MAINTAINING NOTES.

Not many of our citizens " remarks
the Rockland Courier Gazette ARE
aware Of the fact that our representative
to the legislature, Mr.. G.. l.. Farrand. is
quite an extensive farmer, but such is the
case. In addition to his extensive bust
ness as lime manufacturer his farm
operations are by no means on a small
scale. lie owns about POO acres of land 4,
30 acres in moving and pasture. and 10
acres of wood land. He has an orchard
of 300 trees and raises on an average 100
barrels of apples annually. He cuts
about 60 tons Of hay and now owns |,
horses aud II cows. The greater por
ton of the milk produced is sold ut his
store. His moving land is kept in
excellent condition much of il being
underdrained and yielding heavy crops
He has all the modern improvements in
farm implements and every convenience
around his buildings and finds that it
pays TO keep up with the times in all the
varieties of farm work. He feeds his
stock well and gets good returns for so
doing"
In review of the advantages and
resources of Franklin county the Farm
ing Chronicle says: 1.-The agricultural
statistics of the county are not to be had ::
but the Chronicle will tell you of farms
that indicate no such decline in agricul-
ture as some would assert. Some farms
have been deserted it is true, because
they had been unwisely managed or
because they were better adapted for
pasturing or wood growing than for til
age. But the beautiful intervales of the
Sandy, Dead, Carrab2sset and Webb
rivers, with the fertile uplands afford An
inviting prospect to the man who loves
to look to Mother Earth for his yearly
income. More careful husbandry is
being practised, and the efforts made to
increase the fertility of the soil can not
fail to be rewarded. Probably no land
in Maine has the natural richness of the
Sandy river intervales, for larger crops
of sweet corn have been produced on it
than elsewhere in the State"

Calais aud St Stephen have been built
20 their present size by the great lumber
industry. Fer over century busy saws.

the St Croix, have been cutiiog the pine,

The St Croix Log Driving Company was
formed in lS47. The preseat annual

front the wharves are covered with huge
o les of lumber. and vessels are busy load
ing this lumber for Boston, New York. and
southern ports, also for the West Indies and
SOpth American ports, for nine mouths in
he year. The sswmills are mostly in thai
part OF Cslsis called Midtown, and at a
pcint 20 the river midway between Milltoun
and Calais. The equipments of the mills
are excellent although rotary and band saws
have not taken the place of gang saws quite

The St Croix system Of lakes and streams
has still vast forests of valuable lumber
within easy distance ard the lumber indus

The establishment of puip mills on this

Los Angeles herald., 1890-07-15
WE SHOULD BEAT THE RECORD.

There is every indication that the pri-
maries, which will take place Saturday
next, will excite an interest never here
tofore developed in Los Angeles county.
A number of circumstances combine to
produce this result. In the first place,
the Democracy of Los Angeles county
have followed the initiative of their
the new and taking proposition that the
senators of the United States should
be elected by the people; and
that, until this radical change in
our institutions shall take place,
the people should at least have some
say in the designation of those who rep
resent them in the upper house of con-
gress. Following out this idea, the
people have indicated the Hon. Stephen
M. White as their choice for United
States senator, to fill the vacancy which
will be created by the retirement of
Hon. Leland Stanford. This suggestion
has been followed by the enthusiastic
endorsement of Mr.. Whites friends in
1C6AO d1O OGhCl COuhClObs 1hClC IL llO
coercion in this matter. As to Southern
California, at least, there is apractical
unanimity as to Mr.. Whites candidacy
for the United States senate. This distin-
guished Democrat and local favorite is
therefore entitled to have his cause
championed by the strongest and most
influential delegation that can be sent
from this county. Of course, our con-
Germ in the other details of contest
which is destined to be memorable is as
great as that Of any other county. There
are other distinguished citizens OF Los
Angeles county who may be mentioned
for positions on the state ticket.
There is, in addition, the desire
to assist, without selfish ends, in the
formulation of the ticket and the plat
form which, we feel convinced, will be
noted in history as electrically respon-
sive to the popular demand, and which
will be elected from top to bottom. The
delegation from Los Angeles county to
the state convention of 1886, which
nominated Bartlett for governor was
noted for it's splendid personnel and in
tellectual impressiveness. We ought to
improve on the record this year.
