DISSATISFACTION over Postoffioe Site.

The decision of the treasury depart
ment Of the United States in choosing
the site opposite the City building for
the new federal building is meeting
with much disfavor and protest by thu
business men. The matter is being TAX
en- up by the authorities at Washing
ton and many letters are being sent to
DIR. George Otis Smith, director of the
United States geological survey, who
is a resident of Skowhegan, TO see
what influence he can have in holding
up this deal. The Board of Trade will
take the matter up at a public meeting,
next Friday night. and thoroughly dis
cuss the situation. The business men
claim that the site chosen is not the one
most satisfactory to the people. They
are especially indignant in view of a
statement that is understood to have
been made to a Skowhegan business
man, less than a week ago by Mr.. Hills,
a representative from the treasury de-
partment who passed several weeks
here. receiving bids for a sit, when he
said that no lot across the railroad
track should be selected for the site.
The first representative here from the
treasury department stated while here
that he never should recommend lot
across the track. This protest has be-
come quite general

1t is reported that the Government at

Dear Sir,

Dear Slr,
Please allow me space for the following
1t was with the greatest surprise that [
saw in the est. Croix Avis" of Saturday the
18th inst. that Dr.. LongieId Smith had
published a dissension over the ploughing
at Sion Farm.
| shall rot further dwell on who is right,
but only remark that DR.. Longtield Smith
not being a practical planter, he can not
have very great qualifications to Judge about
p~lou9hing. But what | want to complain
of is that it appears to me quite improper
that because a discussion has arisen about
the %ploughiu- done, and especially after
that discussion has been settled, then to put
the party concerned in the piilory and fur
hermore demand an apology. 1t can GER
tainly not be for the benefit of the Motor
plough and will surely in the future prevent
many from making use of the plough when
one is liable to such assaults. 1t appears
TO me that there is Il tendency towards
apologies, it IS not 50 long since someone
was called upon to apologize for an express
sion, which he had let fall at an Agricultural
Meeting. Disagreements about pIou8hing
have nothing to 90 with the public or .'St.
Croix Avis, but should be settled by the
Plough Committee and eventually brought
forward at an Agricultural Meeting. 1t is
quite evident that the manner in which the
Motor-plough ut present does the ~pIoughing
very often will cause disagl eements, as all
the small pieces of land which the plough
leaves unploughed will always be Judged in
different ways. Besides it is claimed that
these bits of land cannot be pIoughed unless
the Motor-plough travels on the land a.
ready ploughed | suppose it is likewise
with the bulls that draw the estates ploughs.
These small pieces may easily be avoided
by atfording the Motor plough sufficient
land on which to mouBuvre.

WATER CONDITIONS

Few Days Longer-Pump Repairs
Have Arrived.

The. pleasing information was CIV
en- out Tuesday by Mayor Ded-
man that the water supply of the city
was much improved, and that the re-
strictions regarding the sprinkling
have, in measure, been removed,
Mayor Dednian stated, however, that
these restrictions would not likely re,
main off If there was not degree of
prudence excl cised in the use of wa,
ter. 8
The supply is much improved on
account of the ready response of the
people to the request of few days
ago to be economical in the use of
water, and the information is also
given out that a portion of the re-
pairs of the disabled pump has been
received and is being put in position,
and that within short time both
pumps will be in working order.
During the extremely dry weather
of the past month there has been al
most double the ordinary amount of
water used.
Mayor Dedmsn spoke very, kindly
of the cooperation Of the water con.
sumers, and said he found only a
very few who were not willing to
comply with every restriction Or re-
quest made. He further called atten-
tion to the strong probability Of a
most disastrous fire on the night Of
the Bruce Cochran fire If the steps to
conserve the supply had not been
made.
The Water B. Light Company has
made every effort possible under the
conditions to take care Of the city
and is to be commended In tho pres
ent case at least.
The conditions that arose in this
case will doubtless serve as warn
ing to all parties.

which will come with the erection
of the handsome new home on the

have not yet been announced, but 1t
is known that many changes are con-
templated Important in the list is
the placing Of the fires on West Sew
epth from Court Square to High
tsreet in underground conduits. 1t is
probable thal the wires all around
Court Square will likely be remov-
ed from the poles and placed under
ground. And maybe for the distance
of a block or two on South Main
street and the block on Garden street
between Seventh and Eighth will
have similar treatment.
The removal Of the wires from the
poles and placing them under the
ground will no. only be decided i'm
provement 20 the appearance Of the
citys main business streets but 1t
will make for the improvement OF
the service. This coupled with the
installation of the drop or electric
signal instead Of the bell system will
place the service in Columbia On a
plane with that of the large rcities.
While nothing is officially announc.
ed it is known that these and other
plans are in contemplation and that
within a very short time the public
will be taken into confidence by the
officials of the company.

ernment breeding farm heer today
Horse breeding is one of the i'm
portant industries of Hungary. The
most noticeable characteristic of an
Hungarian tity 10 the stranger is the
appearance Of the horses on the
streets. EtoE the cabs are two
horse vehicles and the horses would
90 credit IT, many private turnout
in the United States. Militarism is
back of the horse breeding industry,
and the ,Hungarians have done pre-
Cisely what Major General Leonard
Wood would like to Sc done for the
American army
The Government farfm of Mezo.
Eegyes is about $4,000 acres. Nearly
all OF the lard is given over to for
age crops or pasture. The growth
OF forage IS particularly heavy and
its quality very high. There are al
together 2,1O0 horses on the farm
and this is hut one of six sach es-
tablishments in Hungary. The pur-
pose of the institution is to keep up
the quality of the horses bred, and
to improve the cattle, sheep, and
farm stock OF the entire country.
The exhibition was impressive, more
as an effort LIon an enormous scale
to secure practical results in cattle
and horse breeding, than as show
farm of fancy stock.
The horses. are bred for cavalry
use and TO secure a good agricultural
breed. The stations are sent out to
government establishments over the
country and are at the command CT
the farmers. The most important
stations of the Mezohegyes farm are
the English half-bred and the Anglo.
Norman, and the horses are all of
robust appearance and strong bone
