Good Growth for This Year.

DR.. A. T. Smith brings the REPORT
Err stalk of sweet corn, seven feet
high, grown on his farm, formerly
the Atwood place. 1t was taken from
a field of an acre or more, in part In
dian corn and other varities, which is
in view from the cars of the Somerset
Traction Company after the pass of
the first short ascent, just above Cold
Brook DIR. Smith is much impressed
with the value of corn of all kinds for
feed, as either green or dry fodder.
His custom is to put the corn in
and give it months drying
in the field before storing under
cover.
In feeding it he puts it through a
a cutter, cutting stalks, cobs and
leaves into pieces about inches long.
1t is then fed, once day to all kind
of stock and poultry. AS compared
with hay, DIR. Smith has found this
method of feeding very profitable.

Scenery Car Burned.

Mr.. Clark and the Salvation Nell Com
pany Lose Baggage and Stage Scenery.
Actor w. T. Clark, who will arrive
here and occupy his Lakewood cot
tage after August 10th, sends the fol-
lowing account of some interesting
incidents in which the Salvation Nell
Company, of which he is a member,
has recently participated
While travelling between Butte,
Mont, and Winnipeg, Man, on July
25th, the Mrs. Fiske Co. sustained a
heavy loss by the burning of one of
the baggage cars which contained all
the large and heavy scenes for the
production of "Salvation Nell" The
company were travelling by special
train consisting of two sleeping cars
and two baggage cars and resched
Glendive, Mont, right in the rear Of
the regular through train. While the
members of the company were in the
dining room at the station getting
something to eat, the railroad people
switched the baggage cars on to
another train composed entirely of
mail and baggage and it ran ahead as
the 1st section. The sleeping cars
made up the End section. Scarcely
fifteen miles had been made until the
train came to halt in the midst of
what is known as the "Bad Lands"
Just ahead of the section carrying the
sleepers were all the baggage cars
with the exception of one, 1t was cut
oth nd cd
to the next station, five miles away,
and placed under the water tank.
The sparks from the engine had ig-
nited the woodwork on the front of
the scenery car and it soon reached
the scenery.
Three "hoboesn were stealing
ride and were the first to dis
cover the fire, in fact they had to
fight the fire to keep from burning up
themselves. At last they saw they
could not get the fire out and pulled
the bell and stopped the train. Then
it was discovered that two other cars
were on fire, the baggage car with all
the personal effects of the company
and their wardrobe for the play and
day coach which had been attached to
the rear end of the train. The train
crew and the three hoboes fought the
fire with the water from the ice tank
in the coach and what they could
carry from the engine. The fire on
the last two cars was extinguished,
but they had to cut the scenery car
loose and run five miles with it and
put it underI the tank and food it
with water. But it was too late, the
entire production was loss. The
second baggage car had the front end
burned off but no damage was done
to the contents.
The company left Butte, Mont. at
2 .25 a. m. Sunday and we're bound for
Man, distance of 1888
miles and reached their destination
morning at 10 O'Clock after
one of the most eventful trips ever
made by theatrical company, having
two wrecks, fire and a
food and being laid ont twelve hours
in the "Bad Lands of Montana"

The Democratic press needn't wor-
ry at all about the Republicans get
ting together and closing up the ranks
after the tariff question is settled.
Republicans are usually independent
and intelligent thinkers, and among
such there is always diversity OF
opinion. Democrats would have
some ground for feeling elated had
the Republicans framed tariff bill
eliminating the protective features
under which the business of the coun =
try has gone on from one triumph to
another.

Horse Killed, Took Fright at
Automobile.

An accident which resulted in the
loss Of a horse and considerable in
jury to the vehicle u which he was
attached, occurred in Embden on the
Solon Ferry road, about two O'Clock
Monday. B. c. Berry and Geo. c,
Patten, both Of Embden were driving
from the ferry in a southerly direc-
tion and met touring car, coming at
high speed, on the curve Of the hill
just to the south. The horse was
frightened and turned sharply into
the ditch, throwing both men out. A
broken thill penetrated the side of
the animal, injuring him SO severely
that he was subsequently killed.
Messrs Patten and Berry were shaken
up and somewhat bruised in the over
turn of their vehicle but sustained no
injury of a permanent nature
The automobile, which was occu-
pied by two men, stopped for a mo-
ment and one Of them called out:
"are you hurt?" Mr.. Patten replied
that he could hardly tell and called
attention to the condition of his
horse. The auto at once started up
and went rapidly out OF sight, Mr..
Patten noting its number "472S", but
failing to note the state which could
have been determined by a more
careful observation.
No word of the accident reached
Sheriff Mooers until he was advised
L., !, -.
eight o'clock. He Immediately di-
rected his deputy, c. 3. Adams to
stop all autos at Jackman and to
look for the number above given.
This was done but no machines pas
sed during the night and nothing has
as yet been heard of the much want
ed number 472S.
A touring car, supposed to be the
one wanted, was held, temporarily, at
the Newton house, but this proved to
be New Jersey car, No. 1895, and
was subsequently released by Mr..
Mooers' order. 1t is probable that
the drivers of the machine that did
the damage passed Jackman before
Mr.. Mooers was notified. The dis
tance from Solon Ferry to the Cana
dian line is about IS miles. They had
nearly six hours start and could have
made this distance in half that time.
At house where they stopped for a
lunch, just before the accident, they
said they stated they were on their
way to Canada. 1t is probable they
we're so miles over the line, on their
way to the city of Quebec, before
Sheriff Mooers was notified.
The fact that the autoists got out of
the way so promptly without offering
to settle or making any inquiry as
to their liability for the trouble,
makes the case specially aggravat-
ing one. The authorities purpose to
find the two men who were in car
number 472s if such a thing is posi-
ble

