G0SNOLD CELEBRATION

Falmouth, Mass. Aug. 5.-The at
tention of all Cape Cod. including res
idents and summer visitors, is alb
sorbed this week In the celebration or
the tercentenary OF the landing of
Bartholomew Gosnold on the shores
of Falmouth. The observance of this
historical event, under the auspices
of the Falmouth board OF trade ana
industry. takes the form Of pageant
reproducing the arrival and landing
OF Gosnold ana some of the subsequent
events of his career.
Other events that make up the pro.
gram OF the weeks celebration include
bonfires along the shore, an extrava-
CANT display Of fireworks, n great wat
or carnival, literary exercises with
historical addresses by prominent men,
parades, athletic sports, the dedica-
ton OF a monument to the memory OF
the seamen of Falmouth, receptions
and miscellaneous festivities. Cover
nor Curtis Guild, Rear Admiral Chas.
II. Rockwell and a number of other
men OF note are TO participate In the
celebration.
The significance OF the celebration
OF the Bartholomew Gosnold tercen.
tenary Is that Gosnold was the EARL.
est New England cclonizer. preceding
the Pilgrim Fathers by eighteen years,
and that he preferred the north Allan
tic coast TO Virginia as a site
for English colonies. The lit
tie colony he planted In the
Buzzard's Bay Island now called
Cuttyhunk In the spring OF 1902 did
not last. The colonists were too few
In number, and were not OF the right
fibre TO deal with the Indians and
subject the sandy soil to the plow.
But Gosnold. who named Cape COD
and placed the felicitous name or
Martha's Vineyard on the charts or
North America. was firm in HIS con-
viction OF the desirability OF the New
England soil and climate for coloni-
zatlon.

John p. Jones, the seer of North

tending to the letting of some county

"You can put me Gown as Roose-

"And who Is your second choice?''

Roosevelt or nothing for me-"
"How about Foraker?"
Foraker has always been regarded

ROADS WILL BENEFIT
 BY THREE CENT FARE
Editor Silver Belt:

Editor Silver Belt:
 Dear Sir; I have just read in a Phoenix paper lengthy article from the railroad companies trying to show cause why the three-cent fare bill should not be passed by the legislature
 Their argument makes me smile. yes. laugh, as they laugh at us when we ask them if they do not think that sl .O0O IS too much freight on car when they run the same car to San Francisco. over one thousand miles farther, for less than one-half of $l,000.
 They say first that both sides should be understood and that the adoption of three-cent fare would not be fair to them, as Arizona is too sparsely settled. say that just so long as they charge hye or six cents per mile on the pas. senger train and from three to four hundred dollars on the emigrant ear we can hope for only slight increase in population. The population of Illinois, Iowa and Texas has almost doubled since the adoption of the lower freight rates and three-cent passenger fare and now the Texas legislature is going to shave off another half-cent, making 1t two and one-half cents per mile. and by doing so l predict that thousands
