Drowned in Manoa Auwai.

The native named Kaanaana (not
Kasuaaua) reported in other papers
a. having been drowned in Nupanu
stream last Monday night was found
drowned in taro patch watering
stream (auwai) in Mauoa Valley. He
was evidently on his way home in
the dark, az the auwsi banks led to-
wards his house, and being intoxi-
Gated, he may have slipped and
fallen into the stream. On account
of the lateness of the hour for his ar
rival home, his wife became alarmed
and went in search, and while com.
ing along the usual auwai bank
track, she found him lying in the
auwai, where little water was run
nidg, cold and stiff and that life was
extinct She raised . hue and: cry,
and summoning nearby neighbors,
they carried the body to his late
home, from which he was buried the
next afternoon. No inquest wal
held, there being no sufficient cause
TO warrant the holding of one, al
there was nothing suspicious in his
death.

Concerning Ink and Maine Weather.

We recently sent an order to the Geo. Fl.
Morrill, Co., Boston, for ''summer ink" but
it was received by us billed as "winter ink"
The firm was notified of the error, and we
received the following reply, which is print
ed with the aforesaid winter ink:
1t may be possible that we have discover
ed the identity of the man who said that
s'the climate of Maine was eight months
winter and four months ID late in the
fall" and he might be the one who put up
the ink for you.
The writer has had some experience with
the climate of the good old State Of Maine,
and along in June when the trout begin to
rise, and in October when the deer begin to
bite, and through the winter when sleighing
is good, there is nothing left to be desired.
There is time, along about this time OF the
year, about which it is perhaps as we'll to
say nothing, and l think we will drop the
subject.
A variety of climate is, we think, most
enjoyable, and we only know of one place,
land that only by reputation which has an
equable climate all the time, and we sim
cerely hope that we shall never be called on
to-suppose we say-enjoy it
For ten months in the year, anyhow,
Maine leaves nothing to be desired in the
way of climate or anything else; except,
Observation-Disclosures
But we started in to apologize for sending
you the wrong kind OF ink and, while we dc
not hope that your winter will Singer in
the lap of spring" long enough to cause the
ink to work all right, still we do hope that
the ink aoiH work all right, and that we may
be favored with your further orders.

FAIR FRYEBURG.

One of the most beautiful places for a
summer boarding place in New England is
to be found in Fryeburg, Maine,-a charm
ing village removed from electrcs and
various other annoyances and located in
the White Mountain region. There is
hotel which the people are proud of. 1t
was built in 1898 and is equipped with all
the modern improvements - electricity,
private baths, etc. The proprietor, Mr..
Frank Plummer, is ever on the alert to
please his guests. He is born hotel man,
his father and his grandfather having been
in the business. Fryeburg has everything
to make it an ideal summer home. Its fine
water supply, its grand scenery, and its
fine hotel explain why so many people go
there each season. The drives are some
thing never to be forgotten Such level
roads, and the magnificent pine groves give
one new lease of life! To those who have
spent so many seasons by dear old Belfast
bay we simply say, while Belfast is con-
templating its new hotel, which is sure to
come, go for one season to ''The Oxford"
Fryeburg, Maine.-Com.

ENFORCEMENT IN SOME RSET.

The situation in Somerset county relative
to enforcement of the prohiDitory law JUS
titles the opinions advanced time and again
by us in the columns of this paper, viz
that there is no real difficulty in making
the law effective if officers and courts mean
business and work in harmony to this end.
A sheriff cannot do the work alone, neither
can the county attorney, neither can the
municipal court, but when they all work in
concord, using judiciously and firmly the
penalties provided for violations, the work
is accomplished and the law enforced
The imprisonment penalty has been used
upon leading offenders as well as upon
those not SO prominent, but this has been
done in cases where violations have been
perSiStently continued, and, as d rule, COM
mitments have been made only upon mitti-
muses. suspended in previous cases, upon
express promise or explicit understanding
that no further violations should occur, and
where these promises have not been kept.
AS we understand it, those who have serv-
ed or are serving jail sentences have them
selves only to blame for it. The courts
could with self-respect do nothing but or
der the commitments in such cases.
When Sheriff Lang was elected by the
citizens of Somerset county we stated we
should stand by him in enforcement OF
law. 1t is matter of simple justice to
say that he has done his work with fidelity
and unfinch!ng determination and has been
effectively sustained in it by County At.
torney Cover and the municipal and SUI
preme courts. Skowhegan officials have
also been efficient in the good work Off
GERS and courts have not moved rapidly
enough to suit some ardent people, but, fol
nearly two years past, the movements have
been judiciouS and successful and there
have been no backward steps. We hope
sue measures will continue. There is NJ
good reason why they should not.-Somer
set Reporter.

