Two hundred feet of the new roadbed
of the Sebasticook & Moosehead railroad
near Rock Dundee in this town has sunk
from sight and now is Is feet under
water. This piece of road was built
across bog and the uncertain condi-
ton of the soil was the cause of the
sinking of the road. If the track does
not continue to sink, the damage to
the road will be repaired in short time
as many men are at work at both ends
filling up the place.
The Railroad Commissioners met here
Monday. Mr.. Z. d. Lancaster, presi-
dent of the Sebasticook & Moosehead,
said he was DESTROYS of having the road
built to Harmony village, and that if the
citizens would raise $500 in addition to
the $500 voted by the town the railroad
company would look after the land
damages. This amount was afterwards
made $1,000. The committee succeeded
in getting 500 pledged and felt sure
that they could secure the rest of the
sum at once. The citizens of Yelling
ton are anxious to have the road come
to their town instead of Cambridge, a
project which will receive the support of
the plantation of Brighton.

Best Spraying Mixture.

OF numerous solution powders that
have been tested to determine their
value as personalities of fungus, para
sites, ETC., none has been found which
fills so many requirements as bordeaux
mixture and the ammoniaoal solution

rations bordeaux mixture has long been
recognized as possessing the most valu-
able qualities, and it is probably more
generally used today than all other
fungicides combined

have plenty of hot water, and that can be had
in one of these Ranges, although some are in

need not fear, for water will boil in the tank all
right. II our stove continues to work as it now
does, we would not part with it for twice. the
