Bar Harbor people very generally felt the loss of the genial engineer, Porter Smith, of the Maine Central, who had been in charge of the engine room of the Maine Central boats for so many years, and had such a host of friends all around this locality. He always had a smile and a hearty greeting for everybody he knew, and he knew about everybody in the county. He was one of the most efficient and faithful men on the route, and that is saying a good deal.—Bar Harbor correspondence Bangor News.

Chief Engineer Boy J. Goodwin and about twenty of the Ellsworth firemen are

guests to-day of the Rockland firemen. They made the trip to Rockland by automobile, leaving here this morning at 3 o’clock in five cars. Near Green Lake at a

narrow turn in the read, before daylight, one of the cars went into the ditch and turned turtle. Fortunately none of the occupants were injured. Those in the wrecked car piled into the other automobiles and proceeded on their way. The damaged car was towed back to Ellsworth this forenoon. The damages to the car

are comparatively slight. The enjoyment of the concert at Han-

cock hall lust Thursday evening was seriously marred for the occupants of the gallery at the left of the stage by two

young women who seemed wholly devoid of the sense of common courtesy; throughout the evening they kept up an

almost unbroken fire of whispering, utterly regardless of the annoyance they were causing. So unendurable was their conduct that three of their neighbors J left the gallery and took seats on the

floor, while nine others changed their seats to other parts of the gallery. But neither the changing of seats nor scowls

phased them, and they continued their disturbance to the end. It is gratifying to be able to say that neither was an Ells- worth girl, though one is employed here; the other \6 a summer visitor.

An alarm for a lost child, sounded on

church and lire bells, awoke Ellsworth at

midnight Monday, and started out a num-

ber of searchers. Elizabeth, the nine-

year-old daughter of William Nye, w*as

the innocent cause of the alarm. She had

spent the afternoon with her grandmother at the city farm, and left there after 6 o’clock to walk to her home at

Grant’s corner. It was a long walk for the little one, and by the time she had climbed Bridge hill, darkness had over-

taken her, and she was tired and crying. Lewis A. Joy took her into his home. She said: “Mamma won’t be worried if I

stay all night, for she told me I could

stay with grandmother.” But mamma

learned by telephone that the little girl had started for home, and then the worry began, and the bells woke up about all

Ellsworth, except little Elizabeth, who

slept peacefully in the Joy bed.

Wrecked at Little Cranberry Isle. Southwest Harbor, Aug. 16 (special) —

The two-masted British schooner Arizona, bound from Rockport for Plympton, N. 8., in ballast, was wrecked last night at 1 o’clock at Marsh Head, Little Cranberry isle. She will be practically a total loss.

Capt. Thibodeau was twelve miles east of Baker’s Island light, and in trying to seek shelter at Southwest Harbor, lost his

bearings in the rain and darkness. The

patrol from Cranberry Isle life-saving | station discovered the vessel’s plight, and the station crew went to her assistance, as

did the revenue cutter Woodbury, which

happened to be in Southwest Harbor at- tending the wrecked steamer Norumbega. The cutter was unable to haul the Arizona off the rocks. She will be stripped.

Norumbega Floated. Southwest Harbor, Aug. 20 (special)—

The steamer Nor mbega, which has been on the ledge at Clark’s point since Aug. 12, was floated to-day by the Scott Wreck- ing Co., at high water.

The steam tugs Orion and Confidence easily hauled the Norumbega off the ledge when everything was in readiness. The steamer does not appear to be badly damaged.

HENRY E. DAVIS DEAD.

Ex-Mayor of Ellsworth and Promi- nent Business Man.

Henry E. Davis, one of Ellsworth's best- known business men and an ex-mayor of

the city, died Monday evening, after an

illness of only a few days. Henry E. Davis was born in Surry March

5, 1869. Two years later his father, the late

James W. Davis, was appointed register of deeds for Hancock county, and moved to Ellsworth with his family. This city had been the home of Mr. Davis ever

since. As a young man he entered the carriage

factory of his father, and learned the

business from the ground floor up. In

1880, with his brother, W. H. Davis, he

purchased the business, and it was con-

tinued under the firm name of W. H. &

H. E. Davis. A branch factory was estab-

lished at Bar Harbor. In 1889 the partnership was dissolved,

Henry taking the business here and his

brother the Bar Harbor business. Mr. Davis was beyond question one of

the ablest business men in Ellsworth. He

developed the business to large propor- tions, largely through the great success of the Davis buckboard, designed by him

and now known the country over.

In 1897 Mr. Davis was elected mayor of

Ellsworth. He gave the city one of the j most business-like administrations it has

ever known. Serving in the dual capacity of mayor and street commissioner, ac-

cepting the latter oflice without pay, Mr.

Davis inaugurated the era of better roads

and sidewalks in Ellsworth. It was under

his administration that the first concrete

sidewalks were laid on Main street, and

new’ impetus given to the building of

crushed-rock roads. Mr. Davis was prominent in lodge cir-

cles, being a commandery Mason and

Shriner, a member of Dejok lodge, I. O.

O. F., and Donaqua lodge, K. of P. He

was a most companionable man, a rare

raconteur, with an appreciation of humor

that was contagious. Mr. Davis leaves a widow and two

daughters —Mrs. J. A. Bryant, of Sharon, Mass., and Mrs. Franklin E. Gregory, of Phillips Beach, Mass. He is survived

by two brothers—Dr. Frederick A. Davis, of Boston, and VV. Howard Davis, of Bar Harbor, and one sister—Mrs. Abby Par- tridge, of Boston.

The funeral, private, will be held at the home to-morrow forenoon.

COLSON’S BODY FOUND.

Drowned In Green Lake Nine Months Ago.

The body of Arthur E. Colson, of Ells-

worth Falls, who was drowned in Green lake on November 22 last, together with Sheriff Webster, Deputy Sheriff Finn and

Joseph Clough, was found Monday after-

noon.

The body was found partly submerged on the western shore in Northeast cove, near what is known as the carrying-place, above Camp Comfort. Ralph M. Holmes, who discovered the body, went to the fish j hatchery and telephoned to Coroner Har-

ry C. Austin. Mr. Austin went to the head of the lake

on the afternoon train, and with Capt. Horace F. Lord went to the spot as described by Mr. Holmes, and recovered the

body. Coroner Austin deemed no inquest

necessary. The body was brought to Ells- worth and interred at Juniper cemetery yesterday. ___________

Prayer Meeting Topic For the Weofc Boginning Aug. 25, t?'Z

Tople.—Missionary progress Is Boats America and the islands— Acts 1st, IS-sa Edited by Rev. Sherman H. Etoyie. IX IX

South America sras settled by the Latin races and. tike them, has, from the time of European settlements, teen largely Roman Catholic. But the type of Christianity to be found in the countries of South America is far from satisfactory. It has produced a

life that to far below the standard set up by Christ Grossest Immorality is everywhere prevalent Superstitions more ignoble than thoee found among heathen nations abound. Great igno- rance exists and implacable hatred to

Protestant missionaries which has j caused them to undergo great bard- ships and bitter persecution. Mission- j ary heroism is often portrayed, and few missionaries in more distant lands have been called upon to suffer greeter personal afflictions. But these dis- couragements have not halted the work. Marked progress is being made, especially In Brazil, Colombia and Chile.

Brazil ta the largest and most thick- ly populated of all Sooth American countries. The people are separated from those of other states by distinct racial and linguistic peculiarities. The area of Brazil is over 3,000.000 square miles and the population more than 20.000.000. It has the largest negro population of any state in South Amer-

ica. One-third of the population Is white, one-fourth negro, one-half Is

mixed blood—white, Indian and negro —and the remainder Indian. The prob- lems of such a population are many and varied, yet they are being solved by the devoted and consecrated missionaries who labor among them. "Missions In Brazil have recently been greatly re-enforced. New opportunities have opened up on every side, and the life and work of recent years have been eventful. There has been a won-

derful advance along all lines." In Colombia and Chile, as also in

Brazil, evangelism and education have been especially emphasized The Co- lombia mission has doubled Its missionary staff, and the work feels the thrill of a new hope and purpose. One of the most encouraging features of the work in Chile is the spirit of evan-

gelism among the churches. A large number of volunteer workers are ever

ready to do their part with entnusiasm in the spread of the gospel among their fellow countrymen. Many pastors have classes in Biblical instruction to pre- pare these workers for faithful and efficient service.

