BETTER
ROADS At ONCE
]. C. Breen, of Missouri Girl Mine,
Impresses Necessity of Improved
Highways to Open and Devel-
ope New City Territory.

After having started an effort to
promote an enterprise that would
prove to be an ultimate source of
wealth. not only to Grand Junction.
but to the entire Grand valley, 1t
would be well for citizens of Grand
Junction to consider what a lack of
interest in these things, and espe-
cially in the matter of good roads,
will mean.
Lying southwesterly. essentially
tributary in every sense of the word
to the Grand valley, is a tract of
country, that, even to the most pes
simistic. opens a future so replete in
those facilities for successful agri-
culture that have proven their value
in other parts gof the country, and
to this Grand valley should the trade
from this territory come.
1t is not TO be supposed for a mo-
ment that the prospects of this ter
ritory have been overlooked by those
people who have other interests in
this country, and unless Grand juno
ton and the valley towns will be-
stir themselves, not tomorrow or next
week or next summer, but NOW!
the outlet of this prosperity will flow
to other points where a considerable
amount of the present demands are
supplied. The solution of this is
good roads, and although some fl
nancial assistance will be needed, II
il not our purpose to ask for this,
but to impress the necessity Of solid,
energetic and active interest as our
duty as citizens callsf or

AN ENORMOUS LOAD OF POTATOES RE-
GENTLY HAULED To SKOWHEGAN

Doing big things, having big things
and being a big thing is the idea with
which Belonie Beauchard one of Show
hegans prosperous farmers works.
Mr.. Beauchard beat the record in haul
ing potatoes into the market here last
Friday. With one pair of horses
weighing 1900 pounds, he delivered to
Holt & Hight, the largest potato and
hay dealers in this part of the State,
a load of potatoes that had POI bush
els and the entire weight of the load
was over six tons. The load meant
S20l to the owner which he carried
away in a check from the dealers. The
load was hauled about three miles.
Mr.. Beauchard lives on the A. X. Per
kins farm on the Athens Road, and
came to this place about four years
ago from Aroostook County. He sta
ted Saturday that he could raise po-
tatoes as we'll here as in Aroostock.

ton, and unanimously adopted The
secretary was directed to correspond
with the various fair associations, and
urge premiums of not less than 81, s.,
and $50 for the best lamb shown by
boy or girl of 16 or under. No dis
tinction as to breed, but with separate
classes for pure bred buck, eve and
grade eve lambs. All animals shown
to have been property of the exhibitor
not less than four months.
The report by the legal committee
recommended that the fence law be
amended so that fences to be legal
must constitute effective barriers
against horses, cattle and sheep. This
report was adopted, and the executive
committee directed to take steps to
procure the desired amendment from
the next legislature.

the same as any business.
This was small part of the pota
toes that Mr.. Beauehard raised and
the day following he hauled a load
that had $50 bushels. He raised this
past season 10 acres of spuds and
they yielded him 1000 bushels He
used eight tons of fertilizer on this
piece of potatoes. He not only raises
potatoes for he has now &c head of
young cattle and another year he plans
to have from Is to 20 head of dairy
COWS and he will then not only be a
benefit to the potato world, but to the
Skowhegan Jersey creamery where he
will deliver his cream. He cuts rs
tons of hay, and at present has IL
hogs He raises his own grain and is
thereby able to make a profit on his
stock. He raised 10 acres of India
wheat last year and 300 bushels of
oats.
