Columbus cottIe, an Appreciation

. In the passing of Columbus Cottle
the city of Augusta has lost one of
its most esteemed citizens. He was
one of those staunch, upright, honest,
public-spirited men, in the production
of which Maine has been prolific. He
gave himself upsparingly in his serv-
ice to every good cause and whether
that service was a neighborly kindness
or the discharge of a public trust it
was emphasized by the same manly in
tegrity. His service as street COM
missioner for the city of Augusta is a
matter Of history and is remembered
by our older residents as most eff
cient and Industrious.
Mr.. Cottle had a wide circle of
trusting friends among the leaders in
the political life of the city. of special
mention being his interest in. and his
intimacy with the late James G..
Blaine. Always a devoted Republican,
he long served as a member of his
ward in the conduct of city, State and
national elections. All in all Mr..
Cottle is remembered as a true friend,
kind neighbor. faithful, honest
public servant. He retained his inter-
est in all matters of a public nature
even to the end. and when he was too
weak to read himself he sought from
those around him information regard
ing the latest activities of the world.
He has greatly enriched the world by
his sincere, simple. kindly life and
will be long remembered by those who
knew him best and SO loved him most

Is Start Drive
for Kennebec
Steamboat Project

The campaign now in progress to
make use of the Kennebec river as a
means of transportation is a chal-
lenge to the farsightedness of Au-
gusta people, and with fun faith in
the common sense of residents Of the
Kennebec Valley, the drive was be-
gun in earnest today. Carl e. Crosby
wired from Bath early yesterday
morning that teams We're being or
ganized in every port at which the
steamboats, would stop and that Bath
expected to reach her quota within
the time limit set. He wanted to
know if Augusta would measure up
to her share. of 100000 and was told
to proceed and never worry" for
Augusta had never yet failed to hold
UP her end and would see this in
dispensible service resumed if ener-
getic efforts could turn the trick.
The river offers Augustus greatest
argument to the prospective individ-
ual plant. At least two of the indus
tries now located at Hallowell and
Augusta came here because of COM
munity support plus water transport
tation. Sixteen men. fully con-
WINGED of the need of boat service to
Boston. have taken list of two
hundred names and are making a
person to person canvass of the city

mittee is as follows: Ernest A. Gray,

Once Famous Horseman
Buried-Last Tributes

The funeral services of Peter Nc
Intire were held at the rooms Of

large number of old time friends were
| present. They were conducted by Rev.
j. Charles Macdonald of the Court

Mr.. McIntire has been a famous
character in his day. It has been
stated that he bought and sold more
horses than any other man in New
England. That. in fact, was his reg
ular business during his long life.
Mr.. McIntire was born in Newport,
VT. on April 20. 1885, and for many
years owned q private track for
training horses in that town. Be-
ginning as young man, it was his
custom to make an annual trim to
Canada. where he purchased manv
fine horses and brought them to New
York. Philadelphia and later to Bos-
ton, where he sold them to rich men
who kept stables of fast horses. For
customers he had such men as the
Vanderbilts and many other of the
wealthiest people in the country. IF
was his invariable rule to describe
ms horses with exact truth, and for
this reason his word became as good
as gold. No man hesitated to take
his description of any animal that he
owned. If he did not know the oua1-
tiles Of horse he frankly said GO
ana then the purchaser could take
MS chances. In recent talk with
the Journal he said that absolute
honesty was always the best policy
Tor horse dealer if he wished To
establish reputation and a busines.
NOT only was Mr.. McIntire a dealer
IN horses but he was also a fro
driver and made the grand cfrc,,,+
every year. He drove many of tha
tastest horses in the country and -
was ne who gave the famous Nelson
MS record mark. He had the ner-
sonal acquaintance of practically ay-
cry horseman in the country ava :.
may be added that he also had thsis
friendship.
MI. Mclntire was keen sportsman