The principal Protestant denominations at work in South America are

the Methodists, Baptists. Presbyteri- ans. Episcopalians and Congregation- alters. While the missionaries honor the distinctive features of their respec- tive denominations, yet they work to-

gether in true Christian fellowship and. above all, strive to spread the simple guspe! and to lead men to

Christ. Missionary work in the islands of the

Pacific has been most snccessfnl. Ha- waii. the Fijte and the New Hebrides are practically Christian. Such canni bal islands as the New Hebrides, the scene of the wonderful labors of John G. Paton, have become examples to more distinctive Christian lands. In New Guinea great difficulties have made great progress iir Possible, but in the Philippines remarkable advance- ment is being made.

South America and the islands of the Pacific are more and more occupying a more important place in the world's history. The Industrial life of Soutf America is making rapid strides. Closer political and business relations with the United States are inevitable. The opening of the Panama canal will enhance their importance and power. The church must be awake to its opportunities and be prepared to enter

every door that is opened. At such a

time especially South America needs our sympathy, our prayers, our gifts.

The 150 societies with their 6,500 members in the Telngn area of the south India union recently held the first Telugu Christian Endeavor con-

vention at Ramapatam. This Is the first convention held for all the Telu- gus and only for Telugus. The speaking was conducted almost entirely in the native tongue.

The 300 delegates traveled an ag- gregate of 19.000 miles to reach the convention city. Some came ten miles, some 400 miles. Two distance prizes were offered, writes Henry Huizinga, one for the society farthest away that sent delegates and another for the society that scored the largest mileage by multiplying the number of miles by the number of delegates. A

society at Kurnool captured both prizes. One delegate who traveled 390 miles never bad been In a train before.

One society of 120 members came In ■ body to the convention.

In Ireland. One result of the Chapman meetings

in Belfast, Ireland, is the formation of • society in the Balmoral Industrial school. One hundred and fifty boys have expressed a desire to become members. The boys conduct the meet-

ings themselves, and the time Is too

Twn* a quaint old corner enpboard My friend unlocked one day,

Where the choicest bits of china Were safely laid away;

And 1 wondered each things of beauty Were hidden thus from sight.

Things that were surely msde Por use aod our delight.

But she said: “They are sll too precious. Too fragile for daily use.

Too fragile for careless touches. Too frail for the least abuse;

We can keep them here in safety, Shut in from dust and dirt,

Shut in from meddlesome fingers. Prom augbt that can harm or hurt.

“But when on some festal day We bring out the brighest and best.

Then we carefully take them away And place them among the rest;

And their beauty shines so bright It certainly does stone

For all the many days They are shut in here, alone.”

Then I thought of the darkened rooms.

Where so many are shut away From the pleasures and joys of earth,

And the cheerful light of day. The Master may think them too precious

For the crowded walks of life, So he keeps them safely hidden

From its troubles and its strife.

But when at the feast to come

He gathers his jewels bright. He’ll place tbesu honored of all,

Where they'll shine in Bis glorious light. Their names be will proudly own.

For they're g» own to His heart so dear. Is it surely not proof of His love.

His keeping them “shut in” here? —Selected by Aunt Smma.

Dear 3d. B. Friends: 1 am going to have a little informal

chat with you this week. Some way it seems as though the M. B.'s had been all about me the past few days, 1 hive seen

and heard from eo many. H. O. B. has returned from Maeaachu- I

setts, and we hope this year to have her with us at the re-union. We are sorry to :

hear that Jennie is very poorly. Two

years ago, when we gladly welcomed here | at Deli's, she was in poor health. A friend i wrote Dell that Jennie is now at her

daughter's in Bar Harbor, tide sends her ; love to all the M. B’s.

I enjoyed a nice visit from idora last week. Calls also from Dell are pleasantly j remembered. 8be saw Sadie, who has j been ill or pdbriy for months.

I hope “An Old Subscriber'' will not discontinue The American because the M. B. column isn’t run entirely to bis or !

her satisfaction. Let me see; has this same subscriber sent letters or clippings to * add to the interest of the column?

Now Aunt Emma comes with her words of good cheer:

_

West Fbasxux, Aug. 15, 1912. Dear Friends of the M. B. C.:

Do not think by my long silence that I have forgotten yon all. Oh! no; far from it. Thought 1 would send a line to let you know- how your good letters and poems have helped me in some of the trying times. There seems to be a special message for each one and especially the invalids. And do you realise that there have been a g eat many among us

in the last year? I do hope all are very much j improved by this time. I went out yesterday afternoon and made two calls, so feel quite | encouraged.

I expect all are planning for the reunion. 1

1 only wish 1 could be with you, but my mind will surely be there on that day, and hope the number will be larger than ever before, and the day will be perfect. 1 am sending a

special poem for our shut-ins”. It was so

nice 1 felt I wanted every one to read it, as I know it will help them on their way.

Will now leave you, with love and best wishes to all. Aunt Emma.

Dear Aunt Madge and M■ B. Sister*:

I have promised myself many times the past month or two that the next week 1 would write something for the M. B. C. 1 have decided that I do not keep promises to myself very well.

Some weeks Aunt Madge has more than her share of the work to do. 1 am inclined to think that she is too indulgent to her nieces. Per- haps if she should scold them a little occa-

sionally they might do better. I was very glad to see a letter from “Janet” once more. I was much disappointed not to see her at the W. C. T. U. convention. 1 hoped that I might be able to go.

The annoucement of the death of Mrs Margaret Bansgter came to me first through the M. B. G. To me it was a personal loaa. for I have always read her writings with pleasure, and especially “her page” in the Christian Herald. 1 was always sure to find something interesting and helpful there.

One of her poems, “Our Own”, was sent by B. E. 8. for the column a few weeks ago. I think it one of the dearest little poems that was ever written, and it will doubtless be read and appreciated by generations to come as much as it is by us now.

I have often thought that I would like to have some of the choicest of the many beautiful poems which have been selected for the M. B. C. collected together and published in book form. It seems to me that it would make a most acceptable gift-book for Christ- mas or any other anniversary. What do Aunt

SEA COAST MISSIONS.

Jrigin axul Growth of this Work in Maine.

’By Her. H. W. Collins, of Deer Isle. I

in these days of modern and efficient net bods, when the gospel car and motor

boat have superseded the old snail-going primitive days of missionary endeavor, it is worth while to study the development in coast missions, not the least of which

is the good work being accomplished in

providing religions privileges to the light- bouses and remote settlements from

ûoddy Head to Kittery Point. The self-sacriflc and consecration of the

noble men who founded and developed the Maine sea coast missions is again brought to our attention by the death of Uapt. George W. Lane, of Malden, Mass., which occurred at his summer home on

Sebasco island, Portland, July 26, at the

age of seventy-seven years. After serving four years in the navy

during the Civil war, this man of vision, snd one of the choicest spirits among men, conceived the idea of patrolling the

coast and carrying the gospel message to

places deprived of such privileges. Mr. Lane had recently experienced conversion

and was filled with the desire to help his

fellow men.

This inspiring genius of this branch or

mission work began bis labors in May, 1880, using for the purpose a twenty-foot sailing sloop. His first services were

rendered gratis, but later friends of the effort recommended him to the American

Sunday School Union, and under the

auspices of that society he served upwards of ten years, establishing his missions at

Friendship, Muscocgus Island, Little Deer Isle, Outer Long Island and other

points, thus doing a constructive work to be developed into churches.

About the year 1890 Capt. Lane was

transferred to the Congregational Sunday School Publishing society, continuing his

itinerary to the coast settlements until the

year 1900, when, through ill health, be was

forced to retire from active labors. To Capt. Lane we owe the inspiriation

of the present Maine sea coast missionary work. The people of Outer Long Island

petitioned the Maine Missionary society for a preacher to supply them, and the

society responded by sending Alexander P. McDonald, then a (student at Bangor theological seminary. Mr. McDonald, during his pastorate at Outer Long Island, was led to take up the coast work and thus continue the missions Capt. Lane had organized, employing a motor boat for his journeys. Mr. McDonald’s con-

secrated labors in this good cause are well known to the people of Maine, and to him

belongs the credit of developing this work. At the present time a well-equipped

yacht about seventy feet in length, with motor power, is used by Missionary Mc- Donald. Capt. Lane, to whose genius we

owe the inspection of this grand enter-

prise. spent much time during the years of

his retirement from active work, in mis-

sion work among the islands of Casco bay. Simple, impressive funeral services were

held at his summer cottage on Be banco is-

land, where 200 friends gathered out of re-

spect to this friend of the people. The remains were taken to Deer Isle for inter-

ment. Capt. Lane is survived by his wife — Mrs. Lucy A. Lane, and two daughters— Flora, wife of Emery C. Noyes, of Detroit, and Miss Cora Lane.

Men of the type of Capt. Lane, who

blaze the way for# better conditions of

living, though their work be forgotten, yet, they being dead, are still speaking. They serve well their generation, and their works do follow them.

