The Camden CucumberS.

Yesterday afternoon we received pleas
ant call from Mr.. Edward Foote of Boston,
the genial senior member of the firm Of Skill
ton, FoOte & Co., manufacturers of Bunker
Hill Pickles, who was in town upon BUSH
ness connected with the cucumber growers
of this vicinity.
In course of conversation, Mr.. Foote said
that the company began business thirty-two
years ago, and for many years cucumber
growing was confined to the vicinity of Bos-
ton
About four years ago, at the suggestion of
Mr. Calvin Austin of the B. & B. S. S. Co,
Mr.. Foote decided to try contracting with
Camden farmers. The first year it was tried +,
only three acres were devoted to the cucum-
bers by our farmers, but after learning what
profitable business it could be made, the
industry steadily grew until now seventy
five acres of ground are used by the farmers
hereabouts solely in cutivating cucumbers
Frank 5. Sherman has represented Skilton,
Foote < Co., in contracting and has done
we'll for all concerned
1t has been 80 successfully demonstrated
that cucumbers will grow and flourish we'll
here, that now Mr.. Foote is DESTROYS of in
teresting our farmers in caulihower culture.
The firm has great demand for the succu-
lent vegetable, but has had considera BILE
difficulty in supplying it He says that with
out exception the cucunbers shipped from
here are tirmer and better than others re-
ceived. Camden Herald.

FISH AND GAME. The U. S. fish com
mission car has been at work dis
tributing young fry, taken from the
Craigs brook hatchery at Orland, in the
Piscataquis and Pleasant rivers, and in
various waters in Milford Mattawamkeag
and Vanceboro. The entire shipment
comprised 100000 Atlantic salmon
nearly 1000, 600 Quinnet salmon and
40, 600 steel head trout..... The fish
and game commissioners were in Piscata-
quis county last week, where they. will
gave hearings in several of the towns rea-
tive to the game laws. Reports from
Moosehead Lake are that the fishing at
that place is excellent, and that some
very large catches have been made "a
salmon weighing 20 lbs. was on exhibition
in Portland, May 18th, caught by F. l..
French of Standpoint. -. The Maine
Sportsman Fish and Game Association
has completed arrangements for its second
annual excursion, which will be to the
Rangeley lake region June II to %. A
large number of prominent people will
join the party.....A square tailed trout
weighing six pounds and nine ounces was
taken in Great Pond, Belgrade, last week.
.....A party at Moosehead lake last week
in one afternoon captured over $50 trout,
weighing from two to four pounds each...
A boatman who came down the ST. Croix,
recently, reports the schools of small her
ring very thick in places, covering the
surface of the water for long distance,
and there is little fear of the sardine sup
ply being small this year. . An effort is
being made to stock the Union river with
Columbia river salmon. The Green Lake
fish hatchery received a large lot of eggs
from the Pacific coast which were hatch
ed, The fry have been doing splendidly
1t is proposed to plant them in tributaries
of Union river, and i'll Patterns pond
stream.....A. T. Soper recently eau hit at
East Orland IA land locked salmon 80
inches long and weighing eight pounds
and six ounces. The fish made a hard
fight, it taking nearly an hour to land him.
This is the largest fish Of the kind that
has been caught in these waters and is the
result of the deposits of small fish by the
hits commission.

Insurance in Maine.

