HOSEA Il. PHILLIPS DEAD.
EIlsworth's Picturesque NonaSena-
rian Drops Quietly Away.

Hosea b. Phillips, Ellsworth s
nonagenarian, picturesque inquire
on the streets of the city for many
years, dropped away last night after
short illness. Mr.. Phillips seemed
in his usual health this winter, and
was about town within two weeks OIL
his death. A week ago Sunday night
he suffered a chill in the night, but
was about the house until last Thurs
dav. when he took to his bed. He
failed rapidly after that, and life
that had run far beyond the average
course ran down.
Mr.. Phillips was born May L.,
1888, in Dedham, the youngest son
of Eohn and Jane Spencer Phillips
His father and brother were the
first 'squatter" settlers in the Phil
Inns lake section Of Dedham. They
were hunters and trappers, living
near Old Town, and on one of their
hunting trips visited the Phillips lake
region. They were struck with the
beauty of the locality, and decided to
come TO the place the following
spring and plant gardens, returning
in the fall to locate. This they did,
and when they returned in the fall to
build their log cabin, they found that
the garden. unattended, had flour
ished. and they harvested vegetables
enough to carry them through the
winter
Hosea b., the youngest and the
last survivor of a family of twelve
children, was the son to remain at
home and work with his father. He
was still a boy when his father dele
gated to him trips to Bangor with
wood. returning with grain. On one
of these trips he had a sheepskin to
sell, his father directing him to
man who would buy it. On the road
he was overtaken by another man
WIN q SneepShlu AOuNti SdNiOh lOu
to dicker, and Mr. Phillips named Il
price of 7 5 cents, buy or sell" The
man sold to Mr. Phillips. This trade
completed, another man with a
sheepskin happened along, learned of
the trade and the price, and sold his
skin to MIR. Phillips at the same
price.
When Mr. Phillips offered his skins
to the buyer in Bangor, he was told
/ that this one is worth $3.50, this
one 81, and this one onlyi50 cents, "
Mr.. Phillips was satisfied with his
/ trade, but wasn't satisfied with the
, information. He asked to be shown
! the difference in the skins, and it was
! pointed out to him. This was the be-
! ginning of Mr.. Phillips business
/ career and of his knowledge of skins
| and wool. He became a buyer of
skins, furs and hides, and this he
continued throughout his lifes For
years he carried wood to Bangor, re-
turning with grain to Dedham, driv-
ing to Ellsworth next day with the
grain which he sold to dealers here,
picking up skins and hides on the

We publish this week two more
communications on the Ellsworth
Hancock highway One of our cor
respondents, who takes The Ameri-
can to task for "somersaulting" on
the proposition, evidently did not
read our comment last week very
carefully. We simply stated the
change in sentiment when the propo-
sition seemed narrowed down to new
road or no road. There is no doubt
of this change of sentiment in ELS
worth; we may have been misin-
formed as to the extent of it in Han
cock, though the action of the town
meeting in indefinitely postponing an
article endorsing the Washington
Junction route seems to point toward
a majority the other way. Even the
road may be mere propaganda,
though it comes to us on apparently
reliable authority close to the State
highway commission. But, whether
propaganda or fact, on this PROPOSE
ton, as we said last week, Ellsworth
favors the new road AS between
the old route and the new route,
The American and we believe, a ma
iority of the people of Ellsworth
still favor the old route

Our Non-RcSidents.

Every now and then we hear the
complaint that we are doing too
much for our summer visitors and
non-ree. dents, who come here Tor
only few months or weeks OF each
wear. Every large expenditure for
new roads. bridges, or other improve
ment. meets with this criticism, but
fortunately it is a minority opinion
rapidly growing smaller, and Maine
is still forging ahead III cultivating
this enterprise in which it has no
northern competitor among the
states-the entertainment of non
residents.
But to those few who still feel that
Maine is doing too much in this di-
rection. the following comparative
figures showing the assessed valua-
ton of resident and nonresident
property and the remarkable growth
of the latter over period of thirty
years, may prove enlightening. These
are the figures for Hancock county,
compiled by the State of Maine Pub
licity Bureau from the assessors re-
ports of 1892 and 1920:
