The Bangor & ArOOstook Railroad
Company's side of the potato blockade
OF Aroostook has been heard from. One
of its prominent officials says that in
his opinion the potatoes WOuld be
taken care of and without any los3 to
the farmers. The railroad was doing
everything in its power to help out
Aroostook county and every car that
could be pressed into service was made
use nf. The company had to do some
thing to prevent its cars from going
off of the line because once a car did
get away there was no telling when it
would be returned. The Maine Central
and Boston & Maine found it more
profitable to have loaded cars than
empty ones and it was hard to have
the empties returned at once. Con-
corning the number of freight cars
owned by the Il. & A. it has more cars

The company made every provision

committee was appointed to make
an investigation. The committee
is, Governor Chamberlain, State
Superintendent Ackerman and
Captain Apperson. TIE situation
is that the war department requests
the suspension of Cadet McCully
and a reference of his case to the
faculty for action, together with an
apology to be made to Lieutenant
Quinlan, stating that if these sug-
gestions are followed the secretary
of war will give personal supervision
to the selection of an officer to be
detailed for service at the State COL
lege. In harmony with the request
Cadet McCully was suspended
pending an investigation by the
committee of which Governor
Chamberlain is the head. The
committee was given full power to
act, and is to report findings to the
board and to the war department.
The department is invited to send a
representative to be present at the
investigation. which contemplates
also that Lieut.. Quinlan may al
so be present.
The board conferred the degre e
Of Ph. D. on Superintendent Acker-
man and made the title of c. M.
McKellips, assistant professor.
The ad interim selection of J. H.
Nc Dougal as assistant professor of
electrical engineering and that of

THE CONTRACT LET.
For Womans Building 1t IS
to Cost Nearly Seventy
thousand Shook
the man.

The contract has been let for the
erection of Womans building at
the College. The great structure
will be put up by the man who
built Agricultural Hall. He is H.
Shook. the we'll known Salem con-
tractor, and one who became very
popular with Corvallisites during
the months that he was engaged in
the construction of Agricultural
Hall.
The new building is to be Of Cas-
cade granite in the first or what is
called the basement story, and
Pioneer sand stone is to be the ma
terial for the two upper stories.
The cost completed is to be $780,
345, and the contractor has until
July I, 1907 to complete the work.
Ali the bids were on basis of COM
pleting the structure by September
I, 1907, but the building committee
insisted On the earlier date in order
that furnishings and all other ar
rangements could be fully 'complet-
ed by the opening of college a yeaI
hence.
The building will be the most
imposing as we'll as the most ex-
pensive structure on the college
campus. It is to occupy the most
beautiful eminence on which the
Hogg house stands. 1t will neces-
state the removal of the athletic
field to some other spot year
hence, and will be so placed as to
present a magnificent prospect to
those who view it from anywhere
in Corvallis, or from the c. & E.
railroad. The plan has been SO
arranged that the ground plan will
be of the shape Of a letter F. with
the projections westward, and with
the stem running north and south
The north and south length is 1Ss
feet, of which 13S feet has width
of 48 feet. About the center is {
boiler and steam heating
arrangement. At the south enc
is an L 1o3 feet long by 80 feet
wide. The building will accommo
date 200 girls, in addition to the
dressmaking, household science
and probably the music and draw
ing departments. The architecture
al arrangement is such that ultim
ately when required. an L can be
added to the north end, the effect O
which will be to add rooms for 1ot
girls and heighten> the architecture
effect of the structure.
The attendance of girls at the col
lege last year was 2I2; of boys
523. Formerly the attendance O
boys and girls was about equal. I
is believed that the lack of such &C
commodations as the new building
will afford is what accounts for tn
unequal distribution of the sexe
attending the Institution.
The contract was awarded yes
terday morning by the buildin!
committee.

UNSIGNED LETTER,
And It's Writer Makes Threats
1t Came to Victor Hurt.

The anonymous letter writer has
begun operations on o. ". Hurt.
AS though MS cup Of bitterness
were not already sufficiently filled
the chap who attacks from ambush
and never comes out from cover,
has begun his assault. An un-
signed letter containing threats was
received by Mr.. Hurt Tuesday. It
was dated at Portland Sunday and
postmarked at Portland Monday.
1t was apparently in the natural
handwriting of the sender, no at
tempt at disguise being observable.
There was some bad spelling. but
in other respects the letter was
fairly good in appearance. It in
formed Mr.. Hurt that he must not
attempt to aid in the defense of his
daughter. Also that he must pro-
vide a monument fol George
Mitchelps grave or he would be
'fxed.'
The letter was taken to Portland
by Perry Mitchell and compared
with one of similar character re.
ceived by Mrs. Burgess Starr of
that city. The contents were some
what similar, though in the case of
Mrs. Starr the threat was THAT if
she did not do as the writer direct
ed she would be "cut to pieces"
In the matter of handwriting, how
ever, the letters were totally un-
like, and were apparently not writ
ten by the same person.
Along with this unpleasant letter
Mr.. Hurt is receiving a great
many letters every day, some from
! friends and others from total strang-
ers, all containing kindly expres-
sions Of sympathy and respect,
enquiring if they cannot be of
assistance.
