The Town accepted, the road was built for my by the Mount Desert Nurseries and opened to use in the Spring of 1900. This road, opening up for the first time the Great Meadow basin, made a beautiful, quiet drive for use with horses. The meadow, its drainage blocked by the silting up of the brookbed, was a bog, with wild cranberries, growing said swamp grass on its eastern side which turned to beautiful color in the later season, while on its western side, embayed by extensions of the forest onto it, grow swamp-loving Rhodora, forming brilliant sheets of color every spring, mingled with Labrador Tea and similar wild plants of the northern bogs. Road construction requirements were simple in those horse-driving days. I drained the road-bed well and graded it, using such material as I found along the way, and the Town has never had occasion since to make expenditure upon it, other than on surfacing it for motor use. Fifteen years later, when motor care had come in use, I built, owning then the land, a road around the Needow's southern end, continuing my earlier road, so that people eoming from Seal Harbor or beyond might take this shorter, better route to reach the Building of Arts for concerts, flower shows and the like, the Kebo Valley Golf Club with its nine-hole course, or SUMMOR residences om Bar Barbor's western side. ia30 When, in 1930, Mr. Rocksfeller, having acquired the land on the Island's ocean front from Sand Beach to Hunter's Brook, asked the Town if it would surrender to the Government its Ocean Drive that he might recon- struct it and extend it as a Park road to Hunter's Brook, and the Town agreed, he included in his offer a road connecting the Cadillae Mountain road at Great Pond hill with this ocean drive. 3. His offer accepted he brought from New York to make a plan for this connection surveyors who worked the whole season through. But the result was not a happy one, limited as the survey was to lande the Park already owned, for there was no opportunity for good connection through the Gorge. The route proposed in this plan was through the deep, narrow out between the mountains which continues southward till it passes beneath the sea at Otter Creek, midway on the Park's extended coean drive, not at its beginning. Where the Gorge commences on the north there is searee room for the County Road to pass be- tween Picket Mountain and the Tarn; beyond the Tarn the only course a apparate Park road could take would be at the mountain foot through continuous woods and over a difficult terrain till the Homans pasture-land is reached on the mountain's eastern side, a route with- out interest throughout. Two of the principal foot-trails on the Island, one of them a memorial path which the Government took over with the obligation to maintain it when the Park was created, the other of historic interest, going back to earliest settler days, would have been ruined by the now road. 4. As soon as the survey map showing the projected road, sent from Washington, was exhibited by instruction on the Park Office Wall, a storm of criticism and attack broke loose and I, who had had nothing whatever to do with the preparation of the plan, was held respon- sible.

Epp, Ph.D. University Library Director Southern New Hampshire University Manchester, NH 03106 Dear Dr. Epp: Enclosed is a copy of the letter Carl Schenck wrote to George Dorr in 1899. It doesn't appear that we have Dorr's letter that Schenck refers to. It sounds as if Dorr is looking for employment as a forester. Was he of European descent? There is no charge for these two pages.

Mr. Dorr, My Dear Sir: Knouse my answering your note of March the second, which has. just reached rie, in the language which is not more handy to me but the only one at the command of my stenographer. J. hope you will find some one to translate this letter. Forestry in America has been introduced on a few private estates. These private individuals do care for forestry only as far as it yields higher returns than any other method to which the land may be used, and as a rule, forest destruction or rapid lumbering in found more reminerative than conservative cutting; consequently these gentlemen do not employ any educated forestons, because they do not need them. What they need are thorough lunbernen, business men well acqueinted with the American lumber trade. Besides, forestry is beginning to be established in foreste controlled by the Governments of the U. S. and of the various states of the union. All of theno states, as a matter of fact, cannot employ any one except native Americans; consequently there in no opening in state forestry for Europeans. on the other hand, as stated above, private individuals will not need educated forestors at the present time. Thus I am afraid there is no place for you open in the U. S. now. My personal position is unique, Mr. Vanderbilt differing in hic views from the other owners of large forest estatos. Ever minor I have been in this country I have tried hard to forget what I had pg.20ft 466 2 - learned through hard study at German forent universities. European forestry is not directly applicable to American forests unlean are introduce European economic conditions it! the came time. Very truly, mail A. [C.A Schenek] Biltnore, N. C. March 13, 1899. Mr. Chas. MoNamen, Samuel G. Ward to Mary G. W. Dorr * 1608 K St. N. 11 May 199 Dear Mary: Looking over old letters of Martha's which I find very interesting, it occurred to me that you would be glad to have a copy of the drawing of her (Cheney's is it not?) & I asked Miss Angier to try it with her Kodak. I send you the result. To me it is even better than the original, be- ing a little darker in the shadows it has more force & I Beaut's think more likeness. I also send Miss sketch of me. Parent? I do not recognize myself in it. It looks more like a Spanish cardinal in old time, but as Miss B. said with a sigh after finishing it "I begin to see Mr Ward that you are a complex person 1" I told her it was too bad she had not time to go round to the other side of me and do another. Also, in the same parcel you will find a photo by Miss Angier of one of my many sketches. She has done several & as I never learned to etch & as photography is so easy (when another person does it.) it is interesting to see your own ideas in a light & free translation. I do not know whether AI this will find you at B. Harbor or 18 , but wherever you are, I hope you are well, & enjoying the spring. I am down (which is the cause of my pencil) with one of my usual conjestions, but hope to be well in a day or two. Anna sends love with mine to you & George. Affectionately, Beaut thaustier S. G. W.

