Names Highways .

Elsewhere in this issue is printed an
article by j. G. Scates, of Westbrook,
from pamphlet written by him on:
"Why is New Hampshire doing better
road work than Maine?"
This article is well worth the atten-
ton of every road commissioner in the
State; it is doubtless a fair and Just
criticism of Names method of road
building, and should be all the more
effective because made by a Maine
man.
After sufficient number of millions
of the peoples money has been squan-
dered by incompetent road builders,
the public may wake up to the fact that
scientific road building, carried on
according to an approved system, and
superintendent by men trained to the
work, is better and cheaper than the
puttering work now being done in SO
many towns, superintendent by men
whom politics and not proficiency in
the art of road building has landed in
the Office of road commissioner.

HANCOCK POMONA GRANGE.
Annual Meeting With Penobscot
Grange Last Saturday

Annual Meeting With Penobscot
Grange Last Saturday.
Penobscot grange entertained The Po-
mona Saturday, Oct. Z, for its annual
meeting. There was a good attendance.
The address of welcome was given by Jen-
ME NJ. Bridges, and the response by N. L.
Heath. Considerable routine business
was transacted, including the reading OF
the reports of the different officers.
Immediately after dinner the degree OF
Pomona was conferred on twelve candi-
dates, after which tine meeting proceeded
to the election Of officers. There were no
contests, and everyone seemed to be well
satisfied with the result.
Master, N. L. Heath; overseer, A. T..
Gillis; lecturer, Emma A. Bowden;
steward, Eugene Osgood; assistant, stew
ard, Carroll Dunbar; chaplain, J. B. Will
son (re-eiected); treasurer, Alfred Saund-
ers; secretary, Roy F. Leach (re-elected) !;
gate-keeper, Hill Wilson; Ceres, Mary
Gillis; Pomona, Mrs. Annie Allen; Flora,
Alice Leach tre-elected); lady assistant
steward, Blanche Osgood.
The officers-elect were installed by
Bro. John E. Dority, assisted by Thomas
Grieye, j., and Eunice Dunbar. The
worthy lecturer was appointed chairman
of the committee on program for the en-
suing year, with authority to select her
associates.
1t was also voted that the fiscal year OF
this Pomona close with the last meeting
in September, and all bills for the year
closing be called in on or before that date.
This was done in order to avoid the delay
and consequent confusion resulting from
having the finance committee at work on
the books at the annual meeting, SO they
can get in their report.
Penobscot grange held special meeting
in the evening for the visitors, and a good
number remained until evening.

The Music Festival.

The Music Festival.
Not since the Maine music festival
was started back in 1897, has the in
defatigable director-i in chief, William
r. Chapman, arranged a series of
concerts OF such all-round variety and
interest as those to be given this year.
The festival opens in Bangor to-
morrow evening, and will continue
through Friday and Saturday = Ave
concerts in all - and star at every
concert, and some OF them have sew
eral.
This is the fifteenth festival-each
90 audacious when announced that
predictions were freely INDUCED in
that it could not be carried out, and
yet from the beginning not soloist
has failed to appear as announced.
and not an artist, most of whom were
comparatively unknown to Us in
Maine, who has not met expectations.
Outside the big cities, no musical
organization in the country can show
such record as the Maine music
festival. No musical organization of
its size has had the same conductor
continuously for fifteen years. When
in addition to the work OF training, it
is stated that Mr. Chapman is also
responsible for the selection of the
music, the securing of the soloists, the
gathering of an orchestra, the tre-
mendous amount of energy he has
put into it all can. hardly be realized.
AS an opportunity to hear good
music we'll performed; as an institu-
ton whose educational influence is
state wide; as factor in the social
and musical life of Maine, this Maine
music festival makes powerful
appeal to the public for approval and
support.

with large quantity Of lumber, were
burned last night, involving loss OF
about $4,000.
Nearly dozen dwelling houses in the
vicinity caught fire from flying sparks,
but only one was damaged to any ex-
tent. The fire put the telegraph lines out
OF commission and obstructed the Maine
Central railroad lines SO that the night
train from the west was not able to reach

Deputy Sheriff Frank E Higgins has
rendered his resignation to Sheriff Web
ster, of Ellsworth, to take effect Saturday.
This action is the outcome of conferences
of the county commissioners and other
county officials, who were of the opinion
that the services of the deputies in the
town OF Eden were costing the county of
Hancock too much money. Deputies Puffer
and Higgins have been very active dur
ing the past summer in attempting to en-
force the prohibitory law in Bar Harbor
and the bills that the county has been
called upon to pay for the work have been
pretty large. Retrenchment was decided
upon and the powers said that one deputy
must suffice for the town OF Eden, at least
during the winter MONTHS Bar Harder

Ira B. Hagan, jr., has no need of firearms
to hunt cartridges. With L. F. Giles he
was in Mariaville recently, running line
through the woods, when partridge few
into tree. Mr.. Giles, who had his gun
with him, wanted to shoot the bird, but
Mr.. Hagan was afraid he would scare it,
and said he would kill the bird with
pole. Mr.. Giles cut fifteen-foot pole for
him, and Mr.. Hagan went after the par
fridge. Creeping up on the bird as
stealthily as a cat, he made Q swipe with
the pole and drew first feathers. The par
fridge flew to another tree, and Mr..
Hagan went after him. Four times lie got
within swiping distance OF the bird, and
finally brought it down. Mr.. Giles took
the shells out OF his gun.
Bar Harbor is just closing its season,
nearly q month later than other Maine
coast resorts. This is not due to the fact
that Bar harbor has warmer weather than
the rest OF us; in fact, its geographical
position would indicate that it must be
some degrees chillier than say, for ex-
ample, here in our own Casco bay. The
prolonged season is due to the fact that
Bar Harbor's summer colony is made up
largely of people whose time is their own
and who are not called back to the cities
until they are ready to go; people who
realize that, as general thing, Septem-
Der is one of the most delightful of our
summer months at the seashore. Natural
ly, it was fortunate for Bar Harbor that
society should set the stamp of approval
upon it. 1t is interesting to note that
these wealthy vacationists have brought
Bar Harbor from a struggling fishing viii
lage to be one of the worlds most famous
watering places. The town of Eden, of
which Bar Harbor is the principal settle
ment, now has valuation of S6,329, 112
the property OF the permanent residents
being assessed at S2,752, 1863, and that OF
the residents at 1856, 7i9. OF course
Bar Harbor has plenty of natural beauties,
but had wealth and fashion not smiled on
this Eden, no such truly remarka BILE vslu-
