BOND ISSUE LIMIT

It is regarded as the first step neces-
sary to tho construction Of Il system

Under the present constitution. the
bond issue limit is $750,0OO, which
also includes school bonds. THIS sum
is regarded as rldiculously small
when Onio expects to have a grand
duplicate of more than $4,000 100000
The proposal has been made by the
proponents Of good roads to have the
bond Issue made l per cent of the
grand duplicate. 1t is argued as a
matter of fact a bond issue would
probably not be needed for any other
purpose than good roads.
Under the general plan outlined by
the good roads federation, for a sys-
TEN of iEtercounty roads connecting
every county seat, the state would
pay one-half the cost and the county,
township and property owners the
other hall Thus If the state voted
to issue $50,000,000 bonds It would
mean $1OO0OO,OOO for good roads at
one jump
The federation proposes to conduct
campaign Of education on the good
roads question between now and next
January with the vi,,w that whatever
sentiment there mny be against a
large issuance of bonds by the state
may be overcome.

Deterioration In Cotton Crop.

New Orleans, Aug. 31.-Opiulon In
the cotton market is more divided
than usual over the government re-
port on the condition of the crop due
to be published Friday. The Septem-
ber report is looked upon as probably
the most important this season. It is
generally acknowledged that deter.
ioration has taken place since the
last report; the dispute is over how
great the deterioration has been. The
deterioration of the month was due
in a large measure to the drouth

New York, Aug. 31.-In the pres
ence of 1z0O0 spectators Matt Wells,
England's lightweight champion,
made a show of Knockout Brown OF
this city In the much-talked-of 10
round glove battle in the Madison
Square Garden. Referee Charley
White was unable to render de-
cision because Of the restrictions OF
the state boxing commission, but If
he had enjoyed such privilege. his
task would have been easy. Wells
was the class. These few words tell
the story OF Browns defeat
The Englishman knew too much
for the East Slider and quickly
showed II in the first round. Browns
attack, which was incessant though
ineffective, was met with consum-
mate skill Wells made use of the
24-foot ring by employing footwork
that puzzled the New Yorker. The
Briton knew how to duck or sdestep
the famous left-hand wallop upon
which Brown depended, ana then,
coming back swiftly. he shot in cut
ting blows that in the course Of time
drew blood from Browns nose and
mouth and almost closed his right
eye.
Wells on points had every round,
and exploded the theory that Brown
was made Of Championship material
The receipts footed nps more .thaD

will receive about $4,000. Wells bit

Placed Under Arrest.

New York, Aug. S1.-Frank ]. Dor
Ian, for ~ years a cashier of the
Manhattan hotel, was arraigned by
Magistrate Breen on a charge of EN-
bezzlement. The affidavit specifies
the sum of 1922. The affidavit re-
cites that a guest of the hotel turned
in CHECK for 1922 in payment of his
bill. 1t is then alleged that Dorian
took 1922 in cash from the cash
drawer and put the check In the
drawer in its stead. Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Minton asked Magis-
trate Breen TO fix bail at $4,000. He
said that while the AMOUNT specified
was only 1929. he understood that
the defendent had been accused OF
tn eembezzlement of $4,000 and had
confessed to embezzlement OF about
that amount. After some discussion
Magistrate Breen fixed the bail at
$4,000.

Owing to the stage of The Skowhegan

scenic production will be presented

program.
I call attention to the working staff
of six men carried by the company

cal effects. This will give you an
adequate idea of the extent of this pro-
duction, which is without doubt the
largest ever produced in Skowhegan.
