Johns Letter.

There was quite a general response o,
the call for meeting to see what the
town would do for lettering the con-
dition of the high school building, en-
lareing, heating, etc. The first PROPOSE
ton advanced by a few,-but to the
credit of the towns good sense and
judgment only by few-was to tear
down the present structure and build
moro coL.modious one, q twentieth CEN
tury one, like our rich neighbors, with
''crosha trimmin's round the corners,
hard wood floors all done in ile," at an
estimated expense of $4,000. which
means 5000 when all Is said and DONE
Buckfield has not as yet become daft
and in need of guardianship. In feeling
the pulse of the Folks it was found at
once and without further diagnosing the
case that there were no feverish symp-
toms, but the conditions were normal
and decidedly healthful. The citizens
of Buckfield have always been liberal in
relation to their schools, and have not
Jagged behind other towns that have had
no capital from dead millionaires upon
which to draw. To emulate such would
be piece Of blind folly.
The final proposition was accepted al
most or quite unanimously-to put into
suitable and satisfactory condition the
building as 1t stands, and II practicable
move the Lothrop school house, so call
ed, which Is empty and always will be
in its present location, to serve as
room for the primary classes, $4,000 to
be raised for the purpose. We have the
very best of teachers and scholars who
compare favorably with those who get
their education in more pretentious
structures, and that is the one only
essential thing.
We do not IN the least begrudge the
young people the things that make for
their comfort, and which We older ones
| never knew and never missed. II hot
air is more comforting, let them have it,
or hot water bags, and even patent
ventilators If it be more up-to-date than
dropping the windows at the top, de-
vice that the most ordinary teacher can
very quickly learn to do and with neat
ness and dispatch.
At the close OF the meeting the situa-
ton was similar to that in the little
story that Brother Austin told, when a
loan of 500 was asked for. II haven't
a hundred. l have only ten cents"
"Well, lend me the ten cents" He got
it.

Greater Prince Rupert.

Mail advices to the traffic department
of the Grand Trunk Pacific this week,
show that there is great activity, both 10
new building operations and 10 the ad-
vance In real estate in Prince Rupert,
" hich In another two months will COM
plete its first year of existence. 1t Is
nothing unusual for q million feet OF
lumber to be delivered at Prince Rupert
in single week and 1t melts away Al
fast as men and teams can handle 1t. A
number of leaseholders are starting to
build wharves, aud the new concrete
wharf of the British Columbia Govern
ment will also be under way at once.
The Grand Trunk Pacific is planning
further large additions to its already ex'
tensive wharves. The British Columbis
legislature later in the season, which has
just closed. gave Prince Rupert .
charter as . town, with special priv
leges and rights as to the control oil
municipal water and lighting privilege,
not enjoyed BY other cities In British
Columbia. The population OF Prince
Rupert believe that the inauguration o.
their own municipal government instead
of being administered by commissioners
will mean o further stimulus to th'
already phenomenal, IL not magica
growth Of the town.

The Jail Workshop.

A hearing was recently held before
the governor and council on the recon-
mendation of the prison inspectors that
a workshop be built in connection with
the Oxford County Jail. The county
commissioners of Oxford County ap-
peared at the hearing, not to oppose the
building of the workshop, but to ask
that they should not DO required to do it
At the meeting of the
council last week the committee to
whom the matter was referred made
their decision known, reporting
THAT the action of the Board of Prison
and Jail Inspectors is hereby approved,
and recommend that work shop be con-
structed in accordance with same at the
earliest date that can be agreed upon by
said Board of Prison and Jail Inspectors
and the Board of County Commissioners
of said County"

Good Words for the "Patridge."
Maine Woods.)

uOUO WVEuS hVA ShS oSAs6S.
Maine Woods.)
Recently we said few words about
the Hungarian partridge, which is 80
rapidly growing in favor in this country
and which has been "planted" in several
states with good success. But let US
not forget our own partridge, the kingly
ruffed grouse. A gentleman who was
called upon at a Megantic club dinner
not long ago to speak about the ruffed
grouse said that doubtless God might
have made better game bird than the
ruled grouse, but doubtless God never
did. Our readers will probably all or
nearly all of them, agree with us In this
sentiment. OF course, the first problem
with reference to preserving our game
birds of Maine is to do the best We can
for our ruffed grouse. Protect them as
we'll as possible and keep reducing the
bag to reasonable number Of birds 9
day. We allow too many shot now and
it is altogether probable that the open
time Is longer than it ought to be.
There is nothing that Is better worth
considering SO far a. the game interests
are concerned in Maine than the pro.
lection and saving Of our ruffed grouse.

The two or three clear mornings We
have had have been improved by num-
Der of those who have been waiting for a
chance TO get glimpse of the comet,
and in the small hours between 2 and 3
O'Clock they have answered the alarm

and some TO see nothing but clouds. For
about ten days little later in the sea

continue as it has been, We may not get

A little sensation was the outcome Of
tie contest for the Republican nomina-
ton for congress in the First Maine Dis
trict, when Col. Frederick Hale on Mon.
day of last week horse-whipped c..
Thornton Libby, editor OF the Six Towns
Times. The cause was q paragraph
which Editor Libby had published, re-
ferring to Col. Hale's mother, which was
to say the least in bad taste. The assault
took place in the editors Office, and was
not attended with any serious physical
consequences. Editor Libby in an in
terview says that he respects Col. Hale
for defending his mothers honor, but
that he has made no statements that are
not trua.
