Many readers of The Journal will re-
gret to learn of the affection that has
brought to a close the activities of Mar
cellus j. Dow of Brooks. For more than
a third of century Mr.. Dow has been
The Journals Brooks correspondent and
a contributor in other lines, and in all
shat time has had the interests of the
paper and of his town at heart 1t is
through the efforts of Mr.. Dow and of
other enterprising and public-spirited
citizens that Brooks has fairly won the
4itie of "the biggest little town in
Maine.' Mr.. Dow has been active and
prominent in Good Templary, in the
Grange and the secret orders, has served
one term in the legislature from his class
and was nominated in the primary for
the Senate. He has been engaged in
business for many years, ably assisted by
his wife and daughters, and has also
carried on large farm. He will be
snu CHI missed from the scenes of his
former activities, and in this city, where
he was frequent and always welcome
visitor. The family have the deep SYM
patty of many friends in the aff1iction
which has befailen the husband and
father.

Mrs. Otis Patterson has pink rambler rose
that has been beautiful sight. She trained
it very artistically around window so that
the large pink clusters hung down. There
were II roses in the bunch she sent the
writer and there are many larger clusters. 1t
attracts a great deal of attention from the
passers by.
There is good deal of hay to be cut yet.
and all meadows and lowlands are so wet they
cannot be cut until there is sun enough to dry
them out, and with rain every other day it is a
hard proposition for the farmers. Beans are
rusting b adly, with grain lodged. Whole pieces
are fiat. 1t looks as though the farmers would
have to look to next year for the profits, in
this section at least.

For nearly sc years the writer ha

For nearly sc years the writer has
compiled the ship news for The Journal,
and for many years it iscluded stand
ing list giving the whereabouts of the
quare-riggers owned in this section or
commanded by our seafarers. That list
was given up long ago, because the ships,
banks and briggs had become barges or
dl sappeared from the government list.
Of late W have noticed the few arrivals
a nd departures from the port of Bangor
of ether than the regular steamers and
bay coasters, and last Saturdays Com
mercial, under the caption of Bangor,
Past and Present, gave two views from
Bar Harbor wharf, one taken about 1890
and the other in 1915. Of the first view
it says: 1.-THE group of vessels clustered
around the City Point wharf recalls the
extensive lumber shipping once a fea-
rture of that point" and of the 1915
view: ''The lack of shipping is strong
contrast with former days." The build
ing of the Northern Maine Seaport rail-
way with terminals at Cape Jellison and
Mack's Point has diverted much of the
shipping business from Bangor, but there
is another thing that makes the shipping
list of today look meager. In former
days the coastwise trade was carried on
by vessels of from 100 to 400 tons, while
today we have schooners of 1,50O to
5000 tons. The writer once counted at
nchor off the North Shore, Northport,
thirty-fve sailing craft outward bound,
held there by fog and head winds. There
were many small craft in the fleet, with
k deck loads of lumber or hay piled so high
sthat reefs in their lower sails were
necessary and a splice had to be made in
the cabin stovepipe. Probably not one
of that fleet is afioat today.

DO YOU SUFFER
FROM BACKACHE ?

When your kidneys are weak and
torpid they do not properly perform
their functions; your back aches
and you do not feel like doing much
of anything. You are likely to be
respondent and to borrow trouble,
just as if you hadn't enough al
ready. Don't be a victim any longer.
The old reliable medicine, Hoods
Sarsaparilla, gives strength and
tone to the kidneys and builds up
the whole system. Get it today.

The Interstate Commerce commission
made a severe cut last week in the
freight rates of anthracite railroads and
there was an immediate decline in the

tor of the Boston Globe says: 1.-The
report that the decision just handed

saving of about So, 100000 year to the
consumer is probably entirely wrong.
ANY reduction in freight rates in the end
will be added to the cost of coal, so The
railroads will not lose on that score, and
in the end the ultimate consumer will
pay the sum-" Las, year the State of
Pennsylvania passed a law which created
coal mined in the State. The tax cost
was passed on to the retail dealer, who
in turn passed it on to the ultimate con-
sumer, who paid so cents or more per
ton. In the present case it Is said that
the coal carriers in the end may earn
more money than ever. That was the
result of the government raid on the
Standard Oil trust. Its integral parts
made more money than before and the
public paid more for kerosene. In
Massachusetts the minimum wage COM
mission has decreed wage scale which

The Shoe Situation.

Increased strength has appeared in the
footwear market. which is natural in view of
the extreme prices prevailing for hides and
leather. Buying Is still restricted among both
jobbers and retailers, the latter being engaged
chiefly in clearing out summer stock in pre-
paration for fall trade. Little that is essential
ly new has developed in the leather situation.
