The Governor asked Embret if ne
was employed in the department of ag-
riculture and received an affirmation
Fe then asked what salary was paid
him and was told So week; and he
is appointed, ne said. by the commits
sioner Of agriculture. Asked what his
duties We're, Embree declared that his
duties in his position had never beer
defined but that the aim Of his Office
was to better the conditions existing
in the market for the prpdur- Of
Names farmers and to aid in arrange
ments for purchasing their supplies to
advantage.

bree answered that he worked under
the commissioner Of agriculture but
that he Rad received very few instruc-
tions
Have you received any instructions

a dual position; he is manager Ct The
Farmers Union and chief OF the bu-
reau Of Marketing Supplies, as the Of

The Farmers Union

lin answer TO the Governors several
questions in regard to the business of
the Union, Embree said that there are
at present - local branches of the
Farmers Union Of Maine with full
membership Of about 5000. The mem
bers Of the Union pool their orders for
supplies and send him to the source of
supplies to obtain the best possible
prices. The Union. as such, neither
buys nor sells; after the contracts are
made the transactions are made sepa-
rately by the purchasers of the sup
plies. Some business has been done
through the medium Of Austin e.
Haines. q wholesale concern in Water
Vile, for the Union has had no capi-
tai and has been forced TO place the
actual transaction Of business in the
hands of those who have had funds
with which TO work.
Ex-Governor Haines
Last week the Central Farmers On
ion made plans TO purchase Austin &
Haines business and it is understood
that in the future the Farmers Grain
Supply Co, organized under the gen.
eral law for corporations, at $4,000
will constitute the medium through
which the Unions will work. Cues
tions We're asked apparently seeking
to show that Gov. Haines. the Haines
of Austin & Haines. had favored con-
nection with the Union through Mr.
Embree but the interrogafor failed to
make any capital out of the effort, Mr..
Embree declaring that someone had to
have the business and Austin & Haines
alone would take it. other wholesalers
refusing to work in conjunction with
the Union.

Controversial Matters

The center of interest al the meet
ing Of the Governor and Council
Wednesday was not in the two pardons
granted but in the controversy started
by the Governor at the request Of
Commissioner Guptfll. The popular
commissioner Of agriculture, whose
dignitied craftsmanship and polished
diplomacy has raised the department
from the depths Of obscurity in the
soil 10 notOriety of proportions which
startles the Democrats Of the State,
INDUCED himself Wednesday in d most

Of the agricultural department of the
State
Mr.. TEmbSes, al present a resident IF
WaterviIle. is called Chief of the Bit
reau of Marketing Supplies Ind he
is also. by election, manager of the
Farmers Union of Maine. The dis
agreement which was aired before the
Governor and Council Wednesday,
dates back TO the day when Guptil
wrote Embree asking for certain con-
tracts made between the Farmers
Union and agricultural supply houses,
probably fertilizer companies in the
contracts and Mr Guptil has since
that day been deeply concerned in the

EAST COAST is MORE
THAN TWENTY YEARS OLD

Twenty years ago the east coast of
Florida which is today such highly
developed, thickly populated, beauti-
full section, was a trackless waste.
The change was wrought through the
building of the Florida East Coast
railway from Jacksonville to Miami.
In the beginning the prospect was
most uninviting. Nobody lived along
the east coast. There was no one
down in that section except a few
white families and few hundred In
dams. What need was there for a
railroad through such a country p
Clearwater Sun.
Where did your honorable honor
get that idea? If you had asked any
well posted man from the East Coast,
he would have told you better.
Twenty-eight years ago last sum-
mer the writer went down the East
Coast from New Smyrna to Miami in
a sailboat. The East Coast was then,
and had been for years, a favorite
winter resort of northern tourists,
and the banks of the Halifax, Hills
borough and Indian rivers were stud
ded thick with towns and homesteads.
Flourishing orange groves were num-
erous, and Indian River Oranges"
had a great reputation in New York.
Ormond, Daytona, Hawks Park,
Titusville, Cocoa, Rockledge, Eau
Gallie, Melbourne, Jupiter, Palm
Beach and many other places were
young and fourishing towns. New
Smyrna was hundred years old and
Port Orange had existed for two score
years. Titusville was the terminus of
one of the best equipped railroads in
Florida. There were two lines of
steamers on Indian river and scores
of excellent hotels doing business on
the banks.
More than that. The people who
lived in that favored region in those
days, if they had not quite so many
conveniences as now, had as much or
more solid prosperity.
