60th CONGRESS. (Continued from Page One.) members believed the lower figure would ultimately prove correct. Since that time some of the commissioners have found that a considerable saving can be made from the lower estimate, which warrants them In placing the entimated cost at nearer fcOO.OfiC.OOO than a higher figure. Various reasons are given for the in creased cost. Including wider and longer locks than those proposed by the board of engineers, a greater quantity of exca vation than estimated by the board, an Increase in unit ptdces anfl higher prices for labor than ihos* thought adequate by the board. That board estimated that the locks would cost l»ss than t40.b00.0W. whereas; the present commission thinks it will be; between I62.0CO.OOO and to',000.000. with a still greater Increase- of 10 per cent, if the locks are further widened as proposed by the navy department. EXPLAINS THE DIFFERENCE. Fowler Says Aldrich Bill is Emergency i Measure, His a Re-organization. Washington, Jan. 10.—At a meeting of the House banking and currency committee, which was very generally attended today. Chairman Fowler, V J., explained at length the currency re-organizatlon bill, which he recent ly Introduced and which was referr* 1 to his committee for use as a working basis on which to formulate a bill. Fowler discussed his bill as distin guished from the Aldrich bill In the S*-nat»\ arguing that while the former contemplates the complete re-organi z&tion of national bank currency on the basis of credit-guaranteed nou s secured by national bank assets, the hitter is an emergency expansion I measure purely and provides for tne issue of currency on such general se curity as the bonds of railroads, coun ties and municipalities when approved by the secretary of the treasury. Numerous questions were asked of the chairman by members of the com- j mittee, which although they did not provoke a general discussion, showed to some extent the various attitudes of members toward the Fowler bill. PUBLIC BUILDINGS BILLS To Number of Over 600 Introduced And But Few Can Pass. Washington, Jan. 10.—"The 60th Congress has been in actual session only a few days and more than 600 bills already have been introduced for the expenditure of **0,000,000 in pro posed public buildings. If 20 per cent, of that total Is appropriated during the present session the people of the country may consider themselves lucky.” The foregoing statement was made today by Chairman Harthoidt of the House committee on public buildings and grounds. Chairman Harthoidt organized h?s committee today by the appointment of various sub-committees. All bids for the purchase of grounds and the erection of public buildings in the New Kngland states will he passed upon by a sub-committee, of which Rep. Hur leigh of Maine is chairman. DINNER AT WHITE HOUSE Followed by a Musicale, Given by President and Mrs. Roosevelt. Washington. Jan. Hi.—'The President and Mrs. Roosevelt gave a dinner at the White House tonight followed by a musicale to which a large number of guests were Invited. The dinner was given in the state dining room and the table decorations were pink and white carnations. Mrs. Roosevelt's dross was of white chiffon, trimmed with lace and blue silk. Protection Urged For Our Forests. Boston. Jan. 10.—The interest of the officials of the great textile mills of New Kngland in the proposed national forests of the White mountains and the Southern Appalachian mountains was conclusively shown by a meeting In this city today, called for the ex press purpose of taking some effective action In support of the bill recently introduced in Congress. It resulted in the appointment of two representative committees of the manufacturing in Forint'r Governor Frank W. Rollins of New Ilamjiuhlre presided. In stat ing the object of the meeting he siinl that it Is generally conceded that there are few questions of (greater im portance to New England than that which affects the equable flow of the four grout rivers, running from the White mountain region—the Connec ticut, the Merriimie, the Saco and the Androscoggin. These rivers, he said, taking their rise In the White Mountain country turn more spindles than any other streams of equal volume in the world while the undeveloped waterpowers are of vast importance for the future Attention was called to the fact that bills to secure the establishment of national forests in the White moun tains and the southern Appalachian: had been before the last two Con gresses. At the last session the bill passed the Senate and received fa vorable report to the House from the committee on agriculture. A new bill has been introduced in the Siith Con gress and the campaign in its support has now opened. Charles E. Stone oi Stone Webster.

