more spent fish lave been found than
usual and the yield of trout eggs is be-
low the average. The commission will!
as usual make up the deficiency by
purchasing some hundreds of thou

Two peculiar condolences occurred
III connection with the sliding into the
sea- of the famous old tide mill at
South Harpswcll. a year ago. Mrs.
Clara Louise Burllham. the noted writ
er who spends her summers on Bail
eys Island, and who wrote DR.. Latimer
and other Casco Bay stories, pub
li:hed another Casco Bay book which
has since become widely known and
which is called "The Opened Shut
ters." TIL" scene of the story is laid
OH Bailcys Island and South Harps-
WELL md center, around the old tide
mill. The shutters of the old mill for
years have been closed. and Mrs.
Burnham worked out her story in such
Il manner that it came to an end by
the shutters of the old mill being
opened. and it was from this incident
that it got its title. Strange to say,
wh.a the old mill slid into the sea Sun
day night its two upper stories were
left standing out of the water. and the
strangest part of all is that the shock
threw open the shutters of the old mill
and they are now swinging in the
wind. 1t will be recalled that Mrs.
Durham presented copy Of her book
t. Capt. Chas. e. Morrill, of the steam
er Aucocisco and on the fly leaf Of the
book she wrote that ii was due to Capt
MorrillS heroism at the time of The col
lisiOn of his steamer Scbascodegan and

harhor two or three years ago that the
story was written. Strangely enough
Capt. Morrill, finished reading the story
Sunday night and as nearly as he can
estimate when he was reading that
part Oe tn" story where it tells about
the opening of the shutters of the old
mill. the structure was probably slid
ing into the water and the shutters

Chicago, Feb. 22.-The anniversa-
ry of the birthday of George Wash
ington is being generally observed
today. The principal celebration of
the day was in the hands of the I'm
ion League Club. Former President
Grover Cleveland was the orator of
the day His address il full was as
follows:
Mr.. Cleveland said:
The American people are but little
given to the observance of public
holidays This statement cannot be
disposed of by the allegation that
our national history is too brief to
allow the accumulation of days deserv
ing civic commemoration. Though
it is true that our life as a people,
according to the standard measuring
the existence of nations, has been a
short one, it has filed with glorious
achievements; and though it must be
conceded that it is not given to us to
see in the magnifying mirage of an
tiquity, the exaggerated forms of Am
erican heroes, yet in the bright and
normal hight shed upon our beginning
and growth. are seen grand and hero
ic men who have won imperishable
honor and our everlasting rememb-
rance We cannot therefore excuse
lack of commemorative inclination
and a languid interest in recalling the
notable incidents of our Country's
past under the plea of lack of COM
memorative material; nor can we in
this day explain our neglect adequate
ly to observe days which have actual
ly been set apart for the especial ma
nifestation of our loving appreciation
of the lives ald the deeds of Ameri-
cans, who in crises of our birth and
development have sublimely wrought
and nobly endured :
If we are inclined to look for other
excuses, one may occur to us which,
though by no means satisfying, may
appear to gain a somewhat fanciful
plausibility by reason of dts reference
to the law of heredity. 1t rests upol
the theory that those who secured
hold and watched over its weak infaa
cy, were so engrossed with the per-
sistent and unacceptable labors that
pressed upon them, and their hopes
and aspirations led them so constant
ly to thoughts of the future that
retrospection nearly became with
them an extinct faculty, and that thus
it may have happened that exclusive
absorption in things pertaining to the
present and future, became so embed
ded in their natures as to constitute
trait of character descendible TO
their posterity even to the present
generation.
There is another reason which
might be advanced in mitigation of
our lack of commemorative enthus-
iasm which is so related to our pride
of Americanism, that if we could be