TRACES OF OIL IN HANCOCK COUNTY.

baNcjor man writes as TO possi-

bility OF OIL HERE IN PATINO

QUANTITY.

JFrom the Bangor Commercial.!

A home opposition to the Standard Oil company—some people say so, and there

la a large majority who pooh-pooh at such

a proposition. For several years rumors

of oil being found in Aurora bave been

common. Small vials of a dark-colored

oil with a disagreeable odor have been

exhibited in Bangor ny different parties claiming Great Pond andi the town of

Aurora as being the location from which it came. While there has been more or less

mystery connected with these reports, the

writer, on December 37, 1909, wrote to

Frank K. Mace, of Great Pond, concerning these reports. The following is s copy ol his reply:

ClBKAT Post), Ms. Jan. 15,1900. Mr. Cyrus >. Slackpolt, Bangor, Me.:

Your letter of December >7, 1009, st band, tusking inquiries in regard to oil In the town

of Aurora. There is more or less oil In different tracts of land in Aurora, as the springs and brooks are covered with s scum st some

times of the ysar, but I don't know how much the percentage is.

Any Information I ean give you will be

cheerfully given. Yours very truly.

Fsass E. Macs.

It would seem by Mr. Mace's letter that

an investigation was invited and that he

would have no trouble in showing the

goods. Herbert A. Wentworth, night ticket agent at the Union station, Bangor, in 1910, informed me a short time ago that

be had located the place where oil is to be

found; that Mr. Cunard, a carpenter and

builder of Bangor, who bad me4e nume-

rous trips to Aurora, was soon to go with

him: he ha.1 seen the oil and it was surely petroleum. Al. Bachelder, st that time

with the Fwiroanks Hardware Co., has a

sample of ibis oil given him by Aurora

people. Even the farmers of that section

claim that st certain times the smell of pe-

troleum oil is very pronounced. CONDITIONS FAVORABLE FOR OIL.

Now let us conside.' the conditions fa-

vorable for petroleum deposits iu all coun-

tries as shown by oar leading geologists, and see if we have any formations or indi-

cations like those found in Aurora or vi-

cinity to warrant any investigations meaning an investment of several hundred

or JXMMUDiy IDOUMDQ dollars.

A smell of oil by the farmers or a bottle of oil purporting to come from this dis-

trict does not absolutely denote that paying “oil zones” can be reached. Our best

authorities claim that while the presence of oil under ground can be proven by drilling, certain indications favor the ac-

cumulation of petroleum. Oil is found in large quantities in strati-

fied or sedimentary rock such as sand-

stone, shale and. limestone. Some dis-

tricts are rich in fossils and organic mat-

ter, such as the remains of fish, crus-

taceans, seaweed and diatones. Diatones are microscopic plants in some water, Urge beds of infusorial earth or diatom-

ous earth beiug made up of hard salifer- ous skeletons or cases. For aminifers, are

miniature salt water animals which build cells of lime and have contributed largely to the formation of limestone.

Bitumen may also be found in this

strata. The larger the thickness and the

more abundant the organic remains, the larger may have been their possibility as

sources of oil. Bituraous matter is being widely distributed, while accumulations of petroleum are relatively rare,and fossils

may abound in regions where oil does not

occur. The same might apply to coal.

The character and position of the strata

must always be taken into account, for

even though the original sources were more

than adequate, oil can accumulate only where the conditions are favorable; evi-

dently, there must be porous beds to act as reservoirs, impervious barriers to con-

fine the oil and cause for the migration of

the oil from ita source. The porous beds

must consist of such material as sand, gravel, sandstone, certain limestone and

zones of fractured rock, while wet shale, clay and fine-grained sand and sandstone

saturated with water are probably among

the^most effective barriers against the pas- sage of petroleum. Owing to the move-

ments of the earth’s crust, folds are com-

mon in strata, and these folds may either be in the form of arches, when they are

known as anticlines, or they may occur

as troughs, or synclines. Rocks may be

dry or full of water, and petroleum, being lighter than water, naturally accumulates above the water in the same strata.

Consequently, where rocks are over-

saturated with water, the oil, if present, will be found in the anticlines, or in the

level portions of the strata. In dry rocks, on the other hand, the oil may be at or

near the bottom of the synclines or in

beds which do not slope sufficiently to

overcome friction, while in porous rocks partly filled with water the oil iB apt to

accumulate just above the water, particularly in level parts of the strata.

Among the surface indications of petroleum are oil springs and seepages, asphalt deposits, gas jets and outcroppings

of bituminous strata, while in some places burnt shale occurs.

The soils of the carboniferous forma* tions are usually poor when the sandstone —or shale—forms the surface rocks, but when the mountain limestone of the sab- carboniferous age is at the surface, soils of, remarkable properties are the results, their grazing qualities being unequaled. The renowned bluegrass of Kentucky supplies the best evidence of the fact.

CONDITIONS IN AURORA.

Now let us see what we have to offer for indications in Aurora and vicinity. North and northeast of Aurora, in the town of Greenfield and townships No. 39 and 40, are found beds of argilaceous shale, tilted and bent in all shapes, impregnated more or less with large and small amounts of carbon. Some have claimed that thiB shale contained more or less oil. At all events, I have seen it burned by the use of a forced draft.

No sandstone, but occasionally a con-

glomorate — commonly called pudding stone—is found.

A few fossils of a fern nature are found in this location, sand and gravel in abundance, and in one section a blue-black slate. East of Aurora, No. 29, and southeast in the town of Beddington are fouud large deposits of infusorial earth, while here and there in the sidehills, more or less liraerock of a mountain variety. It has been said by some that salt springs have been found on the southern boundary of 29. Mr. Haines, now of Aroostook county, once a stage-driver on the old air- line stage, operated from Bangor to Calais, claims that on the eastern end of the horseback — so called — he found a salt spring.

Large beds of gravel and sand of a dark- colored nature are found in abundance, and further east and southeast are found tableland districts, apparently once lakes or ponds. The soil is of a sandy, loamy nature, underlaid with gravel and clay.

The finding of petroleum oil in paying quantities in any section of our domain would mean much to the people of this Htate—a healthy home opposition to the Htandard Oil company, which has a capi- talization of 110,000,000, paying 40 per cent, dividends, as a factor in our future welfare.

Maine has a Siate mining bureau, object and purpose not appreciated or un-

derstood by our Maine people. The State geological commission has been aban- doned for reasons best known to Gov. Plaisted. Our people are not mining people, unless in a«case where “distance lends enchantment” and fabuious profits are promised.

Our banking laws are not adapted to the development and promulgation of our

many mineral deposits of merit; the same

applies to our grazing and agricultural possibilities.

When oup bankers realize the importance of fostering our mineral and agricultural possibilities now dormant, there will be a change, the wheels of progress will start, our mineral deposits w ill have a value. Over one million acres of farming and grazing lands will be peopled with a new people; new cities and towns will be established; then, and not until then will Maine become a producer instead of a consumer.

DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY.

Interesting Statistics Compiled by the Lewiston Journal

[From the Lewiaton Journal, Aug. 10.] It will probably be an amazing revela-

tion to the voters of Maine when they read the tables of figures printed below, and the recapitulation derived from the same. These figures are taken from the books of the state treasurers for the years 1906-1912 inclusive, and we believe are cor-

rect in every respect. When the voter, who has been hearing

for more than two years the tale of re-

markable financial economies effected by the present democratic administration) reads these and learns, for instance, that the Plaisted administration has received from the people of Maine more than two and one- half millions of dollars in excess

of the receipts of Governor Fernald’s ad-

ministration; over f3,900,000 in excess of the receipts of Governor Cobb’s second ad-

ministration, and over f4,000,000 more

money than the receipts of Governor Cobb's first administration, he will very properly ask where is the vaunted econ-

omy and what has become of all these millions.

Here are the figures as taken from the books of the Btate:

Will receive from direct State tax of 1912 about. 350,000 00

$4,629.223 36

(This last estimate is based on

the fact that of the State tax of 1910,' $871,606 77 was received during that year, and of the direct State tax of 1911, $373,- 076 84 was received during that

year, so $350,000 is a fair estimate.)

Amount to be received by Gov. Plaisted’s administration from direct State taxes and from franchise taxes. $8,511,049 62

RECAPITULATION.