Household Remedies. There is no remedy in the world which has proven so popular for catarrh as Peruna. It hfts been used for more than thirty years and cured thousands of cases, as proven by our testimonials. In the early history of this country every family had its home-made medi cines. Herb teas, bitters, laxatives and tonics were to bo found in almost every i house, compounded by the housewife, No appeal was taken. Mr. Washburne furnished bonds for his appearance from day to day until he ran settle up his business.

In Many Cases Ability on the Diamond Runs In the Family. Thoro is no denying ti-o fart that there is a baseball germ in the blood. Lot oik' man from a family start out as a professional player, anti his broth ers, if ho has ary. are almost sure to follow iii his footsteps. They don't always make good, but in many cases they have done so. and the history of the game brings to mind many sets of brothers who are earning a fair livelihood in the various leagues of the country. The Delehantys are the best exam ple of this “family" baseball, and it is doubtful if ever again there will be found six brothers capable of “making good" as did the sextet that learned tlie game on the back lots of Cleveland. Ed, tiie original Delehanty. was the best of the bunch, and none of his relatives ever will equal him as a fielder and batsman, but all five of the younger brothers are pretty good 1 players, at that. Tom Delehanty made good with sev- oral fast teams and was a prime fa- 1 vorite in the West. He has now re- 1 tired from the game. Joe played with the minor leagues for several years. 1 but last season batted his way inti* I the National League via the St. Louis Cardinals. Jim is also a big leaguer, 1 playing with Washington last year, while Frank was in the American for a couple of seasons, but Is now rele gated to New Orleans. Willie, the youngest of the lot. was with Mans field last season in the fast O. and P. League, but jumped that club and is un der -suspension. All the “Dels" can bat. while most of them are far from being “shines” in the field. Next to the Delehanty family comes the Donohue aggregation. “Jiggs" is with the Chicago Americans, while the Boston Americans have drafted Catch er Pat from Portland, Ore., and In fielder Frank from Springfield of the Central League. Will Donohue plays second base for Evansville in the same league. There have been several sets of three brothers in the game. Amos Cross was a star with Louisville two decades ago. while Lave and Franlc followed him into the limelight. Lave was a star for many years, while Frank lias held I liis own in the minors. Three Stovalls are playing profes 1 sionally. George is Cleveland’s first baseman, Jesse, formerly a pitcher for Cleveland and Detroit, now plays ir. 1 the outfield for Louisville and Sam. the youngest, is with San Antonio, Texas. Three Bannons also made bids for fame, Tom, Bill and Jim. Tom and Bill were major leaguers for a few years. Bill last year was an O. and P. League umpire, and is one of the best goal tenders in roller polo in the. 1 country. lie has offers to umpire in the American Association next season. The Clarkson family has the honor of turning out the most and best 1 pitehers. John Clarkson was the peer ot them all in his day, while Arthur was above the average when in the National League. Walter, a Cleve land pitcher, shows flashes of the abil ity which made his brothers famous. Then there was the Ganzel family— Charley. John and Joe. The former 1 was a mainstay behind the bat for the old Dctvoits and Bostons, while John has been a big leaguer for years. Joe never got out of the bushes. To revert to the beginning of base ball, brothers are found in the game prominently. The Wrights comprised the first family to become famous. George and Harry Wright were among the founders of the game. Then came tiie Mansels—Mike and Tom— tlit Whites—“Deacon Jim," the catcher and third baseman of Detroit's Big Four, and Will, the pitcher who used to wear glasses, and the O'Rourkes— "Orator Jim" and John. Jim was by far the most famous of the two and is still in the game, although close to sixty years of age. His son is play ing on the same club in the Con necticut League. Pat Tebtau. the scrappy manager of the Spiders, and George Tebeau. the warring minor magnate, are brothers, as is well known, Pat being the better of the two. "Long John" and “Buck" Ewing composed about the best brother bat tery’ that ever lived. Both of them are now dead. Elton Chamberlain was a mighty