Bits of EastbrOok History.
WEST FRANKLIN, March 1, 1910

To the Editor of the American:
As Eastbrook is becoming famous for
fishing and sporting, few items Of early
history will without doubt be interesting
to some Of the many readers Of THE
AMERICAN. From data kindly furnished
by Mrs. H. N. Butler, of that town, will
give bit OF early history.
The first camp built was by Tugwassah
and Sabbatus on the place now occupied
by John Piper, who hunted and trapped
in the vicinity. As Tugwassah was
bringing a jug Of molasses across the
pond, he fell, breaking the jug. The
molasses spread rapidly and over a large
area. The old fellow, on getting up,
viewed the scene about him, enchanting,
"this is all one Mollasses pond". Hence
its name.
The man who said that the only good
Indian lie dead one, probably never knew
Tugwassah, who was always spoken very
highly OF by the first settlers.
A large tree was cut on the Piper place,
and from the lumber large boat was
built by Mr.. Moon, Of Hancock, and was
sailed by Moses Springer, Moses and Peter
Butler. This boat sailed to Kennebec
county and brought provisions to Frank
lin.
Samuel Bragdon was the first white set
tier OF Eastbrook. He was a hunter and
trapper and was unmarried. The first
settler with family was Robert Dyer,
who, built the first frame house in 1911.
This building blew down and was re-
modelled into barn. Joseph Parsons
built the first saw and grist mill.
Mills ridge was named by j. T. Mills,
who felled trees on the place now owned
by Hyde and Martin, who made maple
sugar there before there were any settlers
in the locality.
Eastbrook is situated eighteen miles
northeast of Ellsworth, and was in
Feb. s, 1887. The northern part
was covered by heavy growth OF timber.
The Hills, Browns and others did a vast
amount OF numbering there some fifty years
ago. The following will illustrate how
little was known OF the value OF the tim
Der by the settlers. One fall portion Of
the supplies for one camp was hauled
through the town. One man remarked
that he would rather have the provisions
hauled past his house than all the timber
in Eastbrook.
But the fire fiend has done its deadly
work. Where once hundreds OF men were
at work, there is now desolate and bar
rem waste. The Macombers have strenu-
ously opposed this fiend, and thus far
have been successful in keeping it from
their lands. They are doing a thriving
business. The ponds, well stocked with
fish, are drawing many here both summer
and winter. Those in quest OF quietness
can find no pleasanter place during the
summer months than in the town OF East
brook. q. E. BUTLER.

A Local Affair.
BRoCKToN, MASS, March %. 19

BRocKToN, MASS, March %, 1910.
To the Editor of The american:
The election of q democratic Congress-
man from the 14th Massachusetts con-
gressional district at a special election on
March p to I'LL the vacancy caused by the
death OF Hon. W. c. lowering, has been
taken outside the district as an event of
national importance, and much signifi-
canoe given it.
We here in the district believe that
national issues had very little to do with
the election; it was almost wholly local
affair.
By a combination Of circumstances
the republican nomination was secured
by q man who had never been identified
with the party, but who was prominently
connected with the democratic campaign
OF W. L. Douglas for governor when he
defeated Gov. John l.. Bates for re-elec-
ton.
Leading republicans all over the district
protested against the nomination, some
going so far as to take the stump for the
regular democratic nominee. The result
was not a surprise to the voters of the
district, which is as strongly republican
now as ever. Had any good republican
been nominated, he would have been
elected without difficulty. The election
was not democratic victory; it was a
protest against man.

When the Ice Goes Out.
The shades OF Izaak frown upon us,
When the summer days are near;
How we worry, fret and fuss;
Fishin' days are nearly here.
We little care for home or business,
When the trout begin to call;
What horrid place this world is,
Till its time to make haul.
The ice is frozen hard and fast,
Seems as tho 'twould never thaw;
But the good word comes at last,
Nature has obeyed her law.
Then we hustle for the station.
Hurry, hurry, lazy lout;
Greatest news in all the nation,
Billy says the ice is out.

road Company operated this line and
not the defendant, although they ad-
mitted that the Port Reading I'M
ployes were paid their wages by the
defendants. Kovacz, because Of his
injuries, has to have some one feed
and dress him. He lives with his
father in Detroit. The jury was out

BOSSES AFTER
new EMPLOYEES
One Firm Adsertises for
Men to Take Places OF
Striking Plumbers.
OPEN SHOP LIKELY