Receipts of Gov. Plaisted’s administration. $8,511,049 52

Receipts of Gov. Fernald’s administration. 5,930,208 06

Gov. Plaisted’s administration receipts exceed those of Gov. Fernald’s administration.... $2,580,841 46


Receipts of Gov. Cobb’s second administration. 5,152,303 31

Gov. Plaisted’s administration receipts exceed those of Gov. Cobb’s second administration. $3,358,746 21


Receipts of Gov. Cobb’s first administration 4,382,825 99

Gov. Plaisted’s administration receipts exceed those of Gov. Cobb’s first administration $4,128,223 58

The appropriations made during the ad-

ministration of Governor Plaisted exceed

those of any other two years in the his-

tory of the State of Maine, except for two

years during the Civil wrar. The demo-

cratic administration orators will reply to

this by saying that their large appropriations were made necessary by a deficit, as

they say (see treasurer’s report 1911, page

40, et aeq.): “Bills outstanding Dec. 31, 1910, amount to $757,811.19.” Was it good business to increase taxation $2,580,841.46 in order to meet unpaid bills to the amount of only $757,811.19? Does this not

show that the democratic administration failed to deal fairly with the situation for

partisan effect? Have they not wilfully

overtaxed and overburdened the people in order to make a show of financial gains in order to appeal to the public in a political campaign.

In 1910, the burden of their cry was that the Fernald administration had raised the appropriation of eight millions. The Piaisted administration has exceeded the Fernald appropriation by a large sum, and has exceeded the appropriations of Qov. Cobb’s second term by over two and a

half millions. When met by this fact they say: “We have returned more to the

people for schools and roads.'* This is exactly the same rejoinder that was

made by the republican party two years ago. The voter then refused to listen to it. it was as true then as it is now, and it was as conclusive a reply then as it is now. The Piaisted administration took about |8,500,000 out of the people; the Fernald administration took about f6,000,- 000 out of the people. The sum is enormous

when we come to consider that not so very many years ago the entire appropriations of the State did not much exceed two million dollars. If this be so, where then is the much vaunted economy of this admin-

1 istration? The fact is it has simply pulled the

shekels out of the public pocket, both by direct and indirect tax, to an amount never before known in Maine, except under the stress of the Rebellion. With an expert tabulator especially employed in the auditor’s office to make the figures, with a secretary of state, who passes a

good part of his time addressing democratic rallies for the purpose of expound- ing these figures, and with an attorney- general to follow after echoing the same

line of talk, the public has been misled to a large degree regarding the so-called savings of the present administration. Almost anybody could save if he had two and a half millions more income.

And finally, in addition to all this the

republican administration of 1909-10, with two and one-half million dollars less in-

come, spent one million dollars for permanent improvements. These permanent improvements now stand as additional assets. They include the reconstructed state capitol, additions to insane hospitals at Bangor and Augusta, additional lands

purchased for hospital purposes, the Highmoor farm in Monmouth, the Home for Feeble Minded at Pownal, and many other pieces of property, either required by legislation of previous sessions or else demanded by extraordinary exigencies in 1909.

The present democratic administration has not spent $20,000 in permanent improvements. It has not made a success of its road construction, having built neither systematically, wisely nor well. We believe that where it claims to have shown savings, such savings are at the ex-

pense of service and will only entail far

greater expenditures in years to come to

repair damages being done by this administration.

In short, when fairly and honeBtly an-

alyzed there is nothing to the democratic claim of economy except that they have taxed you beyond all reason in order to make a show for political purposes.

Ziba A. Gilbert, at one time member of the State board of agriculture, and for

many years editor of the Maine Farmer, died at his home in Greene last week, at the age of seventy-nine. Death resulted from a shock.

Wintha R. Palmer, for the past three

years instructor in horticulture in the

college of agriculture, University of

Maine, is shortly to leave the State and go to Perdue university, Lafayette, Indiana, where he will be connected with field work and later as instructor in the line followed out in Maine.

Ephraim Howe, aged ninety-one years, died at his home In Calais Aug. 13. Mr. Howe and his son Samuel, of Calais, had the unique experience of fighting side by side in the old 9th Maine regiment in the Civil war. He was a man of remarkable strength and endurance. His life work was river-driving and stevedore work.

Nearly $15,000 worth of property went

up in smoke as a result of the severe electrical storm in the vicinity of Bangor last Wednesday night. A herd of thirty- one dairy cows belonging to George W. Smith, of Hampden, were lost in a fire caused by lightning, which destroyed the farm buildings of Benjamin Cole near

Hampden. The loss is $10,000. The house and buildings of Reuben Dickey, at East Orrington, were burned at a loss of $2,500.

; There was an $800 loss on the barn of

Wesley Priest, at North Bucksport. The New York freight steamship Caro-

lyn, of the Bull line, which went ashore on the end of Metinic Island on January 25, wras floated last w’eek, after three months of strenuous efforts, and after the abandonment of the steamer by previous owners. With her cargo of 1,100 tons of

paper and 30,000 bushels of potatoes the steamship was worth $250,000 before the accident. After it was decided she could not be floated, the vessel and cargo were

sold at auction to Charles E. Bicknell, of

Rockland, for $910. Considerable of the

cargo was removed and the .wreck was

sold to a Portland firm of junk dealers, who in turn sold her to W. B. Johnson, of Boston, the present owner. She w*as

towed to Rockland after being floated.

“I Kin Work It.” A busy Lawrencian recently added a telephone to the modern im-

provements at his home. He has four happy children, all of them young, to whom the ’phone was new and who regarded it with awe. One of the kids is a boy of four. He watched the older people call up ’•Central" and communicate with frieads at distant points and yearned to do likewise.

His mother chanced to be absent from home for an hour or so on a recent afternoon. The other children were out somewhere. He was alone. For a half hour he watched the telephone, then climbed up and took the receiver of the ’phone off the hook just as he had seen older people do. By that time he was trembling, but his courage was as

strong as chilled steel. “Humber?” he heard a sweet voice inquire. For a moment he was

startled, but he conquered a desire to drop the receiver and run and shouted bravely, “I want my pop!”

“Central” must have recognized the voice as that of a child. She promptly inquired, “Who is your papa?”

The little fellow knew enough to tell her, and it was but a matter of a few moments to ascertain the number of the busy Lawrencian’s business ’phone and connect the four-year-old.

Hello?” answered the busy citizen, turning away from a desk overburdened with papers and things.

“Oh, pop, I kin work it!” was the joyful little shout that answered him, and the busy citizen was just as proud and as pleased as the four- year-old at the other end of the line when the brief conversation ceased and the boy, obeying instructions given over the wire, hung up the receiver and awaited the home-coming of mamma to tell her of his con-

quest.— Lawrence Tribune.

The Vital Issue.

As the campaign progresses it is be- coming very clear that the vital issue between the two great parties is that of the tariff. Sball the republican policy of a tariff for protection, which over and over again has ac-

complished the object for which it was intended, and at the same time afforded adequate revenue, prevail, or

shall it be a tariff for revenue, only, which over and over again has brought disaster to merchant, manufacturer and farmer, and has never produced adequate revenue.

If this is the situation; if the national fight is as we have stated it, Maine must do her part. The State election involves more than State issues—important as those issues are.

Democratic success means the election of a democratic United States senator, and that means a vote in

Congress against Maine’s material prosperity. Democratic success

means the election of four congressmen, and that means four votes for free trade; four more votes against Maine’s material prosperity.

Can Maine afford to run this risk? How essential, then, it is that be-

fore voting the democratic ticket next month every voter should ask himself this question and answer it.

Here in Hancock county we have seven representatives and two sena-

tors to elect. Elect republicans, and that means nine votes in the legislature for E. C. Burleigh for United States senator—Burleigh, the tried, the true, the dependable, the defender of the protective policy, the foe of

reciprocity. Democratic suocess

means Gardner, the champion of the destructive policy of a tariff for revenue only.

Republican success means the election of four congressmen who will vote to retain the protective policy. Does Hancock county prefer this? If so vote for Forrest Goodwin, pro- tectionist, for representative to Con-

gress, and not for 8. W. Gould, free trader.

National issues are therefore nec-

essarily involved in this coming State election. Republican success in both are essential; in State to put out of business a party which in a year and a half has proved itself to be a party of broken promises, unkept pledges, assumed virtues; buncoed by its self-

appointed leaders, and helpless in their hands.

No situation in recent years so ap- peals to republicans of Maine as the

present one, whether from a national or a State viewpoint.

Shall Nullification Continue?

Sheriff Jettison either knows or he does not know that open liquor-selling is going on in Hancock county, especially in Ellsworth and Bar Har- bor. If he does not know it, he is blind to a situation which is perfectly obvious to everybody else, and there-

fore unfit to bold the office of sheriff. If he does know it, how does he justify himself?

We have very good reason for be-

lieving that he does know it, and that his justification is that public sentiment favors nullification; that be could close every saloon in the

county, including those in Bar Har- bor and Ellawortb, in three days if be started out to do so.

