Sleek and thick and yellow AS gold,
And never 4 frost till the season was

How did the hay and potatoes thrive?
Never better since man was alive

A dispatch has been going the
rounds under Damariscotta date line
relating the woes of Whitefield, stat
ing that II Is too poor to pay its taxes,
and that the 300 population depend
upon making lime barrels for a living
etc. This is gross injustice to
Whitetield which is a prosperous agri-
cultural town of 1900 or 400 popula-
ton and where the taxes are paid as
promptly as in other municipalities.
The dispatch says the valuation of the
town is only $4,000 while its tax ar
rears are $4,000. due in part to mis-
appropriation of funds. All this is
badly twisted and it is not Whitcfeld
at all which is meant, but the unfortu-
nate little town of Somcrville in the

Work Of Swinging the Heavy Copper Wires

from the power plant at the Madrid
coal mines to the mines and mills OF
the Cochiti and Navajo Gold Mining
companies. in the Cochiti mining dis
trict. Is progressing rapidly, and will
soon be completed.
The wires have already been strung
from Madrid to a point on the west side
of the Rio Grande. about a half mile
below the Cochiti Indian village. and
will thence follow the line Of the new
wagon road direct to the Albemarle
mine In Cola canyon. and then across
the hills to the Bland mill and the Lone
star mine. The electric current that
will pass over this line will be amply
sufficient to operate and illuminate the
mines and reduction plants OF the com
panies named. and light all the build
lngs and streets Of Bland and Abe
marie, and still there will be available
A large surplus Of power for use when
and where needed.
The completion and operation OF this
line will prove a great advantage to the
entire Cochiti mining district, particu-
Iarly in the respect that 1t avoids the
further need Of wood for fuel. and VIII
