COlfaX Likes Paving.

w. S. Mood of Colfax, was here yes
terday. Asked as to paved streets
he said: THE people would not think
of giving them up and going back to
their macadam like you now have in
Moscow The only complaint is that
the kind of paving we have is some
times slippery, but that objection does
not stand in the way of the opinion
of paving. We do not know whether
or not we got the best kind, and there
are kinds that are not slippery. but
we know that we like what we got
so well that we would not think of
having it taken up and the old maca-
dam streets back again.

pride the fact that Colfax has fine

THE SEVEN GOVERNORS.

On Saturday the Star-Mirror publish
ed the joint proclamation of seven gov
errors of the northwestern states.
The primary object is to summon
a convention of representatives from
the seven states to meet at Seattle
between June 5 and 8, to plan a
campaign and suggest legislation to
stimulate more rapid development of
these States and to stem the tide
of emigration to Canada" Does this
mean emigration from these seven
states to Canada? Scarcely; there have
been a few misguided ones who have
left Latah county for Canada, but be-
fore long we expect them back One
or two Canadian winters have sufficed
to turn back most of the sufferers from
~oiher localities and some from this, to
the home whence they started. What
can you do with a climate" one of
them expressed himself, where your
wheat froze in August in the field,
where your spring frOze up in October,
the creek in November, the well at the
beginning of December, after which
you had to thaw out snow and ice for
drinking water for the family and
the stock till March was past again.
The sight of the crowded elevators, |
the loaded freight cars, the bursting |
warehouse, the froZenin steam |
beat, all filled with last seasons |
wheat crop-a sight to be met in
one form or the other along all the
Canadian railroads of the northwest
has been very instructive as well
as very distressing.
But the point of the seven governors
is this: How best can the restless
millions in the older states and the
still more restless Europeans be adj
vised of the opportunities calling to
them in these northwestern states,
and can they be assisted to make the
change?
The governors urge on their con-
stituents large attendance at Seat
tie at the conference and hearty and
energetic cooperation, first in formu-
lating plans, and, second, in eXecut
ing them. {
There are no discoveries to be made, '
and no royal road TO results can be /
laid out. s
We shall go back to first prin- |
ciples. Truthfulness in describing :
and effective advertising. And to
Canadian methods in carrying the lit
erature and the living voice of trust

able or intending immigrants, and.
peter than all, such honesty and
in meeting and welcoming

MT. DESERT CORRESPONDENCE.

MANsET, Oct. 3, 1912 A shocking shooting
affair occurred here this afternoon, when
Joseph West was shot by John Crowell at close
range, the charge entering at the mouth and
shooting one side of the head nearly off. Both
were under the influence of liquor. The
shooting was at the house of Mr.. Crowell, who
lives alone and follows motor boat fishing dur
ing the summer months. The particulars of
the shooting as nearly as can be ascertained
are that Mr.. West, who is powerful man and
in an ugly mood when under the influence of
liquor, went to the Crowell house and demand
ed some liquor, and when told he could not
have any put up fight and catching up a
large carving knife started to do up Mr.. Cro-
well, who ran for his gun and put in shell
and fired, killing West instantly. The shoot
ing occurred in rear room, although there
seems to have been three shots fired; one
through front door and another through the
side of the house and there were three empty
shells on the floor and loaded shell in the
gun; but Crowell says he does not remember
of firing but once, but said ne had four
loaded shells on a stand. After the shoot
ing he went to William Wards store,
which is only short distance away. and said
he had shot Joe West and asked that doctor
be called. DR.. Phillips responded in a short
time, but life was extinct. The coroner was
sum moned, and with the assistance of Capt.W.
R. Keene, who is an Associated Press CORE
spondent for this section, removed the re-
mains to S. S. Kings undertaking rooms. Off
Ger Fernald arrested Mr.. Crowell, together
with Frank Perry and VIM. Ocorin, who it is
said were present or near by at the time of the
shooting, and took them by blackboard to Ellis
worth where they were placed in the Jail. Mr..
West was man about fifty years of age and
unmarried and has a brother living at this
place. Mr.. Crowell is about fifty five years of
age and fol eigner. He came to this place a
number of years age and has no relatives as
far as we know.
Mrs Robert Squirting, who has been very
sick for some time. is improving.
Capt. Robert Newman, one of our Oldest
citizens who is about 80 years Of age, is very
sick and not expected to live.
Mrs. Peter Moore has gone to Boston to
spend the winter.
Capt. W. R. Keene, who has just returned
from Boston and vicinity, reports that he
stopped off at Camden and took an automobile
trip out to his old home towns Of Lincolnville,
Searsmont and as far as Woodman's Mills, call

lican bolt

made to secure votes from people generally,
the results shows that practically none but
former Republicans Joined the Roosevelt
movement.
1.-THE decisive victory of Taft and Hedges
over Roosevelt and Straus is demonstration
that the Republicans of New York desired the
denomination of President Taft and the dele
gates from the State properly expressed the
preference of the Republicans when large
majority Of them voted for Taft at Chicago"

PORTLAND, Me-, Nov. 5. Returns from 81
additional Aroostook county towns made con-

ed to seriously threaten the Democratic plu.
rality for Names six electors. The totals at
that hour were: Roosevelt, AZ, 725; Taft, 26, las
and Wilson, 50,360.
For the first time since the Civil War Maiae
Democrats today helped toward the election OF
Democratic president, if press returns re.

President Taft's plurality in 1903 was 81 ,5s4.

gressive complexion and only one remained in
the Republican column.

sive party.
With the exception of 1880, the total vote of
