The State Printing.
Gardner Reporter Journal.)

Several papers have had something to
say about the State printing matter, as it
is said Portland firm has underbid the
Konncbec Journal office, which has al
ways had the contract Most of the pa
pers favor the Journal Office, as it has the
facilities, and has always done the work
well. But the Portland Press raises the
point that il the printing is to be kept at
Augusta it is unjust to ask for bids from
other parties who have a right to suppose
that they will be given the contract if
they can do it cheaper than others. We
should know more about the case if we
could see the figures of the bidders. 1t
may be that the kennebcc Journal has
been getting too much for its work, but
we do not believe it. If it has not, the
contract should not be taken away be-
cause somebody else is willing to do the
work at cost or loss. AS general
thing one can get better service from
concern that is making reasonable
profit than from one that is not. We do
not say that such would be the case in
this instance, but we should think so I'M
til we could see the figures to prove the
contrary.

There is some attempt being made by
Portland parties to take the State print
ing away from the Kenncbcc journal
office. The Journal has done the State
printing for years, is fitted especially for
it, and has always given perfect satisfac-
tion. The only place where the printing
can be done is at Augusta, and the Jour

The usual discussion is now on at Au-
gusua regarding the State printing. The
Augusta journal folks have, Mt great ex-
pensc fitted up plant especially for
this work, have done it cheaply and well,
and it would be an outrage to take it
away, even if competing firms do bid u
little lower for the job. A little delay in
getting out the necessary printing would
interrupt legislative proceedings and cost
the State thousands of dollars, and work
done at arms length, which will be tho
case if the Portland firm is awarded the
contract, necessarily means frequent de
lays. We hope the legislative committee
on printing will be pound wise.

The first objection which | have to this

Farmer Jones, whisky sprIpr.

Tho discovery of an alleged spring OF
pure rye whisky on the farm of Silas Jones,
near Smithton, Westmoreland county, has
created intense excitement among tho peo.
pie of that place. Several days ago Farmer
Jones, while digging a ditch, came upon
an old well. He struck ledge of soft sand
stone, and from creyice In Its side came
drops of whisky. To make sure of It the
farmer tasted the liquid and pronounced it
a fair quality of barleyoorn. After arraug-
ing to run the drippings into oask ne
closed up the well In order to keep the
discovery secret. Many think the whisky
comes from u storage vault of an old dis
tillery that probably stood where Jones
began digging, The oldest lnhabitant does
not remember such distillery. Barrels Of
whisky were probably buried In the hill
side and forgotten. Now that the casks
are decaying the contents are oozing out

two feet from front of runners. Bore
holes in front end of runners to hitch

knives have them thin and sharp-not
too thin, or they will turn ON the edge.

knives slant enough to cut we'll. Be
sure the knives fit closely at the inter
