New Hampshire Valuation Decreased.
The annual report of the state board of
equalization, made public at Concord this
week, shows a net decrease in the valua-
ton throughout the state of $9,252, 1924
since 1897, mostly due to a shrinkage in
savings bank deposits. The inventories
of real and personal property show an in
crease of $1,226,997. Insurance capital
has increased 100000, The tax assessed

Victory Claimed by the Merchants.

The Putney merchants are of the opin-
ion that they have won in the kerosene
war which has been in progress here for
several months. They are in receipt of
communications from the Burlington agent
of the Standard Oil company stating that
the company's storage tank team at Brat
tleboro will make regular trips to Putney
and will furnish them with Homelight oil.
1t further states that the oil will be fur
nished exclusively to dealers and that
in no case will it be sold to consumers.
Heretofore the company has been furnish
ing Lux Lucum oil which the merchants
say is much inferior to Homelight oil. On
this account the merchants began using
oil refined by the Independent Oil COM
pany, and the Standard Oil company put
in the field a delivery wagon in what the
merchants claim was an attempt to freeze
them out. 1t has been demonstrated, the
merchants say, that the consumers prefer
the Independent Oil company's product to
the Lux Lucum oil, and they believe that
it is on this account that the Standard Oil
company has decided to supply a better
oil. The merchants state, however, that
they will not handle the Homelight oil I'M
less the Standard Oil company removes its
retail agent from the field.

A New Photographic Paper.

The Holyoke Paper company announces
a new and perfect method Of making raw
Photographic paper. The method is the
result of about five years of experimenting
and the expenditure of about $4,000.
Hitherto it has been supposed that no ser
viceable raw paper could be made in
this country. The paper sold on the
American market is now manufactured by
Rves d Steinbach, German manufacture
ing firm. In December combine of five
big American manufacturers of photo
graphic paper was announced, the purpose
of which was TO control the American sale
Of Rives Il Steinbach's German paper.
The Western Camera company, who re-
fused to join the combination, have now
secured the product of the Holyoke COM
pany and are ready to defy the combine.
The Nepera Chemical company say they
have supply Of raw paper on hand and
will join hands with the Western Camera
company in lighting the Eastman trust.

A Terrific Wind storm.

One of the most terrific winds that ever
visited this section was experienced on
Saturday night. Almost everyone suffered
more or less. Hardly a house escaped
without having a number of windows
blown in. Trees without number were
blown down and a number of buildings
were unroofed. The railroad station near
the residence of j. G. Batchelder, and
Mrs Sarah Mason's barn and shed were
blown down and completely wrecked. A
barn on the Warren Boyd farm and one
on the Perley Rich farm were unroofed,
Landlord Aliens large barn was partly
unroofed, in the village, and the Times
building was badly racked. Telephone
poles, blinds, loose boards and pretty
much everything else that was movable,
helped to make the scene one of confusion
and disaster.