Hook of Holland. Feb. 22-After
thirty houdse of almost incessant ef-
fort and splendid work, Dutch life
boat men reached the steamer Ber-
lin, and ten survivors in the after
part of the vessel were saved. Buffet
ed and driven back time after time,
the sturdy Dutchmen never relaxed
their attempts in behalf of the hand
full of shipwrecked people. On the re-
ceding of the tide and some improve
ment of the weather they succeeded
in taking the few persons still living
from the wreck at $3.50 this afternoon
Hook of Holland Feb. 22.-Efforts
to rescue the handful of survivors
who have chung to the remnant of
the wrecked steamer Berlin for "a
hours were continued through the
night, but were futile. Furious seas
and a heavy snow storm ragged all
night, making it impossible for the
life boats ito connect with the wreck.
The cold was intense, but daylight
revealed the fact that six or eight
persons had survived.
Captain Parkinson, of the Holt
steamship line, who was on his way
to Amsterdam On the Berlin to join
his vessel, is the sole survivor who
thus far has reached the shore. He
said this morning that the catastrophe
was due to the fact that the Berlin

she was entering the waterway, and
before she was able to recover her

said she Immediately crunched up

ARTESIA COUNTY
BOOMERS STILL BUSY


Special to the Daily Record.
Santa Fe. N. M, Feb. 22.-Altao'
both houses adjourned yesterday I'M
til Monday, the AGtesia county advo-
Gates are working as hard as ever
today, and pretend to be greatly en-
couraged at their progress. There Is
a rumor, and it has some substantial.
basis, that there will be several coun-
ty bills passed by the house within a
few days, and that Artesia county
will be one of them. Yesterday Mr.
Beach introduced a bill for the Gre
alton of Pyramid county from the
southern part of Grant county, and
the rumor has it that it will go thu
with the Artesia county bin.
The Artesia county lobby here ap-
peared to be sufficiently sure of it's
ground TO attempt a forced compro-
mise with Cameron, but the council
man refuses to consider anything.
The Artesia county people nave cans-
ed the Republican members to hold
more than one caucus, but so far no
thing has developed to Indicate the
passage of the bill, unless 1t Is the
disposition upon the part of several
members to pass all county bills
through the house and put them up
to the council The general feeling
here is that the fight over the pro-
posed county of Artesia may be
transferred to the council by the
agreement of the majority.

which seeks under the guise of poll
tical earnestness to blot out Ameri-
can brotherhood and to cu1laingly per

Jealous insistence upon their man

Political parties are exceedingly
human; and they easier fall before
temptation than individuals, by so
much as partisan success is the law
of their life and because their respon-
sibility is impersonal 1t is easily
recalled that political organizations
have been quite willing to utilize
gusts of popular prejudices and re
sentiment to encourage voters to hope
for some measure of relief from eco
nomic abuses, and yet to stand pat"
on the day appointed for realization.
We have fallen upon a time when
it beaooves every thoughtful citizen
whose political beliefs are based on
reason. and who cares enough for his
manliness and duty to save them from
barter to realize that the organiza
tion of the party of his choice needs
watching, and that at times it is not
amiss critically to observe its direc-
ton and tendalcy. This certainly
ought to result in our Countrys gain
and it is only partisan impudence that
condemns a member of a political par
ty, who on proper occasion submits
its conduct and the loyalty to prin-
ciple of its leaders, to a court of Re-
view over which his conscience, his
reason, and his political understand
ing presides.

The land we live in seems to be

land that lives in us? Are we sure
that we are doing all we ought to
keep it in vigor and health? Are we
keeping it's roots well surrounded by
the fertile soil of loving allegiance,
and are we furnishing them the invig-
Grating moisture of unselfish fidelity?
The alnd we live in is safe long as
we are dutifIIIly careful of the land
that lives in us. But good intentions
and fine sentiments will not meet the
emergency. If we could bestow upon
the land that lives in us the care it
needs it is indispensable that we
should recognize the weakness of our
human nature, and our susceptibility
to temptations and influences that
interfere with a full conception of our
obligations; and thereupon we should
see to it that cupidity and selfishness
do not blind our consciences or dull
our efforts