good pitcher 15 years ago, being tile only man in the big league who used either arm in delivering the bail to the bat. and his brother "Wiggs" pitched fairly good ball for the Buffalo club. The two Bergens, Marty and Bill, are "ell known as good catcher', Marty bolus one of the best that ever threw down to second base. Coining down to more modern times are found the two Knolls. “Huh" anil “Punch." The former is now dead, while “Punch" was only recently a member of the Washington club. “Kid” Gleason, one of tho best inflekl ors in the business, started as a pitch er, has a brother Harry, who played with Boston, Columbus and St. Louis and is now in the Tri-State League. He was a fairly good player, but lacked big league class. 1'he Cargo brothers were midgets. Both “Chic" and “Bobby” are well known to the minor league fans throughout the country. Hans Wagner, the mighty slugger of the Pirates, has an older brother. At. wao has made good with various clubs of the Kastern League. Fred Clarke's younger brother. Josh, will have a triad, with Cleveland next spring, having5 made mighty good in the American As sociation. Jesse Tannehill is one of the star left-handed pitchers of tho country, while his brother Lee is second to none as a. third baseman. Both Hinchmans. Harry and Bill, played with Cleveland last season, while Jake Thielmnn has a brother, Henry, who is considered a pitcher above the average minor leaguer. Kddie Plank's younger brother, Ira, is to break into fast company in the spring as a member of the Yankees, while Frank Chance is going to try out Eddie Walsh's kid brohter. Martin, as a pitcher. Ty Cobb of Detroit lias a brother, Harry, who is a comer, hav ing played last year in the Michigan League. He will be seen in faster company next season. To offset these there are a lot of younger brothers who looked like lem ons beside the members of the family who did acquire fame on the diamond. Henry Mathewson is not to he compar ed with his brother Christy as a tlinger, while Joe Connor is a rank counterfeit when compared with his brother Itoger. Pitcher "Bed” Donahue has a brother Tom, a catcher, who fails to shine. Other players who had brothers with baseball aspirations and who failed to make good are “Topsy” Hartsel, Tommy Leach, Eart Moore, Cy Swaim ^nd Elmer Flick. GENERAL SPORTS. Compulsory Physical Ed ucation Is Advocated. Frank Golch Will Retire at End of the Present Year. New Complications Added to the Athletic Tangle. Chicago, Jan. 10.—Professor Dudley A. Sargent of Harvard makes a unique plea for the uplifting: of college athlet ics and physical culture in an article on •Compulsory Physical Education," published in the January number of he School X.eview issued trom uie ['diversity of Chicago press yesterday ind advises that “no student should be dve.i lionors in his studies unless he las attained a certain grade in his gymnastics or athletics.” He draws the [•oiKlusion after criticizing- the position if college faculties which forbid stu dents. taking lionors in athletics until they have a creditable standing in their studios. "This requirement,'’ writes Profes sor Sargent, “would insure the con scientious student against sacrificing his health in view of raising his stand ing in scholarship, which at the pres ent time he is likely to do on account if the keen competition to which lie is subjected.” Hr. Sargent believes physical culture ind athletics should be included in the required curriculum “under the head if physical training.” He continues, “I should lie glad to see included all forms of physical activity, including nusic, vocal and instrumental, draw ing, painting and modeling, and all forms of mnnuel training, dancing, skating, swimming, rowing, bicycling, nilitary urill—all forms of calisthen ics, plays and the various forms of itliloiie sports.” Frank Gotch Will Retire.

Plainly! the Windy City must make a brace. Tli man who remarks that there is less ini rest in Sunday school than when he was a boy probably means that he takes less interest in that worthy institution than in the old days. The person who knows looks for the latest llcures and hero is what he hurls al the pessimist. The actual roils of Sunday schools now show 12.000.000 pupils, taught by 1,.''•00,000 teachers, at- tending k>4.0O0 Sunday schools. What, do you suppose, the dealer in flittering generalities can reply to that? Tho sudden death yesterday ot t'.corgi R Kvans, vice president and general manager of the Maine Central, come.-; as a shock to the people of our State.

