WANTS TO OPEN HOUSE HERR
To Handle Truck and Dispose Of
Stocks.

Mr.. Ed G. Speer has an enterprise Oh
hand which he is inclined to think car
be conducted here with great profit to
those interested. He proposes, either
with few others or as a stock com
pany, to establish house here which
will handle aud sell bankrupt stocks Of
goods which they will buy very cheap
in New York. These opportunities to
handle such stocks are of frequent oc-
curence and, he thinks, the business
can be done at fine profit. The con.
Germ will also handle for farmers here
entire crops of melons, tomatoes and
other produce, and with good connec-
tons with the East sell them at good
prices. This, he says, would encour-
age the planting of larger crops Of
truck. He is greatly impressed with
the scheme and is going to put it to
success.

1t is gratifying to have the assur-
-ance that there are no obstacles to the
acquisition by the United States OF a
clear title to the Panama canal prop
erty. Word comes from Paris that
there will be no possible complications
arising from the claims of creditors or
stockholders of the old company, in
case the United States becomes the
owner of the property. If this is true
it clears the way to a treaty with CO.
lumbia which will be necessary before
this government can profit by acquir-
ing the title, and it is not expected that
the present little difficulty down in
Columbia will at all interfere with such
treaty.

The Work Of irrigation.

For the past 10 years the National
Irrigation congress has held annual
sessions in some part Of the West, but
much more than the usual interest at
taches to the session which will be
held. this week, at Colorado Springs.
At the last session of Congress definite
steps were taken toward national aid
in retaining the vast arid regions of
the West and Southwest. Here in the
East we little understand the irrigation
problem. but 1t is a matter of vital inn
portance in those sections and Presi-
dent Roosevelt has shown himself a
good friend of the plans for national
irrigation. The experiments already
made and the great field that lies open
give promise that an enormously pro-
ductive area will shortly be added to
our domain and our agricultural prod
uct be largely added to.
All the states and territories in the
arid belt will be well represented at
this weeks convention and the prob
lem of an artificial water supply for
the barren and unproductive regions
within them will be thoroughly dis
cussed. One Of the states most deeply
interested is Texas. A state irrigation
conference was held there, last month,
and State Commissioner Jefferson
Johnson in his annual report tells at
length of what has been accomplished
by deep well irrigation. One instance
which he cites. is sufficient to show
what is possible in all the arid regions
He calls attention to a truck farm of
140 acres near San Antonio. This
land was covered with mesquite bush
es, prickly pear and other cacti and
was considered of very little value for
farming purposes when the owner de-
termined to try the experiment. He
drove two wells to a depth Of 600 feet,
which yield a flow of 1000 gallons per
minute. and from these wells the water
is conducted by bitches to points de-
sired. This 40 acres is divided into
small tracts of 10 to IL acres each, and
is leased to tenants at s22.75 per acre,
for the use of the land, water and cot
tage. During the year 1901 there were
but few acres from which the products
did not sell for more than $500 per acre.
On several acres $50 bushels of Irish
potatoes were made for an early crop,
and after harvesting the same land
was planted in sweet potatoes, and the
yield was 275 bushels per acre, giving
in one year 525 bushels of potatoes to
the acre"

The news of the death Of Sumner j.
Chadbourne will cause grief in many
hearts. Few men in public life were
so we'll known as he, none were more
highly esteemed. He had public ca

and many have been the positions of
trust and responsibility that ne mas
filled. No man was ever more 1altn-
full to. a trust, none deserved more the

lie life a most courteous gentleman

Beyond doubt Sumner ]. Chadbourne
was known to more Maine men and
knew more men worth the knowing
than any other person in this State. He
was not what the funeral ministers and
newspapers term "a kindly, genial
SOUL" though he was both kind and
genial when occasion required. The
fiber of his being, the chief quality
which made "Chad" liked, was the
sterling and outspoken honesty of con-
viction, his fearless habit of saying
what he thought and saying it at all
times. No man has lived in modern
times who had made such valuable
collection of answering friends as
were owned by Mr.. Chadbourne. What
is still better. no man deserved them
and earned them and had a better
right to use them than he. That he
did not use them-that he helped them
always-was due to the fact that he
was able to look out for himself and
that living or dying he would not be
behOlden to any man. .....
Dear old "Chad," noble Chad" how
the State will miss him now that he
is gone! He above most men whom
we have known. was invariable under
all conditions, loving his friends al
ways, hating his enemies with an un-
dying hatred, doing good with no
thought of reward, acting in justice.

his long service of nearly half century

strongly testifies. AS a servant Of the

as man his list of friends included all
with whom he became acquainted. Mr..
Chadbourne will be sincerely mourned
by many outside the more immediate
circle of his intimate acquaintances.
