Before the government established
the coaling station &C East Lamoine,
experts of the navy department
spent months examining available
sites along the coast OF Maine, and
decided ths. the Lsmoine site was the
most desirable, physically and strate-
gically. This judgment has since
been endorsed by officers OF every
ship that has visited the station.
IL is perhaps unfortunate for the
government that the Bar Harbor
correspondent OF the Bangor Sesrs
was not one Of the board Of experts
who had the selection of the eoaling
station site in hand. In a recent
letter he makes the unfortunate acct
dent at the station last summer,
when one of the towers was blown
over, the text for an article on the
coaling station site. Judging from
his words, he is close TO the admins
tration, for he presumes 10 speak as
the mouthpiece of the government.
He writes:
The government now realizes that misf Ike
has been made. For the pts; sEo winters the
Lsnoibe siA'ioa might as well be l0csted at the
base OF the north pole as far a. accessibility 20
war vessels 1. concerned. The hArbor vas
frozen solid, aud the most inyortant station
near the foreign waters OF the Atlantic would
have been useless II The navy required coal
there The original Intention. ii Il said. vas TO
locate Il on one Of the ForcapiBe Islands. near
Bar HArbor. always accessible 10 The severesi
winter weather. Naturally rs location at L..
noioe proves al injury 70 Bar HAr5or 10 q
measure, the war vessels anchoEsBz there in
preference to Bar Harbor."
Ayel There's the rub! Bar Har-
Dor fingers itch for the dollars of the
jackies, and Bar Harbor eyes long for
the giamor of gold braid. Bus the
government in selecting a site for a
coaling station had in mind some
thing more than furnishing an added
attraction to Names most beautiful
summer resort.
Concerning the charge that "for
the past two winters the LamoiHe
station might as well be located at
the north pole'', Lamoine cores
pondent who has seen many winters
there writes us this week: There
never was and never viii be ice
enough in Freachman's bay to delay

1t seems from the text of the Chin
csc note that has just been received
in Washington, that China did not,
after all, ask for representation at the
peace conference at Portsmouth.
The note from her was received at
Washington and addressed in identi-
cal terms 10 the other powers, stating
that she would not agree to any
settlement OF the questions at issue
between Russia and Japan that did
not recognize her sovereign claims in
Manchuria. A similar warning has
been sent by the Chinese government
to st. Petersburg and to Toxic.
Whatever China has to say on the
subject probably will have but little
weight, but the mere fact that she has
thought it necessary to address such a
note to the negotiating powers, and to
define her position 10 the res. of the
world indicates that she has not all
the faith she might have in the as
suranees Of Japan that her war
against Russia was not for territorial
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and that she intended
TO return intact whatever territory Of
China she wressed from the Russians
on the mainland. China will, Of
course, be assured OF the moral sup
port of this government in preserv-
ing her integrity, but il would be a
little curious If the Portsmouth con-
ference brought about any agreement
between japan and Russia that would
call for warning on the subject from
the United States and the other
powers.

Chairman sbontg. Of the Panama

Chairman Shonts, of the Panama
canal commission, and the newly APP
pointed chief engineer, John F..
Stevens, have started for the isthmus
TO take their first look at the great
engineering problem on the ground.
Both of them are extremely hopeful,
and both agree that the cleaning up
of the isthmns and the Inauguration of
clubs and other entertainments that
viii keep the canal employees happy
and satisfied are very important
problems in the work. They viii be
dealt with as soon as practicable. Mr..
Shonts thinks that sea-leyel canal
viii take about twelve years to build,
but that a lock canal can be con-
structed in about FIVE years.

5. L. H., Of Canton, Ohio, writes THE
AMERICAN asking for information regard
ing the town Of Mckinley.
Mckinley is not town, but is village,
or settlement in the town of fremont,
one Of the four towns on Mt. Desert
island-the other three being Eden, Mt.
Desert and Southwest Harbor; the last is
new town, set OF from fremont by an
act Of the last legislature.
Mckinley is on the southern coast of
the island on the eastern side Of Bass
harbor, tbs village OF Bass Harbor being
on the opposite or western side. 1t is the
centre Of large fish interests.

The work OF the coming session of
Congress probably will be too great to
admit of any extensive investigation
into the question OF tariff revision.
There are several subjects in which
the President is deeply interested,
and tariff revision is one of them.
The Panama canal and railway rate
revision are two others, and there
probably will be a good deal to do in
the Philippines as result of Secre
tary Taft's trip there. just what will
have to be done to meet the treasury
deficit is not yet clear. Possibly an
increase OF the internal revenue taxes
may be adoped, but as much as the
executive would like thorough over
hauling of the tariff schedules, it is
probable that this will have to be put
of in favor Of some more speedy
temporary remedy.

