Our Scenic Beauties
As We Paint Them

A few days ago resident of the
county, who by the way is MT a
subscriber to the Islander, complain
ed to the editor that the paper gave
too little attention to the scenic
beauties, climatic and other advan-
tages of the Islands. 1t didn't take
long to show him that we had done
vast amount of work in this line
and we have ha6 hundreds of letters
and are constantly receiving them
OF similar tone though seldom so
keenly appreciative as one just re-
ceived from subscriber in Florida,
which we publish to show that one
who reads the Islander, views our
efforts quite differently from one
who does not.
The letter is as follows:
Manager. of San Juan Islander,
Dear Sir: Herewith find $1.5O
for renewal subscription for the Is
lander which have been receiving
and reading with much pleasure
since last autumn. Never having
seen your lovely paradise county,

the eye of Imagination, and l believe

can be too eloquent in speaking, no
pen too facile in writing, no brush
too magic in painting their beauty.
The same, so it strikes me, applies
to your beautiful archipelago.
True, you are not tropical but the
dark woods, the twilight hours of
somber light, on stretches of water

possible the homes, the institutions,

of your paper which read, some
thing, more or less to the following
effect, ''The people of San Juan

never published greater truth.

Better Transportation
Facilities Needed

James j. Hill, the Great Northern
railroad magnate, sees in publicity
of corporation matters and intelli-
gent public control of the corpora
tions themselves a long step towards
the solution of the present era Of
business stagnation.
"And the United States needs a
saviour" says Mr.. Hill. 'The
people have demanded not only the
best, and they will now have to pay
accordingly. If they don't pay in
money, they must pay in prosperity.
The business of the country in
creases fifteen percent every year:
the facilities for handling this new
business increase only one sixth of
that. The difference in the ratio is
t..o great and a balance must be
struck sometime, else there will be
complete breakdown Of service or
prosperity. why don't the facili-
ties for handling business increase
more rapidly? Because the men be-
hind those facilities are afraid to
spend their money for extensions and
improvements"
Mr.. Hill has long been an expon-
ent of publicly of corporation affairs
and looks upon that as one of the
means of bringing corporation and
public together.
The people are entitled to know
what the public service corporations
are doing and the conditions under
which they transact business" he
says. 81 have believed in and have
advocated publicity of corporation
reports for many years. When the
public becomes conversant with
corporations affairs and is convinced
that it is seeing from the inside,
much of the feeling against the
great business concerns will pass
away. That will be one Of the
effects of publicity"
In matters of public control f
quasi-public concerns Mr.. Hill is a
firm advocate but he wants that
control to be intelligent: he wants
only trained men in the places of
control.
IA corporation is piece Of paper
bearing the stamp and seal of the
state" he says. Its life is created
by the people and naturally the
people should have some word in
making the rules under which it
transacts business. That proposition
is one l have preached for years and
now / am glad to see it making
headway among common carrier
corporations. Last week President
Nudge, of Rock Island railroad de-
clared for public control of rail-
roads: George M. Reynolds. presi-
dent Continental and Commercial
National bank If Chicago did the
same thing the week before: T. N.
Vail. president American telephone
and Telegraph recently made an
official report to his board of direc-
tors in which he took a firm stand
for both publicly and public control.
"But that conrol must be intelli-
gently administered. Public con-
troll simply because it is control
by the public, is not all. 1t must
be intelligent, as have always con-
tended. Intelligent people will ask
and expect nothing more. Vail,
Reynolds and the others are right in
advocating publicly and public con-
troll. Both are things which event.
ually will go far toward making
good feeling between the corpora
tions and the people. and will assist
in settling much of the antagonism
which now seems to prevail" !"

A Quick Job of Building.

The loss OF the boarding house and
store house of the Paris Manufacturing
Co. at Crystal, N. a., last week, and the
rebuilding of the same, shows how
quickly work can be accomplished when
under the stress Of necessity.
With large crew of men In the woods
and cold weather coming on, Ii was nee
cessary 20 get another building ~ soon
as possible, and while the fire was burn
ing, men were dispatched to rouse the
crew in the main camp, mile away, and
as soon as it became daylight, men and
teams were In the woods cutting the
lumber for q new camp. Logs were
delivered at the saw mill before the
walls were all down, and the logs were
being sawed before the Ore stopped
smoking. The men moved into the new
building, which is 26x52, in Just week
from the night they were burned out.
Another building was raised three days
later, another will be ready in . few
days. The large building that will be
necessary will not be built until warm
weather.

Buried by Sliding Sand.
JAMES MILIGAN OF AUGUSTA LOSES
HIS LIFE AT SOUTH PARIS.

Caught by caving sand bank al
South Paris Sunday morning, James
Mlligan of Augusta, 80 years Of age, wa,
buried out Of sight, and was dead wher
uncovered little later.
Miligan was at work for e. z. Hoxie
& Co., the contractors who are building
the concrete dam for the Maine Power
Co., and had been employed a. shoveleI
in the sand pit. The sand for the con
crete was obtained from the steep, high
bank on the east side of the river, at the
lower end of the yard below the power
station, some thirty or forty rods from
the works at the dam, and out of sight
around bend of the bank.
1t was about o'clock Sunday morn
ing that the accident occurred. John
Frederick, who was driving the team
hauling the sand, went up to the works
with load, leaving Miligan alone at
the pit On bis return Frederick found
that q slide had come down from the
bank, and that Miligan was nowhere TO
be seen.
As fast as possible Frederick ran to
the works, shouting, and a number Ut
men with shovels were quickly there
Although they did not know where the
man was buried, they strung out in line,
and very shortly discovered him. There
was not more than five or six inches of
sand over his face. His pick was in his
hands, and his position indicated that
while facing the bank and at work, be
had been struck BY the slide and thrown
back ward, almost into horizontal posi-
ton, without warning or any time to
move out of his tracks.
DIR. Littletield was summoned in haste,
and was on the spot by the time the
mans head was uncovered, but he was
dead, and there was nothing to be done.
The doctor is of the opinion that he was
stunned by the force of the blow when
the slide struck him.
From the place where Miligan
was working up to the top of the
bank is height of nearly or quite TWEEN
ty five feet. Along with the sand which
came down was section of the top sod
of the bank, with two pine stumps and a
quantity of bushes. This coming from
the top of the bank indicates that the
slide must have struck with considerable
force at the foot.
The body was taken 10 Miss Tbayer's
rooms, and was taken to
Augusta in the afternoon.
Mr.. Miligan leaves two sons, in the
vicinity of twelve and ten years of age,
both of whom are cared for with other
relatives.
