Speaking of the novel sight OF an
auto on The streets of Bar Harbor re-
Gently, Bar Harbor Lite says: 1.-The
sad part of the story is that not a
single horse was frightened by the
big machine, much to the disappoint-
ment of the anti-autoists." Life is
facetious, but unjust. The suggestion
implied that the anti autoists almost
wished for an accident to strengthen
their argument against the auto, is
unfair. No doubt the most bigoted of
the ants would be the last to wish
for an accident. Life should be little
more tolerant of the opinion of those
who do not think just as it does.

The next number OF the Maine
agricultural bulletin will treat upon
the construction and ventilation of
farm buildings. In the usual circular
asking for answers to questions the
department says: mo subject that
engages the attention of the farmer
is more worthy of careful considera-
ton than the construction and SAM =
tary arrangement of his buildings.
The home is the centre of the farm
A well-located, well-ventilated, con-
veniently arranged, sunny and at
tractive home adds much to the health
aud happiness of the farmer and his
family; and a barn which affords COM
Portable and healthful quarters for
his animals, commodious storage for
crops and convenience and economy
of time in the performance of the
barn work, and which provides for
the economical manufacture and saw
ing of manure, is an important factor
in his success"

A very important step was taken
Saturday in the converting in Wash
ington of the special board of con-
sulting engineers who will settle the
question of whether the Panama
canal shall be a lock canal or built at
sea level. The board expects to get
its report ready for transmission to
Congress in December. 1t is thought
likely that President Roosevelt will
send very urgent message on the
subject of the canal to Congress, max
ing some definite proposal as to the
work, and defining the sort of canal
that should be built, instead of leav-
ing the question open any longer.
The chief objection to sea level
canal will be that it will cost more and
take longer to build. The lock canal
can be built in from six to eight years,
while the sea level one would take
from ten to twelve years. The ques-
ton Of money does not SO much stand
in the way as the time, and it is said
also that If the traffic of the canal in
creases to warrant it in the next fifty
years, that the canal can gradually be
changed from lock to sea level with
out greatly incommoding traffic.

ELLSWORTH, Sept. 4, 1905.
To the Editor Of The american:
Our grandfathers tell US that in their
day wheels were not used, nor roads made
in our State; only paths for foot and
horseback. But as the people demanded
Injuries, the wheeled vehicles came and
roads had TO be improved for their use and
all the people enjoyed the benefit.
Doubtless there were kiekers agains. the
innovation. But who could now enum-
crate the blessing and good cheer that
have descended TO us from their use? Still,
"a horse is vain thing for safety and
many lives lost and bones broken is the
record.
Another step forward, and the automo-
bile is here. II desire, for business OF
pleasure, to ride over the public high
ways, is it not my right TO avail myself OF
any legal mode of transportation that
seems TO me best? And if the auto appeals
to me as the best, shall not use it?
But it frightens horses; sometimes
death and destruction follow in its wake
Already fearful record, and yet it is only
the beginning. 1t must be years before
all horses can be trained to be safe: as
young horses are continually coming in
and almost invariably afraid Of the
''thingn to the danger point.
What shall we do? Ought we, as we
have the power, TO bar them ont OF our
slater My answer is, no. Ought we, then,
to suffer without help? answer, no.
My plan is TO divide the time with
them. Allow none on the roads before &
O'Clock a. m; then allow them from until
II m.-three hours; at which time all SC
desiring could avoid the roads. Again re-
serve IL to 8 p. M, and allow the autos
from 3 to 6, and none from at night to s
the next morning. This would be nc
great hardship, and the people would have
some Of the peaceful hours they once en-
loyed. s. L. LORD.

