THEY SAY NOT.
Mcintosh Company Secure
No Abatement.

West Brookheld, Feb. 6.-The Qua
boag Building Association held their
meeting in Grange Hall this evening.
James Dillon presided. The applica-
ton Of the superintendent of the Nc
lntosh Company for an abatement in
rent was read by the secretary.
Considerable discussion followed, but
most of the remarks were unfavorable
to any concessions to the company, and
upon vote being taken, there were SO
votes against and only II in favor of
the abatement of rent. AS there were
116 shares voted upon out of a total of
100, this action shows certainly that
there is strong majority against help
ing the present company.
What action the Mcintosh Company
VIII row take, is problematical. 1t is
believed that they will keep on manu-
featuring just the same, but as they
nave no lease of the factory they oc-
cupy, there is nothing to prevent the
association from renting it to other par
ties II they wish to come here and do
business.
There are rumors that an application
has been made to rent it, and also that
Mcintosh is to move to Brookfield and
occupy part of the Burt factory,

|rious roundup Of Mr.. Catchings
congressional career, 1t has fallen
to the lot of but few men to have
! their names so thoroughly iden-
titled with a measure Of such great
| National value as the river and
harbor bill. Mr.. Catchings has
made this work his especial mission
during the whole Of his entire ca
|reer in congress. While others
have talked politics, he has talked
Of progress. Against Imperialism
he has passed on for empire-the
empire of peace and prosperity to
be won by the reclamation and pro-
lection Of the fertile lands of the
great Mississippi Valley, and the
preparation of the river for the
wonderful cimmercial benefcence
tits destined to achieve. For this
he has labored often against the
Indifference Of his own people and
always against the powerful oppo-
sitlon of hostile interests hard to
convert or to quiet. But he has
kept the faith, be has fought the
good fight: his labor has been
crowned with honor and success,
and the welcome endorsement Of
"well done will greet him upon
his return to his home. Green

The above is a Just and fitting
tribute to the methods and the
achievements of Congressman
Catchings. 1t has been his fortune
as it was his definite aim when he
entered Congress, to serve the vital
and especial interest Of his con-
,tituents by, first, establishing its
national character and standing;
and then by concentrating his
thought and energies upon it to
labor Increasingly for its advance
ment. In this there was true
wisdom. and fruits have been borne |
accordingly. Thus conceiving his |
duty, Mr. Catchings has raised |
