A complete reorganization of the
Canyon Canal Company was effected
and general shake-up of officials
occurred. George w. Rogers of Boi-
Sc is the new president and w. T.
Cross, secretary. For some time
there have been rumors that the
Trowbridge-Niver Company had un-
der-estimate the ultimate cost of
the project. Representatives of the
company, after an investigation, re-
port that $250,000 more would be re-
quired to complete it. A new con-
tract has been made with Faris &
Kesl, the contractors, for the lump
sum of $250,O0O, in addition to the
amount already expended.
A new chair car has been added to
the service on the Idaho Northern, and
a new engine purchased. Jim Bell,
the engineer, will be as stuck up as a
piece Of fly paper when the new engine
comes.
At meeting of the -four mill COM
pany at Sweet, all the stock, amount
ing to $4,000, was subscribed and
decision reached to incorporate the
company.

THE imperative mead for revenue !,

congressman TO enact . skeleton tar
m law without rebate ~ soon ~ pos
aible after the new congress nests
and thsn to correct It at leisure.
Representative Fordney IL attempt
ing to securing the Enforcement Of
Mr.. Harding for this program. The
arguments In support Of It are sim
pie. Whenever 1t Is known that the
rates are TO be raised importers rush
goods into the country At the old
rates. 1t is estimated that the pro-
posed skeleton bill would save nearly
500, 000, 900 In revenue. Its passage
would meet the immediate emergency
and allow time for correcting the in
ternal revenue laws while the COM
mittees we're perfecting the tariff
law. No serious objection to this
plan could be raised il we are to draft
q tariff law of the kind that used to
itself to congress. But the
country is now confronted by condi-
ions the like Of which 1t never met |
before. We are selling abroad
much greater amount Of goods than
We buy abroad. We cannot collect
'ay for what we sell in the present
tate of world affairs unless we per-
nit foreign goods to come in. So

The Pneumonia Month

March is typical pneumonia
month and usually gives a high rate
or mortality for the disease. After
a long and hard winter, the system
loses much of its resistance and peo-
pie grow careless. When every cold,
no matter how slight, is given prompt
and intelligent attention, there is
much less danger Of pneumonia. 1t
should be borne in mind that pneu-
monia is germ disease and breeds
in the throat. Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is an expectorant and cleans
out the germ laden mucus and not on
ly cures a cold but prevents its re-
sulting in pneumonia. 1t is pleasant
to take. Children take it willingly.

Novel Solution.

A lot of mystery still cllngs to the
Chinese in New York, despite metro
politan influences. Often the whole
personnel Of a Chinese restaurant or
laundry will change overnight, and
you can't find out why or where the
others vanished to. 1t may be they
gamble for them.
Not long ago man who had been
patronizing Chinese laundry so long
they didn't give him check for his
wash called for his shirts and collars
and found one of those strange over
night changes had taken place. No
one knew him, and his check was de-
handed. He raved and argued in that
eXasperatingly futile way so well
known to one who has tried to talk
to a Chinaman.
Finally he had an inspiration, took
off his collar and showed the China
man the laundry mark in their own
hieroglyphics. He got his bundle.

NOT REALLY A DEF0RMITY

Learn Concerning the Physical
Structure Of a Duck.

They dined out the other evening
with some friends, where roast duck
was the principal dish. Husband
seemed to enjoy 1t so much that the
little bride decided to surprise him
with similar treat at their next
days dinner, although she had never
cooked one in her life.
The next morning when the duck
arrived she proceeded to finish the
cleaning, when suddenly she stopped
and going to the telephone, she called
up the butcher and told him she
wanted some one to come after that
duck right away, as she would not
keep it. ...i.,
"Why?" asked the butcher.
Because it is deformed," she re-
piled, land l could not eat single
mouthful."

OBITUARY.
MISS ELVIRA L. AUSTIN.

Miss Elvira l.. Austin, formerly
of Ellsworth, died at the Andover
hospital in Andover, Mass, Tuesday
of last week Miss Austin had a
long and wearing illness, with a
form of heart trouble that entailed
much suffering, and death came as
a welcome release.
Miss Austin was born in Ellis
worth on Christmas day, 1889. Her
parents died when she was young,
and she made her home with her
Grandmother Jordan, who lived then
on the Surry road Ambitious to
become a teacher, she fitted herself
for the profession, for which she
had natural aptitude, and was grad
uated from the Salem Mass nor
NAL school. She did some teaching
in Maine, but eventually found her
sphere as a teacher in the grammar
grades in the Charles Sumner school
in Roslindale, Mass, where for a
long term of years she rendered
splendid service. In that time
great host of boys and girls passed
through her room, and when they
had been graduated from her grade.
they were we'll fitted for the next
step in their education. A fine dis
ciplinarian, coupled with the ability
to make others see things as she
saw them, made her an ideal in
structor 1t was beautiful COM
pensation that, when the long illness
came, many of her former pupils,
now mature women, visited her and
showed her many attentions, proving
their loyalty to their former teacher
Miss Austin was also woman
of deep religious spirit, and early
in life became a member of the Ellis
worth Baptist church. While tor
many years she had had no perma-
nent address in this city, simply
spending the summer vacations here,
she always kept her membership
with the church, and in every way
counted as a faithful member, Civ
ing of her means to help forward the
welfare of the organization. While
she lived thriftily, she gave gener-
ously to many objects that chal-
lenged her interest and sympathy,
and it is gratifying to note that her
helpfulness in many directions will
not cease, for her benefactions will
continue through certain requests
that she has made, her old church
being on the list.
The funeral was held in the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Daniel Champion,
44S South Union street, Lawrence,
Mass, Thursday afternoon, Rev. P.
A. A. Killam, former pastor and
long time friend, officiating. In the
same house live Mr. and Mrs. Hollis

