Arrange Series of
Four Pilgrimages to
Learn About Maine

There is no better way of getting
to know Maine than to visit every
nook and corner and upon that pre-
mise four pilgrimages to different
parts of the State have been ar
ranged as a part of what is known
as the know Maine campaign.
Announcement of the itinerary Of
these pilgrimages was made yester-
day at the Office Of Governor Brew
ster.
The first Of these pilgrimages is to
be a combination of steamship and
railroad trip. AS tentatively ar
ranged the party, which will num-
Der between IS and 100 persons will
embark on the Portland Eastport
steamer, at the State pier in Port
land on July 13. for a voyage along
the Maine coast to Eastport. There
will be a stop at Rockland and an
entire day will be passed in East
port and vicinity. Robert H. Pea
cock Of Lubec, member Of the
executive council of Maine from
Washington county, is taking per-
, sonal charge of entertainment de-
tails in Eastport, and has promised
Gov. Brewster that when the Pill
grims get back home, they will know
more about the fisheries and sardine
industry Of Maine than they ever
| surmised 1t was possible to know.
We'll show 'em how they catch
EN-, how they land 'em, how they
dress. cook and pack 'em, Govern
| or" assured the councillor, putting IN
couple of extra vigorous puffs on
his cigar. and that detail can be re-
| garded as settled.
During this visit the Pilgrims will
be given an opportunity to study the
proposed location of the Dexter p.
Cooper tidal power plant and dams
and to get more comprehensive
idea of what Mr.. Cooper proposes to
do.
After an intermission of about two
weeks, will come the second pill
grimage. This will be by automobile
and will be from Augusta to Aroos-
TOOK county. 1t will be Of two or
three days duration. Sufficient time
will be, allowed to permit those who
make the trip to have ample oppor-
tunity to see the great potato fields
at one OF the most interesting per-
iods, also for them to visit the Grand
Falls of the st. John river, see the
Aroostook Falls electric development
OF the Gould company and other in
teresting features of Aroostook
county.
These pilgrimages, by the way,
are to be on the Dutch treat" plan /:
that Is every one will pay his own
bills. Places visited will not be
asked to provide entertainment in
the way Of rooms and meals. OF
course, any plans whics they NAV
wish to make in town so as to
better show 1t up to the visitors will!
be cheerfully accepted and thorough
ly appreciated.
The third of these trips will be to
York county and Kittery at the time
Kittery holds it's annual old home
week celebration. This will enable
the visitors to become familiar with
| the great industries and other re-
sources Of the oldest county in the
State and is expected to be one of
the most interesting of all the Wis
itations.
Next will come, after about anoth-
er two weeks lapse. a trip into
Franklin and Oxford counties and to
the Rangeley lakes. In this trip
the Pilgrims will see a very differ
ent country, but it will be equal in
