WILL THE BATH IRON WORKS
COME?

To the Editor Of the Press:
That is the question that Is agitating
the people OF Portland ana so interested
have they become In the subject that 1t is
aaite likely to accomplish one thing for
Portland at least and that is a "Steel
Ship Building Plant" The advantages
OF this harbor for such an institution
have been brought to the front in such a
way that this result Ia almost certain to
follow. When the Grand Trunk railway
management brought the question OF a
second grain elevator to the attention Of
the business men OF Portland, there WAS
nothing slow about the response and
$3.50, 600 was forthcoming and at short
notice and does any one suppose for one
moment that II the Bath Iron Works
should come to Portland with n part OF
It's plant, that there would be any lack OF
enterprise on the part OF the business men
of Portlandf If they do they would sure
Iy be mistaken. The place for the Bath
Iron Works annex is Portland. Hers
they viii get large amount OF business
In connection with the lines of the great
ocean steamers and II they come, the dry
dock will also surely be built and II they
do not come and q steel shipbulldipg
plant is started the dry dock will sursiy
follow. But as business proposition
would 1t not be the logical thing for the
Bath Iron Works to do? It is not likely
tina, Bath will ever have q dry dock OF
Its own. especially II one Is established In
Portland and Ia It likely. II there was one
In Bath that such a dock would ever be
used for large steamships by the govern-
ment especially II there was one in Port
land. Ths Bath Iron Works cannot pos
sibiy afford to drop this opportunity to
SECURE land ana buildings at less than
half what they are worth, and be assured
that they will have financial aid II de-
sired or possibly what is better, dry
dock large enough 20 take the largest ship
sfioRt. oh no, sagaoious men like those
composing the Bath Iron Works are not
letting such an opportunity as this pass,
no matter what the citizens OF bath may
offer to keep than oramped up there,
where they cannot expand beyond a GER
tain point. No, no, this is too important
a matter and too far reaching in it's re-
suits for the interests Of the whole state
OF Maine, and we hope the people OF Bath
will take the broad gauge view Of IL
which will accord with their established
reputation. Citizen.

COMMISSIDNER BILL PASsED

The people of St. Louis county
will have the option of having sew
en- county commissioners, instead
of five, just as soon as Governor Van
SAINT signs the Hawkins redistrict-
ing bill, which passed both houses
on Friday last. This signature will
undoubtedly be received and it will
then be up to the people to formu-
late petition to the county board
and comply with the provisions of
the law, to have it become effective.
The petition must have the sigma
ture of rs per cent of the voters of
the county at the last general elec-
ton. The total vote of the county
at the last general election was
about14,250, and that would make
the number of signatures necessary
about $3.50. It is not anticipated
there will be any trouble in getting
this number, as the Mesaba alone
the section to gain representation,
can furnish the requisite number.
The county board has no option,
when this petition, in proper form
and duly signed by the required
number of voters, is presented, but
to carry out the demands. It must
de clare the new commissioners dis
tricts and appoint the new commits
sioners, after which the board will
be organized under the new bill.
Later, the people of the new dis
tricts will have an opportunity to
elect the successors of those who
are appointed. !:
None of the present districts will
be changed except that of Chair
man Morcom, who, has for years
past represented the district en-
bracing both ranges and the terri
tory north to the boundary. In the
redistricting. of the county the Me-
saba will doubtless: be given: two
commissioners, one from the: east
ern and one from the westerns part
fthe range. $500 se$sE*s5fss -
This movement may, temporarily,
allay the energy of Mesabaites for
county division, and in the mean
time will give us representation, in
surfing many needed improvements
which have heretofore been beyond
the reach of our people. It may
tend to divert some of the road fund
money from the districts of the Du-
luth commissioners and cause it's
expenditure upon the ranges, where
the taxes are paid and where it is
most needed. And it will eventual
ly prove stepping stone to a more
complete separation of sectional in
terests, leading to the goal for which
the people of the Mesaba have striv-
en- for the past six years-a divorce
from the porcine elements of the
Zenith City, the controlling element
in county affairs. aa

VELL BE IN.

One of the incidents of the horse
race at Eveleth on Friday last was
the deliverance of screed by one
p. E. Bowling to The Enterprise
scribe, in which the said Bowling
threatened to invade our sanctun
and give us "the licking" we
ever got. Continuing he used Ian
guage which would not look we'll in
print, but which betokened the men,
tai and moral calibre of the man,
and was no shock to those of his
hearers who had the honor of a pre-
vious acquaintance.
The Enterprise scribe makes no
boast of being from, Missouri, al
though we have recollections of
many happy childhood hours spent
in the paw-paw state. However, we
will state to Mr.. Bowling that the
latch-string to our sanctum is al
ways out, and that we are usually
"at home" to our visitors, whether
they come to click the editor" to

Last Year,s Cotton Rsceipts.

September 1st closed the cotton year in Selma, and the cotton receipts for the Exchange. The total receipts were TO- 4lS bales, shipments 67,14S bales stock on hand 3,270 bales. The first new bale was received this year Aug. 15; last year the first bale was received Aug. g. This is a better showing than the city hoped to make when last years short cotton crop throughout this section was taken into consideration. There Is great speculation among the cotton men as to what Sell mas receipts will be this year, and opin- ion Is widely divided as to the amount of receipts. but the most sanguine cot ton man places the number of bales far below what 1t was last season. Quesses will be sealed up in envelopes by cotton men and will be opened on the first of next September.