The Aldrich Bill. The Waterville Sentinel vigorously criticises the financial bill reported by Senator Aldrich, and also criticises the Kennebec Journal for, as it alleges, endorsing the bill in question before "it had even been formulated;” All this is not surprising as the professed business of the Sentinel is criticism. Its columns reek with grouch and growl from issue to issue. The in I tolllgent people of Maine fully under stand this fact, and hence the con stantly lessening influence exerted i.y the Sentinel. To read it is to laugh. It Is needless to say that the feentinel would not have approved any bill re ported by the Aldrich committee, for the simple reason that it never per mits Itself to approve anything that j emanates from Republican sources. It j was only waiting for the appearance j of the measure whatever it might.be j to make use of its editorial sand bag It must be admitted that a financial measure is peculiarly easy to criticise, j for the reason that three is no phase j of government concerning which there is a wider range of individual opinion. I The present Congress was fairly buried j in financial bills at the opening of the session, and it was evident from the first that any measure calculated to 1 afford needed elasticity to the currency 1 in crop moving periods, and other i times of special stress, must, in the i ■_ 1, f Inec r.f n compromise. The Sentinel certainly strains very hard in its effort to find a basis of criticism for the Journal, j and for Congressman Burleigh, when I it tinf the treasury, affording a vastly wider range of security for currency than has ever before been provided t-iuler the national got cm* j „H-r.i. Th. Journal would have been glad to have seen this measure go fur ther. Tt has never seen any objection j to a properly guarded asset currency. I and it believes that any measure de signed to bring about elasticity in the I currency might safely provide for an emergency currency to the amount of j $500.000,000. There are however many good citizens in both political parties who believe that it is best to move cautiously in legislation of this char acter, and to err. if at all. upon the side of conservatism. If the Aldrich hill u ill provide lor an emergency cur y „f ^50.000.000 as its promoters claim that it will, it certainly affords a substantial safeguard to the cur rency In future crop moving periods, and other times of special stress. That I amourt of rvliof lost K*tobf*r would j probably have averted the money stringency, and rendered unnecessary the issue of Clearing House certificates I which were used to meet and tide over the situation. We should be very glad to see the Aldrich bill given a considerably broader scope, a result which may jet be brought about by amendment to its present provisions. If. however, this cannot be accomplished fair-minded men. who are not engaged in the work of perennial criticism for political ef fect, will admit that a measure which provides tor an emergency currency of $250,000,000 will be a very distinct ad vance ever the existing laws, govern ing the finances of the nation. The. Sentinel declares that the bill reported by the Senate committee "does r.ot appear to suit anybody. We rennhiisb elsewhere comments from some of the strongest new spapers in the country, including the Demo cratic Washington Post, which the I Sentinel has been wont to quote with approval, which show that our es teemed Waterville contemporary is mistaken in this view of the situation. Th“ presidential boom of Lewis Stuyvesant Chanter has evidently given cattempt to peck its way out of its shell.

Chicago which usually loves big fig ures finds pleasure at last in some of a different kind. In 1906 there were 92,761 arrests in Chicago for felonies, misdemeanors and violations of city ordinances. In 1907 there were 57,490 arrests for the same character of of fences, a decrease of 35,271, or about 38 per cent. In New York in 1907 there were no fewer than 207,000 arrests, or almost four times as many as in Chi cago. Tite Chicago newspapers find in these figures conclusive proof that their city is an angelic community, while New York papers say that the figures only demonstrate that the New York police do their duty and that Chicago is a safe haven for crooks.

