MUCH WORK Being
DONE ON MAINE
QUEBEC HIGHWAY
Chief Engineer Sargent Issues
Statement Correcting Rumor
Circulated That Highway
from Boundary to Bingham
Is Unsafe for Travel-Ride
is One of Most Beautiful in
New England

Information has come TO the
Office of the State Highway Commits
sion to the effect that an organized
effort Is being carried out in the city
OF Quebec to divert automobile traf-
fc destined for the United States by
way OF the Quebec-Jackman-W Water
vile highway, to highways leading
back into the states by way of Sher-
brooke. Quebec and the White or
Green Mountains. 1t is understood
that parties are informed that the
highway from the Maine Quebec
boundary to Bingham is unsafe for
travel and in consequence many cars
are diverted away from Maine,
which undoubtedly results in the
loss of large amount of revenue to
parties in this State who cater to
tourist traffic.
The State Highway Commission Is
this year making an effort to recon-
struct all of the sections q highway
between Bingham and the Quebec
line which have heretofore been con-
sidered narrow and dangerous. in
fact this work has been going on for
the past two seasons and at the
present time some six crews are OPP
Grating between Caratunk and the
Canadian line. Between 25O and BOG
men are employed in this work
with about 80 horses and 20 or more
trucks. The Commission in May
purchased a steam shovel which has
been constantly in use between
Caratunk and The Forks In widen
ing the narrow road along the Ken
nebec river.
While this large operation In
highway construction has been run

rot Mr.. Everett gone to his as
sistance at once. After some diff
ficulty, Mr.. Everett got the animal
to his feet but he was in a : very
shaky condition and it was some
time before he was able to walk
about as usual.
About 430 an alarm of fire was
blown on the whistle at the shoe
factory, and it was reported that
the barn of Charles Bates on the
Martin Stream road was burning.
The new combination fire truck with
crew of men was soon on the way
and made speedy run to the scene
or the supposed fire. 1t was found
however. that there was no fire on
the Charles Bates place, but that
one was reported in the neighbor-
mood of Ten Lots" so called. in the
town of Fairfield. 1t is not often
that the Norridgewock Fire com
pany receives false alarm. but the
aIIair demonstrated to their satis-
laction how speedily the new engine
can arrive at the scene of a fire in
the outlying districts. -

Harmony Not Expected
White-C OlOred Association

Toronto. Ont, Aug. 1-(By A. pl-
Inc question whether white and
coiored races can associate profitabIv
was among those raised TODAY h,
Prof. j. w. Gregory of Glasgow Uni.
Verslty, in an address before the
Brltlsh Association for the Advances
ment of Science.
Inc white race. the speaker pointed
out, governs eight-ninths of the
habitable land of the globe. and its
responsibility is becoming an almost
dangerous burden. This because the
colored races are increasing in num-
bers more rapidly than the whites
and the personal authority which the
white man held at the end of the
last century has suffered a mo.
mentous decline.
Considering next inter-racial rela-
tons. DIR. Gregory suggested that in
countries where white and colored
races lived side by side, four policies
might be followed: "a amalgamation
by r-marriage; (2) co-residence
with complete social separation (3)
Acknowledgement of the colored popu-
lation or (D the segregation OF the
different races in separate countries
In communities.
The policy of co-residence with So
cial separation is on its trial at the
present day in the United States.
There, In spite of all efforts to pro-
mote good feeling and cooperation
between the two races, the negro
question remains a continual menace,
an apparently unsoluble problem. To
cope with this alarming situation,
DIR. Gregory said that three drastic
proposals have been put forward, dis
reimbursement of the negro popula-
ton, exile. and segregation, all of
which proposals he proceeded to rule
out of court. He suggested that the
present tendency for the agricultural
work in the southern states ito pass
into the hands of south European
immigrants might lead to the foun-
dalton of hybrid race there. to
which in course of time some meas
ure Of home rule might be granted.
Prof. Gregory next dealt with the
situation In South Africa where. he
said, the system Of segregation was
one OF the main political issues at
the present time.
Turning to the question of tropical
colonization, DR.. Gregory said that In
the case of Australia undoubtedly
the wisest measure would be the oc-
cupation of the entire continent by
the European race. Much has been
written. he said. concerning the I'M

5795 CATTLE
TESTED IN JULY

A total of 5795 cattle were tested
for tuberculosis during the month of
July through the cooperative work in
eight different counties and only 81
reactors were found, which was in
deed and excellent showing.
DR.. J. B. Reidy, federal agent in
charge of the cooperative testing
work, reported yesterday that con-
siderable retesting has just been car
ried on in Hancock county and Irac-
tically all of the cattle in that sec
ton are now clean.
The extension work is being con-
tinued in Waldo county in coopera-
ton with the county Farm Bureau
agent.
