MAY ERECT MODERN
OFFICE BUILDING IN
HARTFORD SQUARE

That the extension of business
places and Offices for commercial
purposes in Augusta is trending to
leave the restricted area of Water
street and climb onto the plateau
above Rines Hill has been evident for
some time to those who have been
familiar with the several options on
Grove street properties, which have
been taken during the past few
months by far-sighted business men.
With the construction of the mod
ern three-story office building by the
Central Maine Power Company to
house the general offices of that utili-
ties corporation, on the site of the
Bradbury house, a real commercial
development will have been started
above Rines Hill.
And now 1t Is learned that Blaine
S. Viles of this city has purchased
the buildings and land east of the

for offices and other commercial pur-
poses. The transfer of this property,
numbering on Hartford Square, was
made to Mr.. Viles by Caroline Poulin,
but the amount involved in the deal
was not announced.
/ Mr.. Viles stated last evening that
his plans for developing the property
had not been perfected. though 1t is
probable that the building will be re-
modelled or new and modern struc-

business use, as the location is con-

At the present time Mr.. Viles
maintains an extensive suite of off,
ces on the fifth floor of the Augusta

cumberland and other interests are
administered.

Caribou Outlets.

Sportsmen and pot-hunters up in
Alaska now have to wait until the
train on the Alaska Railroad stops
before taking a shot at a caribou.
This new rule apparently has been
promulgated in the interests of con.
servation. although to the mind Of
the average man a shot from a NOV.
ing train Is a bit more difficult than
from a standstill. Anyhow, the Gus.
tom used to be for the trainmen and
any passengers so inclined to plug a
fat animal from the rolling stock on
the uptrip and pick up the carcass
on the return journey. Now advan.
tage must be taken Of wait at a
siding for q chance at a fat yearling
wherewith to augment the Winters
meat supply. Perhaps wolves and
other vermin were getting too many
free feeds.
Despite this annual easy Autumn

which gather along the right Of way

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.
Good VIII and Peace.


1t is perfectly safe to say that there
In a universal yearning for that kind
of better understanding that issues
in good will and guarantees to men
the world over the ASSURANCE OF
peace. Congresses, parliaments and
chancelleries may debate as they will
the methods and terms by which it's
supreme contamination Is to he eff
fected, the seifishneas Of nstionalism
may he disclosed in an effort after
commercial supremacy. but In spite
OF all this the will to peace grows
stronger and stronger, and disoloses
itself in a rising tide NJ popular opin-
ion. With or without a universal Ian.
guage this will to peace articulates
itself and joins in one the peoples OF
every tongue and Of every race.
Once each year with the Winter
solstice and the return Of Christmas,
we find our natures softened and our
minds more receptive to the high
claims Of Him whose advent was
ushered In with a message of peace
and good will. Under the strange
spell Of this season We find our
selves forgetting old scores. old
hatreds and sntipathies, and for
the WnlIe, AT leHSt, we are IIltll'W-
ed and enriched by freshened i'm
pulses that lead us to deeds Of gen
crosby. 1t IL curious thing to note
the change that comes over natures
hardened by stern experiences when
once this Christmas season rolls
round again. Perhaps no one has
expressed this more strikingly than
Charles Dickens in his Christmas
Carol" That "old Marley is dead
and that his hardened partner
Scrooge is experiencing the STRINGS
OF old and fner impulses is more
than a bit Of fiction; It Is the recital
of a universal experience, and 1t
reaches it's supreme climax in the
words Of Tiny Tim. wherein he says.
God bless us, every one! 1t IL this
kind Of recognition OF world-inclusive-
ness, this desire for the greater fell
lowship Of all men, that Is the inspira-
ton and hope of the Christmas sea
son. The wonder of It all is that we
restrict It to but one limited period in
the year. II we can so broaden our
horizons and deepen our sympatbies
and express our generosity on one
day in 3s5, why can we not carry 1t

shown no decrease in numbers.
Whether they have or not remains to
be seen. Time alone will tell. 1t was
scarcely more than four decades ago
when buffalo hunts on the Western
plains were held from transcontinen-
tai trains and even the neophyte at
big -Eame sport might bag several fine
animals without leaving his seat. 1t
did not seem sportsma Mike even TO
many of the rather poor sports" Of
those days. especially when experts"
declared that there were just a. many
buffalo as there ever had been and
that nothing could make serious In.
roads on their myriads.
True enough, the total number OF
bison killed showed practically no
diminution throughout the late sew
entities and the very early eighties.
Then, all OF sudden, the bottom
dropped out. Instead OF the vari'
Gus vast herds Of the past. 1t
was discovered that there was but
one. an ever-diminishing herd. con-
stantly surrounded by hungry Indians
and by ruthless whites. AS long as
there were any buffalo in appreciable
quantities. they were comparatively
easy to get. They became almost ex-
tinct practically within year.
Reports from the Kenai Peninsula
indicate that the great. Alaskan
moose are as thick as domestic cattle.
1t is to he hoped that the estimates
Of caribou and Of moose and OF other
remaining desirable animals are accu'
rate, but in view OF past history 1t is
very doubtful IL this be so. Within
the memory of many thousands now
living, ornithologists and biologists
declared the determination Of the pas
senger pigeon absolutely Impossible.
The last survivor of this interesting
species died of old age in 1914. The
buffalo vanished almost overnight. A

addendum: 1T must be frank in say
ing, however, that many inquiries
have come to me concerning him and
see more or less general interest
in the possibility Of his becoming a
candidate" Which ts truly modest
and is good strategy.
1t Is undeniable that Democratic
leaders who are not committed TO
the fortunes OF the two principal
prospective candidates for the nomi-
nation are casting about for somebody
to head off both of those booms be-
fore the Spring Of 1898. They have
about fifteen months in which to find
their man. The chances are that
they will find several OF them in that
time and that there will be large
field at the convention. wherever 1t
is held-which will not be New York.
Gov. Donahey is in a strong posi-
ton. He Is well located geographi-
cally. He has the prestige of two
elections as governor. He Is not
identified with either Of the contend
ing factions. He would probably fit
any platform that the party may
adopt. And, perhaps, with a realiza-
ton of his present advantages. he is
adopting precisely the right attitude
toward the nomination to win the sup
port of those who feel that neither
Smith nor McAdoo can win under the
two-thirds rule and against the dis
Of the protracted fight OF
1924. 1t is not to be suggested seri-
ously that Gov. Donahey's modesty
toward the nomination was prompted
by a pessimistic measurement of the
chances of election. No possibility"
could by any chance permit the
to prevail that he regards
nomination as merely an honor with
out fruits.
