CASH FOR BOYS.
Those of Hancock and Washington
Counties May Win Prizes.

Counties May Win Prizes.
The Union Trust Co., of Ellsworth, is to
cooperate with the extension service of
the University of Maine in conducting
agricultural contests among the boys of
Hancock and Washington counties. The
company has announced that it will give
S400 for the purpose.
The organization of the contest will be
in charge Of the university extension de-
partment, and the detailed plans will be
announced very soon. The university has
a plan for organizing the boys and girls
of the State in agricultural contests, and
already about twenty clubs have been
formed, or will be very shortly. The
movement throughout the country along
these line has assumed tremendous magni-
tude, with hundreds of thousands of boys
enrolled as members, supported financially
to considerable extent by banks and
business pien.
r. B. Holmes, of the Union Trust Co.,
became interested in the movement, and
the attempt OF the university to establish
contests in Maine, and presented the
whole matter to the board of directors OF
the trust company. The idea of helping
the boys OF Hancock and Washington
counties and to encourage them to engage
in farming in practical manner, appealed
to the board, and the appropriation of
prizes to the amount OF s40O was the re-
suit. The gentlemen making up the di-
rectorate OF the Ellsworth bank are to be
congratulated on the practical manner by
which they propose TO cooperate in arous-
ing the interest and attention of the boys,
The good example will undoubtedly be
followed by other institutions Of similar
character in the State.
Hancock county boys should get busy
at once. The first step for those interested
is to write Prof. F. H. Bickford, college
OF agriculture, Orono, Me. Further de-
tails of the contest will be announced
from time to time in THE AMERICAN.

Harry E. Rowe, OF Ellsworth, was held
up on the road between BluehilI and
Surry, last Friday evening, by bold
night prowler who left him without
scent. Mr.. Rowe was hurrying home in
order to attend the commandery installa.
tion. In the lonely stretch of woods he
met the gentleman of the road. Mr..
Rowe stopped his horse and threw up his
hands, but his brain was busy trying to
find some way out of the dilemma. The
snow was deep each side of the travelled
track, and there was no chance to make q
dash by, as the hold-up man kept the mid
die Of the road. Mr.. Rowe decided to put
up fight, and climbed out OF his sleigh.
The gentleman in the road did not seem
inclined to make an attack, but neither
did he show any inclination to give way.
Mr.. Rowe had no means OF attack but
snow balls, and these had little effect.
All this time the gentleman in the road
had not said word, but lodged the
snowballs with surprising agility. FL
nally they came so thick and fast that he
was forced to step outside the beaten
track into side rut. Seizing the oppor-
tunity, Mr.. Rowe jumped into his sleigh,
whipped up his horse and dashed past.
The skunk made swipe at him as he
passed, but misjudged the speed of the
horse, and Mr.. Rowe escaped without a
scent. He arrived at the commandery in
stallation half an hour late.

bushels per acre and sell for 75 cents to $l.00 per bushel; sweet potatoes are good also, making from 75 to 200 bushels per acre and selling at from 50 cents to $l.00 Irish potatoes make a good cash crop, but the market is uncertain. Cabbage makes another pretty good crop, but the .-a".~ ing feature presents a pro- blem. The watermelon is a good crop if the marketing conditions are favorable. Sunflowers do very well, selling from } to ' cents per pound. Broom corn is q very good crop too. The most reliable is winter cats, or corr. A crop of corn, oats, hay, peas, potatoes. pumpkins and wheat with a milk COW, some chickens, a garden in the spring, and a good brood SOW, will insure a liv- ing for any farmer next year. Arkansas has more acres of corn than cotton every year, so Ark ansas is more of a corn State in acres than 1t is a cntton State. The yield is good too, where the corn is we'll cultivated. It costs too much to raise corn in Arkan- sas, far more than it does in the corn belt. There, they use mod ern implements and methods. They use more horse power and less hand power. That is because corn is their money crop and they raise it extensively, and prepare for it. If we give your attention to it we can produce corn more profitably than they do in t h e belt. We can produce hay cheap CT, and more per acre. We can raise cattle and hogs and provide pasture easier and longer. Fat cattle and hogs will always sell just as we'll as cotton. If the corn and hay does not sell, the cattle and hogs will eat it, and thus it can be converted into meat at a good profit.
 The first step toward making a good corn crop .next year is to break the land this fall and get it in good condition. Flow about an inch deeper than usual. Turn under the stalks, weeds or grass. Then select good seed corn. Get it all of the same variety, nice