(Philadelphia Press.) Senator Aldrich and his Republican associates on the Senate Finance Com mittee have presented to the Demo crats on the committee, to the Senate and to the country a measure which meets the one need made most clear and most visible during the financial convulsion of October and November. It is now known that the “currency famine” of the period was neither a figure nor due to the banks. Western and rural banks, by drawing on tlieir deposits in reserve and central reserve cities, doubtless made the stringency more strums, but this was not all. The national banks directly lost $1D6. 000,000 of lawful money, hoarded by in dividuals. The proof is clear and unan swerable. The national banks had on August in specie and legal tenders, lawful money. $701,61:3,333. On De cember 3. 1007, they had $608."84. 737. This was a direct loss of $40. 1,36.706. In the same period there was $75,530,000 of gold imported. Pe tweeti August 33 and December 3 the Treasury increased its deposits by $79. S88.968. Here was an addition in gold coining to Nf-w York and lawful money deposited in the bunks by ttie Treasury to the amount of $155,418,068. In the same time the banks lost $td.S38,796. During this period in round numbers $106,000,000 disappeared from the na I tionul banks alone. In addition, the New York trust com panies lost $13,000,000. The national banks a'.so took out during this period, September 1 to December 1, in new cir culation, $53,161,533. This disappeared without adding to national bank cur rency holdings. Since December 3. $33, 970,000 has been imported in gold, mak ing total gold imports $109,500,000 since last August. If all these be added to gether. the enormous total is $304,000, 000 of currency, in gold, legal tenders and national bank notes, which has been added to the circulation outside of the banks and hoarded by individuals during the last four months. Two thirds of this is known to have flowed through the national banks. The rest has gone directly to individuals as gold was imported. A "currency famine" was inevitable. The surprise is that it was not far worse. Under this drain the wonder is lapsed. During this crisis banks need ing money with good securities took them to the Clearing House Commit tee and obtained Clearing House certificates to such amount as the committee deemed wise. If these se curities were of the grade laid down by the measure, a standard close to the Massachusetts Savings Bank Act, a bank could under this measure take them to the Comptroller of the Currency and on his approval obtain notes to the amount of per cent, of their market value. This adds a measurable amount of elasticity to the currency in circulation during a stringency. It does not add as much as an asset currency, hut no proposition for an asset currency could possibly pass the present Congress. The proposed measure does no accept as vide a range of securities as did Clear ing House committees. This new circulation would pay q tax of fi per cent, a year, besides of 1 per cent, yearly on that secured by per cent, bonds and 1 per cent, a year on currency secured by bonds of a higher rate of interest. Clearing House cer tificates pay 6 per cent, interest. Practically, the Aldrich bill takes the present Clearing House machinery in a crisis and used only in a crisis for tin* issue of Clearing House certificates and places it primarily under the control of the Comptroller of the Currency. Banks with securities such as are required can go to him and get currency. This cur rency will be payable by the United States, a part of the tax providing this. This circulation can be issued to tlie amount of $250,000,000, or about $50, 000.000 more than the drain on the na tional banks. This should be adequate. It is more of emergency currency than Germany lias ever needed twice over. The issue will he prompt, because it is carried on through sub-treasuries. It can lie is sued at any time. It does not call for the slow action of Clearing House com mittees. delayed in New York a week after certificates were needed, causing several failures. A better bill could doubtless be draw n. There never was a currency measure of which this was not true. But no better measure can be passed and Congress should pass this without delay. Senator Aldrich's Bill.

The senator would have f a currency board eojnposcu of th«* secre-• I tarv of the treasury, the* controller oi j the currency and the treasurer of the; United State::. These officials would de- termine when the emergency bed arisen! to warrant the issuance of this emergency j currency, how much was required and how it should be allotted. There would be little dange r of inflation, tor the pro- posed tax of fi per cent would take nwav most of tel: profit attending the issue j Possibly there would he so little profit that rianv of the banks would not care j to handle it at all.

