly know where to stop
so shall yield to the temptation to
comment further on the above data.
The incident of 1771-72 Is especially
astonishing. Eli Weston and Isaac
Smith, then respectively twelve and
eighteen years, remained here entire
ly alone. Joseph Weston, the faith
err of Eli, tpossibly accompanied by
Peter Haywood) had been here dur
ing the summer or fall, done a little
work on the land and built a log
cabin. This was on the westerly
bank of the Kennebec, about three
miles below Skowhgean. He then
returned to Massachusetts, probably
expecting to come back in a few
weeks but did not do so. Perhaps
an early winter made it impossible
for him to get through. At any rate
the two boys lived in that cabin alone
until the following spring.
At its incorporation, Canaan en-
braced all of the territory now known

the down river end of Skowhegan
Island. In those days this magni-
ficent fish was very plentiful in Ken
nebec waters and the Indians would
spear them, and perhaps take them
in other ways, as they passed up and
down over the rapids. In the Iro-
quois language, the falls and locality
became known as Skoohegan, a place
to watch, meaning good chance to
watch for and catch fish.
When the first settlers arrived they
copied, in their speech, the Indian
pronunciation the best they could
and when dictionary of the Indian
language was made. the spelling Skoo-
hogan, appeared therein. We have
never traced the matter through to
find out when and for what reason
the "w' was substituted for the extra
20" and perhaps 1t would be impos-
sible to determine. The falls al
ways went by the Indian name as
above mentioned. The territory
around didn't have the sanle designa-

Worlds Dairy Congress in Washing

behalf Of the United States,
Secretary Hughes, although he
didn't know it at the time, extended
the official glad-hand to three
accredited representatives of the
Moscow Soviet. It's a little thing
in itself, but it's little things from
which spring momentous events.
Officially, however, the Administra-

Russian Soviet Government and
won't have anything to do with it
politically.
