IT WAS A scoRcHER.
Not So Much Snow Is Year Ago But Packed
More Solidly and Badly 0rittsd.

| 1t was an open question. Tuesday,
whether or not the storm OF Monday
| night was any worse than that of a
year ago when there was such "a gem
eral blockade.
| During the first part of the evening.
Monday. great many did not think
| that the storm was any more severe
than usual and went out. but by the
time the hour to so home had arrived
several found that it was absolutely
impossible to leave and had to remain
with their host and hostesses.

the West due here at 10 was over an

Skowhegan until the morning was well
along. Over the upper road the travel
| was we'll blocked
AS soon as the arrangements could
be made several snow plows were sent
out i'm all directions. SO that by noon
the roads were partially cleared out.
The snow was not as deep as it was a
year ago but in places was packed
down so solfdly that there was the
greatest difficulty in breaking through.
This difficulty was in part removed
from the fact that the plows were kept
going all night that the snow might
be broken up.
No mail arrival until no n

Journals. which usually arrive here on
the Eli train in the morning, did not
arrive here until after II O'clock. The
carrier boys had a hard time of it. The
snow was so solidly packed in that the
street crew could not hurry even
though there was three-horse team
doing the work. One of our two boys

rounds by tramping. used skees.
The storm was a great hindrance to
the college boys as they were planning
to leave on the train, yesterday morn

boys had to stay4over until afternoon
Men and women on snow shoes
around town were a common sight
This was not confined wholly to the
younger people burt like the smallpox
scare had taken a strong hold on many
of the staid business men. Il
The Lockwood mills closed, early
yesterday morning. When the time to
go to work arrived there were so few
operatives in the mills that it was
found to be useless to keep running |
and the speed was shut down for the |
day. The same was the case in other |
places where large number of wo-
men were employed.
The worst drift in town was reported
out toward Crummett's Mills where
there was a drift 10 feet high. On Sill,

FAIRFIELD.
FAIRFIELD is DETERMINED
That She Will Pave 10 Smallpox II II Can Be
Prevented.

Dr. l.. ID. Rand of the local board of
health was asked, Tuesday evening
what Fairticld's attitude toward the
smallpox now existing in Waterville
was to be. The doctor was in favor OF
n most vigorous quarantine policy
The board stationed u man at the Elec-
trio Road waiting room, Tuesday
morning to prevent the employees Of the
Lockwood mills from going to work
The storm prevented them from going
anyway. Those who work in the fac
tory will be prevented from going back
and forth until the disease has abated.
ff any wish to continue working in the
factory they must remain in Water
vile.
The board has consulted legal advice
in regard to stopping the Electric cars.
II possible. they will be at once stopped
All peddlers will be kept out of the town
and none of the WaterviIle teams that
are in the habit of making regular
trips here will be allowed to continue.
The board fully realizes the serious
ness of the case and are preparing for
a most vigorous campaign. 1t will so
far as possible stop all intercourse with
Waterville.
DIR. +. J. Robinson. who. for many
years was a member of the local board
of health. is wholly in favor of the ac-
ton taken by the board. He called the
cotton mill at waterville. the germ of
the whole matter and believes that
Fairfield employees should be prevented
from going freely back and forth. He
is also in favor of stopping all public
gatherings and of closing all the
schools. The board has not thought ii
necessary to go quite SO far as this
as there is as yet no case in town.
The town is not at all excited over
the state of affairs, but is determined
that the most stringent measures will
be enforced as soon as necessary.
One house in town is quarantined
but there is no case of smallpox there.
John Mayo. who runs a fish cart. en-
tered one of the quarantined houses at
Waterville and as soon as the matter
was reported to the local board of
health his house was quarantined.
DIR. l.. d. Rand of the board of health.
visited one suspected case. Saturday
night, but found that it was not small
pOX.
The board of health also cancelled
Lieut.. Jeffery's engagement which was
to begin here. Monday evening.
The offices of Doctors Rand and
Robinson were crowded all day, Mon
day and Monday evening, by people
anxious to be vaccinated.
G. {. Eaton. secretary of the board
of health. ordered pack peddler. who
makes his headquarters in Waterville.
to discontinue his trips through this
town and Shawmut, Monday morning.
which action was occasioned by COM
plants of Shawmut people.

Gooseberry bushes do hest when
well trimmed.
Do not set out trees when the
ground is frozen.
Scions for grating may be cut
now at any time.
After the ground freezes is the
time to apply the mulch.
The best site for plum orchard

In all pruning make clean cut

In planting out an orchard for
fruit to sell set out only few of
the hest-selling varieties.
On account of the roots growing
near the surface the ounce should
be mulched in good season.
Trees frozen in transportation
should be sheltered or covered, so
as to allow gradual thawing.

that it is economical to grow them

not respond to two crops as favor
