PLUNGES
40 FEET
TO WATER

A lucky star certainly was hover
ing over James Campbell last Friday.
Campbell is neither a diver, high
jumper or swimmer, but neverthe-
less he did all three things, and aside
from a''slight bruise on the shoulder
was unhurt. Campbell who is a
fireman on the Grand Trunk was
walking along the running board of
his engine as it was passing over the
draw in Portland Harbor when he
missed his footing and plunged 40
feet to the water below. Being un-
able to swim, death seemed immi-
nent but fortunately witness to his
fall hastened to his aid and succeeded
in reaching him just as he was about
to go in under for the last time.
He has been receiving numerous
congratulations the past week from
his many railroad friends upon his
miraculous escape.

THE YEARS INooRPoRATIoNs

In spite Of the common understand.
inc that the wear lust closed has beeu
rather iethargic in business enterprises
auI in progressive development. it ap.
pears that. so far as incorporation pa,
pcrs flied in the Eastern States are
concerned the year 1911 was not so
slow: in fact. it may be said TO have
been a record breaking wear save for
the wear 1910. The ngures have been
compiled By the New York Journal OF
Commerce and Commercial Bulletin,
from which We take them, as follows:
Papers filed in the Eastern States in
December for companies with an au-
thoriZcd capital or Sl.OO0.0 and over
involved par value OF Slj9.450 600. mal-
ing the total for the wear 81 1891 i3l. 400.
This Is smaller than the PRECEDING year
by Si30,lSG,O ,O50 The large companies in
colDoratcd in States other than those Of
the East during December amounted 10
s2I 900 GOO and for the year 90 S09,Ji0. 600
Charters taken ont by other companies
with an Individual capital Of Sl0O, 900 or
more but under $1,000 600 during The
past month represented S35.559. 900. which
brought the grand total for 1911 UP TO
s. 2,SS9,3SI $50.

can afford 10 allow quite \ margin

is at once Illuminating aud saddening.
IL shows what VIC ought to do; and il
shows that our woolcn manufacturers
are willing to plod along with worn-out

And yet it was the most natural thing

finest character. and the report is con-
clnsiYe as 10 the primal cause Of the
| wreck. This report is made by the
board OF engineers appointed to raise
the Maine, aud it calls attention TO the
| necessity for additional funds TO com.
pletc the work. These funds should un-
doubteIly be provided. and the wreck
completely cleared away. As VIC sug-
gested few DAYS ago. the particular

which caused the wreck.
We wish to add suggestion in this
matter that we believe would be re-
ceived not only with favor, but With
enthusia SIN by the people We refer 10
the matter of illustrations in rubllc
printing, that would be great addi-
tlons to their value. The Congressional
Record woull be improved by fine
illustrations. and especially would be
improved if the opening number on the
assembling of Congress would give to
the public good photogravurc portraits
of the members appearing TO be
sworn in The personal appearance Of
the members of Congress is often an
important factor, and the newspapers
OF the country as we'll as the general
public. would appreciate the furnishing