Who is Sheriff Jellison that he should pose as the interpreter of

public sentiment on the question of

liquor-selling? And even if his in-

terpretation is correct, by what

authority does he substitute his opin- ion for constitutional and statute law?

Sheriffs Mayo, Silsby and Webster

put a stop to nullification in Hancock

county; they swore to do it, and they didn’t qualify their oaths with an "if-

pubiic sentiment-as-interpreted by- me-doesn’t-prevent”.

Is Hancock county going to stand for this sort of thing? Are the re-

publicans who helped elect two democratic sheriffs going to stand for It? Are enforcement democrats going to

stand for it? True, Hancock county last fall

voted for taking prohibition out of the constitution, but it doesn’t follow that the county stands for nullification. A majority of the voters of this county are law-abiding citizens, and we don’t believe that they justify the

open defiance of the law which the

present sheriff is showing; if they do, an opportunity is offered them to continue in office a man who is openly defying law and public sentiment; if

they do not, they should vote for Mr. Silsby, who promised to enforce the

liqoor law, and who kept his promise, and who can be counted on, if elected, to put a stop to the shameless condition of things in this oounty.

We are authorized, in this connec-

tion, to state that Mr. Mason, the re-

publican candidate for county attor

ney, is wholly in sympathy with Mr.

Silsby on the enforcement issue, and if elected will co-operate with him in putting a stop to the present open defiance of law.

He Won’t be Governor Even. At Skowhegan last night Gov.

Plaisted said: “It I am elected governor again. I will not be sheriff or a

guardian of sheriffs. You people must elect men locally to enforce the laws, if you desire it enforced, or if

not, adopt some other eolation of the problem.”

Nioe talk that for a governor seek-

ing re-election. “Every sheriff for himself, and the devil take the hinder-

most; don’t bother me.”

A Noble I'tteranre.

It occurs to us that the finest sentiment so far uttered in this campaign comes from the lips of the second district successor to George Evans, William Pitt Fessenden, Hannibal Hamlin, James G. Blaine and William Pierce Frye: “Whosoever enforces the prohibitory law goes to political defeat."

It is a noble utterance and should be enshrined along with Michael T. O’Brien’s fearless advocacy of a bounty on dog-fish. — LeuHston Journal.

Those democrats who are so ter-

ribly exercised as to whether the re-

publican candidates are for Taft or

Roosevelt; whether they are for or

against reciprocity with Canada are

fast finding out. Elsewhere in this Issue may be found Mr. Goodwin’s answer to the “defi” of Waldo

county’s windbag. In that answer

may also be found the record ol Maine’s representatives and senators on reciprocity. What Mr. Gould has done, and what his republican opponent, Mr. Goodwin, will do on this

question, so vital to the farming interests of Maine, is clear. It’s “up to” the voters of the third district to

say who shall represent them in Con-

gress. _

The article on State finances, re-

printed from the Lewiston Journal, it a comprehensive setting forth of the situation as it really is, and is a solai

plexus blow to the inflated democratic

body politic; a complete refutatior to the blatant claim of democratic

economy. It’s rather long, but we

urge a careful reading of it. Right- minded democrats — and there are

lots of them—may well ponder ovei

the stuff the leaders of their party are handing out and expecting them to swallow in the vain effort to keey themselves in power.

The sudden and wholly unexpected death of Herbert M. Heath, of Au-

gusta, was a tremendous Bhoci

throughout Maine, and the profound- est sympathy goes out to his Strieker

family. None knew him but to love him for his charming personality admire him for his brilliancy of mind his bigness of heart, his scholarly at-

tainments, and respect him for hii

independence of thought and action The memory of him will be a precioui legacy to his kindred, his State, ant

wherever in the nation he was known

“Are you aware,” asks the Lewistoi

Journal, “that the Plaisted adminis

tration took from the pockets of the

people in State tax in the single yeai of 1912, more cash than Gov. Fernald’i

administration took from their pockets in 1909 and 1910, put together?”

GOODWIN’S ANSWER.

Where He Stands on Reciprocity and Presidential Preference.

Daring the meeting at Sears port iast

Friday evening, when the republicans held a very large rally, and while Mr. Goodwin was discussing the tariff issue, a gentleman arose in tbe audience and asked it he might ask a question. Sir.

Goodwin replied, “Certainly,” “Do yon stand for reciprocity with Cannda as proposed by President Taft?'*

As quick as a flash Mr. Goodwin re-

plied: “1 do not stand tor it. 1 believe it is a great danger to tbe State of Maine.

(Applause.) It was a mistake to advocate it, but Mr. Taft is not entirely responsible. Every democratic congressman from Maine voted tor it, and the two republican congressmen, Mr. Hinds and Mr. Guern- sey, voted against it. My opponent, Mr.

Gould, voted for it. It is now written upon our statute books; it isatill a burn-

ing issue in Canada, and while tbe Cana- dians rejected it iast year at their election, tbe two provincial elections held this year have been carried by the liberals upon this issue.

“If the liberals should return to power at sny time, and accept this agreement— there is a very great possibility that they will and that, too, at once-reciprocity would go into effect at once. It would diminish the value of every farm in Maine. It is a dark shadow over our

Maine homes. It is a menace to tbe

agricultural industry. It is a mortgage upon every farm.

“Congressman Gould and Senator Gard- ner have been down here in Waldo county during tbe last week. They have not said a word about reciprocity. While they were here, two attempts have been made in Congress to repeal reciprocity. They were defeated by the democratic House.

Congressman Gould was paired in favor of reciprocity; Senator Gardner the same.

“Instead of being in Washington look-

ing after the interests of their constitu-

ents, they are down here trying to explain to you the free trade doctrine of democracy, and why they, being in favor of prohibition, are running on a rum

platform. Let them define their attitude on reciprocity to the farmers of Maine. I

say to you, if 1 am elected I shall vote and work against it to the best of my ability. (Applause.)

1U11 1CSUB UIC IU «uuvuw piv^wiliuu. Senator Hanson, editor of the Waldo

County Herald, in yesterday’s paper had an editorial in which he states in sub- stance that next week be should publish an article showing that there was a grave possibility that there may be no election of President by the people in this cam-

paign, and showing how the constitution provides for such an exigency. He states that the present house of representatives, of which Mr. Gould is a member, may be

exactly tied, inasmuch as the vote is cast

by states, and the matter would go to the

Senate, but that the vice-president of the Senate would act as President only until such lime as Congress might be able to fill the vacancy, and therefore there might be a possibility of the election of President coming into the sixty-third Congress, and that inasmuch as Mr. Goodwin was likely to be a member of that Congress, he ought to inform the people whether he would vote for Taft or RooeeveJt, if the question should come up to him as a member of

; that Congress. | “I wish to thank Mr. Hanson for his kindness in assuming that I may be a

member of the sixty-third Congress. 1 shall certainly try my best to be elected. (Applause). Of course it is none of Mr. Hanson’s business as to how I shall vote between Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt. He lb a democrat and not interested. His sole

purpose in asking the question is to en-

deavor to stir up strife in the republican party between the Taft republicans and the Roosevelt republicans. The democrats would like to get us into a row before the State election, but 1 want to say to Mr* Hanson and his democratic friends that he cannot do this. To-day we are all republicans in the State of Maine, and we are

going to redeem the State with a united

party and defeat Governor Plaisted. (Applause).

only one chance in ten thousand of any such proposition as Mr. Hanson puts up to me as ever coming before me. It is almost absurd to suppose that the people will not elect somebody President; that the House will be a tie; that the vice-

president will not serve, or that some

legal luminary from nowhere iu particular would be able to change the constitution or add to the constitution so that the

sixty-third Congress would ever have to act in the matter.

“But Mr. Hanson thinks it would be

cowardly on the part of Mr. Goodwin not to inform the republicans of his district how he will vote as a member of that

Congress, and 1 am very glad to answer

him, although his language is more forci- ble than polite in making his request, and 1 say to Mr. Hanson and his democratic friends that when 1 take my seat as a

member of the sixty-third Congress, as 1

expect to, the republicans of this district will have voted in November for President. A majority of them will have voted for either Mr. Taft or Mr. Roosevelt. Of course, 1 should not vote for Wilson, as

he is a democrat, and 1 would rather have Mr. Taft or Mr. Roosevelt than a thousand free trade WilsonB. (Applause).

“And I say that if a majority of the re-

publicans of this district vote for Mr. Taft for President, 1 shall vote for him for President, if the question arises; and if the majority of the republicans of this district in November vote for Theodore Roosevelt, 1 shall vote for Theodore Roosevelt in Congress, if I have a chance, iGreat applause, cries of “That’s good”. “That’s fair.”)