The copy you send would answer all my purposes for making a typewritten one, but what you say about the original in Book form "with a good many other family papers" makes me curious to see that also as I may find other things of inter- est I may wish to have copied to add to my own collections of memoranda. Don't fail to have anything you send register- ed. I enclose herewith several of Miss Angier's late photographs which we think are an advance on the earlier ones. They are mounted on pages like the book I sent you SO you can add them to the book by simply untying the string. I 3 also send a little volume of Emerson's tales which I thought (?) of too much interest not to be published. I said nothing about it at the time of publication to anyone, so that it's connection with me might not get into the newspapers & re- porters be calling on me for my photo and a short account of my life !

The work of Miss Beatrix Jones as a landscape gardener Is Interesting. The daughter of Mrs. Cadwalader Jones of New York, she belongs in a social circle from which the workers of the world do not so often come, because there is not the incentive of necessity, which has so much to do with many accomplishments. This is especially so with women, and Miss Jones's work is particularly noteworthy because it is the result of an inborn talent which has been developed by hard study, and which has brought her to the top of her profes- sion. Many things have been said about her work from time to time, some of them true, and many of them not. To begin at the beginning of the story, she began to show when a very small girl a decided fondness for the great world of outdoors and nature in forms. She had an excellent chance to study it at the Summer home of the family at Bar Harbor. She was interested in everything about the place, and if a tree were to be moved she t119/3. was always an interested spectator. Her fondness for these things began to bear the nature of a talent, and it was developed for that a talent for music would have been the same reason and in the same way if for she had shown a particular aptitude along the line of nature studies, and it that art. Her reading was directed without knowing it. was in that way that she began her studies there It was at rather a fortunate time, when was developing country. and the landscape gardener of the was a revolt from the chromo period sufficiently laborers weil to do to engage his from a retired gardener, into and Persian carpets of follage beds and to lay out diamond coleus own who Is Harvard, the authority upon Sar- gent a of clever artist.

The rest of the work goes on ac- cording to the location and the various conditions of climate and natural condi- tions. The aim is to make the most of the natural conditions and to improve them ac- cording to natural laws. There Is nothing incongruous put into a garden by a culti- vated landscape gardener-nothin that would not be put on to a canvas by a clever painter in making a good picture. The days are past when it is considered a triumph of art to put a brilllant tropica: shrub with a northern evergreen tree for a background. It Is not true to nature. The artist gardener and the artist in paints have the same talent, the ability to see the truth in nature and to reproduce it. One of M'ss Jones's recent achievements has been the estate of Edgar Scott. son of the late Thomas A. Scott. at Bar Harbor, where she drained a swamp covered with growth of birch and alder and made the place at once sanitary and beautiful. There was a consultation between Wadsworth Longfellow, the architect, the gardeuer, and the owner. Miss Jones's own home nt Bar Harbor is charming, the grounds running down to the water's edge. and the gardens filled with perennial flowers. There was a terrace put on the estate of Mr. Garrison at Tuxedo, and there is a formal garden to be made for Mr. Percival Chubb at his Summer home on Long Island. The work is not made up entirely of large under- takings. In some places there are old gardens which the owners feel can be im- proved. Old places are purchased, and the grounds do not suit the new proprietors. Some of the smaller pieces of work are quite as interesting as the large. One in- teresting piece of work was the laying out of a plot of land on the outskirts of Green- wich. Conn. The town is gradually grow- ing up to the land, and when it overspreads it it will net be after the fashion of the cow pastures of Boston or a New Eng- land mill village, for the whole large plot is properly laid out according to the latest and best ideas of road architecture and Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.