NEW YORK, March 1O.-The sen tlment was more cheerful and the stock market made a good showing. although the improvement was slow Both at home and abroad. a better feeling prevailed. The London mar ket was stimulated by a more hope ful view of the Ulster questions and prices of American stocks there were bid up before the opening of this market. European liquidations here also abated and London came into the market for stocks. About fifteen thousand shares were taken for for eign account. At home chief import ance was attached to the United States Steel's monthly report of un- filled orders. giving an increased ton mage of 412,000 This was fully up to the most optimistic predictions After the strong opening the upturn was checked temporarily by renewed attacks on Chesapeake and Ohio and Lehigh Valley, which for time proved sensitive to the pressure. A few other stocks sold off, but the general market held firm and pres ently resumed it's advance Bonds were irregular. but the trend was upward.

The copper company now has an oil wagon busy. oiling the principal thoroughfares of this town with the view to modifying the dust nuisance that is always with us through the warmer months. This improvement will add greatly to the comfort of the population in general.
 There was q large gathering out on the tailings flat in the gulch be- tween Hayden and San Pedro last Sunday afternoon to witness an ex- citing ball game between the teams of those two sections of our town There was plenty of excitement and tailings dust. likewise of trips across the plate. The contest was warm and ended in a victory for the San Pedro boys by a score of 8 to 6. Since so much baseball enthusiasm IS manifest, it is hoped that some ar rangement will be soon made for good ball ground. The tailings dump is too soft and dusty for a first class exhibition.
 A start was made on the erection of the residence of Dr. Hood Mon day, and the building will be hurried to completion.

CALlAGHAN |S
 BACK AT GRANT
Again Leaves to Continue Investigating Conditions at Industrial School - Was Obliged to Quit for a While

State Auditor J. C. Callaghan left
 again for Fort Grant, the site of
 the Arizona Industrial school, last
 night. to continue his investigation
 of conditions there. Mr. Callaghan
 spent two days in Phoenix obtaining
 further information about the pro-
 cedure under which he is to be al
 lowed to work and getting the in
 formation he desifed, he returned to
 Fort Grant. It is his intention first,
 so it is said, to find out if the ru-
 mors of the school are baseless or
 not If he finds evidence sufficient
 in contact with, he will proceed with
 the public investigation.
 State Auditor Calaghan returned
 Sunday night from Fort Grant where he went to investigate the affairs of
 the Industrial school, without com pleting the task for which he was sent. He. however, examined two witnesses before returning
 A strange story comes back from the fort in connection with the talk ing of testimony there. It is said that the work of the auditor was so interfered with by Superintendent Whipple and his attorney, Hon. Wi lev Jones, that he was forced to dis
 continue until such time as further instructions could be given in con- nection with the investigation.
 It is said that the superintendent arrived on the scene shortly after noon on Saturday At that time Mir Callaghan was examining a witness in the office of the administration building. Mir. Whipple and his at 1orney and stenographer came in and began series of annoyances to which Callaghan objected Finally. he asked if there was another room where the examination could be con- tinued. He was told that he might use the amusement hall" This he did, but soon found MT. Whipple looking in at the windows Then
 after the superintendent knocked on the door very insistently. the door i was opened by Callaghan himself, and the superintendent admitted. This was what caused the final hitch. Callaghan took the position
 that he ought to be allowed to ob- tam evidence before he opened the "ase to Whipple, and that if the superintendent was constantly on hand the employees and inmates would not testify with the freedom they would. were he not there The su- rerintendent. however. insisted on being present and hearing every thing.
