forward to by some of our farmers,
that is, cheese factory.
In order to start one from two
hundred to three hundred cows must
be guaranteed. Part of these have
already been promised. John B.
Storie, who recently moved onto the
Simeon Thomas farm, is familiar
with the subject and proposes soon
to call on the farmers of West Wood
stock and vicinity and show them
that there is money to be made in
making cheese. An effort will be
made to have a cheese factory !ocat-

The Flood Of Sunday, April l4-.Great.
est Since 1859.

The south part of the town had
hardly recovered from the storm of
Wednesday of last week when on
Saturday morning another rain storm
set IN which continued almost stead
lily until about 3 a. m. Monday
morning. The rainfall in that time
is estimated at about two and one
fourth inches, the total precipitation
for the week beng about five inches.
Saturday night the river and South
Branch began to rise rapidly. 1t
was a warm rain, and the immense
amount of melting snow on the hills
ted the rising streams until on Sun
day morning they were far out OF
their banks and still booming. The
loWIands everywhere were soon
swept b, the waters; every unpro-
tected meadow was turned into a
lake.
The residents Of Court street were
the worst sufferers, there being little
damage done elsewhere in the vii
lage. Houses along the stream were
surrounded and cellars filled. the
water setting back beyond the Inn
stable upon the lawn in the rear of
the Inn, and with a few inches more
rise would have poured into the
cellar. "A swift current swept under
the store houses in the rear of
Phoenix block, the water reaching
the alley way between that and the
Mclaughlin block, and all through
that section 1t was anywhere from
IL to "a inches in depth. The base
ments in Phoenix block were nearly
all Hooded to a depth of several
inches. The high water mark of
'69, however, was far out of reach.

Since Jan. the price of Kerosene
oil has advanced seven cents gallon.
Oil began to 90 up about the first of
the year, rising in price a cent at a
time. In February there was
second advance. On April s the
Standard oil company informed its
distributing agents that there was
another advance, and on April II OIL
once more went skyward. The next
advance was two cents on the 10Th,
going up one cent on the l7th, and
now dealers may expect a rise daily.
The price to local consumers is now
II cents gallon, and they are talk
ing seriously OF using candles if oil
continues to soar. A Standard Oil
official says, in accounting for the
rise in petroleum, that the consump-
ion is much greater than the supply, |
and that the demand is at least 10, 600
barrels day in excess of the output.
