presented to the state executive COM
mittee of the Legion Saturday at a
special meeting to be held in Mime

Administrators of the estate, con-
tending that Mrs. Cockburn is no re-

right as an heir at-law, were con-
tented with a handful of witnesses,
most of whom told stories of Arizona

moral codes of the time and tending
to cast doubt on the legality OF Crab

plans to build an electric railroad
from Washburn., near his home in
Aroostook county, to Lake Frontier,
Quebec, a distance of 112 miles,

Railroad.
AS he passed through this city to-

been notified in New York by Presi-
dent A. r. Graustein of the Interna-
tional Paper Co., that his decision
concerning the signing of permits to
cut timber in the company's holdings

Portland, Dec. 23.-Maine Christ
mas trees will shed their Yuletide

of holiday cheer into more than a
million American homes tomorrow.
This statement was made today by
the Maine Central Railroads freight

of this roads tonnage Of holiday

During shipping season extending
from November s to December 20,

the figure of 1900 being regarded
as conservative estimate. This fig
ure is confirmed by E. K. Chapman
of this city, the dean of Maine
Christmas tree shippers, who also
probabl sold more Christmas trees
than any other Individual.
Christmas tree shipments this sea-
son represent the high record since
1920, according to Mr.. Eaton, which
were destined to points as far away
as Milwaukee, Wis, and Jackson

of the Christmas tree traffic, de-
clared Mr.. Eaton, who regards the
quality of the service rendered by

factor in the success of the Christ
