PAYMENTS
PASSED Up

In resolutions that bore the ear
marks of baving been prepared in
the Spokesman-Review Office a
meeting at Elks' temple last night
demanded concrete bridges at
Monroe street and Olive avenue,
capped City Engineer Ralston for
not pushing along the plans for
concrete bridges at these river
crossings and requested that the
plans for these bridges proceed i'm
nediately; recommended the en-
ployment of Professor VIM. H.
Burr for exporting the plans to be
prepared by the engineer, in the
interest of economical revision"
of the same, If necessary; urged
vigor and dispatch by the city
council and board of public works
in carrying out these orders, and
concluded by ordering a copy Of
the resolutions served on the vari-
GUS heads of the city government
Only small crowd, which
seemed lost in the large room, was
present and many of these left
before the resolutions were pre-.
snted. N. w. Durham, editor of
tn morning paper, officiated as con-
sulting engineer of the evening.
To those In the audience sincere
ly in favor of concrete bridges the
proceedings sounded we'll enough,
where 1t was taken seriously. In
view of the fact that majority of
the city council have expressed
themselves favorable to concrete
bridges built at not excessive
cost over steel, many wondered
why the occasion for the reprint
fuss and clamor.
The vital question with the city
council, as to how the city Is to
secure satisfactory settlement
with the street railway companies
on the distribution of the bridge
cost before proceeding at all,
was not discussed.
The most effective speech from
the standpoint Of argument was
made by Thomas Maloney of the
federal union, who showed the per-
centage of bridge cost that would
remain at home in the case of
concrete or steel. He estimated
that In concrete bridges Is to 80
per cent. of the cost would re-
main at home, while in the case
of steel he placed the home return
at less than 20 per cent.

AUDITORIUM.

From character in comedy to

but Jessie Shirley takes it this
week as a matter of course. The

You don't lose in attending the
show this week, for there is a bill

For the Republicans to talk about Mr..
Bryan bringing hard times, when they
have been responsible for one of the very
worst panics the nation has ever expert
enced does appear, to say the least, the
height of folly Butte Miner, Dem.
The election is over, but it is worth
while to take exception to the statement
that ''the Republicans have been respon-
sible for one of the very worst panics the
nation has ever experienced. That is
untrue. The so-called panic was confined
to Wall street, and mainly to the pro-
moters of watered stocks. Some inno-
cent people suffered through these stock
gamblers, and lack of confidence caused
a temporary check to business in many
directions. The trouble was mainly with
the gamblers and promoters. There was
no scarcity of money, no failure of crops,
no industrial depression, no soup houses
as under the free trade bill of the Cleve-
land administration. There was merely
a slowing up of the wheels OF industry
until Wall street could recover its equl-
librium; and then came the Presidential
campaign to retard a business revival
until the result of the election became
assured, since which time the return to
normal conditions has been rapid. This
Wall street panic cost dear, no doubt,
but the lesson was worth the price. 1t
has given quietus, for time at least,
to wildcat mining schemes and other
methods for fleeing the innocent in
weston The money that had been going
by thousands into the tills of the bucket
shops and the pockets of promoters has
gone into the national banks and the saw
ings banks, or is seeking sane and safe
investments at home.

President Charles w. Eliot of Har-

something of prohibition in Maine and
knew that the prohibitory law in that
State was "dead failure and that under
prohibition you will always have numer-
GUS illicit places of sale. To be fair and

stated that both under license and no.
license there are numerous illicit places

that Waldo county was Democratic and
but for the use of Republican money the
people would so vote. The answer to
that is a Republican plurality of 9O4.

sued no appeals to voters, and spent no
money. The people of Waldo county
stood up to be counted, and, as usual, are

ADVANCE IN FARM VALUES.

The work of the State assessors shows
that Maine valuation has increased S10,-
600, 900 this year and chairman Pottle in
a recently published interview has testi-
fed to the improved conditions in agri-
culture and the increasing value Of farm
property Recent transfers of real estate
in Fort Fairfield afford notable evidence
of the general rise in farm values in
northern Aroostook within the past few
years. Here are two illustrations: A few
years ago a man bought farm of 275
acres, and buildings, for $4,000 The
buildings alone cost Sc, 500. He recently
sold about one-third of the farm for
house lots and so acres for small farm,
for ST, 800 cash, and would refuse S25,
600 for the balance. From so acres 10000
barrels Of merchantable potatoes were
harvested this year, and other products
were $50 tons of hay, 800 bushels of oats
and 800 bushels of barley. In the same
town & farm was sold three years ago fer
SIS. 600 and the man who bought it sold it
this spring for SIS. OG0 But this advance
in farm values is not confined to Aroos-
took, nor is it due TO the potato crop
alone. 1t is the result Of an increased
knowledge Of the science of agriculture,
through such educational institutions as
the Experiment Station at Orono, the
Grange, and the press; the adoption of
labor saving machinery, the establish
ment Of creameries, etc.
The Journal Of October 22nd published
a statement from Mr.. E A. Carpenter
of Brooks showing 2 net profit in round
numbers of 81, coo from IS acres planted
to potatoes That is 4 per cenC. on S25,
coo Others in the same town raised
more per acre on smaller places. Nothing
is said as to the other crops, which We're
M doubt Of the usual variety ard amount;
or Of the stock and poultry kept, of corn
grown for the cannery. or returns from
the creamery. In Texas, lands which
We're slow of sale at 81. 50 per acre have,
with the successful raising of onions,
advanced to 5000 and $500 per acre and
that amount has been realized from a
single crop. We have seen in the past
the sale Of farms in this county, and else
where in the State, for less than the cost
of the buildings; but it is safe to say that
that will not occur again, and that the
value of Maine farms and the prosperity
fn
crease.
In "Mr. Dooley's" latest comments
upon the Administration S efforts for the
uplift Of the farmer and his family, and
the promotion of their happiness, he
reaches the conclusion that they are hap
pier than most people as it is. A Western
statistician submits some figures which
seem to support that opinion. He tells
us that the value Of farm property in the
seven years following 1900 increased S.,
600 600, 900, an amount more than one
half as large as the total capitalization,
bonds and stocks included. of all the rail
roads in the United States. When it
comes to income the showing is equally
optimistic For the nearly twelve mil
lion persons engaged in agricultural pur-
suits in 1907 there was an average return
of S61S per capita, while the average sal
AIRY of male employees in all industries is
about $500. In 1890 the average income
of the tillers of the soil was S287 per
capita.