Part of the annual report for the 1896 of
Hon. S. W. Carr, Names insurance COM
missioner, will be ready for distribution
in few days. 1t shows that the amount
of fire insurance written in Maine during
the year 1896 was the largest in the his
tory of the State. 1t exceeds by more
than So, 600, 600 the business of the pre-
ceding year. 1t was placed as follows
Companies of other States and countries,
$40, 213, 315; Maine mutual companies,
So, 1874, 2S6; special brokers, 1907, 075 to-
tai, SIG, 364, 676.
These figures do not include the bust
ness of so-called ''factory'' or mill
mutuals," which have assumed enormous
proportions in Maine. The premiums re-
ceived by the companies amounted to ST.
GAP, 427 and the losses to 1888, 247.
The marine insurance in 1896 amounted
to SIS, IT, 1913, of which SIT, 5:35, $40 was
written by domestic and 81, 236, 91S by
foreign companies. The marine pre-
miums on the business of 1896 amounted
to S264, 1852. and the losses paid during the
year to S215, 924.
The fees and taxes paid the State by in
surance companies for 1896 are: Taxes, fire
and marine, SIS, $40; life, S24, 746: mis-
cellaneous, S1,376; total, S44, 1853. Eight
new companies were admitted in 1896
with total capital stock of 81, 80, 900.
Seven hundred and nine fires have been
reported to the department by municipal
officers, with loss of 81, 164, 695. OF
this, $50, 1877 is attributed to incendiarism :;
$3.50, 1913 to unknown causes, making a
total of S54S, $50. This makes total of
nearly $1,000 per capita of the State pop
ulation, an alarming fact, and one that
promises to urge municipal officers to
more extended investigation of fires.

The True Remedy.

w. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, ILL.,,
"Chief," says: "We won't keep house with
out DR.. Kings New Discovery for Consump-
ton, Coughs and Colds. Experimental
with many others, but never got the true
remedy until we used DR.. Kings New Dis
covery. No other remedy can take its place
in our home, as in it we have certain and
sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, etc" 1t is idle to experiment with
other remedies, even if they are urged on you
as just as good as DR.. Kings New Discov-
cry. They are not as good, because this
remedy has record of cures and besides is
guaranteed. 1t never fails to satisfy. Trial

With the importations of foreign goods
increasing enormously by reason of the
prospective repeal of the Wilson law, it is
not surprising that the gold exports are
increasing. The foreign goods brought
into the country must be paid for in gold,
and if foreign importations increase 10 to
20 millions a month, it goes without say
ing that the gold expectations must in
crease.

Parties who are preparing to establish
beet sugar factories will be interested in
recent step taken by the Secretary of
Agriculture in their behalf. Having sup
piled over twenty thousand farmers of
the United States with beet seed for trial
crops, secretary Wilson is now making a
practical and intelligent investigation to
determine the sections of country where
beet sugar manufacture is most likely to
be successful, the object being to assist
those who desire to invest in beet sugar
factories.

Eight and nine cents a pound duty on
first and second class woods, while it is not
as much as the rate named by the Dingley
bin when it passed the House. is just 5
and cents more than the rates of the
present Wilson law. 1t is also conceded
to be more in proportion to the general
value of woods than the rates established
by the Mckinley law, which was quite
satisfactory to the wool growers

The reciprocity feature of the new tariff
law is likely to be even more satisfactory
than that of the Mckinley law The ad-
diuou OF tea and hides to the dutiahle list
increases the opportunity for obtaining
favorable reciprocity treaties, and it is
understood that the Senate will put into
the bill such provisions as to make it
practicable to secure very advantageous
reciprocal arrangements with many coun-
tries, all of which will be specially in the
interests Of the ag1iculturists of the coun-
try.

Wool producers will recognize some
thing Of the enormous stock of foreign
woods which they will have to compete
with when the new law goes into effect by
the fact that the wool importations in
March, 1897, were 5S,0s5, 800 pounds
against II, ISL, SAT pounds in March of the
preceding year, and against only 3, 1853, Ais
pounds in the last March under the Nc
KiHley law

Republicans who think that the tariff
hill reported to the Senate is not as
thoroughly Republican as when passed by
the House must remember that the Re
publicans do not control the Senate of the
United States, and If it is necessary to
modify the Republican tariff measure to
pass it in that body, the remedy is in the
hands of the people who elect the legis-
iatures which name the members of the
next Senate.

Editorial Notes.

