made, and the following day the boat,
upside down and anchored by the drag,
was found near Gibson's island.
Stinson's body vas found on the shore
of the island. There was no water in the
lungs, and the superstition is that he sue
ceeded in reaching shore where he died of
exhaustion or exposure. The body of
Thompson was not recovered.
Stinson was the son of Charles Stinson,

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY II, 1906.

A better Illustration of the love for
the old home is not often afforded
than that of the remarkable reunion of
former Ellsworth people who met in
Boston last Wednesday evening. The
story is briefly told in our news col
umns. 1t suggests the p-opriety of
keeping up that sort of thing. 1t is
too often the custom of those living
away from the large centres. to de-
plore their limitations, but occasions
like this amply demonstrate that all
the allurements of the city cannot
quench the Unborn love of man for the
home of his childhood.

southern states, have hesitated at nothing
which would stay the legislation. They
are truthful enough when talking and as
sociating with vessel-ovners and Others
interested in the bill, when meeting IN
the capital corridors or in the hotel lob
bies, but no exaggeration or misrepresen-
tation is too strong for them in the COM
mittee-room. They have been determined
to defeat the bill by hook or by crook.
They have been met in the most deter
mined fashion. Their misrepresentation
before the merchant marine committee
were branded as plain lies. As the south
ern pilots a few years ago shrewdly got
under the protection of the American fed
Grafton of labor, they have tried to enlist
the power of that great organization
against the bill. But while the campaign
for the abolition of unjust fees is not yet
over, the prospects were never so bright as
now 1t is not unlikely that the bill will
become law before the ffty-ninth Con-
gress sdiourns.

Annual Meeting of Hancock County
Agricultural Society.
BLUEHILL, Jan. 10 (special)-At the
annual meeting of the stockholders and
directors of the Hancock county agricul-
sural society held in Bluehill, Jan. 10, the
following officers were chosen for the en-
suing year; F. P. Merrill, president; E.
L. Osgood, vice president; C. S. Snowman,
secretary; M. P. Hinckley, treasurer; w.
j. Creamer, A. {. Osgood, W. H. Hinck-
ley, George A. Morse and John NJ. Snow,
directors.
Reports show the society to be in very
prosperous condition. 1t has built large
and commodious cattle barn; repaired the
sheds and horse stalls; made fine stone
roller, and made other improvements in
the last year TO the amount of over 81 200.
Bills are all paid, and there is in the treas
ury between $500 and $500.
There has been paid to exhibitors at the
last fair Si2O.sO, and for trotting horses,
$3.50. This speaks well for the manage
ment.
1t would interest anyone to be in the
treasurer's Office about two weeks after
the fair and see the smiling faces of the
many exhibitors who won premiums pass
their orders and promptly receive check
from the treasurer, who always has smile
to go with the check.
All are made to feel that their efforts
TO make attractive exhibits at the fair
are appreciated, and they go home resolved
to make strenuous effort to improve
their stock and produce so that thsy can
make better exhibit at the next fair.

These assignments mean that Gov.
Burleigh will have large say about the
public building items in the omnibus bill
for all New England and New York, and
also for several other states and territories,
that are farther away from home.
He will be the man whom the New York
and New England members will seek out
to further their public building projects.
One of the hardest fights Maine ship
ping interests have participated in here
for years has been that of the past two
weeks on the bill to abolish compulsory
pilotage for sailing vessels in southern
ports. The bill was reintroduced early in
the session by Representative Littlefeld,
who has had the earnest support OF Repre-
sentative Burleigh and other members Of
the Maine delegation. Such bill has been
before the House for years, but 1T was only
in the last Congress that ii was favorably
reported. The action, however, came too
late to permit of action in the Senate and
House. This time the Maine men decided
to get the bill reported early, with the
idea that they would be more successful in
securing law. .l-..4 -...5..,.