The first of a series Of concerts which
will be given at the Casino on sunday
evenings by the twenty members Of the
Boston symphony orchestra was given
Sunday evening, and was a very success
full musical event, although the atten l.
ance was not as large as was expected.
AS it was the first concert, perhaps this
was not extraordinary, and a larger audi
enee viii no doubt greet the musicians
next Sunday evening. The first number
on the programme was by the Par Harbor
band for whose benefit the concerts are
given. Gustav strube conducted.
Arrangements for the horse show OF the
Bar Harbor fair association are going for
ward rapidly, and all the indications point
to very successful show.
The show viii be held as in previous
years at Robinhood park, and the dates
are August q, q and "a. Instead of
beginning the show in the morning and
continuing throughout the day, as has
been done previously, the events viii
begin at o'clock in the afternoon Of
each day.
Another departure viii be in having nc
| trotting races. To take the place of these
there viii be running races each day.
Among the different classes Will be four

horses, ponies, etc. Special excursion

Our Rural schools

ELLSWORTH FALLS. July 3, 1905.
To the Editor Of The American:
II has been very evident for long time
that something ought 70 be done so that
the pupils in the outlying districts OF
Ellsworth could have better advantages
for higher education than they do now;
but ii has been a difficult matter to ar
range; for now those living in the suburbs
either have to pay their board to attend
the high school or walk an unreasonable
distance; while their parents pay the same
taxes according to the amount of property
owned as those living right in town. Any
fair-minded person can see that this is not
just.
II the city cannot afford 10 transport
the pupils to and from the high school,
it can arrange, If it will, TO have two
higher grades added 10 all of our rural
schools, where the pupils can take the
same studies that they do in the high
school for The first two years, and receive
credit for the two years work done on
entering the high school.
This is no visionary scheme Of my own.
Tee same conditions have existed in other
towns, and they have formed central rural
schools to which the pupils have been
transported to study high school studies.
There is one town in this county
where the pupils from the rural districts
are entering the high school with
diplomas which fit them to enter the
junior class. They are doing good work,
and the experiment which they tried a
few years ago has proved decided success.

Our East Sullivan correspondent sug-
gests that it may be necessary for the
next legislature to enact law to permit
the shooting OF moose in self-defense
during close time. She writes: ssOn
July II two moose and large deer were
ON the warpath in West Gouldsboro.
Foster Bunker was leading Cow near the
townhouse when a moose gave battle. A
vigorous pounding with the rope drove
il over the fence into the pasture. An
other moose attacked a team on the high
way. The previous Saturday large deer
crossed Mr.. Doyle's moving field. Auto
mobiles are not the only dangers confront
ing the country people"

something win be done In that d.

BAR HARBoR, Jdly IS Especial - Bar
Hsrbor was honorrd last Wednesday
afternoon by visit from the Arctic ship
Roosevelt which spent few hours in the
harbor on her way to Sydney, Cape Bre-
ton. Very few people in town knew that
the boat would call here, but the news OF
her presence quickly spread. and crowds
l fccked TO the waterfront to see the famous
ship.
Commander Robert T.. Pesry, OF Arctic
fame, accompanied by Mrs. Peary, came
to Bar HArbor 10 say good bye to his Arm
friend, and the largest financial hacker Of
the expedition, Morris K. Jesup. Of New
York Mr.. Jesap was probably the only
person in town who knew that the Roose-
Welt or Com. peary was coming, and he
kept the secret well.

including Bishop Lawrence, OF Msssschu-

steam yacht, FL Plscits, late in the after
noon. to meet Com. and Mrs. Peary on the
arrival Of the train at Mt. Desert Ferry.
The distinguished guest and his wife
were taken aboard the Fl Placita, which
steamed down the bay in search Of the
Roosevelt, which was soon met, and both
vessels entered the harbor where the party
from the yacht was transferred TO the
Roosevelt.
Bishop Lawrence and Gen. Hubbard
made brief speeches. wishing the explorer
success in his stupendous undertaking,
and remarks were made by Com Peary
and Mr.. Jesup.
Then the party returned to the FL Pla-
cits and cheers were given for Com. Peary
and the Roosevelt.
During the time that the ship was in
harbor the shore front was lined with peo-
pie eager to see the boat, and the water
was alive with boats Of all descriptions
filed with people interested TO get q
nearer view of the Maine built ship which
carries Peary in search OF the pole.
A large number ayailed themselves OF
the privilege Of going on board the ship
Late in the evening the Roosevelt left the
harbor, ssluted by the booming Of can
non and the blowing of whistles from all
the steam craft in the harbor.
The two Pesry children. Robert and
Margarhita, came to Bar Harbor on the
Roosevelt. and were met here by their
parents, - no came by rail.
The contract for building the Roosevelt
was made at Bar Harbor last summer, and
Mr.. Jesup, who gave very large sum OF
money towards the fitting out Of the ex-
petition, is well known here where he
owns a cottage and has spent many sum
mers. The chief engineer Of the Rooes-
welt is George Wsrdwell, who has many
aequaintsnees here, having been en-
ployed here for several years by Corners