Had this $2^.000.0)0 been available dur ing the recent crisis, it might have kept tha w heels of industry greased .until th hoarded inor.ey came out again, hut any issue of the kind can be regarded onlv as a temporary measure of relief. The Senate Currency Bill. •Brooklyn Standard-Union.> The Senate Committee on Finance has got ahead cf the House Committee on; Banking and .Currency in introducing a currency bill designed to provide in ad vance means of averting the currency famine, which is always a feature and often the chief evil cf a readjustment of values suc h ns led to a crisis last October. The advantage of oeing first in the field will of course be pressed, and Congress man Fowler and the advocates of asset currency will b" placed upon the defen sive.

The compromise bill is based on the general policy of allowing a clearing: house association to issue tem porary rotes n the basis of municipal, state or possibly railroad bonds, the notes to l)e guaranteed by tie* treasury, but to b* taxed heavily enough to make certain their retirement when no longer urgently needed. Since- the outline of the bill was published in these columns, the fact has become plain that the bill will be crit icised in some sections of the country, on the ground that it does not go far enough. When tlie bill comes up in Congress there is likely to be strong pressure to change tin* measure so. as to allow other security than bonds to serve as a basis? for the emergency circulation. Possibly the com promise bill stands for the best that car. be offered, at present, for the .support of all sections.

Maine Democrats look askance at the movement to organize a branch of Hearsfs Independence league in this State. The Waterville Sentinel un corks a vial of its choicest sarcasm over G. Langtry Crockett’s advertise ment for “a man in every town in the State to represent the league." It is the Sentinel's notion that to be ef fective tlie advertisement should con tain an announcement of good wages paid to first class men. Hut of course tlie leaguers will be above mercenary motives and ready to give their ser vices for the good of the cause. An Outsider's View. (Ilelfast Journal.) Professor Frederick \V. Cord of Svl vania, Penn., who recently made a trip through Maine doing farmers" institute work, has given his impressions of the agricultural features of the State in a communication to the New York Trib une Farmer. Many of The Journal readers’will be interested in what this scientific agriculturist from Pennsyl vania has to say of the Pine Tree State. One encouraging feature noted is that "many of tlie people are awakening to the fact that tracts of younff growing timber possess a rapidly increasing market value.” Ho notes the absence of large dairies, the decline of the sheep industry, and finds that pigs hold a very minor place. "Tile few to be seen aro usually kept in the barn cellars, where they work over the manure which is These methods do not seem wise to Hie hog raiser, who believes that the hog is a grazing animal and should have the free run of a good pasture.’* Professor Cord finds that the two products which seem to stand out most prominently in Maine agriculture are potatoes and apples, and says that the great potato region of Aroostook county is an eye opener to the man who has never seen it. He tells of his visit there, of the. methods employed and of the success attending potato raising in other sec tions of the State. While the apple industry reaches no such proportions as the potato industry. Prof. Cord finds that the returns to those engaged in it are fully as satisfying. He says: "The cool northern climate produces fruit of line quality, high color and excellent keeping qualities. Wild trees grow in the greatest abundance in many parts the State, thus showing tile adaptability of the soil and the climate to this fruit. Summer and fall varieties ripen so much later than in souther# New England and New York that they must have the market largely to themselves.” "Taken all in all, Maine offers an excellent op portunity for the apple grower. One gentleman who bought a farm upon which was a badly neglected orchard reports that for the last five years this orchard, under intelligent care, has paid a return of 39 per cent, net on the cost of the whole farm. Little wonder that lie was looking about-for another orchard to buy.” Considering the Mote. (York Transcript.) Perhaps the chief reason why the week of prayer has fallen into such comparative insignificance is because mi'll and women no longer talk sincerely or freely of their own soul needs and aspirations. Most of us are so busy nowadays in exposing the frailties of, our neighbors that we haven't any time left to consider our own spiritual needs. i Things Are Brighter. (Somerset Reporter.) The comptroller of the treasury gives a sensible view of the recent financial panic, stating that the con ditions’which made this crisis possible are the accumulated composite re sults of many years of business. The whole world has been overtrading and expanding and nowhere has it been more rampant than in the United States. The reaction was inevitable. But from every portion of our coun try comes the welcome news of a re turn of the. good times we have so long enjoyed. l#et the grumbler and thy fadltfinder enjoy each other's society, but the men of cheer and hope will go forward with buoyant spirits and elastic steps. Tho Spirit of Winter. The Spirit of Winter is with us. making its presence known in many different ways—sometimes by cheery sunshine and glistening snows, an^ sometimes by driving winds and blinding storms. To many people it seems to take a delight in making bad tilings worse, for rheumatism twists harder, twinges sharper, catarrh be comes more annoying, and the many symptoms of scrofula are developed and aggravated. There is not much poetry in this, but there is truth, and it is a wonder that more people don't get rid of these ailments. The medi cine that cures them— Hood’s Sarsa parilla—is easily obtained and there is .abundant proof that its cures are radical and permanent.

