Of people who belong to them do

You will not grumble at the rise in
the price of dairy products when you
consider what is demanded of the
farmer in contrast with the conditions
existing few years ago, which would
not now be tolerated. We remember
when the manure had to be shovelled
away TO make place where you could
Set the milking stool, and no atten-
ton was paid to the cleanliness of the
COW. Now there must be plenty of
light, the barn floors must be clean,
the windows washed frequently, the
walls whitewashed, the mixers have
clean clothes and clean hands, the
milk strained at once and put away in
aciean place free from all danger of
contamination. And on top of this
there has been an advance of 25 per
cent in the cost of feed. And as we
all want pure, clean milk, we should
be willing to pay for it. And, as we
said two weeks ago, milk at seven
cents a quart is the cheapest food
brought into the family.

Struck by Train.

Coroner L. j. Addition was called to
Mainstream last Thursday to hold an
inquest over the body of Mrs. Betsey
Moore, who was killed on the tracks
of the Sebasticook & Moosehead Lake
Railroad, the previous day. Mrs.
Moore resided in Hartland but had
been to visit with relatives in Har-
mony. She started on foot Wednes-
day morning to return to Hartland.
The engineer, of mixed train, as he
was rounding a curve about two miles
below Mainstream, saw woman
ahead, lying just outside the rails.
He blew his whistle for brakes and, as
the whistle sounded, he noted that the
woman raised her head. The train
was brought to a stop as quickly as
possible, but some portion Of the en-
gine struck her head with sufficient
force to cause her death. 1t is PROP
able that she had fallen beside the
track and had become 80 bewildered
in her faculties as not to realize the
danger she was in. Coroner Addition
decided that no fault was attached to
the railroad or it's employees.

Fairgrieves Property Sold.

Messrs. John G. Griffin and A. R.
Jewett have bought the Fairgrieves
restaurant lot on Madison avenue in
cluding the portions of the building
left standing after the fire of Sept. q
and are to build three story, modern
wooden block there at once. The
lower floor will be designed as mar
ket for Mr.. Jewett's use and will In
clude every device for the handling
and storing of meat and market
goods. Mr.. Jewett commenced bust
ness in his store under Hotel Coburn,
12 years ago, and this will be his first
change of location. The two upper
floors will be fitted in apartments,
city fat style for residential purposes,
The lot has frontage of 26 feet and
extends back "a feet, and is one OF
the most desirable locations ON Mad
ison avenue.
This sale on the part of Mr.. Fair
grieves indicates that he purposes to
retire for time from mercantile pur-
suits. He has been in the restaurant
business in this place for more than 80
years and for 25 years or more in this
location on Madison avenue. The
line which appeared SO often in his
advertising, "H dquarters for
Sportsmen,n has been more than
verified with regard to this Madison
avenue store and there are many
persons in this section, and through
out the country from Maine to Cali
fornia, who will retain friendly
memory for it and its genial proprie-
tor. Mr.. Fairgrieves owns farm in
Madison, overlooking Hayden Lake,
and this is to receive his principal at
tention in the immediate future. He
has always taken great interest in
this farm and looks forward to the
time he will now be at liberty to spend
there az period of recreation.

Head On Collision on M. C. R. R

By mistake on the part of some
employe of the Maine Central two
trains came together, head -on, at a
curve in the track about half way be-
tween Waterville bridge and West
Benton station, yesterday afternoon,
and Frank Belanger of Brewer, aged
25 years, is dead and Chester Haynes
of Norridgewock is lying at the point
of death at the boarding house of
John Proctor on Water street with
his nose broken 30 that there is moth
ing of it left, one eye gone and his
skull and upper jaw fractured. For
rolling stock there were two monster
locomotives and Is cars smashed to
pieces and several others damaged.
Late last night, Fireman Haynes
was visited by the doctors and pro-
nounced as resting as well as could be
expected. But it is not expected that
he will survive. His home is in Nor
ridgewock and he is 10 years of age.
His father, William H. Haynes was
expected to arrive by team during
the night.

The Somerset reporter., 1907-10-03

The Democrats of the State are thus
earlv very much disturbed in regard
10 the matter and material that shall
enter into the next platform of their
marty; and anything but harmony
avists in the ranks of this ancient
Marty. Some of the bold and aggres-
sive leaders-and most of the party
organs-say frankly that the platform
must pronounce clearly for resubmis-
sion and license. This does not meet
with favor among the temperance
Democrats-and there are many such
who do not want their party to come
ont fat footed for rum. They are
willing to vote for the resubmission
Of the liquor question to the people,
but are not ready to favor license
law. But these latter will be in a
small minority when the day of the
nominating convention comes around.
We expect the platform will declare
unmistakably for resubmission and
license.
And right here we might as well
state that there are thousands of Re-
publicans in the State who are also
for resubmission, but not for the same
purpose that actuates the Democrats.
These Republicans believe that the
time is here when the people should
be given another opportunity to ex-
press themselves upon this vital ques-
ton, and If it is resnbmitted the
voters of the State will pronounce
more emphatically than ever In favor
Of the prohibitory law, thus settling
the question for at least twenty years.
But while thus believing, these Re-
pubhcans will not be found marching
under the rum banner or standing on
the rum platform of the Democratic
party that declares itself in favor of
resubmission for the sole purpose of
securing a license law. The Republi-
can party must itself provide a way
in which these loyal voters may ex-
press themselves.
And then, again, silly proposition
has been injected into this matter
that the people will soon have an op-
portunity to vote on this question
under the referendum, which is sure
to be adopted. A child in the primary
class in civil government will tell you
that this cannot be done. The initia-
tive and referendum law, adopted by
the last legislature is confined in it's
action to the statutes alone, and under
its plain provisions no part of the con-
silly idea need not be discussed.

Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Rice of this

Final Contract Awarded.
Builders of the Municipal Building
Settled Upon.

u inc municipal buuQluR
Settled Upon.
A contract for the superstructure
of the Municipal Building, exclusive
of the heating, plumbing and lighting,
has been concluded between the
building committee and Smith &
Rumery, Portland contracting firm,
for $4,000. This firm has built many
large buildings in recent years, among
them the Lafayette and the Congress
Square hotels in Portland, and the D.
K. E. Chapter house at Brunswick.
Herbert L. SWEET of this place was
chairman of the building committee
of the Bowdoin College fraternity and
his knowledge of the work done by
Smith & Rumery leads him to con-
gratulate the building committee of
this place on their selection for the
Skowhegan Municipal Building. They
are favorably reported by those who
have had business dealings with them.
1t is expected that the Skowhegan
Granite Works will finish their part
of the work SO that Smith & Rumery
can begin on the superstructure very
soon. They propose to put in the
basement cross walls this fall and
such portion of the first floor as will
permit them to cover in the work at
this point to fully protect it during
the coming winter. About the LIST of
April operations will be resumed and
the building will be finally completed
early in the fall of 1908. 1t would be
possible to continue work through
the present winter, but brick and
masonry cannot be as thoroughly
done in cold weather, and as the
date of the final closing of the con-
tract had been so much delayed, the
building committee did not feel war
ranted in ordering the work forward
in the unfavorable winter weather.
