Elliot Merrick (1905-1997)
No full text... Elliot Merrick, Labrador author and traveler, died on 22 April 1997, less than three weeks before his 92nd birthday. Toward the end of his life, he would joke that he was so old that he\u27d become "historical". In fact, he was one of the last surviving links with pioneer Labrador - a place that makes the present-day Labrador of jet overflights and nickel mines seem like another country. ... Elliot Merrick made no contribution to science; his trips did not result in new maps being drawn up, and he did not make any major or even minor archaeological finds. But his books about Labrador will live on to enthral future generations of readers with the magic of the North
Letter from Charles N. Elliot to John Muir, [ca.1912 ?].
No full textCharles N. ElliotArchitect325 Failing Building,Portland, Oregon,Dear Mr. Muir:I am at a loss how to adequately express my appreciation of your gift of Stickeen , which has just reached me.I would that I might in some more tangible way than words, show you how deeply your delicate kindness affects me. I have always loved your story of the little dog companion of your dangerous Alaskan adventure, and the book containing it — a gift from its writer will ever be one of my most prized possessions. As 1 have said, I wish it were possible to show my appreciation in some other way than a mere letter — but I cannot in any way give you the pleasure your act has given me, so much remain in your debt, not alone for this gift but for your good letter, your inscription in My First Summer in the Sierra and the perennial pleasure and help your writings bring to me. You see I am hopelessly in your debt.Regarding Stickeen —not alone to you is his little dog-soul immortal, but your touching tale has made him a member of that immortal animal company to which belongs Rab and His Friends , Black Beauty and others whose soul-workings have been revealed to us by sympathetic human eyes and pens.I had intended writing you for one more favor -- which I now hesitate to ask — in view of your generosity, but feel impelled ro risk troubling you, though I hope to be forgiven. I noted in a New York paper that you-had written an appreciation of Mr. E. H« Harriman, published by Doubleday, Page & Co. for distribution to public libraries only not obtainable by purchase at the bookstore or elsewhere. I had our Library obtain a copy for their shelves and have it before me as I write, but I would like a copy of my very own, not only because of its author, but also because of its subject. Mr. Harriman always seemed to me one of America\u27s real noblemen. If I could buy the book I would not ask what I do -- but, under the circumstances, may I hope that you will write the publishers to send me a copy? If there is any reason why this is not to your liking, forgive me and disregard my request.I enclose a copy of my daughter\u27s Class Poem which is an exact expression of the sweet child herself.The thoughts are all her own, and while the composition lacks artistic finish, it is interesting as the expression of a sweet, beautiful and unspoiled nature.Again thanking you and with affectionate regards,Ever faithfully yours,Charles M.

Procedural Burden and Patterns in the Monetization of Regulatory Benefits Across the Federal Regulatory State
No full textThe dataset "RIA_DATA_PUBLIC" contains information on nearly all major rules and their respective regulatory impact assessments (RIAs) between 1996–2016 (n = 713).
This dataset was compiled based on two sources of data. First, it combines the appendix tables “Summary of Agency Estimates for Final Rules” in OIRA’s annual reports to Congress for each year between 1997–2017—excluding 1999 due to data availability limitations. These tables list all major regulations from the previous year, the issuing agency’s estimates of respective cost and benefits, and an “other information” column with supplemental details that OIRA deems relevant.
Second, this dataset links the information found in the OIRA Report Appendices with information from federalregister.gov for each of these regulations. This includes the URL for the final regulation, the “List of Subjects” from the text of each of these respective regulations, and the Document Citation (FR Cite) when available. The author then coded whether each regulation was a transfer regulation, and whether–according to OIRA–the respective RIA monetized any regulatory benefits.
The dataset “SubjectTags_Monetization_PermutationTest” transforms the data from “RIA_DATA_PUBLIC” to list the total number of regulations tagged with each subject tag, based on the “List of Subjects,” that monetized or did not monetize the value of regulatory benefits in their respective RIA. This file also includes the results of a permutation test that supports identifying all subject tags associated with non-monetization and monetization of regulatory benefits, respectively, across the dataset of federal agencies’ RIAs at a high degree of statistical confidence
