LIBERTY.
Mr. Walter N. Cargill, son of G. H. Cargill.
of this town, who for the past eleven years has
been in the employ of the Boston and North
ern Street Railway as superintendent of power
stations, with an office in Lynn, has been Of
fered much more lucrative position with the
Stone and Webster Engineering Corporation,
which is the largest company of its kind in
New England. Mr.. Cargill is to be highly
congratulated on this offer as it comes to him
unsolicited and is the reward of efficient and
painstaking work for period of ten years,
with the Boston & Northern. Mr.. Cargill is
we'll known in Liberty as he lived here until
he was twenty zone, attended and prepared for
college in the local High school, and for the
past ten years has spent portion of each
summer here with his family After attend
ing the local High school he entered the Uni
versty of Maine, from which he graduated in
1900 with the degree of B. S. in electrical en-
cheering. During his university course he
was prominent in the various literary and
musical organizations and won distinction in
his senior year as manager of the university
paper, :The Campus" He was also associate
manager of the college annual, "The Prism.
The success and high standing in his profession
won by Mr.. Cargill is good example of what
thorough training for profession will accom-
plish. Mr.. Cargill may be said % be in many
ways a self-made man, for when he was pre-
pairing for college here it was often necessary
to study alone, depending upon his own re-
sources. Many times wheE his teachers had
taken him as far as they could go he would push
ahead without guidance. Thus in little I'M
graded school, which was little more than a
grammar school, he was able to complete his
preparation for the State university in which
he took high rank as student. He will, no
doubt, achieve the same success and high
standing in his new position that he has attain
ed in his former work. His promotion is source
of qualification to his many friends here.

spected citizens, Fred Gilman. Mr.. Gilman
