distant points was his life work.
Maine afforded ample opportunity for
the lumber industry with its vast tim

elder PeAry thought Cambria county,
Pa. also q virgin wooded land, better
suited for his purpose, SO he located
at . point aOw generally admitted to
Be "a the outskirts q Cresson.
Psary's naval career sheds an inter
esting light on ths question Of In
hsgitsd traits ana predictions. The
elder Pssry. an Englishman. trans

who loved the sea. For some reason
he did not share this fondness for the
bounding wave and deliberately left
the shore line for q life far in the In

er Of Ebensburg is certain his name
was George. It has been suggested
| that perhaps his name was George
} Charles Peary. However that may
! be, Mr.. and Mrs. Peary on coming into
this county located Ia the woods near
what is now Cresson, where Peary
established a shook shop. A house
standing on the turn of the road from
Cresson to Loretto, about 100 yards

cepted by the people Of the county as
occupying part of the site Of the orig.

It was Ia that house that Robert q.

Of the Barnard, Sumner & Putnam
company, which is one of the Oldest

parlors are on the fourth floor and oc-
cupy the entire front. There are sew
eral departments = shampoo, facial
massage, chiropodlst, manicure and
workrooms; also barber shop and
a doll factory. There are numerous
articles in the line Of hair and mani

cester they opened first class hair
dressing establishment and barber
shop on Main street, where, through
their business tact, congenial manner
and first class workmanship, they es-
tablished a growing trade among the
better class Of whites. In order to
meet the demands Of the trade they
employed several helpers, and in nine
years they were compelled to move into
larger quarters, where they could bet
ter accommodate their customers. Mr..
Coshburn also conducted a doll hos
pital for repairing broken dolls. He
was known throughout New England
as the doll hospital doctor and expert
wigmaker.

Phoenix.
 Dear Sr-I have your letter of this date and am pleased to answer it.
 The Republican is not opposing the good work of the Maricopa County Commercial club' There cannot be found in the columns of the paper since it came u- der my management word line of the nature you mention Your eastern friends have been msinfOrmed
 am very glad to state the position of The Repubi- in respect to the Commercial club. Perhaps as a matter of justice to the club members this statement should have been made before now. aware that the president of the club has fit consistently and for months msrepresent the motives and principles which guide the management of this paper But as he has not been successful ill njurng either myself or the paper (The Republican today has larger circulation and en- joys larger business and greater prosperity than at period of its history) have kept silent for the req chiefly that to go into the subject properly would require only the simple statement of the papers att tude toward the club but discussion of the misrepre sentations which the club members have been treated by their president And to do this involves departure from my policy of avoiding newspaper controversy. etest all controversies and above a abhOr newspaper rtroversy, which Is mark of backwOOds journalism
 HOver newspaper controversy is often hurtful to a town and ntensly interested in the upbuiding of Phoenix and the Salt River valley. To read in news paper it's unfrendly opinions of another paper quite much of bore to me it would be to hear merchant crcsing the man the streets and fancy this is about the position of the average citizen To answer the request that discuss generally the attitude of The Re publican toward the Commercial cub and that answer the camnies to which have alluded, requires that should plainly state my opinions of the clubs president who is manager of newspaper. Hence, as above stated, have hitherto chosen to say nothing.
 I appreciate however, that great newspaper like The Republican is public institution. The whole com munty has direct interest in what it may say how It says it. and why Thousands of people looking to it daily for the news, they have the right not only to know whether the news is fairly and rutuly published but to know, well, what principles prompt the manage men in the statement of opinions So for this once shall indulge in plainly personal statements Of per tinent facts.
 As to the Commercial club The Republican under it's present ownership is altogether friendly to- and warmly approves the purposes which led most of the members to join the cubthc achievement of lower freight rates.
 But in the clubs president we have no confidence. He has, it has seemed to us, gradually acquired such personal control of the club that he makes it adjunct of his newspaper and the club for his selfish per sona benefit to the injury of the public interests and to
