vestments of non-residents used by them
for summer sojourn. The Maine bureau
of statistics has just completed what
summer business" to be submitted to
the legislature in accordance with the
requirement of the law.
The bureau which has had the coopera-
ton of local assessors finds that there
are in the settled parts of Maine"
5097 cottages, located in 226 cities,
towns and plantations, owned by citi-
zens of other states and occupied only
during "the summer season." These
cottages" are assessed at $40, 1862 ,O83
in the aggregate, an average OF $4,000
each. In addition to summer homes Of
non-residents, the bureau found there
were 1850 cottages owned by Maine
citizens, and occupied only for temporary
sojourns, valued at So, 1O9,4 73, in 239
cities and towns. The summer" hotels
as distinguished from hostelries open all
the year round numbered $40, in 1872
places, and were assessed at So, 235, 075
First and last the bureau finds that there
are 10,367 summer" cottages and
hotels, taxed at SIS, 506,531. This sum
does not measure the exact amount Of
capital invested, for the legislature for
got to provide the money and machinery
for ascertaining the value of personal
property, furnishings, etc, and as it was
impossible for the bureau to canvass
thousands of individuals, this detail
could not be worked out in figures

natural beauty. and to illustrate the
power of the call of the wild to pro-

Assuming that the 5000 summer cot
tages each shelter FIVE persons from
other states in the course of the season
that means that 900 persons sojourr

New Hampshire Summer Business.
That State Has About $ 900 Invested in the Enterprise
100000 Visitors Annually.

The amount of money invested in the
summer business of New Hampshire is
now close to 100000, of which
about $9,OO0,000 are in the hotels and
S12,OOO,00O in summer residences and
cottages, the latter being under rather
than over stated. At the last report
about 81, 265, 900 were found devoted to
iveries and private teams, and it is
doubtful if this has been increased on
account of the growth OF the automobile
business. More than 100000 people
visit for a short time or make their
homes in New Hampshire during the hot
months of every year. Coos county
leads in the money invested in summer
hotels and in the number of transient
boarders. OF the latter about 10000
come to Coos county. But statistics
make dry reading, and these figures re-
present only approximate values and
numbers. The season just closed has
proved to be an average one, and the
people interested are doubtless well sat
ished with the results.
AS to this summer business, "the past
at least is secure" and it is the future
that is of paramount Importance to the
living. The summer hotel business has
been a growth, many Of the houses that
have become well known being simply
engagements OF the original farmhouses
that were built rs or 100 years ago.
What the father started has been carried
on by the son, and as the attractions OF
the mountains became more widely
known and greater number sought &C
commodations each year, additions or
separate buildings were added and in a
number of instances new hotels have
been built outright.

THE OTHER SIDE

To the Editor of The Republican
 Sir: Replying to the trustees Of Isaac district. published in Sundays Republican, will say it is not the cost of keeping. the school grounds in good order that the patrons and taxpayers care for That would not cost much. It is the negligence of the trustees. Part of the trees are almost dead for want of water The petition was not born on personal grounds or animosity, and the signers of the petition read and knew exactly what they were signing In regard to the gentleman not sending his children to school, will say for him, he was a new man to the valley and had hardly got his goods unpacked until the trustees called his attention to the law in Arizona regarding sending children to school. Regarding one of the signers of the petition flooding the roads, be- ing responsible for the bad condition around the school house, if it mad not been for him watering the trees no doubt they would all nave died.

J. w. Castle, Director in Many We'll Known Corporations, Cuts
 His Throat.

New York, Sept. 13.-John w. Castle, president of the Union Trust company and director of other we'll known corporations, committed suicide by cutting his throat tonight at the Grand Union hotel.
 MT. Castle is survived by his widow, daughter and son. The Union Trust company, of which Castle was presi- dent, is one of the largest institutions of it's kind in the city and is situated at so Broadway. It is considered one of the strongest banks in the country. Its surplus and profits amount to $S,139.770. John V. B. Thayer, secre- tary and second vice president of the Union Trust company, said tonight that MT. Castle had been in poor health for some months and was suf- fering with general nervous break. down. He said that financial matters had no bearing whatever on the case.