Digesto Coffee Digesto Coffee is coffee made digestible by refining it. Digesto Coffee is not a substitute for coffee. It is coffee, but coffee made medically harmless and digestible. The injurious effects from coffee are due to the presence of tannic acid and an excess of caffeine, because they are both poisons. These have been removed from Digesto Coffee by refining it.

During the year 12 meetings have been held by the board in the eight counties which contain unincorporated townships of wild land, in conformity with the provisions of Section 9 ot Chapter 8 of the Revised Statutes, and in addition several hearings at the State assessors' office at the Capitol. Under the provisions of Chapter 93 of the Public Laws of 1907. registers of deeds in each county containing wild lands are required to transmit to the Board of State Assessors a certified copy of the record of transfers of wild lands or any portion of such within 10 days after suoh record is made. This requirement of the law is being fully complied with and these records will be of great assistance to the board in perfecting the descriptions of su"h tracts and in designating the several owners, and also to a considerable ex tent in making an intelligent estimate of tne just value of the same. Under the provisions of Chapter 212 of tlie Resolves of 1907. the board has secured the services of several compe tent men to make explorations of wild land and as a result has had seven townships explored, containing a total acreage of 149,012 acres. For this serv ice the explorers have been paid a total sum of $1,202.50. These explorations will be continued more extensively during tlie coming year. A summarized state ment of tlie expenditures made during the year under the provisions of the •esolve referred to will accompany this report. During the coming year the board \ili hold meetings in every county of the State, which will be attendul by he boards of assessors of the cities, owns and plantations of the State, for he purpose of securing information to ssist the board in making the proper lunlization which we are required to "port ns the basis of State and emin y taxation for 1000 and 1910. Tiles' leetlngs will be most important from he fact that the prosperous conditions •lilcb have existed in our State during he past few years have made marked hangrs in the conditions and property aluations of many of the municipalt Vs so that an extensive inquiry is lost essential. The total valuation of he cities, towns and plantations for ’S97 as returned by the municipal 'oards of assessors was S2Sl.S76,S0t and ’or the present year *354,316,848. a gain d $72,640,047 inlO years. The increase n the two years past as shown by •imilnr returns Is $25,080,921. a greater ’ain than has ever been shown in a. ike period during the history of our State. The corporation taxes assessed by 'his hoard in 1897 were S602.91S.43 and VI IffUl lull C urril ‘hat the annual revenue of the State 'ront thin source is $1,004,067.79 (treater •han it was 10 years aero. While we may not expect such rapid prepress in valuation and revenue during the next few years, we believe the State will -ontinue to prow and prosper. Our ag ricultural interests are on a substan tial basis and well manaped. Our great variety of manufacturing industries are conducted by progressive and far sighted men and our growing financial institutions are now. as in the past, carried on under most careful and con servative management. The past of our State is secure, and the 'future is full of promise. H. H. Bryant of Waterville was in this City on matters of business Fri day.
