A most successful exhibition of
paintings by two California. artists
Thad WEIGH and II. w. Hansen-has
Just been brought to close in Chicago
with the result that most of the work
has been sold. Thad Welch. whose
collection consisted of five very large
canVases OF Marin county scenes, never
mas better pictures on exhibition. These
paintings, three feet by six, gave him
an opportunity to depict California
scenery with that vigor and charm for
which he is noted. and never were the
Marin county hills with their beauti-
rui effects of light and shadow por-
trayed more effectively. Hansen
known as desert and animal painter
OF wonderful strength and virility.
had a powerful canvas, SO by so, OF
western life that sold the first day
Since then five other canvases have
been disposed of at top prices. Han
sens work has been purchased by
notable foreign visitors to this country,
among whom are Lord Durand of Lon
don and Count Ooshkoff of Moscow
The work of both Welch and Hansen
is exhibited in California almost ex-
clusively at the Hotel Potter in Santa
Barbara, where it is viewed by many
tourists and many canvases taken east
before Californians have a chance to
see them. That Hansen, especially, is
a painter of extraordinary merit is
Wen recognized. When in California
his home is in Alameda.
The first public exhibition of the
4 INn~rN-
rapher. is being held at Vickery's.
Eighty-five photographs of the old
Mission, the Yosemite, the Monterey
coast and a few heads and half lengths
are included in the collection that is
unusually fine and remarkable in ex-
ecution. The clearness and softness
of the cloud masses in the Sierras are
eNquisitely beautiful, especially in the
! photograph termed "The Spirit of the
Sierra Nevada" that is but soft ex-
panse of cloud effect so permeated
and .tinged with movement and light
as TO seem TO float higher and higher
/ into dim distance. The charming re-
suits OF the old arches. in which light
and shade are beautifully intermingled
and the quaint appearance of the old
rose and box hedged gardens of which
glimpses are caught through the cor
ridor arches, are wonderfully apparent
/ in this skillful and discriminating
work. Poetry and Imagination have
blended with infinite detail TO produce
work of this description. It has at
tracted many visitors and will remain
on exhibition until November g..
! The Sequoia club will hold it's annual
exhibition of painting and drawing al
/ its rooms on Bush street beginning
November II. There are at present a
few canvases to be seen there, the
work of an Italian artist, Carlo Baron
who is spending some time in the city
and to whom the club extended the
right hand Of fellowship at a dinner
given in his honor at an Italian res
| taurant Saturday evening. Following

Ocean Shore Bonds

The stockholders of the Ocean Shore
Railway who are well known local
businessmen have invested practically
$4,000,0OO in the building of this rail
way. ~.
There has been sold So, 2,5O0O00 worth of
bonds, which are first lien against the entire
assets of the company. In other words, they
have invested $4,OOO,OO0 of their own money
and $2,500,O00 received from the sale OF
bonds, making. total investments IN the rail
way of about ST, 6,5OO,OO0, making security of
about three to one to the present bond buyer.
The company is now operating forty
miles of railway, and the earnings are ,increas-
ing monthly.
These earnings are only limited by the ca
pacity of the company to take care of its
business -.
There is greater demand for both freight
and passenger transportation than the COM
pany has cars to take care of -
The road is nearly completed and will be
running through to Santa Cruz In time for
next summers traffic.
Ocean Shore bonds are sold to the
public for 500 cash and $97 ON
installments of $17 cash with the order
and the balance $40 per month.
These bonds are a better investmentstoday
than they have ever been before.
The security is more substantial and the
road is in better shape and the earnings are
larger.
The future success of the railroad is as
sured and Ocean Shore bonds will never be
cheaper than they are today.
We believe that before another year passes
these bonds will sell at their full face value,
and those who buy now will profit by the in
crease in price, which will come as soon as the
railroad is completed.
The real estate, terminal facilities, right of
way and equipment owned by the company
are sufficient backing for any investor who
will give intelligent consideration to the pur-
chase of these bonds.
Most first mortgage railway bonds pay
from to 4 per cent, while Ocean Shore bonds
pay 543 per cent on their selling price.
When you buy Ocean Shore bonds you i'm
vest your money in a local enterprise worthy
of the highest consideration and an enterprise
which is of benefit to the city and state and
which will develop a remarkably resourceful
country and in turn benefit all the people.
The purchase of these bonds is the safest
and most profitable investment that can be
made at this time, and those who buy them
now will soon enjoy the profits of their wisdom
and foresight
Prospective investors are invited to the
office of the railway company to receive full
information.

