NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-Freight
traffic in the week ended Aug. ii
was the heaviest of the year, demon
strating the recent strength in the
railroad stocks was not wholly at
tributable to consolidation pros
poets. With car loadings showing
steady gains each week the forth
coming reports on income should
show further impressive gains in the
net profit.
This outlook was reflected in the
buoyant tone of the carrier group,
which led the whole market in the
early dealings today. Frisco COM
mon attained the best levels of its
history at 95, and Ontario & Western
did likewise at 30A, while new
highs on the move were reached
by Rock Island at 4S5s and Erie a:
32k.
American Can continued the prin-
cipal feature of strength among the
industrials, advancing fractionally
No 2341a, while General Railway Sig
.%al continued it's remarkable adj
vance with a gain of points to 29S.
Opening prices included:
Further spectacular advances oc-
Cured in high priced industrials
around noon, imparting a strong
tone to the whole market. Ameri-
can Can mounted to 241, up points.
General Electric also achieved new
record prices at 32112.
Copper shares reflected strength
Of metals in a vigorous forward
movement, led by American Smelt-
ing, which spurted 2as points to
1888.
Rails continued to present greatest
uniformity, with special strength in
B. & O., which advanced IL points
to 81A; accumula ion is in progress
in this stock, in anticipation of the
replacement of the present IS divi-
dend by a Sc rate before the end of
the year.

nal at one-half the cost of shipping by
rail from Minnesota and the shoe CEN
ter of st. Louis. 1t Is this fact which
will enable the Maine Gamers and
Maine shoe manufacturers to compete
with the similar industries of the Mis-
sissippi region.
When Governor Brewster reached
that part of his address dealing with
Names recreffional attractions, he
waxed particularly eloquent. and IL his
words accomplished nothing more than
to make Maine people more satisfied
with their lot and appreciative of their
hills, lakes. woods. mountains, sea.
coast and rivers, he will have done
much for his state.
He spoke of the great boys and
girls camp business, which last sum-
mer brought 10000 young Americans
to our state to become real enthusi-
asts for the rest Of their lives. He
declared that the summer tourist
population is almost equal to our
permanent population and that our
100000 visitors last year left fifty
million dollars within our borders.
America is getting out OF doors, and
Americans have awakened to the re-
alization that It is the people of the
temperate zones who have lead in the
worth while accomplishments Of the
world.
Governor Brewster paid tribute to
the energy of California and Florida
in capitalizing their natural assets
and pointed out that II Maine would
but do the same, no state could head
her. He called upon his hearers to
boost these attractions and things in
which we are paramount, and to fol-
low the example of our far southern
and far western sisters IN leaving un.
said those things which are not OF
good report.
In speaking briefly Of the develop
Maine movement which has been en-
thusia stically received in every sec
ton of the state, through just such
community meetings as that OF yes
terday. Governor Brewster said that
there were two ways in which every
citizen could aid: First by knowing
Maine and being ready to retail its
advantages and attractions, and sec
ondly, to be prepared when they were
called upon to act favorably in the
matter Of town and city contribu-
lions to the fund which is to be
raised by permission Of the legisla-
ture, to advertise the state as a
whole. BY this legislation towns and
cities may contribute to the general
fund a sum up to l mill OF their to-
tai state tax.
The $50 people in attendance at the
splendid "Boost Maine luncheon
noon. represented the Au--
eusta Rotary, Kiwanis. Calumet and
Elks clubs, the American Legion, the
city government and ether civic Or
carnations. There were also many
others present who believe whole
heartedly in their state, and are en-
thusiastic boosters all of the time.
The dinner was most sumptuous
and was served by the women OF the
Penney Memorial church. The me-
nu included grapefruit cocktail, roast
chicken, mashed potato. peas, pickles
rolls Jelly. home made pies, dough-
nuts and coffee. During The iuncheon
hour the group was lead in the sing
ing of the "NVelcome TO Maine SONG,
by Charles +. Bilodeau, with safnuei
Titcomb presiding at the piano.

BOOST MAINE
Continues from Pase one)

future OF Maine, the governor declar-
ed that 1t was the opinion OF expert
agricultural analysts that the tide
would swing back eastward in the
next 10 years. This being due to the
fact that there are no longer any
cheap acres available for agriculture
in the west. and because the soil of
the western states now needs extern
sive fertilization, and, too, the stran-
gulation of the railroads means that
the east must be self-dependent in the
matter OF products Of the soil.
Maine has several products which
have no equal in the country or in
the world today. In Aroostook county
the finest potatoes in the world can be
raised 900 bushels to the acre, as COM
pared to the 156-bushel average of
the rest of the states. Maine-canncd
peas have been found during the past
year to command the market even in
those states which have heretofore
been considered supreme in the rails
ing and canning of this food commodi-
ty. Maine apples have no equal either
in size, flavor or quality, and the apple
producers Of Oregon have been advis-
ed by their state agricultural depart
mcnt against extension of their or
chards as they cannot hope to COM
pete with the apples produced IN
northern New England and New York.
The speaker said that in the matter
OF cattle raising, the industry is as
yet still I'm its very infancy. but the
experiments which have been conduct
ed in several places in this State and
especially at Jefferson, show that here
Is q iin,ftless field OF profitable en-
deavor---Maine baby beef is today
selling for two cents more per pound
than the western product.
Maine-canned corn has for a gener-
alton bsen the standard and there are
ever Increasing possibilities in this
product for the farmers and the can
ners. BY q rotation Of crops-peas,
string beans and corn-the land Is en-
rjched and the canning FACTORIES are
kept running over a longer period
thereby cutting down the overhead.
In the matter Of the industrial fu-
ture. Governor Brewster declared that
the tendency is for Decentralization,
and that the facilities Of transporta-
ton and power would bring Industries
to Maine. The two greatest railroad
systems in America come into this
State-the Canadian Pacific and the
Grand Trunk--and from our seaports
products can be shipped to the Pa
