A Season of Promise

There has never been a time when eve y
thing looked as promising in ARGOS took as
at the present time. The season, all
things considered, was the best for the
work of putting in crops that the county
has known for years. Last fall was also,
fortunately favorable for farm work, and
as a result an immense acreage was
ploughed and made ready for spring work,
and all this big area, planted and sown
this spring under the most favorable con
ditions, is now sprouting into veriure IN
der the influence of timely and abundant
moisture.
The grass fields in particular are in fine
condition and after the denuded and ster-
lie meadows of the past two years, the
thrift and abundance of the present sea
son is doubly satisfying and agreeable to
the eye.
There is a very big plant of potatoes,
and they are reported to be starting finely
The grain fields, VIII ich embrace a very
large percentage of wheat, are also com
ing up rank and lusty.
The conclusion that any one must nat
urally draw from the prospero's picture
every Aroostook landscape now presents
that if the season is continued as it has
begun through the summer and into har-
vest time, it must bring back to Aroostook
all its old time thrift.
Every condition is ripe for such a con
summation. In the past two years of in
different crops and markets there has been
a marked gain, and in almost every sec
ton the farmers are prepared to profit by
a good year, such as the present appears
to be.
Unless all indications are very delusive
the Aroostook farmer has now his oppor
tunity to regain what he has lost, and If
he will but unite economy and good man
agement to what bountiful season brings
him, we shall soon be upon firm footing
and when once there let us hold our ground
by careful avoidance of the reckless mis-
management which brought about the
present depre ssion. tPresque Isle Star

thankful for their deliverance. On the

some Il miles. Here we shall remain
and build our boats. We have our lllm-

good old friend Terry Owen could have
been in the bushes and watched our first
attempt at whip saving he would have en-
joyed it hugely. our efforts to follow the
line on the log were like those of a drunken
man trying to walk a crack. 1t was rather
discouraging the first few days. But we
still persevered and at last struck the
right clip. Before we got through we
could run the line nicely and do good
work Most of the people here think the
ice will break up by May Goth, and we
hope to be able and all ready to move
the first chance. The Lake is about y
miles long and three fourths of mile
wide, with high mountains on both sides.
1t must be beautiful here in summer,
the Lake is so narrow, with such high
mountains. Looking down the Lake re-
minds one of looking through a tunnel, as

fine singing. Mr.. Goodwin is taking his
turn at cooking this week. This is his
first attempt, ard with some Instructions
from Capt. E. S. Mcdonald he is doing
well. He is a dear lover of mice, not as
food, but enjoys their company very
much. If one should come within
ten feet of him he would be on top of a
box or stove in second. We have
number around our tent and they show
themselves quite often, to the delight of
Otis, and occasionally run over his face
during the night. Then you ought to hear
him sing out blue murder. l think he

New York Herald With conuite
heart the nation should confess its graft
tude for the progress so far made in the
war. Even the friendliest critics had no
reason to predict a situation so favorable
at this stage of the campaign, for, knowing
our condit on and its causes, they failed
to reckon with the luck which has opposed
an enemy that has proved to be more I'M
prepared and impotent than ourselves.
When the appalling unreadiness with
which we entered into the conflict is con
sidered the escape from grave disaster
must therefore be credited less to our de-
serts than TO our good fortune, and happy
indeed is it that the opponent is Spain and
not a great war Power.

The season thus far has been very fav-
orable for farmers, and much larger
acreage has been plauted than usual. Bet
ter weather in which to plant and sow
could not be desired, and those who did
not avail themselves of the opportunity
must regret it. The succeeding rains have
favored termination and ensured good
hay crop. Fruit trees of all kinds have
blossomed profusely and the apple crop
must be large. The continued low price
of hay, which 50 many Maine farmers
have relied upon as their cash crop, must
lead to a change in operations and already
there is all increased interest in dairying.
There is no profit in hay at current rates,
and it is increasingly evident that it must
be consumed on the farm and marketed as
cream and butter. Those who do not care
to engage in butter making will find cash
market for their cream at the creameries.

Missed Him

City Marshal Joe Knight went to a
house near the old Masonic building
on the cast side last night, shortly
after midnight, to arrest whisky
peddler named CLANCY, who has been
carrying whisky in from Chetopa once
or twice a week and selling it out
around town. The officers went and
made the arrest, but CLANCY, who is a
negro, after putting on his clothes,
was hunting around for his shoes, sud-
denly jumped upon table and escaped
through sliding window. Three
shots were fired at him as he ran
away, but none, it is thought, took
effect. He will probably not peddle
any more liquor in this town for a
while.

TOWN OF pooH-BAHs.
Every One in 1t Is an officer and
Every One of Them Is
in Trouble.

The town of Chesilhurst, which is In
Camden county, N. j., contains only
30 voters, yet it has city government,
with mayor, board of aldermen, tax
collectors, police justice, constable,
city treasurer, comptroller, Jail keeper
and all the rest of it. 1t is comic
opera town, and just now the entire
city government is in all sorts of dis
grace.
Three of the five aldermen are under
bonds to appear before the next grand
jury to answer to the charge of mis-
demeanor in Office in making appropri-
atiops of funds which had no existence
in the city treasury. The charge was
made against them by Mayor Heacock,
who gave them hearing before him
self, giving testimony against them.
To get even with the mayor the three
aldermen forced him to issue warrant
for his own arrest on the charge of not
paying his personal taxes, which
amounted to S4.O1.
7 am innocent" said the mayor,
"but l commit myself to the custody of
Constable Bates for further hearing"
Under the law the constable has pow
er to sell the mayors personal effects.
If they do not realize $4.O1 he can put
the mayor in jail till he pays the
amount. But as his honor has the ap-
pointment of the constable, Bates is
afraid to make any move against him.
knowing that if he started TO the Jail
with the mayor he would be removed
from office on the way there. So the
three bellicose aldermen have preferred
charges against Bates for malfeasance
in office in not arresting Heacock. The
mayor is considering the charges.
At the hearing of the cases there is
never any audience, the entire popula-
ton of the town being present in some
official capacity. Every one has an of
flee, and several persons have three or
four.
The aldermen threaten to ask the |
governor of New Jersey to call out the |
state troops to make Che mayor behave.
The mayor himself has been in close
consultation with the sheriff of the |
county with view to having martial |
law declared. Chicago journal.

There is a chance of Miami missing

springs term was put off on account
of high water, and the government
refused to pay for the use of the house,
after engaging it. Now the owner
insists that they pay two prices for
the present term or not use it. There
is no good reason the government
should not deal with an individual
just as fairly as one individual is re-
quired by the law to deal with