Latest developments in the plum
beIs' strike give indications that a
settlement is not so close at hand as
the journeymen seemed to have be-
Iieved the past week or SO. Since
the j~ourneymen have refusd to-ac
opt s4.20 a day, the employers Of
fer, some of the bosses have COM
menced to look about for other men
and one firm today advertises for
plumbers.
1t is reasonably certain to believe
that no union plumbers will accept
positions In the places of the strik-
ers, but il n~on-union men step in
and they are permitted to go to
work, it will be a matter OF open
shop.
From what can be learned the
bosses are disguised with the strik-
ers because they hold out for the full
amount of the increase. The bosses
have compromised and cut the de-
manded increase In half, and 1t Is
very doubtful that they will consent
to the full amount.

a chair over his head. hit Dudas.

MUCH FILLING NECESSARY

Yesterdays early morning storm
more havoc with the streets, ae-
cording to Stree Commissioner George
Adair, thar any tempest he has known
ince he first occupied his present office.
All morning he has had teams hauling
rocks and soil to fill in streets in the
western section Of the city. He has
not yet been over the thoroughfares in
the northern section, but he believes
they will be found equally as bad.
The surface of Grant street, in one
section, was completely washed away,
leaving a cut 300 feetlong and four feet
deep. Water from the Raritan Copper
Works reservoir flooded by the heavy
rain, swept over the Lehigh Valley
railroad spur, undermining the tracks
and cutting away the street. The street
commissioner will see Superintendent
Clark, at the works this afternoon and
request that a suitable embankment
be placed beside the pond to guard
Grant street in the future.
Owing to a washout at the county
bridge the tracks of the Jersey Central
Traction Company settled several in.

of the Chesebrongh Vaseline Works,
placed a Waterman there all night,
About fifty feet Of fence owned by

WILSON MAKES ATTACK
ON new NATI0nAlISM

Pennington, Oct. Elm two
speeches delivered here yesterday,
Woodrow Wilson, democratic candi-
date for governor, told his hearers
that men in Office who are pledged to
serve the people rather than an in
dustrial interest or a political sys-
TEN, are necessary to recent govern
ment here and elsewhere. He re-
ferred to the New Natfonalism as an
impulse tending to the Capitalization
of power with the federal govern
ment due to neglect by the people
generally of their duties as citizens.
The opera house, where MT. Will
son had been advertised to speak,
could not hold half of those who
came to hear him. An overflow
meeting was held in the court house,
where he addressed a second audi
ence later.
Closer personal relationship be-
tween the people and their represen-
tatives is essential, he said. Men
mast be elected to office who have
no allegiance either to an industrial
enterprise CIR to a political party.
New Jersey" he said, needs an
executive who is willing and able to
fight the systems that he finds DOM
mating 1t, and viii come to the peo-
pIe and tell them of the affairs of
their own government with the ut
most liberty Of speech that belongs
not only to a governor but to the
private citizen"
Mr.. Wilson arrived here from
Princeton a few hours after having
urged upon the Board of Trustees of
Princeton University the Immediate
acceptance of his resignation. In
his first address he referred in pass
ing to his resignation and to the sew
erance of his twenty years RELATIONS
With the university.
'rThe New Nationalism has beer
| variously Defined" he said, "but
take it to indicate that there arf
| some. people who have come to fee
that IL the states will not correcf
| abuses within them the federal gov
| eminent will have to do so. SO yor
must not be surprised II your con,
J gresham votes for further central
| ization."
Mr.. Wilson will speak at Phillips
/, burg today and at Newton, SUSSEX

Enr Qiiv Skins.

When ones skin is oily do not try TO
conceal 1t by excessive use OF powder.
1t makes the face pasty and clogs the
pores.
There are various drying lotions that
are excellent for this condition. WHIP
ing off the face with pure alcohol has
a drying effect on the skin. Various
good lotions are sold for this purpose,
but a teaspoonful of borax In a basin
Of water Is excellent.
If you fear pure borax try this To-
ton: One tablespoonful of powdered
borax, two tablespoonfuls of glyeerin
and & quart of eamphor water. Dip a
soft linen cloth In this aud mop the
face several times a day.
Do not make the mistake Of using
spirits OF camphor, which Is diluted In
alcohol and much stronger. Camphor
water Is made by letting two ounces
Of gum camphor stand In water for
t~wenty-fonr hours. The lump can be
used repeatedly, as its size Is little de-
creased.
