What Does the Sheriff Think?
(BGr Harbor Record. }

Everyone is watching Bar Harbor and
wondering how we are to meet the present
season without the open saloon. From the
country about here people ask eagerly,
twill there be no liquor sold in Bar Har-
Dor this summer" 1t staggers them to
think of dry town. Just how it will act
on the summer business is question with
some, and there are those who say it will
hurt trade more than one realizes.
There are Others who believe differently.
The money formerly spent for liquor and
slot machines, and in such ways will be
spent in legitimate channels. The grocers
and provision dealers, the clothing and
dry goods dealers will get larger share.
Men will have more money to pay bills
with and storekeepers will not have to
carry so many.
Another advantage is that probably the
ships will be allowed to come here il there
is no liquor sold, and everyone knows how
much of a benefit their coming is to the
place. Every store-keeper in town is
benefited and the whole public enjoys the
fun of having them about.
just how the hotels will manage to ae-
| commodate their guests is a question, but
it looks now as If Bar Harbor would be
| free of the open saloon during the coming
| summer

selves of advantages which would fit them

helpful to many students who will ever

DIR. Grindle took an active interest in
public affairs, and always gave his sup
port to the cause of temperance and every
moral reform. He was a member of the
State legislature in 1895, and was State
senator in 1897 and 1899.
The town has lost good citizen. No
worthy cause ever appealed to him in
vain. With generous hand he relieved the
needs of those whom he knew to be in
want, and he will long be missed in the
places he has so faithfully filed.

Joseph II. johnson, of Bluehill, who
died March %, was the eldest son OF the
late Seth H. and Sarah Norton johnson.
He was born April 3, 1919, and was, there
fore, nearly fifty-siS years OF age at the
time of his death.
He attended the common schools and
| Bluehill academy, and acquired an educa-
tion which, combined with practical
ability, made him an unusually success
| full business man. Faithful, active and
| industrious, he had filed for years the
position OF superintendent of the White
Granite Co., and had charge of both the
quarrying and the cutting OF the stone
an amount of care which is usually borne
by two men.
Mr.. johnson enjoyed social life when
ever he had the time to meet with the
! fraternal orders OF which he was a MEM
Der; it was pleasure to him and he was
highly respected by his brethren of the
masonic lodge, the Odd Fellows and the
grange. He was one of the few remain
ing charter members of Bluehill lodge, 1.
| o. o. F., and worked earnestly in its early
| days for its success, having his reward in
seeing it one of the strongest lodges in the
State.
He had been a trustee of the George
Stevens academy for some time, and was
one of the executive committee at the time
of his death.
Mr.. johnson had one son, Fred, by his
first wife, who was Miss Gray, OF Brooks
vile. His second wife was Miss Lila,
daughter OF James Long, of East Bluehill.
| The only child OF this union was daugh-
| ter Minnie, whose death, a few years ago,
at the age Of fifteen, brought great sor-
row to the home. Mr.. johnson also leaves
! one sister-Mrs. Annie Graves, and one
| brother Frank.
The funeral was largely attended, the
Mssons and Odd Fellows leading in the
procession to the cemetery. The floral
offerings were choice and appropriate a
sheaf of wheat crossed by sickle of flow
ers with the letters "P. OF HI, from the

shown her in her great loss and for the
beautiful flowers which were tokens of
remembrance and esteem.

This community was shocked last Mon
day morning to learn of the death in Seat
tie, Wash, on Sunday, April 2, of Everard
G. Smith, a former resident OF this city.
No particulars have yet been received.
Mr.. Smith was the son of the late
Joseph F. Smith. He was born in Els
worth forty years ago, and lived here until
about eight years ago when he went to
Seattle, where for the past seven years he
has been in business for himself. Here he
was in the fruit and confectionery business
in the store now occupied by A. F. Stock

He leaves widow, who is the daughter
of ex-Register OF Probate Charles p. Dorr,
and one son-Dana, who is about sixteen
years of age; a mother, Mrs. Emily Smith,
and one sister Mrs. L. III. Cushman, with
whom the mother makes her home.

