Good Advice TO Maine City

30 feet long. ~ feet wide and .hree
stories high and viii require an annual *
pcnditure OF half a million dollars.
All this sounds well, but the citizens Of
Ellsworth are not disposed to leap until
they have looked. They held a meeting
Monday evening. and considered the mat
ter from all points. There seemed To be
uncertainty to what the Massachusetts
manufacturers wanted Some Of the
speakers thought they would ask nothing
more than Ellsworth people would readily
grant aud some took the opposite view.
The general sentiment seemed To bc ia
favor Of making a generous Offer to the
firm and abiding the result.
The speech Of the evenn. and the one
that may bring the most important results.

utensils. a the place already la, a plenty
of material Of which no account j made.
and he thought with proper encourage

place could be induced to start something

worth young man thus encouraged to
help build up his own fortunes and those
Of his native place at the same time ha,
something more at stake than the mere
making of money. His reputation his
standing in the community, are worth
more TO him than few dollars. The feel
ing that his neighbOrs and friends trust IN
and desire 70 help him is also a powerful
inducement 70 integrity and enterprise
Everybody feels an interest in his advance
ment and many things conspire to make
him anxious to prove worthy Of such ill.,
terest. An outside capitalist called in by
a vote Of money in his aid is swayed by
no such motives 1t is simply a business
affair between him and the town. If things
90 along smoothly, all may work well
If, however, the manufacturer sees
chance to better his fortunes elsewhere.
what is there to prevent his making an
other change? Randolph is town that
can answer this question. The people
there have a commodious new shoe factory
and they called an outside capitalist to set
its machinery running Everything went
along well for a time. Then the manu-
facturers decided to seek green fields and
pastures either new or old in another
state. They have gone as they came
Satisfactory stock in Randolph has de-
preciated, some of the towns young peo-
pie who invested their hard earned savings
to build up the enterprise have had to sell
their stock at one-half its original cost,
and enterprise at Randolph has received a
setback that will make it harder to start

Three Masted Schooners.

We print on our first page this
week highly Interesting article, en-
titled Along the Docks" by an in
telligeIt master mariner Of Hancock
county The article cannot fail to be
one Of great interest to all our read
ers. more especially to our seafaring
men and ship owners.
Relative 10 three masted schooners
we quote from the article as follows:
The first three -masted schooner ever
built in Maine was the Magnolia | have
no record Of her except my memory, |
think She was built in Ellsworth or it may
have been in Surry or Bluehill. She was
about 100 tons. had short mizzen-
mast and her spanker would Lot make
tarpaulin for the hatch of a modern col
lier. The next three-ma>ted schooner from
Maine was the John McAdam
The above statement is not quite
correct so far as the magnolia is
concerned. 1t is believed that the
first three-masted schooner ever built
IN the United States was the 'Auro-
ra' of Ellsworth. and our reasons for
thinking 50 are as follows: A few
years ago a correspondent of a Bos-
ton paper made the claim that the
first three-masted schooner ever built
in the United States was built in 1910.
At that time the editor of this paper
was an officer in the Ellsworth custom
house. The claim made by the Bos-
ton paper somewhat excited his Curl
osity, and he carefully looked up,
from the records of the office, the facts
pertaining to the pioneer three-masted
schooners in the District of French
mans Bay. The following is brief
statement of the result of that re-
search: In 1881 Col. John Black
built at Ellsworth the three masted
schooner called the aurora" of l47
1896 tons burden. She was COM
manded by Capt. Moses Abbott In
1888 Col. Black built another tern
schooner, called the Fame" of
1870 1896 tons burden, of which Capt.
Elias Lord was master. Later Col.
Black built still another three-masted
schooner and she was also called the
"Aurora," the first Aurora having
been lost at sea in the winter of 1885,
SO, when Capt. Abbott was lost over
board and drowned, so we were in
formed by John S. Emery, Esq, OF
Boston. The Aurora number two

The Montpelier Waterman says
that the trustees of the State insane
asylum made an excellent bargain
for the State in the purchase of the
Warren farm at Waterbury for $751;
900. The farm contains over four
hundred acres, divided in proper pro-
portion into tillage, pasture and
woodland probably there is no farm
land in Vermont in a better state of
cultivation, and very little so good,
even among the "fancy farmers"
We are glad to note that the trustees
are taking the necessary steps toward
the early erection of the asylum
buildings.