BRIDGE THE RIVERS.

In enacting the law providing for tax levies to create a territorial road fund the legislature of course contemplated the construction and maintenance of a great north and south highway through the territory, as the principal artery of system of good roads to accommodate the entire territory. Possibly no act of the late legislature had more general ap- proval than the good roads law"
 In order to provide this great high way the territorial board of control will find that among the first requi- sites will be bridges across the Salt and Gila rivers A bridge across the Salt at Tempe and a bridge across the Gila at Florence will be necessary if the proposed highway is to serve its purpose.
 More than s16O.9OO in the road fund will be available immediately after the first of the coming year and public spirited citizens throughout the terri tory will warmly approve the program of the board of control if it shall pro- vide for early construction of bridges at Tempe and Florence.

POLAR coMMERcIALIsM.

Nobody will find any fault with Peary or Cook for their desire to make all the money they can out of the cu- riosity of the public concerning their polar experiences. They naturally feel that the hardships they have endured should be offset now by such compen- sation as they can gain for them selves. And it must be admitted that civilization animated by a spirit of cold commercialism.
 Cook, in order to sell his story to the New York Herald (which in turn retails the story to all other papers that will buy), refrains from answer ing pointed questions from miscellane- ous interviewers. Peary. in order to sell his story to the New York Times, follows the tactics of Cook.
 These stories to the newspapers are to be followed by lectures and books by the explorers.
 But it is to be feared on behalf of both discoverers that they may trifle too long with the public and find at an early day to their surprise and ul- timate loss that the sharp edge of popular curiosity has been worn off. For one thing there seems not to be a great deal that either Peary or Cook can tell that is strictly new All arc tic expeditions are very much alike in the matter of dreary, monotonous driving of the ship through the ice foes until progress in that manner can be made no farther. navigation being followed by travel with dog drawn sledges over dangerous and shifting ice fields-all done in suffering from bitter cold and often hunger. Mar ratives covering all the incidents of arctic travel have been published so often that the story as a whole is familiar one to the reading public. The real interest attaching to the Cook and Peary stories concerns the question whether they both actually reached the pole. That there is nothing at the pole worth talking about seems to be established.
 And both the explorers will find shortly that they are competing with the close of the baseball season in the matter of news interest.

THE LUCKY FARMER.

As everybody knows, the cost of liv- ing has been advancing for several years. There was a slight re- cession in 1908, but according to the commercial agencies the aver age cost is now close to the high est point ever reached, which was in March, 1907.
 The Bradstreet agency has selected 1O6 articles of domestic consumption and has made a careful record of their prices, month by month, for seventeen years. It is shown that the average cost of the supplies which practically every houehold must buy has increased over 49 per cent since 1906.
 Some of the individual cases of in creased cost are startling. Since 1896 pork has advanced from ss.25 per bar rel to s21.75; eggs from 12lz cents per dozen to 2s cents; mutton from 5z cents a pound to II cents; corn from 34 cents bushel to 80 cents; wheat from 64 cents a bushel to s120, and so forth.
 In other words, while nearly all arti- cles of popular consumption have ad- vanced in price the most notable ad- vances have been in the prices of farm products-the whole world is paying tribute to the farmer.
 And the happy feature of it-from the farmers standpoint-is that high prices for farm products have come to stay. Twenty years ago James G. Blaine. noting the rapid increase of population in the United States, and the disproportionate increase of city population as compared with the in crease of farm popu1atron and farm ing area, made the prophetic state ment that middle-aged men would live to see farming more profitable than any other line of business-that farms would be more valuable than gold mines. He made this statement at a time when farming was so un- profitable, generally, that farmers in the east and middle west were near

despair and were in industrial revolt. many people, but the era prophesied by him is already here. Whereas in Blaine's time more than half the pop ulation of the country got its living from the soil, the proportion is now about one-third.
 And while irrigation under new pro jects here in the west wifi add mate rially to the agricultural production of of the country, this addition will by no means keep pace with the growth of population in the cities. Every city in the United States is growing rap idly and will continue to grow.
