| tended most Of the meetings of TIL
National Encanpment, and WAS a
member Of the State commission en-
the observance Of the iiftieth ami
versary of thu battle # Gettysburg.
and anticipated the gathering with
much pleasure. It vas largely through
his instrnmenlal5ty that aeVeral sue
cessful Fairs were held, which result
ed in tie gost ownership of The pre-
emit O. n. r. hall.
1T was, however, ds u citizen Of Gardi-
ner, that he WAS best known and no man
ever |oved his native city more. rs
President of the Gardiner Board of Ttade
for six years he was un4uestionably the
prime, mover in making the Gardiner
Board of Trade one of the most active
organizations in the state. Mr.. McCaus-
land brought to Gardiner the first dy-
namo east of Portland and the first elee-
tfic light seen in this section was through
his efforts. and he controlled the cleo
trio lighting system until it was aeaui! ed
by the Kennebec Light & Heat Co The
Board of Trade carnival of 1886 the fame
of which was nation wide, was the re-
suit of his active, untiring efforts.
Mr. McCausland came of family that
for generations has been proud TO ae-
knowledge Gardiner as their birthplace
and home He married. IN 1S6s. Abbie +,
daughter of y. L. Wing, and three chill
dren were born, one of whom. Fred L.
McCausland, treasurer of the Oakland
Mfg. Co, survives His granddaughter
Eleanor is the sixth generation to be
born in Gardiner.
Mr.. sMcCausland was a men whom it
was II pleasure to know. Clean, honest
and enterprising. HIS jovial, hearty good
nature made him an ideal companion. lie
had travelled extensively over this coun-
try and had the faculty Of telling u story
of his travels in a manner exceiled BY
few.
1t can be said of him, without fear OF
contradiction, that no citizen al Gardiner
ever did 50 much purely for the public
good, with no thought of personal gain,
than A. ". McCausland He NILS con-
slant attendant at the Baptist church and
his daily life cxemplifcd the Golden
Rule Hiss loss will be incurred by all
citizens Of Gardiner. but it is as hts
band and father that he will be most
missed, as he was a devoted husband and
an ideal father Funeral services will be

LITTLE PROGRESS MADE
IN FINANCING HOTEL
Shareholders in New Arlington
Meet, But No Definite Action
lis Taken.

Little real progress was made at the
meeting in New York yesterday of the
shareholders of the Arlington Hotel Com
pany. and in dispatches from that city II
is stated that the session was neither well
attended nor did it give much hope of a
successful solution of the problem of con-
verting the great excavation at Vermont
avenue, H and streets into $4,000, OOO
hosiery.
President George Howard was in the
chair at the meeting and he gave a
detailed exposition of the status of the
affairs of the hotel company, as briefly
outlined in the call which he issued
a week ago for the meeting.
Eldridge E. Jordan represented T.
Coleman DUPONT the powder magnate,
and Charles p Taft. brother of former
President Taft at the meeting. The
only tangible result secured was the
designation of a committee to consist
of Mr.. Dupont, Mr.. Taft, Mr.. Jordan
and Gen. James A. Buchanan of Wash
ington, but no real suggestion was
forthcoming as to just how to raise
the $1.5OO,O00 necessary before the
work may proceed.
1t was intimated that either Mr.. Taft
or Mr.. DUPONT might go ahead with
the project If such happens to be their
desire. but If the committee or any OF
it's Individual members does not hap
pen to wish to supply the cash. they
may wait upon the Equitable Life As
surance Society to see what it Will do
to assist the enterprise. The Equitable
now holds an ndred-th0uSand-
dollar first motgage on the property.
which cost the hotel company $1.40O.-
900, plus $25O.O00 for the excavation.
1t is expected the committee also may
interview the various contractors to
discover II second trust notes would
be a sufficiently attractive considera-
ton for them to carry the work to
completion.
But If all of these tentative plans fail
the committee will endeavor to save as
much as possible from the failure, If
failure 1t is to be.
