After the continuation of several
minor civil cases, Judge William. in
the Third district court, Friday, gave
attention to liquor cases. In the case
of liquors and vessels seized at the
home of Frank Lavalette, Chief
Bransfield and Constable John Rear
don testified as to the liquors being
found and taken away There was
no claimant and the liquors were de-
clared forfeited to the state and or
dered destroyed.
Thomas E. Brown, sergeant of DO
lice, and Chief Bransfiefd testified to
the seizure of liquors at the store of
John Gencarilla. There was no one
to answer the complaint against the
liquors and they were forfeited to the
state for destruction.
After the testimony of Chief
Bransfeld and Sergeant Brown, like
disposition was made of liquors seized
at the residence of Herbert w. Thonp-
son. which was represented to contain
kitchen barroom.
The case against James and Ralph
w. Lawton, charged with keeping IL
quor for SALE was tried. The witnesses
were Chief Bransfield Sergeant Brown,
Policemen West and Mitchell and
Constable Albert York. The defend
ants introduced no testimony They
were adjudged guilty and each was
sentenced to Washington county Jail
for ten days, and to pay a fine of $40
and costs. An appeal was taken and
bonds furnished for appearance at the
September term of superior court.

MICA FIELD.
Ridsebury Rock Ledge Might Prove
Profitable Venture if Mined.

without the borders of Ridgebury
village there is a ledge of rock COM
posed chiefly of a micaceous deposit
The indications of mica in this vicin-
ity are not altogether a rare discov-
cry for there are many of these quar-
ries in this part Of the country. The
location of this mica bed is only a
short distance from the village proper
The exact quantity contained in this
particular ledge cannot be correctly
determined unless more closely in
spected. II outward appearances have
any bearing on what might be found
farther in the depths of earth there
would undoubtedly be ample material
disclosed to make 1t an object for pros
pectors to engage in developing what
might prove to be a mine Of import
ance. There is always a demand for
this quality of mineral as the use of
the mica is valuable for many pur-
poses and after a thorough investiga-
ton made on this property. if the
amount found sheuld prove to be suf-
1cient TO warrant further operations
the money invested would in return
bring In a fair profit to the specula-
tor. There is only Circumstance where
an industry of this kind was attempted
in that locality and that is said TO be
in the vicinity of Lime Stone district,

for fire or other purposes. during the
hours of the day when the regular

the present standpipe is much toe
small.
In October 1908, the standpipe was
painted inside and outside, and while
| it was out of use water pressure was
maintained by constant pumping, and
no reserve was available for fire pur-
poses or for accident to the system
Next year it will be necessary to re-
pair the old standpipe and in view OF
the large additional fire protection, the
water department decided upon this
additional storage, to avoid the dam
age from a shortage of water while
this work is being done.

ly issued a decree offering concessions
 for packing companies" said Mir.
 Schindelar yesterday at the Belmont
 There was some opposition to the
 scheme, but Senhor Milo Pecanha
 knows what he is about. He is only
 Az or 43 years old, and the story of his
 life would read like that of one of
 your great men. His father was a
 poor schoOlmaster in Rio. and the son
 had to work for the greater part of his
 education. He studied law. then went
 into public life, and when he was elect
 ed vice president and president of the
 senate he was governor of the state of
 Rio de Janeiro.
 The president and many Brazilians
 feel that attention has been paid to the cultivation of coffee and to the gath ering of rubber to the detriment of other branches of agriculture. The gov ernment has awakened to the fact that other things can be raised in the coun- try, and it has been casting about for the best means of widening it's agricul- tural field. The decree promulgated by the president divides Brazil into three territories for the purpose of doing business-the north, represented by Pernambuco and Bahia; center. repre- scented by Rio and Santoz, and south by Porto Alegre and Rio Grande do Sul The government wishes companies to establish packing houses in these places, and offers to give the privilege of exemption from duty of all materi als imported. It also offers to sub vention those companies that would put on steamers carrying their pro- ducts not only to other countries but to other states of Brazil. I think the decree mentions d subsidy of as much as s50,0O0 a year for a single steamer.
 According to the government ex- perts who have studied it out the packing house offers the quickest and at the same time the most substantial means for developing the country az Something is needed to awaken the natives in the interior Some Canadians who went to Minas Geraes recently with me were amazed :, 1t the laZiness of the people and the of vegetable growth every where. If these people can be got to work it will mean wonders to the de- yelopment of Brazil The government feels that the beef packing industry would compel the spread of agricul- -ure among them. for not only would l demand for cattle arise. but the packers would demand superior cattle, and to get them they would undertake -o see that the people were educated 10 the possibilities of the oil in order -o raise the fodder that would produce the best cattle New York Sun.