“In other words, J shall vote as my re-

publican constituents in November in- struct me to vote. I shall leave it to the people to decide. (Applause.) I was nominated by Taft and Roosevelt republicans in a square tight in the primaries, and I believe I am going to be elected by the solid support of the republicans throughout the Rtate of Maine. (Ap- plause.)

“Again 1 wish to say to Mr. Hanson that if I am elected Congressman, I shall support the policies of Mr. Roosevelt or Mr. Taft, whoever may be President, earnestly, cordially and enthusiastically, but only so far as they are consistent with my judgment and my conacience.” (Applause.)

joyed an outing at lake Cobboaaeecontee Saturday. Early Sunday morning he suf-

fered another atuck, but rallied during the forenoon, and death came unex-

pectedly. Mr. Heath waa born at Uardiner, Aug.

27, 1863, and was graduated from Bowdoin college in tbe class of 1872. He Uught at

Limerick and Washington academies un-

til 5878, when he waa admitted to the bar.

He bad been in active practice amce. Mr.

Heath waa a member of the Maine bonne

of representatives in 1883 and 1886, and in

1887-8 waa a member of tbe Senate.

In hia law practice Mr. Heath waa en-

gaged in many famous cases, and ranked high in bia profsaaion.

He waa the author of tbe direct primary law now in operation in Maine, shaped moat of the street railway legislation now

in force, drew and offered the Brat ten- hour bill ever offered in the legislature, and waa constantly before the legUlative committee#.

He waa a candidate for the republican preference vote in tbe June primaries for I'm ted States senator, but wns defeated by former Congressman Edwin C, Burleigh. He spoke in Ellsworth during the primary campaign. __

and howl for resubmissios. How many times must the disappointed and law-

defying governor have resubmission before be can be satisfied that be is “licked”?

He owned it up, like a man, when be counted the votes last fall. Later on, when the democratic legislature denied resubmiaaion to the governor under the conviction that one most costly resubmission wss enough to satisfy the Maine voters for several years to come, the governor cried baby, and tried to back out under the false assertion that those who voted in favor of prohibition were igno- rant, and did not know their own minds —it was then that the Maine voters realized that the governor was trying to play unfairly, and to win by a palpable trick what he had lost through s fair snd open vote of the Maine constituency, counted sod openly declared by the governor himself.

Here is the case as it is placed before the Maine constituency to-day—as it will be until after the September election:

A fair-promising snd non-performing governor going up snd down Maine mak-

ing childish excuses for nou-enforoement, when he hsd pledged himself to s rigid enforcement.

A governor who begs and pleads tor more time, snd still more time.

A governor who frantically desires an-

other trial—for one more chance to re-

deem himself and bis pledges. A governor who hesitates between “I

would” and “I dare not”. A governor of

subterfuges and excuses and procrastina- tions.

A man to be weighed by the voters of Maine and found lacking in the elements of gubernatorial dignity and pluck.

A Delightful Concert. The concert at Hancock hall last Thurs-

day evening was, as was predicted, one of the finest musical affairs ever given in this city. The performances of the group of talented young musicians from Bluehill were a revelation, an astonishment and a

! delight, and the pity of it is that less than 200 people took advantage of the rare opportunity offered to hear them.

The four boys, Toedt, Gardner, Breeskin and Jacobsen, are tbe star pupils of that master of the violin, Franz Kneisel, known the world over as the leader of the Kneisel quartette, while Misa Tappen holds the same rank as a pupil of Wilhelm Wiileke, the ’cellist of the same quartette. Further than to say that the playing of this gronp was exquisite, and that it will long linger in the memory of the audience as simply wonderful, a description of it all is impossible.

evening wm George A. Weage, a summer

| visitor at Bluehill, a well-known teacher of the organ and harmony in New York, and organist at the Madison avenue

j Methodist church in that city. His work at the piano was referred to in the most

1 complimentary manner, and added ma- terially to the enjoyment of the evening.

Miss Giles sang delightfully, as she always does; particularly pleasing was her singing of “Happy Days”, with violin ac- companiment by Master Breeskin: so also was her rendition of Mr. Stockbridge’s group of songs; the reception of them by the audience must have been nighly gratifying to the composer, who occupied a seat in the gallery.

Mr. Waterhouse’s delightful tenor voice was heard again in Ellsworth with great pleasure. The full effect of bis songs w as somewhat handicapped by his being obliged to share the single copiee of the music with the accompanist, duplicate copies having failed to reach him before leaving his home for Ellsworth,

j The proceeds of the concert covered the expenses, bat did not add an emb&rrass-

I ingly large sum to the treasury.

The Boston Herald seems to think that because there are Taft republi-

; cans and Roosevelt republicans in j Maine there is danger that voters

1 onough of each sort may yield to their 1 factional impulses to make a percepti- 1 ble dent in the State ticket. Don’t worry; the only republican impulse observable to the naked eye is the united one to make every perceptible

; dent in the tin-clad democracy now ; holding the fort at Augusta.

Last Monday, Aug. 19, at 3 o’clock, the

popular ladies’ voting contest, which has been running in The American for the

past three months, came to a close. The grand prize of the f400 Obermeyer piano was won by Miss Annie E. Gray, of East Surry.

A list of the eleven contestants who are

entitled to prizes is printed above. Miss

Gray, as just stated, receives the piano; her long lead indicates that she did an

extraordinary amount of work, and she receives her reward; she is also receiving congratulations from those who were her

friendly rivals as well as from her many friends.

OTHER PRIZES.

The merchants' prizes are to be awarded

by choice, the next highest after Miss

Gray being entitled to first choice. After that the contestant who stands next to Alias Donovan may have her choice of the nine remaining prizes, and so on down

the list. A week is allowed for the first choice;

should she not make it within a week from to-d ly, contestant No. 2 may make her choice, and contestant No. 1 “goes to the foot”, oid must remain there until all the other* have made their choice.

We very much wish that all the prize- winners would make their choice as soon

as possible. tUfllMl A OtV-VCIS).

It is gratifying to be able to say that this voting contest has been carried

through from start to finish without the

slightest friction. A few minor misun-

derstandings arose early in the contest over interpretations of the rules govern- ing the contest, but everyone of them was

satisfactory settled. The promoters of the contest, The Pub-

lisher's Music Co., of Chicago, have been

entirely fair with this paper and with the contestants in every respect.

THANKS TO ALL.

The judges, Messrs. Tapley, McUown And Dunleavy, did the work assigned them in an entirely satisfactory manner and the thanks of the promoters and of The American are hereby cordially extended to them; also to the Burrill national bank for generously taking charge of the ballot-box during the last six days of the

contest. The thanks of the The American are

extended to all the contestants for the work done in its behalf; a substantial number of new subscribers has been added to its subscription list, many re-

newals have been made, and many subscribers have been good enough to pay in

their arrearages. The ten merchants, also, are grateful for

the cash trade which the contest has

brought to them.

“A Day at the Ranch.’* The cast for the production, “A Day at

years ago Mr. and Mrs. Kodenbaugh staged the “society minstrels" in Ells-

worth, one of the biggest local successes

ever made in this city. “A Day at the Ranch" is given under

the auspices of the Congregational society and the Thursday club. Following is the

cast of the principal characters: vui. miner, t* a.

dainty little Dutch girl “Wilhelmina”, and will have six Dutch kiddies with her.

There is a lively cowboy and ranch girl number in which Churchill Walker has

the solo; Miss Lord leads the New York girls and Elleneen Doyle is the soloist for

twenty-flve little girls. Beside these there are many solo and

REPUBLICAN RALLY.

Hon. Forrest Goodwin on the Issues of the Day.

The opening gun of the State campaign for the republicans was held last evening at Hancock hall, when Hon. Forrest Goodwin, candidate for Congress from the third district, addressed a large and enthusiastic audience.

Hon. John A. Peters, of this city, candidate for representative to the legislature presided, and in a brief but characteristic

HON. FORREST GOODWIN.

speech, touched upon the political situation, and then gracefully introduced the speaker of the evening.

After paying a well-deserved compliment to his opponent for the nomination, Col. H. E. Hamlin, Mr. Goodwin, took up the business in hand, and for an hour discussed the issues of the campaign.

He attacked the democrats as a party, not as individuals, compared its promises with its performances, laid bare its in- sincerities; showed how by failing to tell the w hole truth it was attempting to de- ceive the people as to the real facts of its own record for the past year and a half; how it was claiming credit for doing some

things it hadn’t done, and for doing some

things it couldn't help doing. Near the close, and briefly, he discussed

the question of protection and free trade, indicating how essential it was that the

republican policy of protection should be maintained, and how vital it was to the welfare and prosperity of Maine.

