The Newspaper Men.
The coming Of the president to Bev
erly has been a great thing for the lit
tie north shore city. Its beauties and
advantages as a summer resort are
now known all over the world, thanks
to the ceaseless activity Of the press.
With the president came score or
more of newspaper correspondents.
representing number of the leading
papers of the country. most of them
trained Washington correspondents,
regarded as the cream Of their profess
sion, men who follow public events.
who are capable of writing intelligent
II and entertainingly on almost any
topic, but who keep more especially
well Informed on Washington and for
eign topics.
Telegraph Facilities.
To accommodate these men both the
Postal and Western Union Telegraph
companies have set up fine new Offices
ut Beverly. A corps of expert tele-
graph operators have been assigned to
the Beverly Offices by these companies.
and either company can easily handle
$1,000 words of press matter night
without overworking their men. Spa
eious quarters have been provided by
both companies for the correspondents,
with typewriters and everything for
their comfort and convenience.
Town Meeting Days.
The presidents rule is to see the
Washington correspondents Monday
and Wednesday afternoons and all of
the newspaper men on Saturday after
noon. But this rule is not rigidly en-
forced, and correspondents who deem
it necessary to see the president often
er have little difficulty in getting at
him.
These receptions to the newspaper
men, or, as they are termed by some,
''town meetings" are usually good ma
tur I'd talks on the part Of the presi-
dent and the newspaper men. during
which the president and some Of the
correspondents chaff one another.
Sometimes there is considerable hilar-
lily at these town meetings. and the
president usually has story or two to
relate that evokes the heartiest sort OF
laughter. CARL sCHoFIELD.

NOTES FROM BEVERLY
Especial Correspondence

The country has learned much about
north shore scenery since President
Taft made Beverly his summer home.
The correspondents who arrived at
Beverly ahead of the president and
those who came with him sent out
glowing descriptions of the natural
beauties of the summer capital and its
neighborhood.
Of some of its most striking fea-
lures, however, they have said never
a word. Chief among these features
are the islands In Salem bay.
These lie directly in the front yard,
go to speak, of the presidents summer
home The president sees them every
time he looks out of a window on the
water side Of the house
The Islands Of Salem Bay.
Without them the view would be
tame They give character to the rock
bound bay and suggest stories of other
times-of passing ships homeward or
outward bound, of nocturnal landings
In the old smuggling days and of ship
wreck in sight of port.
The president would have to organ
ize an expedition to visit these islands.
He can't drive, walk or taxicab to
them, and there is no regular water
conveyance to any except the largest.
So the president is likely to pass the
summer at Beverly without setting
foot on them.
Where Winthrop Sailed.
Salem bay and it's islands are ASSOC
ciated with some of the most interest
ing periods of the country's develop
ment.
en- the largest island, Bakers, are
the two lighthouses known to lands
men as mfr. and Mrs. Baker" which
guide the mariner into the channel
and when he is there are straight In
line behind him. to make back range
for his passage up the harbor. Very
properly Mrs. Baker, is smaller than
her husband. When in line the two
lighthouse towers cannot be distin.
guished from each other.
Past this island and up this channel
came Winthrop and his feet to settle
Salem. Here for two centuries the
ships of Salem, on which the town
built its wealth, counted themselves
home from sea when Bakers was
abeam.