THE BIG DAM.
viii II be Built?-Rumors that IL Is
TO Come.
tBansor Commercially

Within the next few months there will
be begun, according to a statement made
Saturday morning to the Commercial by
Fred W. Aver, on site to be chosen later,
but to be located either on the Penobscot
or Union river, the construction OF an
electrical plant for the manufacture and
storage of electricity for power purposes.
The plant win be built with capital fur
nished by Mr.. Aver, OF Bangor, and
number OF Portland and Boston capital
lists.
The men who are interested in this pro-
ject are some of the best-known business
men in New England. Their purpose Is
to build plant to furnish electric power
for the manufacturing plants and any
others who may wish to possess them
selves of the advantages accruing from
the use OF electricity in place of coal or
other fuel as power.
The site has not been chosen yet, but OF
several which have been considered it is
probable that the new plant will be built
either at Bradley or Ellsworth. At Brad
ley an excellent water power is offered at
Msrsh's rips, while il built on the Union
river the plant will be located in Ellis
worth.
1t is the purpose of the men interested
to provide power not only for any manu-
featuring plants located in the near vicin-
ity OF the power plant, but to extend the
wires SO as to carry the electricity gener-
ated to remote points. 1t is aimed to fur
nish electric power for plants now using
water or steam power, and to encourage
the building of new manufacturing plants.
Electricity for power can be furnished
at much lower rates than either water or
quate plant for the developing Of electric
power in such quantity as is desired by
large manufacturing plants, 1t is expected
that many new industries will be induced
to locate in this section.
The location of the plant will depend on
the cost OF obtaining a suitable site.
After the satisfactory figures have been
made and the necessary engineering work
! completed, the work OF construction will
begin Just as soon as the ground is in
condition for work, and inside of year
the plant will be in position TO furnish
electricity in large quantities. The East
ern Manufacturing Co., at South Brewer,
will probably be the first to make use of
the electricity developed by the new plant.
Electricity has been found to do the work
better and be cheaper in the long run than
coal or any other fuel.
Manufacturing plants which are in
reach OF an electric plant of sufficient size
to furnish the required power are using
electricity TO turn their wheels and 1t is
becoming more and more of factor in
the industrial development of the country.
The building OF such plant as is con-
tempiated means much to eastern Maine,
and its erection will be welcomed more
than any other new industry since the
building OF the Great Northern mill 10
Millinocket.

bodies comprising Congress on these
matters is not difficult to prophesy.
The lower House, the members oil
which are dependent on their constit-
uents for their place, necessarily
reflects the views of the people, and II
is well known that the great general
public is with the President in his
desire to regulate railway rates.
On the other hand the Senate rep
resents to a large extent the great
corporate interests of the country,
and as body it will be no more in
clined to pass the railroad rate bill at
the coming session than it was at the
last. The new House of Representa-
tives will probably pass rate bill as
easily as the last one, but it will be in
the Senate that blockade can almost
surely be predicted. There are
senators from some of the greatest
states in the Union who represent in
the Senate not the people of their
states, but private corporate interests,
and it is these corporation senators
who will be responsible for the defeat
of che bill.
One thing alone can prevent the
miscarriage of these reforms, and
that is for the corporation senators to
be made to understand that they are
in the Senate to represent the people
and to fulfill their wishes.
During the summer months the
people will have an opportunity
through the press and other sources
to inform their senators what they
desire in the matter, and to find out
as we'll where their senators stand on
these important matters. Men who
are representing great trusts in the
Senate, whether they be the express
company trusts, railroad trusts, coal
trusts or any other monopoly, should
be catechised by the people and be
made to declare themselves. If rail-
way rate legislation is to be effected
in this or any other Congress, it can
only be by the people forcing the
senators to represent the states
Alright, and not according to the
dictates Of the companies.

OBITUARY.


