SIR CHARLES UPPER.

Mr.. OConnor Power Writes Entertainingly
of His Personal Impressions Of the states

The retirement OF the British minister q,
Washington receives added interest from the
rumor that h. may possibly bc succeeded by
the eminent Canadian statesman, Sir Charlie.
Upper. and the remarks which IL has ellci
ted from the Canadian premier, Sir John
Macdonald, aud other members OF the Cana
dian cabinet indicate that Sir Charles old
colleagues would be- very glad To hear that 1t
was true As far rs personal character and
capacity go no better appointment could be
made. Sir Charles Upper enjoys many dis
tinctions but every one OF them has been
won by force of intellect and force OF char
acter, aud those which are Of public nature
are the Just rewards OF his labors and
achievements during u long life which has
been devoted to the service Of his country
The family 10 which he belongs was originally
Of Hesse Cassel; It went thence 20 Guernsey,
and from Guernsey 10 Virginia, and subse
quently, at the termination Of the American
revolution, removed 10 Nova Scotia with
other loyalats.
Sir Charles is now in his GSth year He is
a member OF the Canadian parliament and
also high commissioner for Canada In Lon
don, and II will be remembered that the
queen made him baronet short time ago
in acknowledgement Of his services in nego.
tating the fisheries treaty between the
United States and Canada. He formerly be-
longed to the medical profession, having
taken his NJ. ID. in Edinburgh in 1913. and
dian Medical association Politics, however,
had always the strongest attraction for him,
and his life work thus far has been done in
the political and parliamentary arena. AL

rival among Canadian politicians in the art
of governing men, and in those rare and
somewhat indetinable qualities which const-
tute "A skillful and successful party leader,

A BAD ROAD


Special to the Kennebec Journal.)
Jay BRlp"l, via Leeds Junction Feb. /.
For many years portions of the road above
otl~ Falls, between Jay Bridge and Liver
sble in the spring, being overtiowed by water
or blocked by ice, At these times, besides
the hndfance of travel, the road has been
damaged considerably and in repairing which,
a good deal of expense has been incurred for
tlc county. To avert these difficulties, the
.lrctmeu propose to move the road away
from the river. \ very serious objection to
this project is that the road if moved to any
extent ut all in the direction proposed will be
within few feet of the railroad over which
several trains make trips daily. In case of
change the road would be especially dan
gerous from the fact that the carriage road
would extend half mile or more directly
alongside the railroad.
In It's present situation the road is a very
unsuitable one for travel on account of the
clos, proximity of the Maine Central track,
but if changed the condition would be a
great deal worse. The citizens of Jay
almost without exception are earnestly op-
posing the measure, and have presented to
the seleetmen largely signed remonstrance
against such proceeding which would place
in SO much danger. travel on this much fire.
queuted highway II is reported that the
seleclmen have determined to proceed with
their undertaking in spite of all objections
The question arises whether or not the
town would be liable for damages sustained
in accidents, caused by the nearness of the
railroad