saves the head of the firm from walking the
floor at night wondering where he viii get cash
the next day for his payroll or for some other
pressing purpose. This article IN the Post of
October 24th is very interesting and should
be read by all prospective investors.
The San Francisco call., 1908-11-01

Those who hold the first mortgage gold
bonds of the Ocean Shore Railway should cash
their coupons tomorrow.
Two million five hundred thousand dollars
worth of these bonds are In the hands OF Call
fornia investors, and the interest money on
these bonds remains at home, goes into local
circulation and increases the prosperity of our
community.
How much better it is to have your money
invested in Ocean Shore bonds, paying good
rate OF interest and paying it promptly
than to have stocks OF uncertain value.
How much better it is that Ocean Shore
bonds should have been purchased by our local
people than to have them held by foreigners
or Eastern capitalists and this interest paid
and spent far from home
The shrewdest, wisest investors
throughout America invest their money
in first mortgage railway bonds.
A recent article which appeared in the Sat-
urday Evening Post on the subject of how mil
ionaires invest their surplus income gives a
detailed account of the investments made by
the leading financiers of this country.
The Saturday Evening Post says that the
biggest single investor in America is John d.
Rockefeller After he reached point where
oil could pay him no more, he began buying
bonds and he has been buying them ever since.
He is the largest individual buyer of bonds in
the world. He has more safety deposit vault
box space to house his securities than any
other capitalist. Mr.. Rockefeller's rule of in
vestment is, Buy long term first mortgage
railway bonds"
j. d. Archbold of Standard Oil fame buys
bonds of gilt edge variety.
Daniel ODay, another Standard Oil mag
nate, believed before his death that every man
should invest part of his money in high class
bonds.
Andrew Carnegie holds over $500, 600, 900
worth of bonds in the United States Steel Cor
poration.
Mrs. Hettie Green, the richest woman in
the world, invests her money in first mortgage
railway bonds.
Russell Sage believed in concentrating
money in safe issue OF railway bonds. When
he died he owned several million dollars
worth of bonds of the various railroads
throughout the United States, none of which
paid him less than per cent.
Marshall Field when he died owned mil
lions of dollars worth of first mortgage rail
way bonds.
Mr. Jacob Schiff Of the banking firm of
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. is heavy buyer of bonds,
and his fortune is largely invested in railway
bonds
Mr. Henry G. Frick is constantly adding to
his holdings of railway bonds.
James Speyer has large quantities of rail
way bonds.
The Post goes on to say that the advan-
tages Of buying bonds are that: In times of
emergency the bonds, being of such character
as to be instantly marketable, can be turned
into cash or can be employed anywhere as col
lateral for a loan. In times of tight money it

The Frances e. Willard w. @. T. u,
of Southwest Harbor, is the most ac-
tive, aggressive and influential Or
ganization of the kind in Hancock
county. For this reason its action at
a meeting held last week is peculiarly
significant.
After spirited speech by Mrs. A.

vote, endorsed the republican nomi-
nees for governor and sheriff, and
pledged itself to use its influence in
favor OF the election Of these men
pledged to enforce the prohibitory
law.
The present sheriff, B. q. Mayo, is
a democrat, and is candidate for re-
election. Southwest Harbor is his

ance organization Of the same town

Extended comment on this action is
as unnecessary as it is significant.

For County Attorney .

Wiley c. Conary, of Bucksport, is the
republican candidate for county attorney.
Mr.. Conary is one of the youngest men
ever nominated for this important office,
and his nomination is, for that reason, a
compliment to his character and ability.
Mr.. Conary was born in BluehiIl in 1880
He was educated in the public schools OF
his native town, graduating from the
Bluehill-George Stevens academy in 1898.
He taught school for several years, and
studied law in the Office OF Judge E. f..
Chase at Bluehill.
Shortly after entering upon the study of
law, he was elected superintendent of
schools Of Bluehill, and served for several
years. He passed the examinations for
admission to the bar in 1906, and .imme-
diately hung out his shingle in Bucksport,
taking the Office Of and succeeding to the
practice of Hon. o. F. Fellows, who at
that time removed his law office to BAN
gor, and already has large and growing
practice.
Mr.. Consry entered the contest for the
nomination for county attorney with
three competitors, and after q vigorous
but good-natured contest in the conven-
tion was nominated, supporters of his
competitors uniting in motion to make
the nomination unanimous.