A correspondent of the Lewiston Jour
nal tells a story OF fox-tarming at Trenton.
This is it: SIN Trenton, near the Bayside
section, ]. D. Remick and Harvey Moore
have several young foxes OF rare color,
the silver gray and black fox, which are
attracting the attention OF trappers of
Hancock Il is said the black fox is be-
coming exceedingly rare, and when found
brings fancy prices in the market for its
fur, ranging from $50 to 500, and while
the gray fox is also valuable the price COM
manded is considerably less. Next spring
in May the number of foxes will be large
ly increased at the Trenton farm, and If
the owners are successful in raising them,
they expect to 90 into the business quite
extensively. As it is an entirely new in
dustry for Hancock county, there are many
interested, especially among the hunters
and trappers.n

The Auto Terror.

WEST FRANKLIN, Sept. 2, 1905.
TO the Editor Of The American:
In your issue OF Aug. 80 / noticed an
article over the signature of B. r. Sowle,
of Ellsworth, ''auto terror owner and
''public benefactor". In the same issue
noticed an item stating that a horse
OF Senator Hale became frightened at
Mr.. Sowle's automobile, throwing the
coachman, breaking three ribs, etc.
All will not murder, but there is law
to protect people from those who do. Mr..
Sowle ends his communication prettily.
hoping the time will come when the far
mer will jump into his machine and go to
church on a Sabbath morning.
In country town the roads are narrow
and many horses become unmanageable at
the sight of the automobile coming
upon them, throwing the occupants, muir
dering or gripping them, smashing the
carriages. One woman died from injuries
received by the horse which she was driv-
ing becoming frightened by an automobile
The women and children have been &C
customed to drive through these towns on
pleasant afternoons in summer calling on
friends and thoroughly enjoying them
selves, frequently combining bushes,
with pleasure, driving to Ellsworth and
leaving considerable cash with the mer-
chants there, but it is past now, and all on
account of those combinations that post
as public benefactors"

has charms for other than savage breasts,
though not more desirable as companions.
He was playing the violin in the twi-

The brown tail moth has invaded Han
cock county. State Entomologist Hitch
ings reports that on recent visit to Bar
Harbor, while inspecting piece of nur-
sery land containing about twenty five
acres, a large number of the moths were
discovered, which would seem to indicate
that unless the inhabitants OF that section
get after the winter nests this fall, there
will be a healthy colony of the moths
there next summer. Nothing can be done
in the way of destroying the nests until
the leaves fall from the trees when the
winter nests which the caterpillars will
soon be making can easily be seen From
that time until the following April, the
people will have an opportunity of re-
moving the winter nests and destroying
them. As each nest contains from $50 TO
800 of the little caterpillars, ii can be seen
what it means to allow a single nest to
escape destruction.

HALF A SCORE DEAD IN
GREATER NEW YORK.

New York, July 1S.-Late returns
from the hospitals show ten as the
total dead from vest erdays terrific
heat in and about New York. More
than one hundred cases OF prostration
were reported by the police. Every
where in the city thousands of per-
sons spent the night on roofs and
doorsteps, while the park benches
were crowded. Sleep was almost out
of the question, except under most
favorable conditions, especially on the
east side and in the quarter known as
the tenderloin.
Owing to a strike inaugurated by
700 ice men in the employ of the Am
erican ice company, discomforts Of
the heat wave were magnified to-day
in many sections of the city.
Brooklyn seemed TO suffer from the
beat even more than Manhattan.
Seven of the dead lived there and
the ambulance service for all the hos
pitfalls worked almost necessarily,
eleven calls being received in 25 min
utes.

has been constantly under fire. Five
times the Office has been investigated

necessary to retain it and the organi-

there never was a time when he was

trial and while the two boys were be-
ing taken to Jail, one charged the
other with getting him into trouble
and a quarrel ensued which was over
heard by a lawyer named Gets. The
latter was called to testify in behalf
of the state at the trial which resulted
in a ten year sentence for each of the
prisoners. An appeal to the Supreme
Court was taken and the chief point
set up was that the evidence was
wholly hearsay and not complete. In
brief opinion Chief Justice Truly, OF
the Supreme Court, held otherwise.
