Com. Peary Lectures-Church Incor-
porated-Late Locals.
BAR HARBoR, April Is Especially -One of
the largest audiences which ever attended
lecture at Bar Harbor taxed the seating
capacity of the Casino Thursday evening
to listen to Commander Robert E. Peary,
the famous Arctic explorer. Com. Peary
told in an interesting and entertaining
manner of his previous attempt to reach
the north pole, and explained his plans,
with his reasons for his hopes of success,
for the expedition which is to be under
taken in the coming July.
The lecture was finely illustrated with
stereopticon views which gave the large
audience great deal of pleasure. Com.
Peary was introduced by f. N. Benson,
who had the honor of being one of the few
outside the members of the crew to be
launched on the Roosevelt.
The lecture was especially interesting to
Bar Harbor people, as Capt. Dix, who built
the Roosevelt, is a native OF Mt. Desert
Island, and Morris X. Jesup, the New
York millionaire, who is largely RESPONSE
BILE for the financial backing of the ex-
plorer, has cottage at Bar Harbor and
has visited this resort annually for many
years.
The audience was delighted with the
lecture, and greatly impressed by the
earnestness and force of the speaker.

sunnunated.

The initial trip of the Percy ",
Capt. A. E. Smith, over the steamboat
line between Ellsworth and Atlantic
on Swans Island was made last We'd
nesday. She had on board a party of
Ellsworth business men who made the
trip for the purpose of looking over
the grounds, of interviewing repre-
sentative business men at the various
landings as to the outlook for business
not only for the line but also between
themselves, and of satisfying them
selves, so far as possible, of the prac-
tieability of the scheme.
In another column may be found a
report of the social side of the trip,
but underneath it all was the serious
purpose of getting into closer touch
with sections of Hancock county that
have heretofore in their business rela-
tions been closer to cities west of us.
like Rockland and Belfast, than with
Ellsworth, the county's shire town
The possibilities that are likely to re-
suit from this contact seem likely to
be large. The establishment of the
line is hailed with delight all along the
route, and assurances of substantial
support we're encountered at every
landing.
These overtures for closer bushes,
and social relations ought to be, ane

must take the long circuitous route to
Rockland by boat, and thence by rail.
Under present conditions it takes a
letter two days to go from Atlantic to
any of the landings along the ronte.
Mckinley, for instance, is but six
miles away from Atlantic, as the crow
flies, and yet letter written in one
must travel 266 miles to reach the
other, and it will take two days to
do it.
A peti ion signed by representative
citizens at every landing on the route
and another signed by Ellsworth's
leading citizens, have already been
forwarded to Washington asking for
the establishment of new mail route.
That our business men are alive to
the opportunities for trade offered by
this line is evident from the fact that
already arrangements have been made
for series of excursions from points
down the bay to this city. The first
will be made to- morrow from Swans
Island, and if this proves successful it
will be followed by others.
The thing for the business men of
Ellsworth to do is 10 take hold all
together and by every means possible
assist in sustaining this line; it's good
sense it's good business; it's public
spirit it's not the biggest enterprise
in the world, but it is big enough to
the attention and the respect
of all. Every little helps. Larger
things are in the air hereabouts when
they get down to earth, we shall be
the better prepared to take care of
them for having been careful of the
things.

The Outlook for the Dam.

While absolutely definite informa-
tion regarding the building OF the big
dam at Ellsworth cannot be given,
the indications all point to the conclu
sion that it will be, and that work will
commence before lon.
A gentleman of high standing and
of keen business judgment, and also
financially interested in the project,
stated to THE AMERICAN to- day that
the dam is as sure to be built as the
sun is to rise to- morrow morning. He
went further, and said work would
actually begin within thirty days.
The address of Mr.. Halman at last
Wednesdays meeting of the city
government, in which he asked if the
city would do certain things in the
event the dam is built is sig aificant;
even more 80 is the action taken by
the board, assuring him that in that
event the board would do as he re-
quested.
Orders have been given to an Els
worth attorney to proceed with the
looking up of titles to land that will
have to be purchased because of the
fiowage, and this work is now in
progress.
1t is fact that the bonds can be
placed at satisfactory price the
moment the purchasers can be assured
that the interest on them can be met,
and we are told on high authority
that contract is drawn and perhaps
by this time signed that will assure
the needed income.
AT all events the outlook is very
bright; those in position to know
what they are talking about assure us
that they have the utmost confidence
that the scheme is about to be con-
summated.
