Last week. we failed to notice the death
of James Moore of Reeder township,
who passed away the latter part of the
previous week, at a ripe old age. "Uncle
Jimmy" as he was Familiarity called, was
an old resident of Anderson county, and
had wide acquaintance and host of
friends. He was broom-maker by
trade, and found ready safe for his
brooms, which he brought to Garnett
Yearly every week. ''Unclc Jimmy had
been sick but few days, and his death
was surprise. He had been in Garrett
only the week before his death. He was
thoroughly honest in all his dealings,
and enjoyed the respect and confidence
of all with whom he cslne in contact.
He leaves a wife and several step-sons'
one of whom is Harry H. Bolson. Our
sympathy goes out to the bereaved
family.

A BIG PROJECT.
Immense Cattle Ranch to Be
Established in Maine.
$4,000 Acres Secured in Washington
County for Starter.
Abandoned Farms TO Be Restocked and Ar
other Boom Is Promised.

Ellsworth, Me, Sept. 20-A project
Of Importance, which has for its object
the making of Maine a beef. pork and
mutton raising state, has advanced to
such point that its promoters already
look upon it as assured In brief ii is
proposed to establish an immense
stock farm or ranch. which will be
stock With cattle, sheep and swine. For
this purpose. "a 900 acres of land in
Washington county has been secured.
This land lies in the towns of Cher
ryticld. Deblois. Columbia and Town
ship No. is, and embraces an extensive
plain of high table land from 800 to 400
feet above the sea level. There is III
the tract one plot of 10000 acres on
which there is not a rock or a tree and
the whole piece can be cultivated with
a steam gang ploW such as is used in
the West. The soil is a mixture of
clay ard loan. Where it has been cul-
tivated, it has proven very productive.
What first attracted cattlemen to the
place as favorable, for cattle raising,
was a species of winter grass which
Will afford grazing for cattle early in
April. or two months earlier than on
the Maine sea coast. This grass is
found in quantity in no other part Of
Maine. There is also in the tract 30
miles Of streams. which would furnish
an abundance of water for stock The
work of stocking the ranch will begin
as soon as possible. ana within three
years, say the projectors. there viii be
10000 head of cattle on this ranch.
But the plan does not stop here. 1t
is proposed also to redeem the aban-
doned and impoverished farms Of
Maine ana from the Washington coun-
" ranch stock as many of them as will
support cattle. When the owner Of one
Of these farms cannot afford to pay,
the farm will be stocked by the cattle
men and pay taken in cattle raised.
United States Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wilson. who has devoted much
time to the study Of the Abandoned
farms Of New England. has given this
project his endorsement and viii soon
send commissioner to Maine to make
an inspection Of some Of the farms and
report as to the adaptability Of the soil
to stock raising purposes. Some work
in this direction has already been done
and the reports We're favorable.
The men interested il the project are
New York ana Western capitalists now
interested in cattle raising in the West.
They have an abundance of capital at
their command. 1t is not proposed TO
establish competition with Western cat
tie but rather to create a producing sta
ton nearer the Eastern markets.