"
DR.. Rufus P. Grindle, to whose death
brief reference was made in last weeks
paper, was born in Surry Nov. ID, 1s4e
His parents, Robert and Mercy varnun
Grindle, were born and grew up In
Brooksyille.
DIR. Grindle was educated in the com
mon schools, Bluehill academy, Eastern
Maine conference seminary, Bowdoir
medical school and the medical depart
ment of the University of the City of New
York, graduating from the last-named in
stitution in June, 1872, receiving certiA-
cate of honor for pursuing studies beyond
the regular course.
He began the practice of his profession
at Bluehill in the fall OF 1872, taking the
practice OF DIR. Stone and continuously
from that time until his last illness he
ministered to the needs of suffering hui
manity. His practice extended to Brooks
vile, Surry, Sedgwick, Penobscot and
other towns in the vicinity, and in many
homes there is sorrow and a realization OF
personal loss.
On June 2, 1874, DIR. Grindle married
Mary Jane Sargent, daughter of Hon
William II. Sargent, of Castine; one
daughter, Lena Sargent, wife of Forrest
B. Snow, was born to the union. His
first wife died Feb. %, 1884. In October
1883, he married Lula E., daughter of F.
K. Mcintyre; three children were born
to them; of these, two, Jennie Alice and
Rufus Manly, survive him.
For many years DIR. Grindle had been
one of the most active members of the
Baptist church, and superintendent OF
the Sunday school for about twenty five
years. His heart was in the work, and he
was a most successful and efficient officer
At Sunday school convention he was
once asked what was the secret of success
in Sunday school work, and instantly he
made answer: Somebody must be will
ing to do more than his part.'i
she was always very much interested in
children and young people, and laboret
earnestly and increasingly for the Sunday
school and the public schools. He wa.

Inc industrial OutiOOk.
This community will learn with the
sincerest regret that the factory of
the Union Shoe Manufacturing Co.,
which will shut down on April Is, is
likely to remain closed permanently.
The factory has heen running for
the past fifteen years sustained dur
ing all that time BY local capital, and
continued many times under adverse
circumstances. The management has
finally concluded that it is not good
business to continue, and it is not
likely that any group of capitalists
can be found who will have the
temerity to start up in the face of
the difficulties that confront shoe
manufacturing in this section.
During its life OF fifteen years the
company has paid but three dividends
of per cent. each-an average of
per cent. per year on the investment,
and the stockholders hav=. concluded
that they cannot longer afford to keep
their money invested in business
that brings such meagre returns.
The shut down means the throwing
out of employment of a round hun
dred hands who must seek other en-
ployment here or elsewhere, and it
takes out of circulation from 900 to
$1,000 week, loss that cannot fail
to be severely felt in this community
whose industrial conditions at best
are not reassuring.
Simultaneously with the dropping
out of shoe manufacturing in Ellis
worth comes the rumor that the big
dam project may be undertaken in
the near future. How much of fact
and how much of fancy there is in the
rumor we are as yet unable to say.
We reprint in our news columns an
article from the Bangor Commercial
of last Saturday which can be taken
for what it is worth.
We do not share the opinion SO
freely expressed about town that
ruin is staring this good city of ours
Ala bho AGtSCy VI uLdk llO LAS
nothing in store for US in the way of
successful manufacturing enterprises.
Few towns in New England posse So
more natural advantages for manu-
featuring than Ellsworth; a good
climate; rail and water communica-
tien; an enormous undeveloped water
power; surrounded by thriving com
munities, for which it is and always
will be the natural trading centre.
All this counts for much. What is
needed are the brain, energy and
enterprise that have made less
favored localities prosperous applied
to the situation here. These may be
a long time coming, but they will
come. The hardwood factory is just
beginning to show the possibilities of
development along that line. Allied
industries are morally sure to follow.
The possibilities latent in the
business now being successfully con-
Quoted by the foundry and machine
company are large.
The growth of the banking business
in Ellsworth during the past decade
does not indicate any lack of funds
hereabouts. The postoffice receipts
have increased so per cent. in the
last five years.
These things do not indicate that
the town is in any immediate danger
of being wiped off the map. Let us
look up, not down; let us hope, not
despair.