What Will Maine Say?

Another campaign has been fought,
and the end is near. Next Monday
the voters of Maine will record their
preferences for those whom they de-
sire to administer for the next two
years the public affairs of this good
old State Of Maine.
Interpreting the relatively small
republican majority of two years ago
~ an Indication of dissatisfaction
with republican supremacy, the demo-
Gratis have waged campaign with
the vigor of desperation and the saw.
agery Of forlorn hope.
Not an issue has arisen during this
campaign that was not an issue in the
campaign Of two years ago, and upon
which the democratic party was ut
terly routed. "Shall Maine be hon.
est" was then their battle cry, and
the people answered it election day,
Indignantly resenting the implied
charge that she was not honest, and
for the past two years the State has
continued its march of progress and
prosperity.
In the present campaign there was
nothing for the democrats to do but
to ring the changes on the old issues
resubmission, unequal taxation, in
creased expenditures, extravaganza,
graft, and scandal, and not one of
these "charges'' has been any better
sustained now than then.
1t has not been difficult for the re-
publicans to meet the charges which
have been made; to show that there
has been no graft, no scandal, no ex-
travagance none of the horrible
things which have been charged di-
rectly or implied.
On the other hand, the State rec-
ords have been as an open book, and
they show that not cent has been
misappropriated, not cent un-
accounted for. Expenditures have
increased in recent years; what of it?
what else is to be expected when
wealth and material prosperity are
also increasing?
They talk of increasing expendi.
lures a. though it were q crime. Do
they tell Of the corresponding in
grease in resources? Do they tell that
the tax-rate twenty-five years ago
was four and one half mills, while now
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1908-09-09

their orators, from their candidate
for governor down, are telling how
tax ridden we are; how poor we are;
how pitiably small our savings bank
deposits are; how pauperism abonnds,
how drunk we are, while all the time,
up to the opening of this campaign,
all Maine was congratulating itself on
it's sobriety, progress, prosperity and
happiness.
The democrats are to be credited
with consistency on at least one issue;
they are for resubmission, and they
advocate it for the purpose OF ulti-
mately substituting local option and
license law for the present prohibit
tory law. That is what resubmission
now means; it is democratic meas
ure; republican resubmission - a
proposition to resubmit in order to
give voters an opportunity to reaffirm
their faith in prohibitions dead,
very dead.
And the pity of it is that in order to
show how demoralizing the prohibit
tory law is, they are depicting con-
dition OF things in Maine really too
horrible to relate "a condition which
in fact has no real existence except
for two or three weeks before election,
and then only in the minds of demo-
cratic editors and stump speakers,
who between elections would them
selves be among the first to resent the
outrageous assaults on the fair fame
of Maine In which they themselves
are now INDUCING.

Mr.. Fernald's address at Bluehill
last Thursday evening was listened to
by an attentive audience which COM
pletely dlled the hall. He discussed
State issues in a masterful manner.
incidentally he took occasion again to
brand as false the silly story that he
had made trade with certain Ban
gor parties to restore, il elected, the
old "Bangor plan" OF dealing with
the liquor question. Judge Redman,
of this city, also spoke, ably discuss

Let the voters Of Ellsworth make
no mistake on Monday next in casting
their ballots FOR representative to the
legislature. When a man of Mr..
Peters responsibilities and activities
consents to give his time and effort to
the work involved in session of the
lIaine legislature, this constituency
ought to have no hesitancy in sup
porting him. Accepting the Office is
no small sacrifice to him; having him
at Augusta means much to Ellsworth.

Gardner Stock Falling.

M" HHHS""7S"f' DePt. % Ioon'
To the Editor of The american:
Since the famous ''rnm-s shop on-every-
corner" speech, Obadiah stock seems to be
falling in the market. Free rum in prefer
snce to prssent-dsy enforcement of the
prohibitory law seems to be the demo-
cratic cry.
With non-enforcement in Cumberland,
Androscoggin and Kennebec counties
under pure democracy, what can we hope
Tor with Gardner for governor but the
wide-open hell Of the liquor trafIic? The
wild notions Of Gardner seem only equalled
BY those cratic visions of Bryan.
Ben Butler once said-and he should
have known-that when q man is drunk
he sees all the world tottering before him.
Is the distorted vision of democracy the
cause OF so much visionary corruption in
the republican party? H.
