History of The sNeyspaper
in Somerset County


The Somerset Argus was established
in Skowhcgan in 1891. in the old Clar-
ion building on Elm Street. William
r, Buchaan, now prominent citizen
of Brockton, Mass, was the first edi
tor and manager. He was succeeded
by W. h. G. Estes and in January 1895
the paper was bought by Bowden &
White. 1t was finally sold to the
Somerset Reporter and while pub
lished by that institution was edited
by Miss Eda X Smith, now Mrs. Ed
ward pegram of Illinois. OF the firm
OF Bowden & White above mentioned
the senior partner afterward gained
prominence in the printing trade. He
was at one time the purchasing agent
of the Curtis Publishing Company
publishers OF the Saturday Evening
Post. The junior partner. Albert
White, is now manager of the book
and job department at the Kennebec
Journal Office in Augusta. The Argus
was discontinued about 1897.
This history of the printing bust
ness in this section would be far from
complete without telling the connec
ton of Simeon M. Sawyer Herewith.
Mr.. Sawyer, Somersets veteran prin
ter, has had such a long connection
with the trade that his "reminiscences,
while they cover in part the period
already spoken of, give much new
matter for our story. He was born in
Skowhogan, October IS. 1871. His
first connection with the business was
as printers devil in the office of Moses
Littlef1eld, which he entered in July
1856, being then Is years of age. Mr.
publican Clarion, which had from six
to eight hundred circulation. Young
SAWYER commenced to set type al
once, and a part of his duty was to
deliver from $50 to 200 copies of the
paper from house to house in Skowhc-
gan village on the day of issue. Al
that time Frank Littleheld, son of the
proprietor, was foreman, Sumner
Boice still living. a resident of Oak
land, was a composition. Mr.. Boicc
just mentioned. worked for Mr. Little
field for many years.
The office in these days occupied
the basement, first and second floor OF
the building, which is still standing
on Elm Street opposite Hotel Coburn.
The structure has been very little
changed, and looks much the same now
as it did in Mr.. Sawyers younger days
Mr.. Sawyer well remembers when the
first rotary press was put into the of
fee. IT was run by hand, but was
considercd a great improvement ovel
previous machines. In the fall of
1860 he went to Augusta in the employ
of Moses Pike, then publisher of the
New Age, but in 1861 he returned to
Skowhegan and went to work fol

CENT RATE RULE
EXPECTED SATURDAY
!. C. C. Decision on Freight Ad-
vance Asked by Railroads
Likely to Be Compromise.

The ) per cent advance freight rate
decision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission will be given out, prob
ably, or Saturday afternoon, according
to the general impression today.
Speculation. having generally taken
it for granted that an increase viii lie
allowed. is now attempting to lCure
cut how much il will be. II Is general
ly believed that the per cent horizon
tai advance asked by the railroads Will
not be sanctioned by the commission.
The decision. on the whole: probably
will be an almost unintelligible mass OF
figures to all but transportation ex-
perts, as il Is expected the commission
will go into detail specifically stating
Increases allowed or refused on all
commodities and classes.
Adjustment OF free services such as
car spotting, switching, wharfage, and
dockage, and storage, furnished by the
railroads 10 big Shippers. is expected
to be included in the decision. Tho
commission has already indicated Its
attitude in this problem by it's declara-
ticn that allowances by trunk lines to
industrial railroads for services arc
unlawful rebates.
Less optimistic observers believe the
commission will give the railroads suf-
flctently increased revenues to render
advanced freight rates unnecessary.
The commission may suggest further
steps in efficiency and economy to con-
serve the revenues properly derivable
under the present rates.
A 5 per cent increase means to the
railroads SO.0o0.000 a year. The rail-
revenues would be sufficient to meet
the expenses anticipated. and that
nothing short of a straight rate ad-
vance can save their credit.

II your hair Is not as soft and pretty.
or as fresh and fun as that OF some
friend, do as she does-give it daily at
tention, just the same care you would
give q plant to make II healthy and
beautiful. Luxuriant hair-soft, fuffy.
thick and lustrous-is really a matter
OF care. If II Is too thin. make II grow.
II II Is too dry and brittle. soften IL up
mbricate IL. II you have dandruff II IL
because the scalp Is too dry and fakes
or Freshen up the scalp and the dan
druff disappears.
Partisan Sage. an inexpensive tonic.
which you can get from any drug or
toilet counter. OF from O'Donnelrs Drug
store. Is just what you need-it softens
the scalp. nourishes the hair roots Inn
mediately removes dandruff, and makes
the hair fuzzy lustrous and abundant.
One application will stop itching head
and cleanse the hair Of dust and ex-
cessive oil. Parisian Sage takes away
the dryness and brittleness, makes the
hair twice as abundant and beautifies Il
until II Is soft and lustrous.
BY the use of this helpful tonic any
woman can easily make her hair soft
fluffy and abundant. Pretty hair viii
surely increase her charm and beauty.
