GIVES UP THE FIGHT


Mr.. RockefeIler's troubles with his
Adirondack neighbors began soon
after he decided to establish lodge
in the great North Woods. He first
acquired $4,000 acres by purchase
from Patrick Ducey, lumherman.
Subsequently he bought more land,
until hts tract now comprises So 1000
acres. The woodsmen who had been
employed by Ducey were thrown out
Of work through his selling his land.
but Mr.. Rockefeller found occupation
for many Of them in improving the
property He made It a rule, how
ever, that none OF them should shoot
or fish on his land, and they we're for
hidden to carry guns or fishing
tackle.
Soon the earlier settlers we're figm-
ratively and literally .in arms against
Mr.. Rockefeller. They had shot and
fished on the land as far back as the
oldest fnhabitant could remember, and
they saw no reason why the arrival
Of Mr. Rockefeller among them
should change their custom. They
declared that Mr.. Rockefeller could
not claim the protection Of the prE-
vate park law. as his $1,000 acres Of
wilderness, lakes and rivers. an pub
lie waters, were not really a private
park. They held that wild deer could
not be bought with the land. nor could
Mr Rockefeller acquire the fish
which, at the expense Of the state,
had been placed in the streams run
ming through his land

The Tafts-those who at present are

so thick in Uxbridge that even WON

Some years ago--in 1874, 70 be exact
there was n Taft reunion In Tx
bridge, TO which descendants OF the
original Robert Taft came hocking
from all parts OF the country. One OF
the conspicuous features Of the affair
was historical address by Alphonso
Taft. father OF the present Republican
candidate. He traced the history Of
various branches OF the family, and
when he came 20 the one 10 which he
and his children belonged he said:
Our family have not embarked much
upon national politics, except that they
have shared in the battles OF the coun-
try when national Independence was
TO be won, and also when the Union
was az stake. BUT brilliant political
careers have not been characteristic OF
the Tafts in the past II is not safe 20
say what may be in store for them
There Is a tide In the affairs OF men
and also OF families
This Is taken from tae account OF
the reunion published at the time. Al
phonso TAFT would perhaps have been

seen how quickly and brilliantly the
family would proceed to embark upon
national poliscs." lie himself started