The activity of importers in getting
foreign goods into the country before the
new talit1 bill goes into effect is shown
10y the fact that the goods remaining in
bonded warehouses on the first of April
were valued at only 81, 12O, 6S5, against
So, 400, 325 on the corresponding date last
year.
The Republican journal., 1897-05-27

The wool growers of the country, while
they are delighted with the prospect that
they are to get protection, must not ex-
pect to feel the effects Immediately.
--latest Investigations as to the supply of
wool in stock in this country show that
the amount of foreign woods now
in the hands of the manufacturers is
sufficient for at least seven months sup
ply, and that if the present enormous i'm
portations continue, as seems probable,
they will have a full years supply
effect. This is deplorable fact, but it is
one of the numerous misfoItunes attend :
ant upon the existence of the free trade
tariff law now upon the statute books,
and until it can be gotten rid of there can
be no getting lid of its depressing effect.
If any body who wears shoes objects to
contributing cents year to the support
of the Government in view of its present
extremity under the Wilson law, now is
the time to offer that objection. The
duty on raw hides which is proposed by
the tariff bill in the Senate would prob
ably add about cents to the cost of the
foreign hides used in making the leather
which goes into a pair OF shoes, but as
only one fifth of the hides used in the
country are imported, the average in
crease in the price of shoes would only be
one fifth of that, or one cent per pair.
Assuming that the average man buys
three pairs of shoes in year, his increas-
ed tax burden would be three cents a
year, while the advantage to the farmers
will be millions of dollars.
The silver advocates are saying that the
recent expectations of gold are an evil
dence that the supply of gold in the world
is not sufficient for it's requirements. Up
on the same principle they might argue
that the expectation of wheat and corn
indicated that the world does not produce
enough of these articles for its require
rlents. The mere fact that there is a
momentary demand for gold in Europe
and Japan, because these countries de
sire to increase their stock, and because
of war possibilities, does not argue gen
eral insutficiency of gold in the world.
The quantity of gold money in the world
iu 1873 was 81, 200, 500, 900, while in 1896
it was S3,69S, 100000. The supply Of
gold money in the world is now so pei
cent. greater than was the gold and silver
combined in 1873.

Friends Heard From.

The Mrs. Mckenzie mentioned in the
following, clipped from a California
paper, formerly resided in DeLamar.
We are sorry to hear such news, but
pleased to state that later advices re-
ceived by friend here, reports her re-
recovery:
Thursday afternoon at Quartz Noun
tain, the wives and children of r. l..
Mckenzie, j. E. West and P. Black,
came near dying from drinking poison
ed buttermilk.
The buttermilk had been put in gal
vanized iron bucket and in passing
through its different stages the acid in
the milk, coming in contact with the
zinc, formed deadly poison. The
ladies and children drank considerable
of the fluid and we're shortly afterwards
taken with spasms. Physicians were
Immediately summoned and despaired
for time of the lives of Mrs. McKen-
zie and Mrs. West. Last evening Mrs.
West was reported out of danger. The
doctor has hopes of the recovery of
Mrs. Mckenzie, although she is in a
precarious condition. The children
drank very little of the poisoned milk,
thus escaping death.

The former home of the late Ed
Wood was at Honesdale, Pa. The
Honesdale Herald copied the account
from the NUGGET of the shooting, and
in an editorial has the following to say
respecting him:
"The deceased was known here as a
brave, kind hearted and amiably dis
posed person, and in all respects an
exceedingly attractive and lovable
young man. Among his other marked
traits was great love for adventure,
and at an early age he turned his atten-
ton to the great western field of coun-
try for it. He was by no means a
friendless person. His father is an ex-
burgess of our town; his brother-in-l law
is President of our largest banking in
stitution; two of his cousins here are at
the head of one of our largest glass
cutting establishments; another is an
ex-congressman; another is an ex-
President of the Tide Water Line Co.;
an uncle is one of the most uoted evan
gelists in the land. The author of this
horrible taking off will be fully pun
ished, not so much for vengsnce as
from a conviction that men such as he
are better dead that alive.
