localities for the sportsman and tourist
to be found anywhere.
Our beautiful Union River bay affords
the finest places on the coast for boating,
sailing and fishing, and its sloping shores
should be lined with beautiful cottages.
Time and space are too limited to emu
merate all the attractions to be found for
the tourist and sportsman and man ufact-
urer in the immediate vicinity of this
city, but for one thing alone, let me tell
you that sportsmen will go further to
catch land-locked salmon than for any
other fish that swims, and no such salmon
fishing can be found in this whole country
as abounds within a few miles of this
city.
1t is well known that the click of the
reel and the crack Of the rifle are each
year claiming more devotees among both
sexes and with a little judicious adver-
Using, this region, aided by the govern
ment work of restocking our ponds and
lakes now going on, can easily become
the rival Of Rangeley or Moosehead.
No place has more beautiful drives
within its borders. No place has such
freedom from epidemic diseases of all
forms. No place IN the State presents
corn factory, that would prove d valuable
adjunct to our new creamery.
was once told by one of the most
prominent surgeons of this country hat
the air of Maine was particularly advan-
tegeous to the convalescence of all surgi-
cal cases, and he further added that the
natural location of Ellsworth WAS espec-
tally we'll fitted for the establishment of
large hospital for use during the sum
mer and fall seasons. The testimony OF
such men conviuces me that such must
be the case, and if we can call the atten
ton Of the outside public to these advan-
tages, aid many Others that l have neg
lected to mention, by means that l have
suggested, or by other means that may be
offered, | for one most heartily desire it.
Physicians know that cases of disease
rarely stand still. 1t is usually either i'm
provement or decline, and, as it is with
disease much easier to keep patient
gaining after improvement has COM
menced, so will it be with us after once
getting our city started along the high
road OF prosperity; it will be found less
difficult to continue in the line of progress
and advancement.
The letter was referred to special com

The president then spoke briefly of
he past year, the first in the history of
the board. A review of the work, he said :,
was unnecessary, as all work had been
done in the board, and members were ia
miliar with it. The board had accom-
plished sonnet hing, and he believed should
feel encouraged to redoubled effort for
the betterment of our city in the future.
