In speaking of the recent meetings of
the Board of State Assessors in An
droscoggin and Sagadahoc counties
Secretary Plummcr of the board stated
" sterday that the valuations IN both
counties We're showing up Well A no
ticeable feature however in connect ION
with the trip was the number of wood
lots which Were being stripped by the
portable sawmills, there being in one
town six of these mills in operation
ard where the timber is cut OFF in This
way it usually raises havoc with the
younger growth which ought to be pro
tected. A great deal of Sapling pine is
secured in this way. and while the lsrg-
CT part of it is used for box stuff there
is also not Il small quantity that comes
ont clear and finds ready sale as finish
lumber Mr.. Plummer also said that
there was a marked increase in potato
culture in the counties, the crop this
year being an exceptionally fine one
and that the growers We're selling po-
tatoes at 80 cents per bushel with
good demand.

The Virginian, one of the most inter-
esting plays of the west, has been called
an American classic, the author, Owen
Wister's success with the novel of the
same name ran it into many editions and
afterwards arranged it for stage produce
ton, in connection with Kirke La Shelle,
it contains all the dramatic comedy and
romantic episodes of the book with all
its realistic features and picturesque en-
vironment.
The dramatic form has proved as great
ly popular as the book and its several
years of production have been of success.
1t is play that reaches the heart; it
is true, it is graphic and romantic and
and brings the vast west with its heroes,
its unique personality and codes nearer
to US.
The production this season by the Kirke
La Shelle company contains many of che
original cast headed by w. S. Hart as

w.. f. & G. ROAD INSPECTED.

W., +. 4 &. ROAD INSPECTED.
H. K. Pratt, Engineer of Maintenance
of Way of w. M. X. r., together with
Mr.. C. C. Waters, Secretary Of the Com
pany, Mr. H. r. Carmichael, Engineer in
charge, and Mr.. l.. X. Waesche made an
inspection last week of the w., F. & G.
road bed from Frederick to Thurmont,
with the view of having the line opened
for general freight traffic to be moved
from W. M. to Frederick.
MIR. Pratt made thorough and critical
inspection, and with few minor add
tons to be made to some of the bridges
and culverts between LeWistOwn and
Frederick, and additional ballast to be
placed at few points, he pronounced the
line very good. The line from Lewistown
to Catoctm he passed as being first
class, ana fine in every particular. Mr..
Pratt said it was well built and well laid
out but that ballast should be put on at
an early date in order to hold it in pro-
per and good shape.
The Monocacy Valley was. in the re-
port, said to be in bad condito and not
in shape for heavy traffic to pass over
until new ties were placed in the bed in
liberal quantities and the old badly worn
rails replaced with others. The report
as to the conditions existing in the M. v.
did not come as a surprise to those who
were familiar with it and who had fore
sight enough about them to see that it
required liberal fixing before W. M. traf-
tic would bt allowed to move over it. 1t
was utter neglect and lack of manage
ment on the part of those who have been
engineering the destinies of the system
that the matter stands as it does today,
for had the M. V. been placed in proper
shape las it could have been done) while
the Mcpherson and Thropp "hold ups"
were on, when the rails had been con-
nected at Catoctin the road would have
been ready for operation.
practical railroad man remarked a
few days ago 1.-The w., F. & G. has lost
at least $1,000 in freight alone, by it's
dilly dallying in getting the M. V. in
shape, while they were delayed in July
and August at Catoctin."
The w., F. & G. claim to have some
economists on their Board of Directors,
but economy of the kind referred to is
like Saving at the spigot and letting it
run out at the bung hole"
