ADDRESSES AT COMMERCIAL

On Tuesday evening q. G. ROwdon,
Irish baritone singer, and Prof. J. p.
Meakin addressed gathering at the
Commercial club for two hours.
Mr.. Rowdon spoke on the value OF
music and the better class Of amuse-
ments and studies, from a commercial
or pecuniary standpoint, showing how
these things exert an influence In the
growth of the towns or cities where
they are encouraged; how increased
population and commerce and de-
crease of crime and violence follow
the cultivation of such things.
Professor Meakin spoke along SINH
lar lines, emphasizing the Importance
Of cultiyating the spirit Of friendship
and good fellowship by the citizens
of town as an investment by which
to attract good citizens to swell their
population and increase their trade,
His talk covered a wide range and
he interspersed recitations that were
fitting to his subject, giving num-
Der towards the close that were ex-
ceedingly humorous.
Professor Meakin practices what he
advocates In the matter Of being
friendly to everybody in sight, and
this characteristic brought him rare
pleasure just before the meeting
opened. Seeing a farmer come in and
look about as If he were not accus-
toned to the place, he gave him the
glad hand, and on learning that his
name was Lot Adams, he made in
curry as to the place Of his birth,
and found It was one Of the playmates
OF his boyhood whom he had not met
IN forty years, and the two renewed
the memories of the good old times.

FARMERS INSTITUTES

January and February should be
busy months in the study Of methods
of farming. What the people are 100
busy to study in theory duling the
summer should be well gone over
during the winter weather, so they
may start right in the spring.
The people Of Aberdeen are arrang-
ing to have. three days institute
early in January, and we suggest that
dates be made by the committee on
the west side OF the river as far north
AS Groveland and Porterville, SO the
speakers and Others wishing to at
tend two or more can follow from
Aberdeen up the river and attend any
Tor all of the meetings. Blackfoot
should be counted in somewhere in
the program, and it is up to the vari-
|ous committees to determine for them
selves whether they will have insti-
tutes or not, and If so, when and
where they are to be held When
these matters and part of the pro-
gram are indicated by the home folks,
|others can be found who will aid
them in the work If they so desire.
1t is not the duty of the state or of
some outside settlement or town to
arrange for an institute and then ask
the community to attend, If the com
munity wants the institute they
should take the lead, and any COM
munity that does this and shows a.
good attendance from year to year
will have good Institutes; If they cam
not do 1t all themselves there will be
plenty of outside aid.
We will announce the dates BIZ the
meetings at Aberdeen SO soon as we
learn what they are and we invite
people in the various settlements to
communicate with this Office, letting
us know their wishes in regard to
having meetings, and we can probably
aid them In making the arrangements
to insure the most effective work at
such meetings.

A PIONEER WOMAN HERE

Mrs. Ellen Easley Of Mackay was
here Saturday evening on her way to
Twin Falls to spend the winter with
her daughter, Mrs. Williams. Mr..
and Mrs. Williams have the manage
ment of the Perrine Hotel there. Mr..
and Mrs. Easley kept stage station
on the tract As years ago. and Mrs.
Easley loaned her dashboard once a
week to her nearest neighbor, who
lived fifty miles UP the line. The
stage driver carried 1t back and forth
for them.
The Easley's saw the curtain GO
up on the early scenes in Idaho, and
many positions of responsibility have
been held by them during the play.

ANTI-BANK ROBBERY MONDAY

The First National bank of this
city is having system OF burglar
proofs installed that make it almost
impossible to rob the bank and a
demonstration will be made on Mon
day afternoon at two o'clock to
show what would happen If 1t were at
tempted. so town people can listen for
clatter of gongs at that hour, and
not mistake 1t for a fire alarm. 1t
will be just what will happen If burg
largs should attempt to get into the
vault at night, or II hold up should
occur in. the day time for electric
buttons are so arranged that even
though all the men in the bank are
held up. they can place foot on a
button that will start the whole per-
formance and ring UP the town as
effectually as fire alarm.
Set your clock by standard time
Monday morning and Remember
the Maine" at 1853 for there is going
to be a false alarm OF fire, seemingly.

THE NEW ENGLAND FRUIT SHOW.

