Secretary Work, on Eve of
Extensive Trip, Tells of
InteriorsSavings.

Pointing to an estimated saving of
! 100000 annually to the Government
as one of the outstanding accomplish
mentS of the department during the
past Byear, Secretary of the Interior
Work declared yesterday the progress
of work in the department has been
m ost satisfactory over the last II
mohths Mr., Work is leaving Wash
( inSfon for the West, where he will
insbect reclamation projects and ma
tional parks.
I'VE have no complaint TO make
against Congress- he said. 'It has
treated our problems sympathetically.
4 new reclamation law was enacted
that will bring relief to the distress
ing conditions that have arisen on
Federal irrigation projects. Much
wholesome legislation for the benefit
of the Indians was passed. Congress
has sanctioned the plan of stablish-
ing new national parks in the East"
Mr.. Work said 80 local land offices
have been closed and total of 50
surplus employees have been dropped
from the payroll in the public land
service. We estimate that the whole
reorganization of the Land Office has
resulted in a saving of 100000 an
nually to the Government" he added
Other accomplishments enumerated
by Mr.. Work included organization
of the Federal Oil Conservation
Board. He urged definite Federal
policy be adopted toward the Colo
RADIO River
This river has been the subject of
study for the past so years. 1t has
been under consideration by prac-
ticany every Congress for the last
eight decades. Further delay by the
Government in reaching some COM

expensive but futile"
The present trip, to last about a
month, will be followed by another

larger life and whose faces ne missed
He took no text, but talked freely. easi,
" and directly to his former people OIL
what he called "The Community fro-
gram of Jesus" His talk was an ex-
position of the conditions that make
this larger parish movement so much
needed in rural life today. laying, as he
expressed 1t, a broad foundation Tor
consideration of the work.
He declared first that we were living
in a new era, that growth and progress
In methods of religious work must keep
pace with growth and progress in other
lines Then, not only were rural COM
munities and small town facing new
conditions, but there was new farm
err. and to reach him with his IDEAS of
science and progress there must be
methods adapted to the change in con-
ditions. The third of the fundamentals
that have brought about the present
situation Is these changed conditions
that the farmer must meet. The new
farmer with his science is apt to
''leave God out" to consider that all
that he wins he does by his own knowl-
edge and labor alone. The early conner
to our country was by nature of the
conditions he faced an individualist,
both in religion and in society; then
came the group and family stage. Now
he idea is community church, one
that works for the welfare of the en-
tire community. The area reached
should be nearly, if not quite. coinci-
dent with the trade zone. Ashland, In
our Dawn State, is an example of this
work. The community church there
serves $50 square miles Of territory
with IS cooperating units The new
movement, the 'relisio- social program"
Is endeavoring to bring to the farmer
and the family outside OF town life the
best things Of city and town, whatever
in them is worth while. A happy re-
ligion is what it Is aiming to bring ia
| them. The community church, single
church serving large area. avoids
waste and duplication of money and eff
fort and works for the betterment OF
the entire community in social and
civic lines as well as in those purely
religious.
DIR. Dana was heard with serious and
| thoughtful consideration. At the close
he expressed a wish that the historic
Old South church of Hallowcll. with It's
splendid background Of unsellish serv-
ice from the beginning until now,
should lead here In this community in
somewhat similar work. making it.
self center for all things worth while.
Two anthems by the chorus choir add
ed to the interest of the service.

Ice Harvesting
Rings of Industry
Of Years Past

The Talbot ice teams passing
through the streets reminds one of
the old industry which used to flour
ish along the shores of the Kennebec.
Mr.. Talbot has a large crew on the
field, and the buzz of the saws and
the planners has the same ring as
those Of olden days. 1t will be re-
membered that the ice industry
brought hundreds of men to Gardi-
ner and time was when tile nearby
farmers could count on several weeks
steady employment for themselves
and their horses during the winter
months in the harvesting of ice. Now
the local ice dealer. S. w. Talbot fur
nishes the only means of this sort
for them, and this, OF course is limit
ed. In the year 1897 the Ice Trade
Journal of New York published a
map with one of their issues show
ing the location of the various houses
on the shore of the Kennebec and
from this one may gather clear idea
OF the magnitude Of the industry.
Here fortunes. as they were reckon
ed in those days, were made and lost.
depending on the supply and demand.
The map embraces the kennebec
from Abbagasset Point to the SOU
thern boundary of the city Of Au-
gusta. At the time Of its making
there were SO ice houses. varying in
capacity and having an approximate
total storage capacity Of nearly one
one-half million tons. Not only
were these houses filled to their ut
most capacity, but stacks" were also
made from which the first shipments
were made.
Today as far as the Kennebec Is
concerned, the harvesting of ice has
gone the way of home spinning and
weaving and at the present day there
is not a single house on the river,
outside Of those of the local dealers
in the cities along the river. The
Berry house. with its $4,000 ton ca
pacity was the last to go. When the
ice industry began its decline. the
cut made on the Kennebec depended
on the freeze on the Hudson river.
II the freeze was poor the cut on the
Kennebec was large for the freeze
In this section was always good an.
Kennebec ice had a reputation sec
ond to none.
The prime reason for the decline
of the industry Is that artificinlly
made ice can be placed on the mar
kets at much lower cost than the
naturally made product and the Am
erican Ice Co.. which concern prac-
tically controlled the interests on the
river are now combining their atten-
