California heads the States in the number of women legislators ? now having three. son of Brlc the Red, who nailed froYn Greenland to Labrador and down the coast of Maine. The next probable voyage to this const was by John Cabot In 1407 and later by his son Sebastian. It was, however, Capt. John Smith, the leading spirit of the settlement at Jamestown, who sailed as far north as the Penob scot and first drew a. rough chart of It. In the grant by James I to the Plymouth Colohy Maine was Included In their territory. Op position to the Plymouth Colony arose among the king's courtiers and Sir Ferdinando Gorges and Captain Mason succeeded in ob taining for themselves rights to the country between the Merri mac and Kennebec rivers. This they divided, Gorges taking the northern Bectlon. Meanwhile Gorges had sent over a small col* ony to the mouth of the Kenne bec, but this settlement was soon abandoned. The first permanent settlement was made lo 1626 at what is now Tork. Massachu setts objected to Gorges' claim ? and finally annexed all the terri tory up to Casco Bay and called rhls northern section the District of Maine. Maine was dissatisfied with the rnle of the mother state and by 1820 succeeded in being admitted to the Union as the twenty-third state. Maine was the first state to adopt prohibition. In the begin ning Maine wae strongly Demo cratic. It was largely for thia reason that ehe objected to be ing ruled by Massachusetta which was Federalist. Since 18A6, however, Maine has be?n decidedly Republican. It has etx electoral votes for president. The name Maine was so desig nated in the charter of 1630 In which Charles I granted this land to Gorges. It had already boon commonly used by the sail ors as distinguishing the main land from the many islands along the shore. The nickname for the state is the Pine Tree State.

Mr. McMnhan's body showed had burns, but there was no mark of viol ence on Mr. Boflt, although the indica tions were that he had writhed on the ground before dying. The pumping station is operated by a 2, 300- volt cur rent and the s imposition Is that Mr. McMnhan first came in contact -with electricity in some way, and that Mr. Holt, coming to his rescue, was also electrocuted.