pion being distantly related to the
deceased. The body was brought

WANTED ALL TO UNDERSTAND
cicerone at Holy Sepuchre at Jeru-
salem Careful to Impress Gospel
Facts on Visitors.

Either l was particularly fortunate
or others are particularly fastidious.
The guide who showed me the Holy
Sepulchre in Jerusalem was not par
ticularly noisy or profane or palpa-
bly, mercenary; he was rather more
or less sympathetic than the same
sort of man who might have shown
me Westminster abbey or Stratford-
on-Avon.
He was a small, solemn, owlish old
man, so far from deserving the charge
of not knowing the Bible, he deserved
rather a gentle remonstrance against
his assumption that nobody else knew
it. If there was anything to smile at
in associations so sacred, 1t was the
elaborate simplicity with which ne
told the first facts of the Gospel story
as if he were evangelizing a savage.
Anyhow, he did not talk like cheap
jack at stall, but rather like teach-
err in an infant school.
He made it very clear that Jesus
Christ was crucified, In case anyone
should suppose he was beheaded; anu
often stopped In his narrative TO re-
peat that the hero Of these events
was Jesus Christ, lest we should fancy
it was Nebuchadnezzar or the duke OIL
Wellington. l do not in the least MIND
being amused at this, but l have no
reason whatever for doubling that he
may have been a better man than l..
I gave him what / should have given
similar guide in my own country;
parted with him as politely as from
one of my own countrymen.-F'rom

ELLSWORTH FALLS.

Wesley Rogers and wife of Kittery
and Mary Slater and daughter Thel-
ma, Miss Phyllis Leslie and Master
Francis Carey of Brookline, Mass,
returned to their homes last week,
after two weeks with relatives here.
Llewellyn Franklin and family of
Beverly, Mass, and Frank Arlington
of Marblehead, Mass, who have been
visiting Mr.. Franklin's parents, left
Monday for their homes, by auto.
Rodney Simms, who came in the
party, returned home Saturday.
Richard Moore and family of Au-
gusta have been visiting Mr.. MoOre's
parents, John A. Moore and wife.
The community was shocked to
learn of the death of Henry Moore
at the hospital in Bangor on Tues
day, Aug. 80. Mr.. Moore was in
jured by falling from staging on
August II, while working at the c.
l.. Morang residence in Ellsworth,
breaking both bones of his right leg
below the knee, the bones prOtrud-
ing through the flesh, making the
break an exceptionally bad one. Mr..
Moore was rushed to the hospital,
and everything possible was done to
availing, as infection started imme-
diately and it was found necessary
to amputate the leg above the knee
on August IS. Mr.. Moore rallied
fairly we'll, and seemed to be gain
ing, and his family and many friends
were beginning to feel considerably
encouraged up to Tuesday OF last
week, when he dropped off very sud
denly. Mr.. Moore was the second
Oldest of family of three boys born
to Alpheus and Geraldine Moore.
He was born at Hancock fifty-six
years ago, and moved here with his
parents when seven years of age. He
had lived here ever since. He was
a carpenter by trade, and trusted
and efficient workman. He had
worked in Bar Harbor for long
term of years, and had charge OF
work on some of the largest build
ings there. For the past four years
he had worked about town as car
penter with Leon H. Brown. He
was an industrious and valued cltl-
zen, and will be greatly missed in
the place. He leaves, besides his
wife and son Gerald, his aged moth
err, who has always made her home
with him; also two brothers, Charles
O. Moore of Princeton, Mimi, and
Leroy M. Moore of Salisbury Cove,
all of whom have the deepest SYM
pathy of their many friends. The
funeral was held at the church Fri
day afternoon at l o'clock, Rev.
Henry w. Conley officiating. Mr..
Moore was an Odd Fellow, having
joined the Bar Harbor lodge twenty
years ago. A delegation of Ellsworth
Odd Fellows attended the funeral in
body, and conducted services at
the grave. Interment was in the
family lot at Greenwood cemetery.
The floral offerings were beautiful.
