who was the youngest of family of
eighteen children. His father lived to an

Capt. Means followed the sea over fifty
years, going al master mariner over forty
years. In this time he lost only one yes
sci, the brig Mary Ann, built in surry in
1850. The brig caught Ere on a voyage
from Rockport to Charleston, S. c., with
lime, in January, 1852. Capt. Means and
his crew were taken of by an outward

days, and Tor many weeks Captain Means
and his crew were given up as lost.
Capt. Means has lived in Ellsworth over

The Commercial Bulletin joins with the
New England world OF Journalism in
lamenting the death OF Frank W. Rollins,
of Ellsworth, Maine.
Though an educator aud public official,
the real profession OF his life and the
profession that be loved was Journalism
and journalism OF the ld-fashioned
type. A close student, q patient and
thorough investigator, his work was al
ways directed ON the highest levels and
for clean purposes. He appreciated and
acted ON the conviction that the journ-
alist can be the most valuable of all SER
wants of the public, and that though q
journal must be run at a profit il il is
run at all, nevertheless the duty of tell
ing the truth is greater than the neces-
sity of mere money making.
For many years he was the managing
editor and editorial writer OF the Boston
Commercial Bulletin, and later. when the
proprietor OF a newspaper OF his own, he
was still welcome visitor at this Office.
OF high character he was well beloved
in life and 10 mourned in death by q vide
circle of friends. Some graduates OF Har-
ward may have left more conspicuous
careers to grace her name, but none in
his own life more fully exemplified the
old university's own motto, ayeritas.' =

Two bills have been introduced in
Congress looking to the conservation
of the food fish supply-one to pre-
vent the use of food fish in the raanu-
facture OF oil and fertilizer, and the
other to enable the department OF
commerce to regulate seining. Maine
has been more provident than many
states in enaeting laws for. the conser-
walton of its fishing industries, but to
reap the full benefit from these pro-
tective measures, cooperation OF
other states is needed. There seems
no good argument why the govern
ment should not extend its protecting
hand over our migratory fab as it re-
Gently has over our migratory birds.

state HIGHWAYS.

The hearings before the State high
way commission on the laying out Of
the State highways provided for under
the new law, are naturally and prop
erly attracting lively interest. AT
the hearing in Bangor Saturday, two
routes through Hancock county were
discussed, one the direct route from
Bangor to Bar Harbor, the other by a
circuitous route through the western
towns of the county and up to Els
worth, thence to Bar Harbor direct.
This brings directly up TO the high
way commission the question in
volved in ali its hearings, and bearing
on the real object of the new State
highway law whether the object is
to construct throughout the State to
principal points by the most direct
route series of trunk lines, or so to
construct them as to serve the great
est number of people. The same
issue will be brought mp at the hear
ing in Machias Friday, when residents
of the shore towns will ask the COM
missioners to substitute route by
way of those towns instead of the
direct route through the Cherryield
woods.
The question Is q fundamental one,
and there are strong arguments on
both sides. There is little doubt that
the original idea was for series of
trunk roads, to be tapped eventually
by State-aid roads constructed by the
towns. The law aimed at q future
perfect system of State highways.
The task set before the highway COM
mission is TO harmonic this plan with
present day interests and influence.
1t is not an easy one, but we believe
the members and engineers of the
highway commission are equal to it.
To many of the people of this
section, it seems highly desirable that
the roads should be laid out to serve
the greatest number, il 1t can be done
without too great an additional cost.
Others take broader view of the
question, and believe that the
greatest ultimate good will result by
building the direct trunk Iines-the
main arteries oil a good roads system
which, in time, Connected by net
work OF State aid roads, will reach to
every mainland town and hamlet in
the State.

Harbor Discussed.
AT the hearing before the state highway
commission In Bangor Saturday, q lively
little fight was put up by Hancock county
towns Tor change In the proposed route
OF State highway NJ, from Bangor to Bar
Harbor.
The route as originally proposed is by
the direct route from Bangor through
Ellsworth. The route which the commits
sion was urged to substitute is By way OF
the Penobseo. river road to Bucksport
and Penohscot, and thence across the
county through Biuebin to Ellsworth,
following the route as originally proposed
from here to Bar Harbor.
The route asked for Is considers bly,
longer, but win serve a much greater
number OF people and viii follow in many
towns roads ON which State road work has
already been done, 30 that the cost OF con-
strucsion win not be in proportion 10 the
increased distance.
Ellsworth, Bar hsrbor, Biuehill, Bucks
port, Dedham and other towns were rep
resented at the hearing. Many OF those
present favored the route by way OF
Bucksport. A representative from Ded-
ham and those present from Bar HArbor
advocated the direct route.
The Ellsworth delegation was divided
in its opinion, but those who spoke
favored the Backspor, route. Since the
meeting. considerable opposition 10 this
route has developed In Ellsworth.
Those present from Ellsworth were
