Plan· for the rebuilding include a relocation of street· in the burned district, and the creation of a park out of a part of the area. The city ordinance· bave also been amended, establishing a fire district within which no wooden buildings may be erected. Moreover, in that district not only are wooden buildings prohib ited, but the buildings of other material must be constructed according to certain rigid rules, which will make them about as nearly "fireproof as any that can be found in the large cities. One of the "economical" methods of the state government—not original with the present administration, bow ever—which might well be reformed, is the announcements sent out by the agri cultural department to the press and of ganizations and individuals interested. Possibly it is cheaper to put out a muddy ■mooch of hektograph or aome other kind of 'graph copy than it wonld be to print it, but the man who get· the un readable thing doesn't appreciate the saving of those few cent·. The monthly report of State Auditor Stevens shown that since the first of January the net debt of the state has been reduced $205,502.00. But don't be mistaken or deceived. That reduction was made, not by this administration, but by the revenues provided by former administration·. At least four measure· will be submit ted to the voters of Maine for their de ciaion on the second Monday of Septem ber next. Beside·* the prohibitory amend ment, two other proposed amendments to the state constitution will be voted on. One of these increases rhe debt limit of cities of more than 40.000 population to 7 1-2 per cent, and the other fix»· the capital of the state at Augusta. In addi tion to these, the Davies direct primary bill will be voted on at the sams time. There is nothing as yet to indicate that any of tbe measures passed by the legis lature this year will be subjected to a referendum, but there is still about six weeks of tbe time left. An agent of a Boston wholesale liquor house is quoted by the license organs as saying "with engaging frankness" that be is entirely satisfied with tbe present law in If aine, and does not want a change. Meanwhile the organs of the liquor in terests are reiterating in cold type with the same engaging frankne«s, that the opportunity now offered in Maine to deal a death blow to prohibition is one which must not be lost. Which view is it rea sonable to take? Do yon believe that liquor dealer* want prohibition ? The explanation of this paragraph from tbe Colebrook (V. H ) News and Sentinel is that Colebro»k has just gone from no-license to license: Do we need a policeman? Well, we ehouM »ay •o We hope those who helped to make our town a license town were satlsfled with their endeav ors, ou the let day of May. They started In well. Several successive years of light rain fall bave made a serious reduction in tbe water supply of a c >naiderable part of New England, indeed, of the whole Northeast, and it i> feared that the present drought is going to produce conditions which will be at least inconvénient and awkward, if not dangerous. Even the St. Lawrence River, which is subject to only vary slight fluctuation, is said to be three or four feet below its usual level at this season. Not Historically Accurate. As appreciation of Senator William P. Frye, from the New York Globe, was Eblished in the Democrat recently—at »t, that part of the article which was properly appreciation was published. The Democrat, however, omitted a cer tain portion of the Globe article which professed to relate how Senator Frye might have been nominated- for vice president on tbe ticket with Garfield in 1880, but for Mrs. Frye. As the story went, Mr. Frye was away from home fishing when a telegram from tbe Republican national convention asked if h· would accept the nomination. He could not be reached by wire, and Mr·. Frye for him declined the honor. Tbe trouble with that story is that Mr. Frye was a member of that very convention, and made one of the speeches seconding the nomination of Blaine. One Maine paper has called attention to this, but the story continues to go the rounds of the other Maine papers, even at Senator Frye's home city. Movement Commanda high Respect. (Portland Sunday Telecram.) Tne launching of the No-License movement in Maine as announced in the afternoon papers of the state yes terday gives a new impetus to the cam paign for the retention of the Prohibi tory amendment. Tbe men who are listed as members of the active and ad visory committees in opposition to the abrogation of the amendment are men who command the respect of the people of the state. It ia noteworthy that men affiliated with all parties arrange them selves together in defense of the Pro hibitory policy in Maine. Men high in politics in all parties, together with men high in tbe business world volun teer to take upon themselves the dudes of an arduous campaign, for the mani fest reason that they believe that the policy which has been in vogue in Maine for so long should be retained. It is probable that no such liât of name· could possibly be secured in this state for any other cause than that which these gentlemen represent, and it augurs well for tbe success of that cause that it has backers so substantial and influen tial. Senator Frye la said to have written friends In Pasadena, Calf, that he will go there at the expiration of his present term and speed his declining years there. Be state· that he i· impelled to do this because of the fact that Sx-Sen ator Edmunda of Vermont live· ia Pasa dena aad because other· of hi· friend· are planning to go there. Tbe letter I Β « on to state that tbe Maiae statesman ' ι ks forward with torn dread to what ί is left οI his term. "I fear the results of 1 the strain we will all be subjected to, bat ι hope to reoover after I reach your annoy ι olty near the mountains." I THE OXFORD BEARS.

