Despite what is said in the papers, and
the fact that the matter has been the sub
ject of Investigation and report by our
State bureau of statistics few of our peo-
pile realize the importance of what is
Known as the summer business to Maine.
or tie natural facilities which exist for
increasing what has come to be a very i'm
poltant factor in promoting the prosper
ity of our people. Maine might easily be-
come in fact, what it has been called by
name, the summer resort of the nation.
The place on the coast or interior which
fails to make known its advantages, and to
hold out inducements to the summer So
journeI, is missing golden opportunity.
Belfast, with natural attractions second
to none of the seacoast towns, has not
been mindful of her advantages certainly
las failed to improve them. The build
ing of Crosby Inn was the foundation for
future success; and but for its destruc-
ton by fire it would have done more for
the place than provide for temporary
guests. People who come for few days
or few weeks, if comfortably cared for,
often become property holders and es-
tablsh permanent summer home. This
has been the case with Camden, where
many thousands of dollars have been in
vested in real estate by people who came
there without thought of a permanent
settlement. Rebuild the Inn, improving
upon the former structure if possible,
place its management in competent hands,
and then when it is filled with guests in
summer time, as it surely would be, show
them our beautiful surroundings and it
would not be long before in city and
suburbs would be seen many additions to
the summer homes of those who come to
Maine for rest and recreation.

better off than a year ago, OF than almost

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoRERs.
The Difficulty Over the Rates Has
Been Settled

Chicago, April 2S.-Western passen-
ger officials are rejoicing over the set
Element of the troubles regarding rates
for the convention of the Christian En-
deavor society at San Francisco in
July.
The Southern Pacific has held out for
a round trip rate of $50, while the other
western roads would not consent to
round trip rates because they feared
manipulation by the scalpers. Last
Saturday a proposition was telegraphed
the Southern Pacific that a one way
rate had been agreed upon of S25 by
the western roads.
To this proposition a reply has just
been received by General Passenger
Agent Goodman of the Southern Pa
cific accepting the s25 rate of the west
ern roads. This gives the Endeavor
people lower rates than they would
have had otherwise.
The western roads have agreed and
the Southern Pacific has assented TO
the proposition that all the business
of the Christian Endeavor convention
at San Francisco Shall be routed
through the Missouri river gateways.
No reduced rates will be allowed
through any of the gateways, and in
going to San Francisco any delegate
TO the convention taking any other
route than through the Missouri river
gateways will be compelled to pay full
fare
In returning. however, the tickets
will be good at Missouri river gate
ways or through the northern gateways
and via st. Paul. The tickets will he
sold at SIS for the trip via the Mis-
souri, river gateways and $3.50 via st.

Alumni Reunion.

Provo. April 2S.-Efforts are being
made to signalize the next meeting of
the Alumni association of the Brigham
Young academy, which will take place
on May IS, the last day of the present
school year. The honor of member
ship in this society is, year by year,
held in greater estimation; and we'll it
may be, for to win the distinction at
present means six years of hard study.
Previous to 1892 the academy was not
sufficiently strong to offer rounded
courses leading to a degree. But many
of the students of those earlier years
did not cease to study when they left
school and are, in fact, among the
most prominent citizens OF the state
today. The constitution and bylaws
of the association permit old students
to enter on application and a two
thirds vote of the members present at
any annual meeting. Letters inviting
such application. have been widely
sent out by the executive committee to
men and women whose career, since
leaving school, entitle them to rank
as members Of the Alumni association.
The responses show in what warm
esteem the mother institution is held
by her scattered children. The reunion
promises to he memorable event in
the history of the academy.