He closed with a strong appeal for the election of Hon. William T. Haines lor

governor. The Ellsworth band played in the

square, marched to the hall, and furnished excellent music before and after the

speeches.

Republicans Getting Busy. The republican club of Ellsworth en-

tered up an active campaign for the State election this week. A meeting at Grand

Army hall Monday evening, the tirst since the primary campaign, w’as well attended.

The president of the club, John A.

Peters, presided. A committee of live was

appointed to nominate ward committees for active work in Ellswrorth. This com-

mittee reported large working committees in each ward, with the members of the

city committee as chairmen of the ward committees. A committee on hall man-

agement for last evening’s rally was also

appointed. Forrest O. Silsby, of Amherst, candidate

for sheriff, who has been campaigning in the eastern and southwestern sections of

the county, was present at the meeting. He reported the outlook in the sections he had visited as favorable for republican success in the election.

Meetings of the ward 1 and 5 committees will be held at Grand Army hall

Thursday evening, and of ward 2 com-

mittee at the office of W. E. Whiting Fri-

day evening. Another meeting of the club will be held next Monday evening.

POLITICAL NOTES.

The Amebican’s North Penobscot cor-

respondent writes: “I was approached by an aged citizen last week, who made this voluntary confession: ‘I have voted the democratic ticket all my life, but this fall I shall vote against Plaisted on the rum

question.’ There is a growing sentiment of independence in the air, and the people are shaking off the shackles of political slavery.”

Utterly Wretched Nervous Prostration Long Endured

Before Remedy was Found. Miss Minerva Remlnger, Upper Bern,

Pa., writes: “For several years I had nervous prostration, and was utterly wretched. I lived on bread and beef tea because my stomach would not retain anything else. I took many rem-

edies, but obtained no relief until I took Hood’s Sarsaparilla, w hen I began to gain at once. Am now cured.”

Pure, rich blood makes good, strong nerves, and this is why Hood’s Sarsa- parilla, which purifies and enriches the blood, cures so many nervous diseases.

COUNTY NEWS. EAST LAMOINE.

CAPT. SAMUEL Y. DESISLES. The death of Capt. Samuel Y. Desisles,

of East Lamoine, on Sunday, Aug. 11, ends the long car?er of a man of mark, one well known throughout this part of the State. He was a direct descendant of those French people, who under the personal leadership of Madame De Launay, earliest settled Lamoine in the eighteenth cen-

tury. Within a stone’s throw of the first build-

ing erected by the colonists, Capt. Des- isles was born Oct. 29,1831. His mother, Isabella Young, was of good, Bolid, New England stock. The blend of the two nationalities resulted, in the case of Capt. Desisles, in a character combining the alertness of the French and the steadfast- ness of the Anglo-Saxon American. These traits were displayed over a wide field and in a very effective manner.

This was all brought out in the address which was delivered by his intimate friend of many years. Rev. Daniel M. Wil-

son, at the funeral services which were

held Wednesday afternoon, Aug. 14. These services took place in the East La- moine church, which was filled with rela-

tives, friends and neighbors of the deceased. Tne floral tributes were numerous

and beautiful. Rev. Mr. Wilson did not deliver a fu-

neral discourse after the old-time fashion, but spoke right out and simply the

thoughts which the occasion drew forth. He said that it was at considerable incon- venience that he left Boston to conduct these services, but that when he heard of the death of his friend, Capt. Desisles, and received the request to officiate at the last sad rites he realized that, whatever the detaining circumstances might be, his

place was here in Lamoine with the

mourning community. “Now that he was here,” he said, “he

had rather sit silent with all who mourned, and meditate upon the worth of the man whom death had removed, and how much he had meant in all their lives, than to officiate as a minister. Yet there was much to be said, much that should be said. “Capt. Desisles was among the best of that generation of fine, upright and

sturdy New England men and women who are so swiftly passing away. Their

simple, guileless lives, frank, direct and

truthful, were typified in him. He was

outspoken, independent, fearless in the

ever his wealth or position, could look him down. His manliness was a constant

quality. He hated above all things hy- pocrisy; shams in politics, social life and

religion wer-j his abomination. Sincere he was all through, and upon sincerity of thought and feeling w as built his religion. So his religion w as real to him and was

his stay in his sufferings and in the ap- proach of death. Loyal he was, and to friend and neighbor rendered untiring and unselflRh services.

“The strong qualities of his character were not limited in their exercise to his native town. They were conspicuous over

a wide field. In the southern waters of Cuba, Key West and Florida he performed important services. There during the Civil war he was known as one of the most efficient captains to whom were in- trusted the work of sailing captured blockade- runners to New York and other

ports for final disposal. Countless were

the ships and of all classes that he navi- gated to their destination. His swift judgment, his skill and his daring were

notable among the men of his calling, and carried him through without a single disaster. Later he was employed on the James River transport service. Here within range of the enemies’ guns, his re-

sourcefulness and daring were put to a

still greater test. “From all this exciting and exacting

service Capt. Desisles returned to his native village. What drew him back it would be hard to tell; perhaps love of the old home. He might have remained South in com-

manding positions. But whatever the duty that fell to his lot, whether ploughing the high seas or ploughing the ances-

tral acres, he did all patiently for the most part, impatiently at times, but thoroughly. No matter what the work, great or small, in its perforance he played the part of a

man.” ai me ena oi ms aaaress, .ur. wuson

held up a small book. “Its title/’ he said, “is ‘Captain Israel the Hopeful.’ It was

written by the Rev. Albert Walkley, of

Boston, and the Captain Israel who is the subject of it is resliy Captain Samuel Desisles. The Rev. Mr. Walkley knew

Capt. Desisles. They were fond of each other. There is as much of the minister in the book as of the captain. This, said the Rev. Mr. Wilson, was a disappoint- ment. He would liked to have seen in it more about the captain. But how elo-

quent was the compliment paid the captain that there should be found in him the embodiment of some of the minister’s highest ideals!’*

The speaker read some extracts from the

book, and closed with these lines which were written by the Rev. Mr. Walkley: “This is the captain’s last voyage.

He commands a new ship. It is the sea of life on which he sails. The ship is laden, hold and decks, with Hope. There is abundance for any harbor into

which he may enter.”

It was while Capt. Desisles was in the southern seas that he met the lady who became his wife—“good aunt Mary Jane,” as she is called in Lamoine. They have

three surviving children, all of whom

were at the funeral—Leonard H. Desisles, of Chicago; Mr®. B. J. Tieman, of New

York, and Mrs. H. L. Coolidge, of La-

moine. There are two grandchildren, the

light of Capt. Desiales' heart—Miss Nata-

lie I. Gilman and Morrill C. Desisles. About a year ago one of the sisters of

Capt. Desisles, Mrs. Nehemiah Means, passed away, and hardly a month since

another sister joined her — Mrs. Winter-

botbara, the widow of the widely-remembered Prof. John C. Winterbotham. Two sisters were unable, on account of illness, to be present at the funeral services—Mrs. Charles F. Walker, of Portsmouth, N. H., and Mrs. C. W. Hodgkins, of Bas« Harbor, Mt. Desert Island. But one orother re-

mains, W illiam Francis Desisles, of East Lanmina. All were included in the

thought and sympathy of the assembled community on the sorrowful occasion.

The Methodist aid society held its sum-

mer sale and entertainment at Masonic hall Thursday, Aug. 15, with good financial results. The society presented an ex-

cellent program in the evening. The A. T. Scott Salvage Co., of New Lon-

don, Conn., arrived Friday and is busy | over the stranded steamer Norumbega, which has been the centre of attraction here for the past week, since running on

; to a ledge in the fog. Crowds of people are m daily attendance in the vicinity of the crippled steamer watching the work.

A suffragette meeting was recently held

by invitation of Miss Mary Snow at her

cottage home here. About thirty-five ladies met and discussed the advisability of organizing a franchise league. Able

speeches were made by Miss Snow, the Misses Green and other ladies, and it was

1 decided that in the near future r suffrage j club should be organized at Southwest Harbor.

The mid-summer sale and entertainment | of the Congregational sewing society proved very successful. The sale during the day of Tuesday, Aug. 13, at Masonic hall, in spite of the counter attraction of the stranded steamer, was well patronized j in all of its departments. The entertain- | ment in the evening, planned and ar- j ranged by Miss Simmons, of the Clark ! cottage, and her willing aids, delighted a

crowded hall. The Dirigo male quartette won rounds of applause. Rev. Milton Hess, from the Claremont, proved an able leader, and the vocal solos of Mrs. Cas-

i tie, from the Claremont, and Prof. : Kellog of the Dirigo, were finely rendered, j i The solos of the young man pianist were

I highly appreciated. By special request, “Packing the Missionary Barrel” was

given by the ladies of the sewing circle, and the generous applause testified to its amusing character. A pretty feature was

the motion songs of a dozen little girls. All the numbers received such in- sistent encores that the obliging artists doubled the pleasure. The receipts of the

; day and evening were |207. Aug. 19. Spray.

