Mr.. John j. Enneking, the famous
Boston artist who makes Skowhegan a
visit of few weeks annually, concluded
two weeks sojourn at the residence of
John Weston and returned to his home,
| Tuesday morning last. Mr.. Enneking is
enthusiastic over Skowhegan scenery,
and the natural beauties of this part Of
Maine. The kennebec river and valley
he regards among the most attractive in
the whole country. Coming as he does
from a large city and having the educat-
ed eye and the refined taste of an artist
of wide experience he appreciates aud
places a value upon natural beauty OF
| landscape, trees, rivers, etc. that people
generally, who have all their lives been
accustomed to look upon these things
from the standpoint of utility and every
day affairs, cannot have. He speaks in
admring terms of the kennebec river
and the trees that adorn its banks in
manV places and is solicitous that they
shall not be destroyed ard their beaut '
sacrificed to the false idea of utility, OF
to the notion of some land owner whC
has no appreciation Of these things
| His theory is that the town should
acquire possession of certain tracts along
the river and improve them for the good
of the public. He suggests with much
force that street cut through on the
South side along the river front from q
point near Sayage's ice house up river Il
mile or two would make an avenue oil
surprising beauty and one that would
afford rare pleasure to visitors and citi
zens. This is worthy of the attention oil
our people. Surely the opinion of mar
of Mr. Enneking's culture and expert
euce is worth much in this direction.
