SORRENTO DEVELOPMENT.
Plans of United States Building Cor.
pOration, New Owners.

The deal has just been closed
whereby the United States Building
Corporation of New York has pur-
chased approximately one thousand
acres of land, including several
hotels and buildings, as we'll as
Seward island, in Sorrento. Mr..
Dorf, president of the corporation,
states that he intends to develop
this tract on large scale.
Seward island will be developed
into large camp for boys and girls,
the two camps being about a half
mile apart. Both camps will be OF
the highest type, having large,
roomy hunks, large playground to
include baseball field and tennis
courts. which will be laid out along
modern lines, and large bathing
beach at each camp, as we'll as the
usual accommodations for boating
and canoeing. These camps Will be
conducted and managed by people
who have had years Of experience in
the conduct of such enterprises.
For the accommodation of the pa
rents of the children at these camps,
a large hotel will be erected by the
COTDOTdIlOu Ou lAO 49, OSS>S
across from the island. This hotel
will be conducted exclusively for the
use of these parents, and will not
be operated as tourists hotel. All
the Accommodations and comforts
desired in such hotels will be avail
able for it's occupants and this Is
sure to have a great appeal.
Through his experience in de-
veloping similar projects in the past,
Mr.. Dorf feels confident that this
particular part of the development
will be one of the finest of its kind
in the country since this locality
with it's wonderful climatic condi-
tions and beautiful natural loca-
tions and environment encourages
him to make this development the
best he has ever attempted.
On the mainland, one of the finest
golf courses in the country Will be
laid out. Another hotel will be
erected for the accommodation or
regular tourists, to be equipped with
tennis courts.
On another part of the mainland
will be laid out large array OF log
cabins, butt on plots of one-fourth
acre each. These cabins will be OF
the regular one-story type with
spacious living room, containing a
large open fireplace, and the usual
number of rooms for the accommo-
dation of an entire family, and are
to be available for either purchase
or rent on attractive terms. In case
Of the purchase Of one of these
cabins, the purchaser will be priv
LEGGED to have specially designed
cabin to meet his or her own de-
sires.
There will also be a large open
air salt water swimming pool avail
able for the inhabitants of this de-
velopment. 1t is also the intention
| to have available large motor boat
! for the use of those who desire to
| take short sea trips or for fishing
trips. Bar Harbor, being directly
| across from this development,
large motor boat will also be avail
able for those who may desire tc
go to that resort.

The Hancock County Farm Bureau
did MT win first nrizo in tho m n, her

did not win first prize in the member
ship campaign, but it need not be
ashamed of its standing in third place.
But this is not all. Hancock County
Farm Bureau, with a total of 1144
members to date, Is the second larg-
est Farm Bureau organization in the
State-and Hancock county Is one of
the smaller counties of the State in
farming population.
A recommendation that the in
coming legislature give serious con-
sideration to the proposal to in
crease the State gasoline tax from
three cents gallon to five cents,
with the stipulation that the addi-
tional revenue of two cents be made
available for the construction or
reconstruction of highways, was
made by members Of the State high
way commission, who appeared before
the State budget committee in Au-

"a Chamber of Commerce is an
aggregation of individuals who have
banded themselves together to work
as a unit. to do those things which
will make their community as a
unit, more convenient, economical
and satisfactory place in which to
do business and in which to live,
and to make known the facts relat-
ing thereto. James A. McKibbon,
Secretary of the Boston Chamber of
Commerce.
The republicans of Ellsworth and
Hancock county gave Arthur r.
Gould, the candidate for United
States senator, an agreeable surprise
Monday, when they turned out nearly
800 strong on stormy day for an
afternoon meeting. Mr.. Gould and
his party expected handful of the
faithful. AS this was the first of a
series of county meetings to be held
throughout the State, it was looked
upon as a pleasing augury that the
much feared Gen. Apathy was not in
command of the republican forces in
this special election. All of the
speakers emphasized the Importance
of this election, on account of the
closeness of the Senate on party lines
today. Control Of legislation for the
next two years, and its influence on
the next presidential election, might
easily hinge on the result of the
Special election in Maine.