STRATTON REUNION. The stormy weather of the past few

weeks came to an end after a brisk thunderstorm Thursday night, and gave place for a perfect day for the fifteenth annual reunion of the Stratton family. The picturesque grounds of the summer

home of A. B. Crabtree were the scene of the gathering. Tables, chairs, hammocks and swings had been placed by the host in readiness to accommodate the guests of the day, who began to assemble just before noon. About fifty members of the family were present.

The oldest living members of the family were present, namely: Mrs. Henriette Stratton Abbott and Mrs. Eliza J. Strat- ton Foss, as was also the youngest, the

eight-months-old daughter of Bessie Strat- ton Walker.

The cordial greetings were subdued, for this has been a sad year for those who were present, and several familiar faces were missed with that sinking of the heart that has but one cause. Death has entered three of the homes of members of the association, and in the past few months has removed three of the women

whose presence at the reunion each year has promoted the sociability of these oc-

casions. The closing hours of the past year wit-

nessed the outgoing of Bessie Stratton

Walker, a former secretary for the family. Her keen interest in the association had, in a large measure, been one of the main factors in the continuance of the yearly meetings. The presence of Mrs. Walker’s small daughter was a constant reminder of the mother’s sbsence, the interest shown in the daughter manifesting in some small degree the affection felt for the

departed mother. The early days of the present summer

closed the earthly career of two other members of the family—Mrs. Susan Strat- ton and Mrs. Linnie Abbott Page. Their cheerful greeting and warm handclasp were recalled with sorrow.

At noon a picnic dinner was partaken of at the various tables. Early in the afternoon a meeting took place in the open air, w here the election of officers took

place. The president, treasurer and secre-

tary were re-elected. These officers were:

President. A. B. Crabtree; treasurer,.John Nelson Stratton; secretary, Edna L. Strat- ton. Mrs. Clara Johnson was elected vice- president.

It was decided to hold the reunion at Hardison’s grove, Franklin, next year. Mrs. Amanda Tracey, Mrs. Imogene Pet-

tingill, of Sullivan, and Mrs. Fred Abbott, of Franklin, were cbosen as a committee of arrangement for the occasion.

REFORESTING WASTE LANDS.

Suggestions by J. M. Briscoe, Pro-

fessor of Forestry U. of M.

There is much land in Maine in an un-

productive condition at present that could

be made to grow trees profitably. More- over, trees are the only crop that can be economically grown on some of these areas

where the soil is too poor or the slope too

steep to produce agricultural crops to ad-

vantage. It is not the purpose of forestry to encroach on agricultural lands, but

rather to put every acre of land in the

State to its best and most profitable use.

Throughout the State there is a con-

siderable and growing interest in forest

planting, and it is the intention of thi

article to point out a few of the main facts

that will be of interest to the prospective forest planter. The details as to methods of

planting and care and management of the

woodlot have already been dealt with in a

circular published by the Maine Agricul- tural experiment station in co-operation with the forestry department. This cir-

cular is entiled, “Suggestions to Woodlot Ow ners in Maine,” and will be sent free

to all applicants. Among the BSfcny reasons why forest

planting will pay the farmer are the fol-

lowing: 1. There is a constant need of forest products on every farm, and if these are not produced they must be purchased. 2. There is, moreover, a good market for

any surplus over and above the amount needed for home consumption. 3. The

poorest soils may be utilized for forest

crops without the addition of any fertili- zer. 4. Forest crops improve the physical and chemical properties of the soil in which they grow, while most agricultural crops hasten the deterioration of the soil. 5. The cost of establishing and caring for forest crops is very much less than for most agricultural crops. 6. There is a

steady increase in the value of land with

growing timber upon it. 7. Trees greatly improve the general appearance as well as

the actual financial value of the property.

tree that can be most profitably planted, and the setting out of seedling trees which are from one to three years old is much to be preferred to sowing seed directly on

the areas to be reforested. This method will give quicker results, more eveu dis- tribution and assure a better and more

uniform stand. These seedlings may easily be grown in a cold-frame in con-

nection with the market-garden, or they may be purchased from a number of dealers who make a specialty of forest-tree seeds and seedlings. Prices vary with the seasons and the size and kind of stock

wanted, but any of the dealers will be glad to quote prices on application for large or

small quanitiee of stock. In ordering seedlings, about 1,250 should ;

be allowed for each acre to be planted. This will permit a spacing of six feet apart each way in the field, and the planting j should be done in regular rows either J parallel with or diagonal to the boundary lines.

One important difference between forest ! crops and agricultural crops must be borne in mind when planting is contemplated, j and that is the length of time between see i and harvest. The yield from most agricultural crops is annual, while the

yield from forest crops is not annual but ! periodic, and sometimes occurs only at I long intervals. The fact was early recognized that while a farmer could pay taxes every year from the income derived from his cultivated acres, he could not afford to pay the same taxes annually for forest j land which was bringing him in no in- :

come in money even though it might be increasing in value greatly every year that 1

it is allowed to grow. In order to equalize this unfair discrim-

ination against forest crops, a law was

passed by the legislature November 30.

1872, providing for exemption from taxation for lands planted with forest trees.

This act may be found in revised sta- tutes, section 10, chapter 9, State of Maine. It provides that where 2,000 trees are

planted and well distributed over each acre of land, and well cultivated for three

years, the land should be exempted from taxation for a period of twenty years, provided the trees are alive and in thriving condition during me wnoie oi me period. This act was amended March 24, 1909, to read 640 trees to the acre instead of 2,000 as formerly, but the other provisions of the act remain exactly the same as before. Although tbis law bas now been on the statute books for many years, few have ever taken advantage of the opportunities that it offers to secure exemption for a period of twenty years from all taxes on that portion of the farm which is of the least use for the production of agricultural crops.

Another act, known as the Benjamin C. Jordan fund, provides for prizes on forest

plantations. This act is found in senate document No. 160. It is a resolve to ac-

cept the gift of fl,000 from Benjamin C. Jordan, of Alfred, to the State, for the

purpose of encouraging the cultivation of forest trees. It provides for the awarding of cash prizes ranging in value from $25 to $600 each for the five best lots of young forest growth in the State. These prizes are to be awarded by the State forest com-

missioner, subject to the approval of the governor. The first of these prizes will be awarded January 1, 1929, and then once

every eighteen years afterward forever, after a careful examination of the lots competing. Competitors must register their lots, and the judging will be done in accordance with a set of rules which may be obtained from the forest commissioner.1

Forest-tree planting is not difficult, and the forestry department of the State stands ready to aid in every way possible.1 Advice will be gladly given free, and if the proposed area to be planted is a large one, a man will be furnished to make a personal inspection and advise as to the best methods of pro- cedure. No charge is made for the ser-

vices, but the traveling expenses and maintenance from Orono to the place of

inspection and return are paid by the owner. Asa rale, however, all arrangements can be satisfactorily made by cor-

respondence. Let every farmer who has an acre or

more of waste land or land that he is not

using to its best advantage, plant forest I

trees. He will thereby not only relieve himself of taxes on that land for twenty years, but he will have an investment that will return to him not only the capital in-

vested in the plantation, but a good rate

of interest as well for the whole of the

period. Even if he does not reap the

benefit of this investment himself, he will

have the satisfaction of feeling that he has

put all of his holdings to their best use, that his land is growing more valuable

each year instead of less valuable, and that

he has taken some part, however small, in

the great movement towards the conserva-

tion of our natural resources.

The Lost Cod. “Seated one day in the dory,

1 was squeamish and ill at ease.

And my fingers clutched the gunnel Over the noisome seas.

I do not know what I was playing. Oh what I was scheming then.

But I struck one chord—oh, musesickt Like sound old fishermen.

I pulled that grim son of darkness With the line of the angler Sam,

And it hang on my favorite fishhook, With its ban of a sbelless clam.

It quitted the bottom with horror Like a hope overcoming strife;

It seemed the homonymous hake, Or a dog-fish seeking life.

It jerked all the tangled tackle Into one perfect mess:

Then broke away into the darkness As if it were in distress.

I have sought, but I sought it vainly, That one lost cod so fine,

■Which came from the depths of the ocean

And vowed it would not be mine.

It may be that some bright angler Will haul in that cod again;

It may be that somewhere near heaven I shall boast with the fishermen!”
