FARM TAXATION.
Maine Board or gricuIture Discusses the
Subject.

Maine Board of fsSiculture Discusses the
Subject.
The question before the meeting of the
Maine Board of Agriculture at Augusta Jan.
10 was the subject of farm property. The
secretary of the board, Hon. G. A. Gilbert,
set the ball rolling by giving an address on
E'Shrinkage of Value in Farm Real Estate y
The Valuation Commissioners and the board
were present. Mr.. Gilbert was well aware
that there had been a shrinkage in farm lands
and their attachments going on for some time
in the State and in New England, and it had
now reached an extent truely alarming. He
gave as reason for this the inflated values
after the war, the Western craze and dis
elimination against farm property in
taxation. AS remedies he suggested
First, that money must be kept at home,
and in the town where it is made; sec
ond, investment in farm enterprises must be
promoted; third, agriculture must be fostered
| by the State; fourth. the discrimination in
taxation must be revised fifth, public senti-
ment must be corrected; sixth, home advaD-
| tages must be written up, talked up, taught
up and posted up, and Western bubbles
blown; seventh, capitalists must seek invest
ments in our own State.
A discussion participated in by members of
| the board and visitors, followed, the general
idea being that the farms of Maine were taxed
| too high, and committee was appointed to
| further examine the question and report sug-
gestions for the consideration of the Valua-
| ton Commission.

WALKER BLAINE DEAD,
La Grippe Carries Off the Secretary of
States Son.
Greatly Relied on BY His Father-Promis-
ing Career Cut Short.

Mr.. Walker Blaine, the Oldest son of Hon.
James q. Blaine, died at his fathers resi-
dence in Washington at $50 in the evening.
Jan. 10, OF pneumonia, as the result of Ia
grippe. The result was not unexpected to
the doctors, VINO, at their consultation in the
afternoon, saw no way TO check the disease
During the latter part of the afternoon
there seemed to be slight Improvement in
the sick mans condition, and when, at 7.3O
President Harrison called to make inouiries
he was told that the situation was more hope
ful. An hour later and the President called
again, and by that time Walker Blaine had
been dead ten minutes.
DIR. G. l.. Magruder and DR.. Joseph Tabor
johnson were in consultation shortly after s
o'clock, and they noticed sudden change for
the worse. The family were notified, and
they all assembled around the bedside The
dying man was delirious, and his death was
almost without premOnition. The immediate
cause, said the doctors, was pulmonary etfu-
sion.
Walker Blaine was born-at Augusta. Me-.
III The Old homestead of the Blafne family
He was the eldest son. He spent nearly all
OF his life in Washington, having been with
his parents most of the time when he was
not in college. He was a graduate of Yale,
and obtained honOrs there. Soon after
graduation he went to Washington, where
he lived for many years. The only official
positions he had ever held were Third As
sistant Secretary of State, when his father
field; assistant counsel for the United States
before the Court of Alabama Claims, and En-
aminer of Claims for the State Department,
the position which he held at the time of his
death. After the Alabama Claims Court ex-
pired by limitation Of law, Mr.. Walker Blaine
spent one year in St. Paul and subsequently,
one year in Chicago in the practice
of law. He was relied upon by the
Secretary of State to relieve him of
many of the burdens of his great office and
the title of the position which he held bv no
means adequately conveyed an idea of the
importance of his duties. His death is a Sc
we're blow to his father. who relied so much
upon him, and TO whom he was SO constant a
companion, and it is unnecessary to say that
the entire family are overcome with the great
sorrow.
The death of Walker Blaine caused deer
sorrow among his many friends and acquaint-
anees in Augusta, Ne. His many excellent
qualities of mind and character, his courteous
and gentlemanly ways, made HIM favorite
in every circle and among the citizens. That
he was dangerously i'll of pneumonia and
consultation of physicians had been called
were the first tidings; then he was sinking
and quickly came the final information of hi:
death. kilograms of coincidence were for
warded by Gov. Burleigh, Hon. j. III. Manley
Major o. E. Michaelis, Command mt of the
kennebec Arsenal, Hon. j. Manchester
HAYNES and Mr.. Charles B. Caldwell, the lat
ter q relative of the family.
