Wants q Location

The National Electric Company of
New York City are in search of a new
location for their factory and rep
resentative of that firm recently had
an interview with prominent citizen
of this place with regard to their
coming to Skowhegan. They are at
present employing thirty men in their
New York works, and their annual
rental is $4,000. They feel they can
secure factory In a small New Eng
land community, where they can en-
ploy about 80 hands, for much less
than this sum, and that other condi-
tions will be equal or superior to
those they now enjoy.
They wish for local capital to the
extent of $4,000 and will issue bonds
to that amount, secured on all their
assets which, with the bond issue,
will amount to $4,000. They were in
conversation by telephone on Mon
day with Bin w. Page, cashier of the
First National Bank, and they offer
to pay the expenses of committee
of not more than three of our citizens
to come to New York, see their works
and look carefully into the matter.
Their business is the manufacture
of all kinds of electrical novelties, in
Guiding massage machines, flatirons,
window tappers, etc. They would
wish a location where a side track
could be built to their works.

We don't believe it is the province
of the United States government to
attempt to regulate the universe
--''the world, the flesh and the DEVIL"
so to speak. What right has the post
Office department to try to run the
newspapers of the country, taking
the details of the business out of the
hands of the publishers? It's propo-
sition now is to set brief and arbi-
trary limit to the time for which pub
fishers may extend credit to their
subscribers and retain the privileges
of the pound rate. In the case of
weeklies, which would affect the RE-
PORTER, copies would not be accept
ed for mailing at these rates where
the subscriber is in areas more than
a year. In the case of dailies only
three months are allowed. Now we
claim that that is matter resting
solely with the publisher and his pa
iron. OF course all newspaper men
would like to have subscriptions paid
in advance; but If through forgetful-
ness or any other cause the subscrip-
tion is not paid promptly, they don't
want the government to step in with
such unjust and arbitrary ruling.
We hope our Congressman will see to
it that this unjust interference is
promptly nipped in the bud.

Frances Roads Best In tho World


Among the reasons which make the
highways of France the best In the
world is the requirement that all pre-
liminary roadmaking operations shall
be thoroughly performed. When en-
bankments are made the earthwork is
built up only a few inches at time
and the successive strata are leveled
and in the neighborhood of masonry
rammed. Every ditch is carefully cut

necessary paved with stones. Danger
GUS turns are protected by stone para
pets. At each crossroad there are sign
posts, always In order. and the Touring
club Of France has established indi.
Gators to remind the tourist of danger.

railroad crossing is protected by a

Keith's Boston Theatre.

A worthy successor of this weeks
truly remarkable holiday bill will be
found at Keith's next week, and the
holiday flavor will not be lacking, for
rs festive occasion New Years
week has come to be looked upon al
most on par with Christmas week.
That bunch OF animation, Eva Tan
quay, we'll named "The Cyclonic
Coincidence, will head the bill.
Miss Tanguay's initial appearance in
vaudeville in Boston about a year
ago was great triumph for her, and
there is every reason to believe she
will duplicate her original success.
She has number OF new songs, but
still retains 81 Don't Care" as her
piece de resistance, as 1t well de-
serves to be.
A new farce by George AIDE has
come to be looked upon as a real
event in the vaudeville world, for his
"Marse Covington" and "Mrs. Peck
hams Carouse" are now looked upon
as classics of their kind. "The
Mayor and the Manicure" is the title
OF his latest skit, and it will be CAPT
tally played by Eugene Jepson and
company. Mr.. Jepson, who is recog-
nized as one Of Americas best char
acter actors, has part similar to the
one he created in "Just out of Col
lege."

The Christmas Trade.

A review of the Christmas shopping
season leads to the belief that it was
not quite equal in volume to that of
the past few years in this place.
Skowhegan is the shopping center of
the county and the residents of sur
rounding towns whose patronage is
always important to our merchants
and especially 80 at Christmas time,
were quite generally prevented by
the weather and travelling, from COM
ing here. They had every reason to
expect sleighing, which has prevailed
in this section, almost without ex-
ception, during the last half of De-
cember, for many years. AS the icy
roads made travelling very difficult
and dangerous, it was but natural
these people should defer their trips
to town from day to day In the hope
that snow would come; then came
the storm of Monday and Tuesday,
which made a combination of bad
travelling aud disagreeable weather
conditions that prevented any one
getting out of doors except on err
rands of absolute necessity.
This condition of affairs affected
the volume of trade here to an ex-
tent heretofore unprecedented, and
there is no doubt that the money
stringency in the large cities, with
the curtailment of orders to some ex-
tent and the lessened payrolls of our
local industries, was responsible for
the conservative buying on the part
of local holiday shoppers. The gem
eral feeling is that the business crisis
was past some weeks since and that
improvement has already set in, but
the thought of disturbed conditions
has been so much in the public mind
that it would not be at all surprising
if many felt disposed to make less
costly gifts, or less in number, than
in past seasons.

To Build New Block,

j. Palmer Merrill now has the
elevation and floor plans of the new
block to be erected by him, fronting
on Water street and Madison avenue.
This structure is to replace the stores
owned by Mr.. Merrill in this location,
destroyed by the FIRE OF September
second and will be q fine addition to
Skowhegan's central business section.
The Water street frontage will ex-
tend from the line of the corner lot,
owned by Griffin & Sampson to and
including the store now occupied by
Arnold & Currier, distance of about
70 feet. The Madison avenue section
will have frontage of about Is feet.
The building will be brick, two stories
In height, and the plans show very
handsome front, which can not fail to
give 1t rank among the most hand
some business structures in the coun
ty. The architects are Miller & Mayo
OF Lewiston.
The shoe business, conducted for so
many years under the name of r. II
Merrill & Son, will be continued by a
firm in which some member or mem
beers of the Merrill family will have
an interest or by an entirely new
firm which will succeed them. The
store for this business will have an
entrance on both Water street and
Madison avenue, 90 feet on the
former and Is feet on the latter, and
have a depth from Water street OF
about SO feet. The remaining front
age on Madison avenue will be de-
signed for a barber shop. The oc-
cupancy of the remaining Water
street stores, two of which will be IL
and the third about IL feet wide, is
not determined, nor is the arrange
ment of space on the second floor
finally settled upon. AS shown in
the plans the second floor is divided
into two Office suites and three flats
for residence purposes, but this may
be modified upon further considera-
tion. All appointments for both
floors are to be of the most to
date kind.
The actual work of construction
will be entered upon as early at
possible in the spring

How q Flea Jumps.

1t Is said that flea leaps 200 times
Its height, and while 1t usually does
land on Its feet, 1t often falls, especial
ly when 1t falls on perfectly smooth
surface where the claws can get only
a slight hold. A flea has six legs,
whose great length and bulk make
them 50 heavy that they must be a
great help In keeping their owner right
side up when 1t makes one Of these
gigantic jumps. and when It lands up

more than one wriggle Is needed to
set things right. A tiea's wings are
mere scales and of no use; but. small

the entomologist something about the
proper classification of the insect. To
the flea itself they have no value.
