Mill Badly Charred at West Paris.
ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1 /

West Paris, June a1.-H. G. Brown &
Sons factory took fire at S.15 a. m and
had it not been for the fire engine in the
boiler room would have been entirely con-
suned. AS it was half of the mill was
burned to a charcoal.
At this writing the mill is out of
danger and plenty of men are at work
watching for any new outbreaks. The
loss is quite heavy.
Murch credit is due the bucket brigade
for their efficient work during the fire
What West Paris needs most is a fire
engine, for if a dwelling should get a fire
there is no protection except water pals
This is the second time this mill has
taken Are since Brown & Sons have had
the management, and we think they have
been quite fortunate in having apparatus
sufficient to eXtinguish them.

Good Work In Indiana.

The building of good roads should lie
done by the people directly benefited by
the improvements and wholly interested
in the cost and care. For several years
we have been operating in this state
under law providing for the construc-
ton of free gravel and macadamized
roads. Where the material for this is
resdlly accessible such roads have been
rapidly built until now in such sections
Of our state all the principal roads are
graveled, and the people are turning
their attention to the byroads or less
important ones l believe these roads
will receive more care, greater pro-
prietary interest being felt, from the
people who were taxed for their con-
struction. Governor Matthews Of In.

Wide ver.u. Narrow Wheel Tires.

On hard roads the wide tire is not SO
obviously important, yet we believe that
there is no road or pavement so well
made but that it's life would be pro-
longed by improved rolling stock, says
Good Roads.
Soft roads. e., those made on sand
or loam-are never, except when frozen,
able to stand narrow tires. If the farm
ers and others engaged in teaming
were asked to increase the width Of
wheel tires simply to save the roads. it
would be greatly to the teamster' in
terest to do it, though the reason might
not always be apparent to the man who
wants to see immediate results.
The fact is, however, that the wide
tire, unlike majority of investments,
begins paying dividends the first day.
The farmer who could with difficulty
get out of his potato patch yesterday
with 20 bushels can today with the new
tires haul at least 40 bushels, and if TIE
road to town is like the average country
road the same ratio will hold good OIL
that trip, so that, important as Is the
benefit to the road, the benefit to the
farmer who benefits the roads is even