night we occupied ''dugout," a place
in the side of hill similar to cave,
and tora couple of days were obliged to
exist on ''bacon and spuds." haven't
an Irish taste anyway and after about
ten meals of the above named articles,
| felt like saying as did the young fell
low in the boarding house. This is an
old story but will bear repeating: A
young man was boarder at certain
eating establishment where it was
noticeable that the principal dish
on the bill of fare was that connection
of unknown ingredients which defies
analysis and is called hash. One even
ing the young man expected a friend to
dine with him and wishing to create
for his boarding place as favorable an
impression as possible, he informed the
landlady, of the expected visitor, init
mating that few extras in the
culinary line would be duly appreciated.
On the evening in question the friend
appeared, and in due season came the
summons to replenish the inner man.
Expectantly the young man escorted
his friend to the dining room. Alas
for his hopes! There was the usual
centerpiece. The only extra noticeable
was its size; the quality was the
same. After the boarders were seated
the landlady, thinking to please, asked
the young man if he would offer
grace" He gazed pensively at the
mountain of Dad Land" before him,
heSitated moment, then closing his
eyes said: Hebrews 18th chapter sth
verse;" The curiosity of all was arous-
ed, and as soon as possible each one ex-
cused himself and began still hunt
for Bible. Perhaps, reader, you may
feel sufficiently interested to do like
wise, but kindly accept word of advice ::
Take your dust cloth with you.

proved to be a horsestall. | felt like

his friends took him on drive across

lost. Unable to locate the right trail
and darkness coming on they decided
to camp. Looking around they espied
ruin which upon closer inspection
proved to be deserted pig-pen. No
other shelter offering they accepted
that at hand, and camped therein. Now
| do not know that under stress of cir
cumstances one would object to occu-
plying the abode of that noble friend
and servant of man, the horse, but l
certainly draw the line at hogs.

GOOD ROADS.

GOV. Hill, in replying to the National
Good Roads association, which meets in
st. Louis in May says: ''The question
OF improved highways is one of great
interest and Importance to the whole
State and especially to the people of the
country towns. Good roads shorten
distance to market, increase the value
OF contiguous property, and are i'm
portant factors to the development of
every community. Although there has
been vast improvement in our trans
portation facilities during the past 20
years, through the building of new
railroad mileage, there has been little
Improvement in our highways, along
which there will always be large
amount of traffic, and it would seem
that the time has come when we should
adopt some definite and effective plan
for the Improvement of our main thor
oughfares"
| And the Bath Enterprise well says
! in this connections 1--WE know of
nothing, unless it is the schools, which
adds more to the value of a town or
city as a place of residence than good
roads. The time has gone by when any
Old track through the country will do.
The people in the cities and in the
country towns, as well, have begun to
realize that good roads are an actual
necessity for the welfare and prosperity
of their community. The more pros
porous town the better are it's roads,
the better the roads the more prosper
Gus town. This is sign which in
these days never falls"
Our Bath contemporary is also cor
rect in saying that the question of high
! ways is deserving of more attention
than it is getting, and in urging that
operations begin early. 1t says: "Now
is the time to get in the work on the
roads, while the ground is soft and we
| know just where the mud holes are.
Look out for the drainage, fill in the
| hollows, dig out the bitches and rake
out the rolling stones. Don't wait until
July after the ground has become baked
and dusty. Do it now and when July
comes the work will be all done and
everyone can enjoy the roads at their
BEST
| The Hallowell Register, in comment
ing on Governor Hills remarks, sug-
gests that the State legislators should
give the people one or two WELDON
structed turnpike roads, which would
prove an object lesson to the State
That would be we'll perhaps, but most
places already have object lessons in the
State roads so-called. The only wonder
is that something of the kind had not
been done before. The rudiments of
! good road building are very simple.
They have been written and printed
and urged from time immemorial, and
yet those in charge of the roads have
gone on in the old wasteful way, en-
failing large expense and the worst pos
sible thoroughfares.

POTATO PARAGRAPHS.

Three dollars have been Shelled out for
about every barrel of good potatoes, white
stock, that has been received in the Fort
Fairfield market for week past, says the
Fort Fairfield Review
Two of the prominent and influential
members of the Fort Fairfield Congrega-
tional church last fall invested quite sum
of money in potatoes, privately vowing that
if they made profit that profit should be
given to their church. The amount made
was over 5000, and last Sunday morning
the pastor, Rev. ID. L. Wilson, made the
cheering announcement that that amount
had been received from the transaction by
the church.
Dover has an emigrant from Aroostook,
Erving Hbbard, who sold his farm in
Eaton and bought one in South Dover. The
Piscataquis Observer says:
During conversation with Mr.. Hubbard
we found that big crops of potatoes do
not grow in Aroostook county spontaneous
ly. At one time he built a starch factory
and contracted for rs acres of potatoes Tor
it, but the yield was so poor that half OF
the acreage was not worth digging. The
next season he planted 10 acres and showed
the farmers what was necessary to get
good crop and after that there was no trou-
Bile
The Aroostook farmer who raises big
crops of potatoes treats his soil just as the
horseman does the horse that makes a good
showing-he feeds it we'll and works over
it. No soil is considered too good for pota-
toes; Mr.. Hibbard said that he had plowed
up land that was yielding two tons OF hay
to the acre and planted it to them,
But potato raising is no soft job and MIR.
Hubbard intends to devote considerable at
tention to stock for change and brought
some fine animals with him.
