H. E. KREHBIEL DEAD.
Prominent Member of Bluehill Musi-
cal Summer Colony.

Prominent Member of Bluehill Musi-
cal Summer Colony.
Bluehill will mourn, as for an es-
teemed townsman, the death of
Henry E. Krehbiel, long a prominent
member of the distinguished circle of
artists of the music world who have
made Bluehill their summer home.
Mr.. Krehbiel was ever ready to give
of his talent and of his time to
further local affairs. He will be
missed in Bluehill, as one of fam
lily circle.
Mr.. Krehbiel died at Roosevelt
hospital, New York, Tuesday, March
20, after an illness of only three
days.
Henry Edward Krehbiel was the
dean of music critics in New York.
Less than year ago he celebrated
the fiftieth anniversary of his journa-
listic career. His first position was
with the Cincinnati Gazette, where
he made the acquaintance of White
law Reid, who subsequently bought
the Tribune and brought Mr.. Kreh-
biel to New York in 1879
Since that time he had occupied a
conspicuous place in the musical life
of America. In addition to almost
daily criticisms of operas, concerts,
oratories and festivals, he produced
more than a dozen books on music
Among them are Studies in Wag-
merriam Drama" Glow to Listen to
Music" Music and Manners of the
Classical Period" Chapters of
Opera" "a Book of Operas" "The
Pianoforte and It's Music" "Afro-
American Folk Songs" "a Second
Book Of Operas" and more Chap
tiers of Opera"
Mr.. Krehbiel was born in Ann
Arbor, Mich, in 1854. His father
Rev. J. Krehbiel, was a Methodist
circuit rider. The son was educated
in the public schools of Michigan and
Ohio. At the age of twenty he be-
came full-fedged music critic on
one of the leading newspapers of
the Middle West.
One Of Mr.. Krehbiel's last works
was translation of Thayer's Life
of Beethoven" At the close of the
war the Metropolitan Opera Co. COM
missioned him to translate Wagner's
"Parsifal," and his translation was
presented when German opera was
restored to the American stage.
In 1901 Mr.. Krehbiel was dec
Grated by the French government
with the Cross of the Legion of
Honor. He was a member of the
international jury, music section, at
the Paris International Exposition
of 1900, member of the Beethoven
Haus Verein, the society which
bought and preserves this birthplace
of Beethoven at Bonn as museum
member of the American Folk lore
society and member of the National
Society of Social Science He re-
ceived the honorary degree of M. A.
from Yale university in 1909.
Mr.. Krehbiel was twice married,
first in 1877 to Miss Helen Virginia
Osborne of Birmingham, Conn, who
died some years later, leaving him a
daughter, Miss Helen Krehbiel, and
second, in 1896, to Miss Marie Van of
Brooklyn, N. Y, who survives him.
Funeral services were held Friday
afternoon in the Cathedral of St.
John the Divine. There were present
many noted musicians, vocalists and
patrons of music. The musical
features of the service, which was
heightened to include a chorale and
an anthem, were from Mr. Krehbiels
favorite classics. The body was de-
posted in a vault at Woodlawn and
i. later will be brought to Bluehill for
interment.

POTATOES AND GOOD ROADS

We quote from the official crgar of
the Dairymen's League:
A farmer of the famous Aroostock
potato growing section OF Maine has
100 acres devoted TO potatoes seven
and one-half miles from market pro-
ducing $4,000 barrels of potatoes 4
year, and found it impossible to de-
liver the potatoes in season.
On account of the road grade be-
TWEEN farm and railroad one team
of horses could only haul 20 barrels
of potatoes at a trip. It would have
taken 1900 working days with one
team-just a little more than three
years-to hau! the potato crop to
maryet. 1t would take twenty teams
and twenty drivers to do the work in
season, which would cost more than
$4,000.
A motor truck was put to work
and based on the old price of 25 cents
a barrel for hauling the potatoes by
horses, this truck paid for itself the
first season, hauling $4,000 barrels.
This is not an advertisement of the
motor truck. ANY motor truck would
do it, provided it had the road and
no motor truck could do it unless it
had a good road over which TO travel
This is not an advertisement of po-
tato farming. The same economy
may be had with any produce whether
lettuce or grain, hay or onions, al
falfa or corn, if there is a good road
over which to haul it. No crop, no
matter how profitable to raise, is as
profitable to sell II it has to be mar
keted over a poor road.
This is an advertisement of the
need of good roads,
For if there had been no heavy road
grade, which cut down horse hauling
TO the point where the price was pro-
hibitive, the motor truck, which could
make it, could have made it at twice
the speed or with double the load and
half the cost.
Mud stalls the horse. Grade cuts
down his load. Mud stalls the truck

PAVING OR GRAVEL

1t is not three months ago that
the Ely Record, the motives and good
intentions of which have never been
challenged, published weekly editor
ials denouncing the state highway de
partment for not spending the money
on highway building in White Pine
county that had been raised by the
sale of bonds for The purpose and
upon which the taxpayers were pay
ing interest without getting its use.
the money meanwhile lying in the
treasury and corroding. Now that
Governor Scrugham has heroically
reversed this situation and by secur-
ing approval of the Ely-McGill paw
ing, the work demanded by the ma
iority of the county's taxpayers in
preference to any other, the same
Record says: The talk of a cement
highway between Ely and McGill IS
simply a waste of time going on at
length to show that there is not
enough money in view of the enor-
nous amount of work in hand, con .
Guiding by saying hal if the state
highway department will not approve
a gravel surfacing for this road then
the county will do it alone.
Either the Record was unjustifed
in its attacks on the highway board
three months ago for not spending
White Pine county's money, or it is
in error now in setting up the claim
that the county cannot afford this
woefully needed paving. 1t is not
altogether a question of consistency;
it is one OF fact. The White Pine
News is of the opinion that the

majority of the people Of White Pine
county want the highway between
Ely and McGill paved while it may

road, they not only will not resist
the demand, but will be the first tc

White Pine News is further inclined
