Auburn. LiWlefeld's pond is the source
of supply of the Sprngvale aqueduct
company, which supplies the town water.
AS there is n serious epidemic of typhoid
fever there every effort is being made
to determine the cause. Analysis of the
water is being made by the State chem
list. Mr.. Berry took away one dead and
ore live fish for examination. While he
would not express a positive opinion, it
is understood that he believes the fish
are heing killed by lime. The pond is
situated between hills and is fed entire
ly by springs. Lime could only have been
placed there. if at all. by design.
Tho potato shipments for the three
months ending Nov. 1 beat the record in
Aroostook county by far. Despite the
shortage of Bangor & AroostOok cars,
which means the holding UP of about 200,
000 bushels of potatoes, the October ship
ments, 937,767 bushels, were over 100 GOO
bushels ahead of last year, and showed a
larger increase than either August or
September. The total is 1,64l ,5S7 bushels
for the three months, an increase of 26l,-
222 bushels over the same period in 1901.
The August increase was 64.344 bushels,
September S6,5?1 bushels. and October 1O)
3a1 bushels. Had there been a sufficient
number of cars TO handle all the ship
ments offered. October's shipments would
have far exceeded the figures given The
price of potatoes is soaring rapidly de-
spite the larger shipments. and is result
ing in the biggest boom that Aruostoo<
ever had. The price. Saturday was 81. 80

One of Augustus well-known citi-
Zens. who is an authority on military
matters, said, yesterday, in speaking
of the National Guard, that few young
men realize the opportunities that the
guard holds out to them. The United
States government furnished them
with two uniforms, an overcoat. rifle
and all equipments. also all the am
munition which they desire for rifle
practice. and the opportunity to make
friendships with the other young man
of the organization, and asks nothing
i'm return. except that they shall at
tend drill regularly, and attend a mus
ter in the summer time. During this
time, which is really an outdoor vaca
ton, they draw $l.25 per day. besides
all expenses and thereby many a
young man enjoys his vacation and
comes back with money in his pocket
instead of. as usual, being ut an eX-
pense during his outing.
