The Mill Proposition

AT meeting of the board of trade
and business men of Ellsworth, Friday
evening, reported in full elsewhere in
this issue, Arnold B. Sanford, of Bos-
ton, cotton yarn manufacturer, sub
mitted a proposition looking to the
building here of large mill.
A mill such as it is proposed to build
would mean first the expenditure
here of large sums of money for con-
struction. The completed plant would
cost $3.50, 900. 1t would do an annual
business at the start of a round half a
million dollars. 1t would bring to
Ellsworth some 400 families, or ap-
proximately 1000 people, with all that
this would mean to the merchants of
Ellsworth.
1t is unnecessary to elaborate here
on the value, the Importance, which
such an industry would be to this
city. This, we believe, is fully ap-
preciated by every man in Ellsworth.
With the conservatism which is char
acteristic of Maine, there was no
wild display of enthusiasm at the
meeting the other night, but if
Mr.. Sanford wants further assurance
than the meeting gave him of the
sentiment of the community, he
should hear the expression of the
citizens as they talk it over among
themselves. With one voice Els
worth says: "We want it."
Mr.. Sanford, candidly admitting
when he came here that he expected
to find nothing favorable, assured the
meeting that he found everything
favorable. incidentally he praised
the magnificent water power which he
found here.
We start, then, with this fact in
our favor; The location for such mill
is advantageous. Mr.. Sanford says he
'would not be afraid to build heren
And when we take in the full mean
ing of that statement--all the factors
which must be considered in choosing
the location for an industry of this
magnitude we would ask for no
stronger endorsement.
Mr.. Sanford does not come to us
asking favors. He is man of estab-
ished reputation in his line of manu-
featuring He presents pure business
! proposition. He asks no bonuses. He
hoes ask, or will ask-for definite
proposition has not yet been submit
ted ~ that a certain amount of the
capital stock be provided for by Els
worth men. II makes no difference
whether this money comes from Els
worth men or elsewhere-it will be III
TO us to raise q certain portion of the
capital. The money thus subscribed
Is in no sense a bonus. 1t win be al
investment in stock of the company
and with the knowledge of what SINH.
lar mills are doing elsewhere, anC
what Mr.. Sanford has done, there il
every reason to believe that it will b,
! good investment.
1t is hardly necessary to say tina

''We who have THE AMERICAN every
week do not appreciate it as one who sees
it after long sea voyage" writes our East
Surry correspondent. Recently I re-
ceived letter from New York written
by Arthur Weber, one of our sailor
boys, who had just returned TO the states
after voyage of more than 5000 miles.
He writes: Il got a dear old ELLSWORTH
AMERICAN as soon as possible after land
ing, and looked for Surry news. Il was
dated May II, and there was quite gossipy
letter. write to thank you for so much
of home. He also writes long letter de-
scribing his voyage and the places he
visited, which is very interesting. He
spoke of his first voyage at sea nearly
twenty years ago as a sailor on the
schooner Arboreer, 57.59 gross tons.
He is now on a freight steamer of s,67l
tons as third mate. He has license al
first mate of any ocean freight steamer

He adds If there are any of my olo
schoolmates pining for fear they mus
die old maids, just let me know when

the special agents who are now in the
South American fields to study the
trade relation of the southern republics
as they have bearing on European ex-
ports. This is large question and one
in which the merchants of this country
should be and probably at some future
date will be much interested. The re-
ports that have been already received
at the State Department from the
special agents and the consuls in South
America indicate as in fact nearly all
our foreign trade reports indicate that
the American manufacturer does not
want the foreign business, Certainly
the few who have gone after such trade
have done so in half hearted way and
have shown degree of ignorance as to
conditions that would have meant their
financial humiliation had they applied
such methods in the United States.
