THAT MILK STRIKE.
More Farmers Join the Ranks to Shut
 Out Boston Markets.

The manager of one of the largest milk farms in Brooklyn, Conn, who shipped about half his usual amount yester- day, refused to send any this morn ing, and it Is said that other producers in that section have promised to follow his example. Most of the milk from this vicinity goes to the Elm Farm dairy, Boston.

Not only does Gothic afford a

grand waterfalls, the lofty peaks
adorned with perpetual snow, all
form scenic attractions that are
unsurpassed for grandeur.
To the disciples of Izaak Wal

the town of Gothic. To reach that

important mining camps of the

those who possess property in the
vicinity OF Gothic, that some day,
given the time and needed capital,
