ABANDONED FARMS.
Aroostook Men Buying Them Through
out Central Name.

Newport, April -tSpeciaD-During
residents of Aroostook county come to
this place for the purpose of purcha.-
ing farms of Richard II. Libby OF the
f. y. Strout agency. The four Of the
instances TIE men purchased farms u.-
on which they intend to settle and make
their homes in the future. Among the
Aroostook county men in town one day
recently was Or. Hatfield Of Lime
stone who was here on business and
incidently to look over some of the
Strout farms. Mr.. Hatfield was ask ii
to give his reason why SO many of the
potato growers of ArOoStook count
We're leaving their farms and locating
here. The first thing that DR.. Hatfield
said in reply to the question was that
in his opinion this section Of the Pine
Tree State is on the verge Of agreat
boom along farming lines. He went on
further to say that one of the chief
things that is to bring this about is
the buying up of the abandoned farms,
and, also potato raising.
According to the gentlemen from
ATOOStoOk the FARMERS OF tflat section
of the State are just beginning to real
i2e the fact that potatoes can be raised
for profit in Central Maine just as we'll
as they can in AroOStOOk county. An
other thing which they have found out
is the fact that many of the abandoned
farms can be bought for almost Il song
So to speak and that with q few years
filling are equal to if not above many
of the farms in Aroostook county
Another thing mentioned is the near
ness to good markets for the tubers
In the late fall and early winter the
potatoes shipped from points in ARGOS.
took county stand in great danger Of
being frozen while potatoes shipped
from points east Of Bangor reach the
Boston market fully two days ahead
of those shipped from Pressure Isle and
HoultOn.
DIR. Hatfield also said that he knew
of several gentlemen living in Aruos-
took county who if potato raising was
carried on to any extent We're planning
| on building several starch factories in
this and nearby towns which will at
| once make market for potatoes.

18Th CONGRESS.
Another Bout in the House, Be-
tween "Heavyweights"
Passing Of the Lie Between Messrs
DalzelI and Cochran.
Upper Branch Passes Last Of Supplv
Measures.

Washington, April 2C-Thc "heavy-
weights" had another bout in the
House. today, with Messrs. Dalzeu and
Cochran as the combatants. The
speeches We're a renewal of last Satur-
days DEBATE, but were more personal
in their character. AS on Saturday the
speakers were greeted with vociferous
applause by their respective colleagues
and the bitterness of party feeling ran
high.
Dalzell had Cochran on the rack for
nearly two hours, during which time
he dealt largely with that gentleman's
political history, which he said showed
him to have been consecutively a
; Greenbacker. a sound money man and
free silver man.
He reverted to his statement of last
Saturday, that he had been Informed
that Cochran had accepted money to
support the campaign of Mckinley, and
read extracts from several newspapers
to show that was the general impress
sion at the time. A man, he said, who
would not have replied to Cochran as
he did on Saturday. would have been
a poltrOon and a coward.
Cochran. thoroughly indignant at
times, denied the accusation of DalZell.
whom he arraigned for making state
ments which could not be substantial
cd. If what DalEell had said, were
true, he declared, he was unworthy of
membership. In emphatic language
Cochran denied that he had received
money from the Palmer and Buckner
campaign committee or that he had
ever received money for supporting
Mckinley in 1896.
If DalZell, he said believed thu
charges against him. it was nothing but
n confession of the Republican partys
corruption and proof that the presi-
Dental election had been purchased.
The climax came when he offered a
resolution providing for the appoint
ment of select committee of five
members Of the House to investigate
the charge which had been made
against him by DaiZr!l. He and other.
Democrats, including Williams. the
minority leader. demanded immediate
consideration but the Speaker declined
to pass on a point Of order against the
resolution until ne had examined pre-
ccdcnts.
