The G.. NJ. YOumans Lumber COM
pany has just completed a fine new
Office building on their property on
south Main street. The old office
which served the company for so
many years, was moved off last sum-
mer and a force of carpenters have
been busy ever since. The main Of
fee is a commodious one, with a pri-
vate office off of that for Agent John
son The interior Is finished in
stained oak, with fixtures to match,
the whole giving a most artistic eff
feet. Both the company and Mr..

their enterprise.
The Dupont Powder company has a
man at work at the state experiment
farm at Cottonwood, blowing with
dynamite" the company is supplying
the explosive, and the man to operate
the work, their intent being to find
what can be done in the way of
breaking up the ground with powder
in that part of the state, and whether
it can be done practically at a cost
which will make such a method OF
deep blowing one which is likely to
become the one in general use. The
dry farming operations, which are
being generally used to win the wes-

an engine, or unlimited number Of
horses to pull them have been the
means used for deep breaking up to
the present, but the Cottonwood ex-
pertinent is to attempt to change this
method if not too expensive.
We observe that the County Com
missioners are again advertising for
bids for some one to run the poor
farm. In this connection we wish to

our ears the present management has
been the best the poor farm has ever
had and we can hardly see how any
one can afford to take the executive
end Of the job and give satisfaction
at the price the county is paying for
it. Under present conditions it must
be particularly hard and that Mr.. and
Mrs Ammons have succeeded in dc
ing so is certainly to their credit.
Rrookingc county can certainly afford
