Aroostook Starch Factories.

The Arcostook starch factories have closed
up their fall business, having made more
starch than ever before in one year. We hear
various estimates of the amount made in all
the factories, of from 5000 to 10000 tons.
tt ere are said to be twenty-five starch facto-
ries in Aroostook, and if they in all have made
10000 tons, at the ruling price of starch at this
time in Boston, 800 per ton, it will amount to
100000, five-ninths of which, or 100000, has
been paid to the poor man for potatoes. The
margin, 100000, is the cost of manufacturing,
for casks, transportation, insurance, commits
sion for selling and profit. On the whole, the
profit of the farmer in raising the potatoes is
quite as large as that of the manufacturer.
One manufacturer who had his potatoes con-
tracted for at % cts. per busheI, after he had
taken in all he had agreed to take at that
price, refused to pay over 10 cts. per bushel for
more Before he had commenced upon the
making, he offered to pay $4,000 to any man
who would take the years operation off Of his

THE CONSPIRACY.
Some Democratic Frauds Shown up.
From the Machias Republican,

From the Machias Republican,
Last week we remarked in an article on this
subject that it was allege that Pillsbury had
had free access to the returns ever since they
have been in Augusta, and that Democra tic
towns where errors had occurred had been
recently notified and blanks had been furnish
cd for corrected returns so far as Democratic
votes were concerned, and that this had been
DONE This was piece of villainy hard to
believe, but its truth was alleged nevertheless.
We now have positive proof at hand of no less
than four cases of the kind in this county. In
Jonesboro, within two weeks, false return
has been made and forwarded to Augusta.
The active agent in this case was Geo. w.
Drisko, the great fraud skrieker of the
Machias Union; the same man who Stimulates
such horror of frauds in general, and Repub-
lican frauds in particular.
fraudulent business, is next heard of at Addl-
son, where he attempted to have the returns
"doctored," but was frustrated in his
nefarious scheme. 1t should be borne in
mind that the Governor and Council had en-
tered into this conspiracy, concocted by Pills
bury, to take advantage of the errors and
mistakes of careless town officers, and the
Immaculate editor of the Union was acting as
the willing tool of the base clique at Augusta.
Dare the editor of the Union deny that he
was at Jonesboro and Addison for the purpose
e OF getting the returns Of those towns doctor
We have heard also of e. X. Smart, Esq, of
Pembroke, the defeated candidate for County
Attorney, in the town of Marion "doctoring"
the returns in that town. In Whiting, also.
the same game has been played. And yet the
fusionsts will continue to howl and cry fraud
louder than ever.

The Oxford Democrats Andover correspon-
dent says should the winter prove favorable,
more logging will be done the present winter
than before in any winter. Wages range
from ten to twenty dollars per month.
Business in the Norway shoe factory is look
ing up. More shoes will probably be made
there this winter than ever before. An adj
ditional bottoming room has been fitted up,
under the charge of Mr. William Elliott and
and many new men are being edu Gated in the
various wrinkles of shoemaking.
Cyrus A. Packard, Esq, of Blanchard, has
sold tract of land Of one thousand acres in
that town, upon which are valuable deposits
of roofing states, within one mile of the B. &
P. R. r. depot, to parties in Bangor, who will
carry on an extensive operation in slate quar-
rying. Work was commenced Monday by
VIM. G. Jones of Monson, with a crew of
men. There are several nndeveloped quarries
of excellent slate on this tract, and large and
su ccessful business will doubtless be establish
ed there. 1t is now very evident that the
Monson quarries will do a more extensive
business another year than ever before. Slate
stocks are selling better in Boston and other
places than they have before since the quarries
were first opened. The prospect for selling
Piscataquis roofing slate next year is bri ghten-
ing eyery day.

Railroad Extension,

The building of the New Brunswick railroad
to Presque Isle seems at last to be assured. In
stead of being built from Caribou to that place,
as formerly contemplated, it will branch from
the New Brunswick Railway, seven miles
above Fort Fairfield, and be made direct to
the village, saving the building of four miles
of new road, and shorten the distance nine
miles from Fort Fairfield to Presque Isle.
Mr.. Gibson, president of the New Bruins
wick Railway, guarantees the making of the
of December, 1880. The town of Presque Isle
voted, on Thursday last, to pay him nine thous-
and dollars Maysville, on the same day, re-
fused to vote the six thousand dollars as her
portion Of the subsidy to the road, two votes
being wanted to make the required two thirds.
Another town meeting, however, has been
called in that town, and no doubt the requisite
two-thirds of the votes will be given.

Last week Kenpall S. Junkins of Hodgdon
had horse killed in the woods by a falling
tree.
1t is supposed that there will be large
amount of smuggling done this winter from
the border American towns into the Domin-
ion. AS the duties are so high it seems to be
quite an object to avoid the duty on many
places very much.
Potatoes are worth from 80 to 50 cents per
barrel at Houlton; oats from 40 to 40. Less oats
and more wheat was raised last year in this vi