Curtis and family have re turned to their home in this village from Welchville, where they have been living during the winter. Pari· Hill has been extremely fortu nate in the matter of fires but it got a tire scare last Friday that will not soon he forgotten. A forest fire that started west of the Rumford road in the valley west of the village spread rapidly by the stroug wind blowing at the time directly toward the village. A general alarm was sent out and a very large force o( fire fighters was soon on the spot but not until considerable damage bad been done in the woods and the fire had made quite a headway in the lower orchard of the James L. Chase farm now owned by Kimball C. Atwood of New Tork. Burn ing cinders and smoke filled the village to the extent that the roofs of buildings were wet down and several persona packed up household goods preparatory to moving out. The people of Paris Hill feel very grateful and take this means of extending their thanks to all those who came to the rescue when the place was in serious danger of destruc tion. Dr. and Mrs. Charles L. Aldrich are making improvements and additions to their house to provide apartments for Mise Ella M. Clark, who lives with them. Philip Mason and crew began building Jarvis M.

There came near being a serions fire at Robert Davis' last week, as several acres of grass land was burned over, but the timely help of the neighbors stopped it before it got into the woods. It is not known how the fire caught. Mr. Case is having his buildings painted which ho bought of Albert DeCoster. Guy Bennett was with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bennett, a few days last week. Alfred Daniels is soon to put men into the woods which he bought of Perley Ripley to cut the wood and pulp. Will Daniels of West Minot turned a large herd of young stock into Alfred Daniels' pasture last week. Qreeowood. Tbe run of suckers mentioned last week occurred a night or two later on, and several square meals of that kind of fish were enjoyed. Were hardly aware how dry it is until digging some poet boles yesterday; no wonder forest and city fires are raging wherever an opportunity occurs. Our sympathy goes out for unfortunate Ban gor; and since the city is built at the junction of the Penobscot and Ken'ius Iceag rivers, why were there not better facilities provided for extinguishing tires'.' A reservoir of sufficient capacity and supplied with plenty of hydrants, would have saved millions of property and a number of live·. (Soie by editor.—Io some of the stories of the Bangor fire it was said that "hundreds of streams" of water were being turned upon tbe confiagra tion. Whether that statement is literal ly true or not, there is no doubt that there was plenty of water, and as good a system for fire fighting as in most cities of tbe size. When a conflagration gets a start, under such conditions as existed at tbe time of the Bangor fire, nothing less than a big river of water will stop its career.)

Ιο othera, ao great was the heat, valuable records and other thing· were destroyed. Among the vaults which proved defeotive was that in the post· office, which, built under government 1 supervision, was found to be grossly Im perfeot in conatruction, and everything In it was lost. Its contenta included 1116,000 in stamps, about $1,000 in cur rency, and the registered mail, the amount of which is not yet known. Among the records which were lost though in vaults were those of the Oreat Northern paper Co. and the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad. Bath Times: While olearing bis pas ure of dead branches and brush last June, William H. Gould, a farmer living on the old post road, a mile and a half from Bowdoinbam, lost a gold case watch. He afterwards made a very careful search of the field, but failed to find the lost timepiece. While crossing the pasture one day last week It occurred to Mr. Gould to make another search for the watch. He dropped down on his knees and began to pick away the leaves. He orept along only a foot or two, when hia band and his eyes lighted on the watch at the same instant. He could scarcely believe the revelation. Thinking that the worka were probably ruined, Mr. Gould atarted turning the stem-wind of the watch, and waa surprised to notice that the spring was firm. The watch baa since run quite evenly, apparently none the worse for its 11 months out of doors. Hon. James W. Brackett of Phillips, chairman of the Inland Fisheries and Game Commission, is at work upon a plan for dividing the State into aix or more diatrloti for the purposes of bring ing about a more effloient warden service and doing away with faults of adminis tration. The diatricts will not follow county lines, but will rather be fixed by water sbeda and other natural bound aries. He proposée to place each district under the direct aupervision of a chief warden, who will have charge of all the wardens on duty there. OnTv rarely will wardens from one district be tent into another. The chief wardens will be selected from among the older wardens of proven efficiency and worth. They will protwbly receive slightly more pay than the regular wardens, but it is ex pected that they will effect certain econo mies, which will more than eliminate the Increased expense. , SAVED CHILD FROM DEATH.