It Is only matter of a few days be-
, fore the New England Fruit Show in
| Boston will open its doors to the public
eye. What is Maine doing to show that
she Is in the race to win? This is to be
the first exposition of its kind ever held
in New England. This fact alone should
be enough of an incentive to cause every
public spirited citizen of the State to sit
up and take notice. We need the hearty
cooperation of each and every person in
the State. We have the fruit; let us 90
in to win. We can put up an exhibit that
will be credit to any State in the Union
and one that Maine can well be proud of.
Will we do it? For the last few wears
Maine apples have been getting the go
by in the markets of the world. Should
we allow this to continue? We cannot
afford to entertain this thought for mo-
ment. 1t is up to us to make good at
this opportune moment and lend hand
to make this show grand success, one
that we can look back to in future years
as the turning point for better fruit for
New England, and one that shall place
Maine in the front ranks as an apple pro-
ducing State; not in competition with the
West, but as a leader for the other States
to follow.
As surely as the sun rises on the State
of Maine fruit, so surely should this State
be the leading fruit center of the country
as far as the apple is concerned. AL
though the past few years have been I'M
favorable to the apple interests of the
State, it is equally true of other agricult-
ural industries. Our apples this year are
not as large or as well colored as we
would like, yet we must remember that
our neighbors have not been favored
more than we, and we will take our
chances with them in making the most
OF what we have. Maine has been
offered space to exhibit two carload
lots; no other State will enter this field.
This will mean an exhibit of 1900 bushel
boxes of apples. Can we afford to let
this opportunity go by? This alone will
be an object lesson well worth the seeing,
10 do this will incur quite an expense.
but the result will we'll repay the effort.
We can get the fruit provided we can
meet the expense. In order to make the
whole exhibit success, we must raise
the necessary funds to pay for the pre-
miums and what added expense is in
Cured in the matter of lumber for hall
equipment, decorations, printing, etc.
Do not wait to be solicited, but lend
hand at once so that we may not be Grip
pied for want of funds to make this first
fruit exhibit great success, not only for
New England as a whole, but especially
for Maine. All contributions will be duly
credited upon receipt. They should be
sent to the State Vice President, E. F.
Hitchings, at Waterville, Maine.

to be cast ashore at any time, we got
in under the lee of Prince Edward island
and came home all right, although we
lost a hundred barrels of fish from off
our decks,
''My father moved onto House Island
in 1924. John Sterling was there. the
year before him. There were two
wharves on the island then at which
fishing vessels landed and it was great
place for the drying Of fish, which were
landed there in great numbers. My
father packed about $1,000 kentels of
fish there year and John Sterling about
half as much more. The fish were pack
ed in barrels and hogsheads and shipped
direct to the West Indies, and often the
very hogsheads in which the fish were
packed were brought back filled with
molasses. My brothers Charles and
Henry followed the business on House
Island until the decline of the fishing
business when the island was abandoned
for that sort of thing and few years
ago the old buildings and wharves were
torn down.
"When l was boy ! have seen the
harbor filled with schools of mackerel
and as late as 1885 I have known mack
erel to be caught off the end of CONNER
cial wharf. The bay was also filled with
porgies and 'haden and one could catch
big cod and haddock right off the Spring
Point ledge or almost anywhere else in
the bay. I haven't known of any cod be-
ing caught in the harbor for many years
and presume it is because there is no
feed in here for them now. The porgie
oil business killed off al the porgies, the
mackerel seiners exterminated about all
of tie mackerel, and the dog fish have
about settled the cod and haddock.

FOR FLETCHER'S
CASTORIA
MAYO w. HAZELTINE.

Mayo Williamson Hazeltine left no one
in the world at all like himself. He was
entirely out of ordinary and of kind by
himself. Whoever knew him we'll knows
that what is gone with him will never be
replaced.
A most interesting man, and of re-
markable powers. He was well-born
American of New England descent. His
middle name he got from his relative,
Governor williamson, the historian of
Name. The papers say he was born in
Boston, but in the Harvard catalogues of
81 and '62 he is credited to Bangor,
Maine
He was early left an orphan with some
property; was well schooled and proved
a diligent scholar went to Harvard College
and graduated from there in 1862, with
reputation for great ability and an IN
usually lively interest in mankind; want
from there to Oxford, where he studied
and added to his experience of life; tray
elled on the Continent and added still fur
Their to experience. Some time or other
he came home, studied law, and was ad-
mtted to the bar; examined the West
and lived in it for time.
About 1878, being then thirty-seven
years old and full of knowledge, he found
1t necessary to earn living in some other
way than by law, which, we believe, he
never practised seriously. He wrote three
newspaper articles and sent them to Mr.
Dana of the Sun. They were all accept
ed, and gave evidence of mental furniture
that brought him an invitation by tele-
graph to come to work for the Sun.
From that time (thirty-one years ago)
until last week he was one of the most
indefatigably industrious journalists con-
nected with the American press.
Mr.. Hazeltine was an Indifferent adver-
tiser, who signed no more than his init
ials to his book reviews, and put his
name to very small proportion of his
other work. For that reason his public
reputation is not commensurate with his
remarkable abilities, equipment, and in
dustry: He was, it may be, somewhat
encountered with erudition. His long
service in telling readers what other
writers had said may have interfered
somewhat with the development and
communication of his own thought. Pos
slbly he grew to be too much a mental
machine, but it was wonderful machine,
and fit to be better known and appreciat-
ed by the readers who have profited by
its works. -Harper's Weekly.

Invention of the Automobile,

No one man can be said to have invent
ed the automobile. The machine as it is
today is the product of many minds in
many countries. Horseless vehicles date
back almost to the time when steam be-
came cam a motive power, and as long ago as
1902 Richard Trevithick, an Englishman,
constructed machine which made trip
OF 30 miles over country roads.
In 1883 re-Deboutteville and
Malandin of Paris invented a tricycle.
propelled by compressed gas and year
later used petroleum for generating
power.
Panhard and Levasser were the first to
invent a really practical petroleum mo-
tor. This was in 1890, since which time
the development of the various types of
road motors has been rapid.
Electricity as motive power for road
machines was first used in the early sos,
but it was not until about 1898 that it be-
gan to be looked upon as rival of petro-
leum. Of late years gasoline and steam
motors have been extensively used
