n. NJ. Bean of Camden Says Bigger
Schooner Is 10 Come

ii. NJ Hean of C;tlhdtn, one of the most
prominent builders of wooden sailing YES
sells in the New England states ana 4 vet
eran in the business. was in Bangor
Thursday and talked Interestingly with a
Commercial man regarding the present
ana future status of the slp-builGing in
dust,y.
Just now sail Mr. Bean Few vessels
are in the course of construction on ac-
count Of q variety of reasons. For on.
thing the price Of material is extremely
high. Not only lumber but iron and steel
and all the materials that 20 into vessel
are way up. Freights have been exceed
im%lv low fol- some time and this has had
the effect Of lettering capital from invest
ing in new bottoms. However, freieht.i
are picking mp again now and we hope
that there will be an early revival Of the
shipbuildnG trade"
Mr.. Bean is a firm and optimistic he
lever in the future Of wooden sailing
ships. His experience has been large both
as 4 builder ana owner Of sailing vessels
and he does rot hesitate for n moment to
express tn" opinion that as large cargo
carriers sailing vessels will in the future
take precedence over steam driven ships.
Mr.. Bean built the first siy-maSted
schooner that ever went overheard and
he gives it out as his conviction that YES
sells Of this type ana even larger schoOn-
ers will he tine cargo boats of the next
generation. Mr.. Bean is a part owner o.
the only scven-master in tile world, the
Thomas W. Lawson, which has given am
pie proof of her worth and has recently
been chartered as an oil carrier between
Texas ports and New York and Phladel-
phia for n period of five years
Mr.. Rcan argues in favor Of the larger
vessels that it takes n crew much smalle:'
in proportion to han'll" 4 Tm'-tnn schoon-
or than it docs to man one of smaller ton

gines and steam winchcs for handling

master whose tackle has to be manned by
hand power. With about the same cost
OF operation. the carrying capacity Is far
greater and the net profits give proper
tionately larger rate of interest on cap
ital invested.
Mr. Bean asserts that SO far rs actual
handling goes the larger type of vessel
is as easy to maneuVer rs the smaller,
| and that there is practically no reason
wnv the 5nNo- tonner should not be the ship
Of the future Mr.. Rean saws that the
size of vessels will he limited only by the

FORCIVIC IMPROVEMENT
The Ladies of Prescott Interested in
 Beautifying the City.

One of the features of the Self Culture Club of Prescott, an or ganization comprising heleading women of the town, is to advance the interests of Civic Improve ments.
 At their meeting eldyesterday afternoon at Mrs. Young'S, it was decided to take steps toward i'm proving the City Park, and to that end, next Tuesday has been set apart as a day on which every woman in Prescott, interested in the work, meet at the park with hoe and rake, and give the place general cleaning Those whogo are asked to take their dinner, and put in the entire day. The men may assist but the request is not so urgent on their part, as their daily avocation might pre- vent losing the time. But along this line might not the men join in the work, and instead of de voting the time exclusively to the park, give the entire townagener- al house cleaning. Let every citi- zen be requested by the Mayor to turn out en masse, with rake, and shovel, and wagon, and torch and give the city a thorough over hauling-a sort of municipal housekeeping.
 Just think what might be done in Prescott if all citizens should suspend work and business for neday, and devoteit to a thorough and systematic cleaning of every street, alley, vacantlot, back yards and other public or private prem iSeS.
 The city could scarcely be rec ognized the next day.
 Some may say that it is not practicable, but it is practicable if the people will only think so
 There are numerous holidays during the year, days given over to play or recreation, and would it not be much more profitable to make it day for an active cam paign against dirt and rubbish?
