Manager Charles Chuta OF the local
branch of the Portland Packing com
pany is distributing the pay checks
TO the patrons of the institution as
fast as he can persuade them to ac
cept. The checks read on the face
under the sum specified for corn de-
livered. " Mr.. Chute insists that the
settlement has nothing TO do with any
claim that the growers make for the
corn destroyed by frost through fail
ure of the Portland Packing Co. to
order it delivered. Some of the grow
ers are pretty leery about accepting
the checks, because in addition to in
dorsing that instrument, they are also
obliged to sign receipt in book
at the end of their ledger account

He is now sought after by people from
the surrounding towns for aid in their

presumed that the location of these
trunk lines are considered anywhere
near perfect, or could not be greatly
improved. Although in the western
tinues through Falmouth Foreside,
change them materially. In the east
ern, northern and possibly some Of
the central sections, no doubt they
might be materially improved without
increasing the mileage.
THE PRIMARY ROADS, /.
Kittery to Old Town.
The first and most important from
Kittery to Old Town in the following
sections:
l. From Kittery this road would
lead through York Harbor, Ogunquit,
Wells, Kennebunk, Biddeford, Saco
to Portland, The distance is 80 miles,
This is the great gateway to the
state from the West and South and
is probably travelled more than any
other road in the state, and on the
, whole it is the poorest. To one com
ing from Boston over the beautiful
roads of Massachusetts and the 10
miles in New Hampshire, the contrast
is most pronounced. To the visitor
the first impression of our state is
very unfavorable and to a citizen of
this state most humiliating. 1t
seems to the visitor he is really 60
ing into the wilderness. There is
however, about 10 miles of good road,
but it is in such short sections that
it is hardly noticeable.
2. From Portland the route con-
tinues through Falmouth Foresde
Yarmouth, Freeport to Brunswick
81 miles. There connection would
be made for Bath and the Western
coast towns.
3. From Brunswick through Tops
ham, Bowdoinham, Richmond, South
Gardiner, Gardiner, Hallowell, Au-
gusta, Vassalboro. Winslow, to
Waterville-53 miles. Connection
would be made here with the sec
ondary line to Skowhegan and Bing-
ham.

Weather was UnfavOrab|e
for Outdoor Work for
Large Part Of Time
(By Associated Press,)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 7-Rath
or unpromising weather in the corn
and wheat growing states prevailed
during October, according to the ma
tional monthly weather bulletin issued
today. In the principal corn and win
ter wheat growing states, there was
general excess of cloudy weather,
which delayed fall seeding to some ex
tent and interfered somewhat with
the curing and gathering of the corn
crop, especially in portions of the
Ohio valley.
No killing frost occurred until too
late to cause any material damage and
warm weather was partly
cloudy and too wet at times for out
door work. No severe frosts were
general until toward the latter part
of the month.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Secretary
Wilson has stated that every impor-
tant meteorological! change that oc-
CURED in the United States during
the year was forecasted by the wealth
er bureau long in advance. Storm
warnings to lake. sea coast and West
Indian stations, and frost warnings
for the sugar. trucking, tobacco, fruit
and cranberry regions were issued
whenever conditions justified These
warnings were successful. Particular
attention was given to the hurri-
canes of September and October 1910
and number of testimonials COM
mending the work of the bureau ir
connection Herewith were received.
The warnings of the approach of cold
waves resulted in the saving of
growing crops and prevented injury
to many shipments of perishable
goods and to farm stock.
Owing to a large deficiency in the
of the year over con-
siderable portion of the country.
there was an absence of great floods.

February and March. heavy winter

floods, with resultant damage, esti-
mated at $1,75O,0o0. In July and Oc-
tober the smaller tributaries of the |
Ohio river were in flood as a result of
reavy local rains. The damage to
crops and other interests amounted
to about $5.5o0,0O0.

Letter Received by Congress-
man ESCh Of Wisconsin
From Curtis
Proposed Conference Of
ii|IerS and Government
Officials Cancelled
tBy Associated Press.)

LACROSSE, Wis, Nov. 1.-THE Of
fetal Interpretation from the treas.
ury department of the mooted pro-
vision of the federal law regulating
the importation of wheat to be man
ufactured into flour for export, as
given out by J. Curtis, the assistant
secretary, is gratifying to the flour
manufacturers of the northwest. A
large delegation of Minneapolis mill
ers had made an appointment with
the treasury officials at Washington
to discuss the 1909 tariff law as it
touched on this point. The ruling,
however,, contains almost everything
the mi!lsrs wanted and the confer
ence will not be necessary. The find
ing was sent to Congressman, Esch
and the Listman Milling company OF
this city. ,-... I:
Duty Must BE Paid.
In his ruling, Assistant Secretary
Curtis says: wheat may be i'm
ported, the duty paid thereon, and
the flour and by-products therefrom
exported with the benefit of draw
back equal to 80 per cent of the duty
paid under section rs of the tariff act
# August, 1909. In operating under
this section it is not necessary to
bond the mill, but the duties must
be paid on the wheat imported. The
wheat may be milled in conjunction
with domestic wheat and the draw
back obtained. The amount of duty
paid, less one per cent, which is re.
tanned by the government, is distrib-
uted to the flour and byproducts &C.
cording to the relative value thereof.
When the flour and all products are
exported the entire SO per cent of the
duty is refunded. If the flour alone
is exported, the byproducts retained
in this country, only portion of the
duty paid is refunded, the amount re-
funded depending upon the relative
values of the flour and several BY
products.
May Be MiIled in Bond.
Wheat may also be imported and
milled in bond, section % of the tariff
act of August 5, 1909 In this case no
duty is paid on the imported wheat,
but the mill must be bonded and the
milling done under government su-
pervision. A storekeeper should be
a:ovided and the expenses would have
to be betrayed by the party interested
and not by the government"
Must Export Flour.
The decision further says: IF the
wheat is milled in bond under the law
the flour must be exported. The BY
products. however, may be withdrawn
for consumption in this country, by
the payment of dutyAequal to that
which would have been assessed had
such products been imported from a
foreign country"
MINNEAPOLIS. Nov. 7-Reports
from Lacrosse, Wis, that Congress-
man Esch has informed the Lacrosse
company that a drawback of SO per
cent will be allowed on milling Ca ;
madam wheat were said today by
James C. Andrews, manager of the To-
cal flour mill, to reflect only the rul-
ing that Minneapolis miliers obtained
two years ago.
"A feature of the Interpretation OF
the drawback proviion by the trea-
ury department is the provision that
by paying such um as will represent
the amount that would be paid if the
product had been imported. these by
products may be sold in this country
instead"

Pekin is endangered. Foreigners
