Opinions OF Them Dictated 10 One of rhsrn
~ m Acccmpiished stenogzaphas.
More trash and nonsense are written
about typewriter girls by people who
de- not understand what COED typewrit-
ing is or how to dictate to typewriter
than about any other profession or any
ether business In which either msn on
women are engaged today. The fact Of
the matter is that typewriting Is worth
anywhere from $5 week up to $40 or
e25, which Is sometimes paid as weak
ly salary to expert typewriters who have
no knowledge Of shorthand.
1t is no unusual thing for typewriters
to earn ut folio work from dictation by
stenographers 81 an hour and over, and
the finest experts are worth every cent
Of that amount OF money. Among stenog.
raphers 81 an hour is the ruling rate,
and for that 81 good typewriter with
an expert dictator will transcribe from
so to 40 folios an hour Of testimony.
In some cases even 10 folios an hour Of
solid matter have been dictated. Forty
folios is two columns Of The Sun, and
of the men who write about debating
to typewriters as though they knew
about it there are probably not half .
dozen in the country who can dictate so
much.
Many years ago the writer was en-
ployed as shorthand amanuensis by
George Alfred Townsend, well known
as Gath. who habitually dictated to
him in shorthand two columns an hour
and did It every day in the week two
hours day for months at time, in
dicating every full stop semicolon.
quotation mark and paragraph. If
"Gath" dictates to a typewriter now
and has one of the best in the business,
NO doubt he can dictate from a column
and half to two columns an hour Of
original matter, and the writer knows
Of no other man who can do that. OF
course there are plenty Of incompetents
who pose as typewriters and who bring
the BUSINESS into discredit by their poor
work For many years the writer has
been thrown in contact with expert
typewriters in his business as an official
stenorapher. In view of the many gibes
and sneers in which newspaper writers
indulge on the subject of typewriter
operators Of the feminine gender, 1t is
matter Of simple justice to say that the
women with whom he has been associ-
ated in his business have been without
exception well educated, refined. capa-
BILE Of doing rapid and accurate work,
who attended strictly to business and did
not waste time with frivolous remarks.
It seems unfair to judge Of any bust
ness or profession by the weaklings en-
gagged therein, whether the work be
law, medicine, the ministry, shorthand
or typewriting, and any one who cannot
accomplish twice as much debating to
good typewriter operator as with a
pen is unable to do that either because
he does not know how to dictate or be-
cause he has an inferior operator. II

Base Ball Notes.
The game yesterday showed that there
must be little more of that generalship on
our part that counts in emergencies.
Casey is one of the best men in the league,
but he was little rash between second and
third He was caught once and only escaped
the other time by Shea's error.
1t was great fun for the crowd to see
gentle Willie Mains struck out twice by
little Dan, especi ally as Willie had the
other side of right field fence in mind.
Mccormack played great game. He got
hit every time he went to the bat, four
times, and he stole bases like a whirlwind.
Bergen's throwing to second was very
dangerous. He caught so many of our boys
down there that they hung to first base
pretty closely.
Spill played splendidly, as usual.
McQuirk's home run was very hard.
In fact, it was Lewislon's day altogether.

LIMERICK BROAD GvUGE.
The Latest Maine Railway Project Well
Under Way.
Especial to the Press.]

Limerick, May IA. The citizens are
maturing plans to secure broad gauge
steam railroad to run from here to Bar
Mills on the Portland & Rochester rail
road BY way of Bonny Eagle and West
Buxton. The road is backed by the sa-
gaeity and enterprise of Hon. J. M. Mason
President Of our National Bank, who
stands ady to take fifty Thousand dol
lars OF bonds of the road. Mr.. Mason
has secured the assistance of Mr.. Charles
Butler of West Buxton, whose public
spirit and unfailing energy give promise
of success in raising the required funds.
The promoters appeal to the local pride
of every citizen to aid them in raising
the means By which the unemployed
and undeveloped water power on the
Saco and Little Ossipea river may be-
come available, especially that of Bonny
Eagle, which is superior to any in the
State. Rumford excepted. This project
is not of the wild cat order, for the
lumber traffic at West Buxton alone
will pay all fixed charges of the road
the day it is opened. Frank Higgins,
ESQ.,, has orders to prepare articles of
association in accordance with statute
requirements, and subscription books
may be found at the bank and with Mr..
Butler.

In 1929 the Rev. Zenas Thompson, father
of Alderman Thompson and Frederick H
Thompson, of this city,was a young Univer
salist Clergyman in Pennington.
That year middle-aged Englishman
named Ware, came to Pennington from
England and took up his abode there, at
traeted by the magnificent hunting and
fishing possibilities of the vicinity
He was typical English sporting mar
furnished with plenty of money and the best
OF hunting and fishing appliances. Hi
brought to Pennington better guns thar

brought the first jointed fishing-rods thai
had ever been seen in sthat locality an6
probably that had ever been used in Maine
They were made in England of course.
The Rev. Mr.. Thompson was an arden
sportsman, but he had always caught hi
trout with pole and bait. He and Mr.. Ware
soon found that they were congenia
spirits and became fast friends and frequent
comrades on sporting expeditions.
Mr.. Ware was one of those genuine sports
men who know how to make their owl

He could make his own flies and knew JUS
what kind to make for different conditions
of water and seasons and fish. He taught
Mr.. Thompson how to make flies and the1
to use them and gave him one of his FISHING
rods, the one described at the beginning O.
this article.
Either the first or second year of Mr.
Wares stay in Pennington he and Mr.
Thompson, attracted by the stories of biz
fish, told by lumbermen, made an excursion
into the then almost primeval wilderness
of the Rangeley region. They went b,
stage to Phillips and then struck through
the painless forest TO the lakes.
They threw the first flies that had ever
deceived the trout in those now famous
waters and they caught trout in such siz
and numbers that they were fairly satiatet
with the sport as well as the abundanc,
of the fish.
