ESMOND

The rapid growth of Esmond suggests
that before many years, even if 1t is not so
now, the preponderance of the population
of Smithfield will be in the Woonasqua-
tucket Valley. Saltwater, Georgiaville
and Esmond also represents the life and
energy of the town to-day. AS natural
course, the capital of the town is likely to
be removed from Greenville to one of the
eastern villages of the town, and this
change will be made not only on account
of the greater number of people there, but
also because of the better means of COM
munication of the valley villages. The
chances Of the Greenvlle electric railway
being built does not grow brighter, in fact
the industrial future of this village at this
ime is not very encouraging.

Water Street, north, were awakened
to discover their handsome new col
ony chicken house solid mass OF
flames and an excited dago working
industriously to check the same. The
supposition is that the swarthy son
of Italy had intended to have Sun
day dinner at the expense OF the
Wynhoff's and while in the act OF
picking out a suitable pullet or cock
erel, dropped lighted match into
the chaff that laid several inches
thick under the roosting places for
scratching purposes and which was
of very rapidly burning nature with
the result that the entire structure
was one mass of flames in less time
than it takes to tell.
One hundred and seventy-five chic
kens, all single comb White Leghorns
of a full blood breed of which Mr..
Wynhoff made a speciality, were con-
sumed in the flames besides all OF his
carpenter tools and large quantity
of winter feed which had been stored
away in the building.
The loss by the conflagration Is
placed by Mr.. Wynhoff at about three
hundred dollars on the chickens, two
hundred dollars on the building and
about 500 on tools and chicken feed,
besides the loss he also
besides this loss he also had orders
ahead for $3.50 worth of setting eggs

Springfield, ILL.,, Nov. 22.-Holding
the new rates adopted by the head
camp of the Modern Woodmen, in

PROVIDES FOR
CORPORATION
COMMISSIONER

Announcement was made today by
Corporation Clerk Babcock, who has
been preparing a law creating a cor
poration department, and also govern
ing corporations in the state, that he
will be ready in a few days to submit
It to the Chamber of Commerce in
Portland for consideration and ap-
proval.
The law is patterned after the Blue
Sky law of Kansas, which has proved
so effective in curbing corporations
In that state, and preventing them
from preying upon the people through
swindling operations. The idea Is to
submit the law to the voters through
the initiative at the next general cleo
ton When the subject was first
taken up the plan was to revise all of
the corporation laws Of the state, but,
for lack of time, this cannot be done.
The reason for making the corpora
tion department a separate depart
ment from the office Of the secretary
Of state is that the secretary Of states
office is now overcrowded with work,
and to handle the corporation busi-
ness Of the state a new and distinct
department is necessary. The bill, In
its rough draft, provides for the Gre
alton Of a corporation commissioner
and gives him power to select such
additional assistants as he may need
He Is to be appointed by the COVER
NOR,
