According to the farmers in the west
IN part of the State the hay crop this
year will be larger than ever before
Known. At the first of the season it
vas feared that it would be ruined by
he unusual weather which prevailed
md all We're of the opinion that the re-
suits, when it came to harvesting time,
would be anything but satisfactory.
ioWeVer, the outlook is more than en-
,Oura ging and it seems little short Of Il
miracle, how stout the grass is now.
One man from that section says: that
he farmers are more than elated over
h" crop this year, as it Will exceed full
onn-t third more than that of last
ieasoI. y very poor crop was eX-
lectCG, but the weather conditions OF
ate have been very favorable to grass
growing, and the early drought seems
have improved rather than impaired
conditions, and the farmers, in many
asses, do rot know what to do with the
lay. Many barns are already filed to
yVeriioWing with the fragrant new
noWD grass, and much more remains
o be gathered in and the grass is So
hicl< on some lands that it bethcrs the
machine to cut it in first class shape.
Til" recent weather conditions have
improved this years harvest in an as
oniShing manner, and i'll some eases,
,uring the windy days of q few weeks
go, grass cut in the morning proved
. be ready for the barn by night. 1t
viii undoubtedly he one Of the most
successful years the agriculturist has
seen for many yours.

STATE HOUSE.
Wants TO Know If State Will
Furnish Butter.
Who Knows Anything of Family Of
D. T. Watson.
Many People Read the Department
Reports-Recent Visitors.

A request has been received from one
of the Aroostook county plantations,
FOR information in regard to the sup
plies which the state furnish to per-
sons in need. This letter sets forth
that in the particular plantation there
lives an elderly couple, who own their
little home and manage to exist, after
a fashion, though not living on the lux
urcs Of the land. The woman has but
one arm, the other having been ampu-
tated a few years since and it not able
to do any work about the house, so
that the husband attends to the house
hold labors, as best he can.
They manage to live, but are in need
of butter. says the writer of the letter.
and he wishes to know if the State will
pay for it for them and how to proceed
to secure it. While the State does
furnish supplies to those who are in
need and cannot provide for them
selves, butter is one of the articles
which are not on the, prescribed list.
The supplies which the state allows
are: Flour, beans, fish, tea, corn meal,
gmolasses, soup meat, sugar, pork, oil,
soda, matches, cOrned beef, potatoes
and salt.
In cases of sickness butter, rice and
crackers will be furnished, but it is
only in such cases.
4 In no case will the State pay for
stobacco, cheese, coffee, raisins, canned
goods and other like articles, except ii
sbe shown beyond all question that they
,aWere necessary.
1t frequently occurs that bills are
Presented for payment for long lists OF
canned goods and Injuries, liquors anG
wines of alI kinds. These are promptly
blue pencfled by the members of the
governors council, when the bill comes
up to be audited, and are not paid.
Another of those out-of-the-State
home purchasing associations is oc-
cupying the attention of Bank>Examin-
err Timbcrlake. This one is the Fra
tefnal Home Purchasing Association o:
Chicago This company has no license
to do business in Maine, not having
compiled with any Of the requirements
of the law. Mr.. Timberlake has written
to the officers of the company in Chica-
go, calling their attention to the pro-
visions OF the law OF Maine in regard t.
companies Of their nature and request
ing that they comply with its require
ments, or cease doing business in the
State.
A considerable amount of. attention
to these companies was given by Mr..
Tinherlake in his last annual report.
He outlined their methods OF dom.
business and called attention to the
provisions of the law regulating the
issuance of licenses to them.

Aberdeen, Wash, Oct. IS. - Fire
that burned from O'Clock yesterday
morning until in the afternoon
caused four deaths and destroyed
property valued at approximately one
million dollars. II practically wiped
out the main business street of this
town, which Is built mostly OF wood.
Ten business blocks and residences
were destroyed. Every business man
In the city is loser, either by fire,
water, removal, breakage or loss by
theft Not anticipating that the
flames could get beyond the fire de-
partment's control, many waited until
the fire was close upon them before
starting to move out. The streets
were soon strewn and Uttered with
all kinds of material and the rush and
haste of teams and people in every
direction caused great confusion.
The fire started in the old Mack
building on Hume street, which had
been regarded as 4 fire trap and a
dangerously constructed building. It
was three stories high and was occu-
pied by numerous single men who
cooked their own meals chiefly on oil
stoves. II was in a room on the third
floor
Where the Flames Started,
and the interior of the building was a
mass of flames when the alarm was
sent in. The four dead men lost their
lives in this building From the Mack
block the fire spread to the fine new
hose house and headquarters of the
fire department. Great volumes of
flames shot into the air and the heat
became unbearable a block distant.
The flames spread with remarkable
rapidity, licking up building after
building despite the heroic Efforts of
the firemen.
In order to stop the further progress
of the flames dynamite was used on
several of the bulldogs upon which
the flames were advancing. Tele-
phone messages brought the fire de-
partments of Hoquian and Montesano
to the scene and they did effective
work.
Aberdeen has a population of about
1000, and the chief industry is lum-
bering. Several large sawmills are
located near the town. but the fire
dis not reach them.