President Eliot's formula for the

forth, lacks the element of common
sense, not to mention the matter of
faith. When people are called to
give up the religion of tine Bible, it is

them a decent substitute.

Last week the Governor and his
Council voted to give the petitioners
asking for the pardon of Paul Castor
and his wife Nina M. Castor, senten-
ced in 1907 to terms of five and four
years respectively at state prison for
larceny of diamonds at Portland,
leave to withdraw. Castor at one
time was located in Lewiston and was
arrested here on the charge of abor-
ton. Earl Dunbar who figured in
the diamond robbery, was at one
time bell boy in Lewiston and serv-
ed time in Androscoggin's County
Jail for larceny.

The Town of Solon to Celebrate
Its Centennial.
Elaborate Exercises Have Been Planned for
the One Hundredth Anniversary.

Elaborate Exercises Have Been Planned for
the One Hundredth Anniversary.
The beautiful town of Solon will
celebrate its Tooth anniversary OH Aug
IS, and at the annual town meeting
500 was voted to help defray ex-
penses.
Many thought this sum was not suf-
ficient, and SO special town meeting
was recently held to raise more mon
ey. The town, however, voted
against the proposition, for the rea-
son that this year $4,000 will be ex-
pended towards the erection of a new
bridge, toward which the county and
State will also contribute. The nee
essary funds for the celebration,
therefore, will be raised by private
subscription and an invitation is ex-
tended to all former residents of the
town, not only to attend the celebra-
ton, but to contribute towards the
fund.
While the program is not entirely
arranged yet, it is known that the
history will be written and read by
Mrs. Jennie Whipple Greene talent
ed lady, who has taken great inter-
est in historical matters. A poem
will be read by Heland Hilton of Som
erville, Mass. The dinner will be
fu rnished by the grange.
The Daughters of the American
Revolution will probably have a
float in the parade, as will other or
ganizations. Mrs. Greene is drilling
large chorus of girls, and their
singing will be one of the features of
| the celebration.

the initial payment on the tract.
They sold their contract this week
to an fastener at a profit of $4,000.
The printers in the Daily Worhl

strenuous measures had to be taken
to keep them at work. Had not the
doors been locked they would have
rushed forth to invest their surplus

AWARDED
BIG APPLE SHOW
BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF Ma
TIONAL APPLE SHOW DESIG-
NATE SPOKANE AS THE NEXT
MEETING PLACE.
Special to the World.

Special to the World.
Spokane. Wash, Feb. 2.-Spokane
was awarded the National Apple show
for 1909 by the board of trustees,
headed by E. F. Cartier Van DisseIl
OF Spokane, at a joint meeting o:
that organization with the Spokane
chamber of commerce and the local
board of control of the 18th National
Irrigation congress. Preliminary
plans were announced for larger
and more complete exhibition of the
king of fruit than the one in this
city last December, when cash prizes
and premiums aggregating $4,000
were awarded to growers in the
United States and Canada.
Orchardists in all parts of the
world will be invited to compete, and
it is expected the prize will represent
more than $50, in addition to tro
plies, cups and special awards. Py
making it international in scope and
character next fall it's educational
value to fruit growers will be in
creased. That is the primary IDEA.
1t is the opinion of experts that wild
er knowledge of apple growing, pack
ing and marketing is necessary, espe-
cially since American growers ore
looking to Europe and the Orient
for trade.
The exposition last December, when
Michael Koran of Wenatchee carried
off the chief honors with a mixed
car of fruit, cost $4,000. One hun
dred and ten thousand persons at
tended. Forty thousand dollars II
cash and premiums of five and ten
acre tracts of land was raised among
business men in Spokane. There was
a deficit of $500, which was prompt
ly met by 100 men subscribing $35
each. The show is not run for prot
it, but for the purpose of populariz-
ing the apple as national fruit. II
is designed to help the growers III
New England, eastern, middle west
ern and southern states where apple
growing is an industry, as much as
the orchardists in the Northwestern
and Pacific states.
