CALAIS, a city of Washington county, Maine, U.S.A., at the head of navigation on the St. Croix river (the international bound ary), 12m. from its mouth. It is on Federal highway 1; is served by the Maine Central railroad and is connected by bridges with St. Stephens, New Brunswick, across the river. The population in 1920 was 6,084, 1,426 foreign-born white; 193o, 5,470. The city stretches along the river for 14m., in a wide and picturesque valley. It is a port of entry, a trading centre for a wide area, and a resort for summer tourists and sportsmen. The manufacture of boots and shoes and the canning of blueberries are growing in dustries, replacing the lumbering and shipbuilding of former days. At Woodland, 11m. W., is a large paper-mill. Near by are quar ries of red granite, from which large shipments were made before the growth of the cement industry cut down the market.

The first permanent settlement was made by Daniel Hill, a lumberman, in '779. In 1789 Massachusetts sold the entire site of the present city for $4,000 to Waterman Thomas, who bought it as a speculation. The first sawmill was built in 1802. The city was chartered in 1851.

On their arrival with the Argo nauts (q.v.) at Salmydessus in Thrace, they liberated their sister Cleopatra, who had been thrown into prison with her two sons by her husband Phineus, the king of the country (Sophocles, Antig one, 966; Diod. Sic. iv. 44). According to another story, they de livered Phineus from the Harpies (q.v.). They were slain by Heracles near the island of Tenos, in consequence of a quarrel with Tiphys, the pilot of the Argonauts, or because they refused to wait during the search for Hylas (q.v.) . Legend attributed the foundation of Cales in Campania to Calais (Silius Italicus viii.
