ARoosrooK POTATO SHIPPERS
Plan Mutual Insurance Company and
Discuss Other Matters.

Houlton, Me-, Dec. 10-A large and en-
thusiastic meeting of the Aroostook Po-
tato Shippers Association was recently
held at Presque Isle. at which time sew
eral important matters were discussed
in the shipping interests. Among others
was that of the association forming a
Mutual Fire Insurance Co. and carrying
its own fire risks on potato warehouses
and contents. thereby doing away with
one of the most expensive items in the
conduct of the business, the present ex-
cessive rates being out of al! proportion
to losses. as shown by records for the
past 25 years, which show a remarkably
low percentage of loss. A committee was
appointed and empowered by the asso-
citation to employ expert service and sub
nit report at a future meeting.
Other matters taken up were in rela-
ton to the unnecessary restrictions plac-
ed upon shippers by the transportation
companies in the handling of cars for
winter service, and also calling for united
action in connection with the Western
associations which are working with the
view of having a decision from the In
tCrStaIS commerce COMMISSION WHeTtDS
it is believed that the transportation COM
parties will be required to furnish an ad-
equate number of suitable cars for the
potato business, as they are obliged to do
this for other classes of freight and
which is already done in part by the
Canadian Pacific management.
Another meeting is to be called in the
near future and among other matters
will be an expression from the assccia-
tion as to the question of further aid and
favors being granted by the State to the
Bangor & Aroostook Railroad. subject
now being agtated by representatives of
that line and around which considerable
interest centers.
The association now numbers practi-
cally every shipper in the county, is rep
resented in every town. is fairly alive to
it's own interest and will also need to be
reckoned with in any important question
affecting the future growth and develop
ment of Aroostook county.

Fred f. Hilton of Augusta bought

When he inquired the price for snip

was told that it would cost just sly.
Mr. Coombs heard of the incident ana
offered to drive the car down for 80.
He started yesterday morning, but ne
did not reckon on the Maine and New

no overcoat on and his only protecfloh

JAPAN FULLY COMMITTED
To German Occupation Of Kiao Chou,
Germany Says.

Berlin, Dec. 1.-THE foreign office
today called attention to statements
published in certain American news
papers intending to minimize the i'm
Ortance of the agreement between
Japan and Germany respecting Far
Eastern questions. 1t was pointed out
that Japan's adherence to the Anglo
German agreement is of a character
eGually broad as that of the instrument
itself This adherence took the form of
a note addressed to the German and
British diplomatic representatives at
Toxic. dated Oct. 20. 1900, in which the
Anglo German agreements were quoted
verbally. The preamble to the agree
ment, which sets forth a definition of
the purpose thereof in these words, ito
maintain their right under existing
treaties was included in the Japan
csc note. Germany understands this as
guaranteeing her rights in kiaochou,
and she considers that Japan is fully
committed to her occupation of this
territory.
