An Accident Which Inspires Confider

An Accident Which Inspires Confidence
Uoston Transcript)
There are some accidents whose details
tend to inspire public confidence rather
than cause alarm. and the striking of the
CITY OF ROckland upon Gangway Ledge
or South ThOmaston, in a dense fog,
may be reckOned as one of them. or
course. the situation was not one of such
imminent and terrible peril as that in
which the General SlOcum was involved.
but 1t was nevertheless one in which mis-
takes might easily have been costly and
fatal So far as the early reports en-
Tighten us no such mistakes were made
The officers handled the emergency in
cool and business-like fashion that in
Splred confidence in the several hundred
passengers. The steamer was saved from
sinking and boat was at the same time
lowered and sent ashore to telephone for
help. The distress signals were kept
working The passengers were provided
with lfe-preservers and the lowering OF
the boats and their use in reaching q
refuge for the passengers were marked
by perfect discipline. Upon our rocky
coast in a heavy fog it may easily be ad-
mitted that an accident Is occasionally
unavoidable 1t was the captains frst

officers will sail safely on smooth sea
when nothing happens. The real test OF
conditions is in an emergency and the
way in which 1t was met in this instance
ought to strengthen the confidence OF the
public in the service of the line. we De

A Good Point.


The Kennebec Journal makes very
good point against the Waterville
Sentinel in this discussion of the
relative increase of valuation ana
population. 1t is that one of the most
important factors in the growth OF
taxable wealth has been overlooked.
namely, the summer resort property.
During the past two decades, says
the Journal, millions of dollars have
been expended in our State in the con-
structiOn of thousands of summer
hotels and residences" This. it con-
tiEucS, has been accompanied by prac-
tic;llly no increase at all in our pOpu-
lation that would be noted in our
census returns. Old Orchard is good
illustration of the discrepancy that
may exist between n summer and q
permanent population. The census OF
1900 gives it a population of 964. and
yet during the vacation season 1t be-
,oHlts transformed into busy munici-
pality of from 10000 to 10000 pOpu-
IatiOn. A major part of it's assessed
property is owned by people who do not
figure ut all in the census returns.
What is true Of Old Orchard is notably
true of Bar Iarbor, and, to n greater or
less extent of several hundred other
places in Maine that have their
regularly established summer colonies"
That is true. and to it might be added
the consideration of the increase of
land values at and in the vicinity of the
summer resorts by reason of the move
ment. Land at the seaShOre, by the
before was comparatively worthless
row commands good prices on account
of the boom, while the opening of new
mlrkets for farm and garden products
borhood. 1t has been estimated tha,
the influx OF visitors during the vaca-
ton and fishing and hunting seasons
brings into the state several millions
and left among our people. OF course
this cash does not come directly with
i'm the purview of the assessors, but
part of it gets there indirectly and
improvements to farms and buildings
and by being invested in various forms
OF taxable property. 1t is not open to
doubt that the summer resort business
has added greatly to the prosperity or
our people, and it has done it without
adding much to the permanent popu-
latiOn.

Advice For Campers.

Don't take too much.
Doctors are seldom available, so pre-.
pare for accidents and be careful.
Never pitch camp in a hollow.
Select camp site on top of knoll

OF the tent and turned under, with the
rubber blanket placed over it, will keey
out water that may run into the tent.
camp pitched in the thickest
spruce or other evergreens is so pei
cent warmer and drier than one in the
open.
Always examine fishing tackle before
starting out.
Remember a gun or rifle is always
loaded.
A good guide is worth twice as much
as he costs.
do not try to evade the law. no mat.

How easily the Democrats are carry

elections are being held. The nominal
tion of Parker made New York practi-
cally solid for the Democrats and that
of Davis killed the last vestige of hope
which the Republicans ever had of
carrying West Virginia or Maryland
again. Now the selection Of Tom Tag
gart as national chairman removes In
diana from the doubtful list. Thus far

That is a good plan which they have
in Massachusetts of getting the collec-
preme court concerning proposed but
doubtful legislation. In most states
they first enact the law and let some-
body break it SO that the courts may
decide whether it is good law or not.
The latter way involves a lot Of ex-
pense and there is no end Of trouble
and delay before the final opinion
comes down. However, it enables many
lawyers to get rich.
