Mill

Parker Sanborn and Joseph Boulier
who bought the Sacred Heart Farms.
about AS acres. in May of last year,
have been doing lots of business there

buildings on their property they now
have rents for five families Dur
ing last summer they plowed and
cleared of rocks. thirty-fiye acres of
pasture land. which they intend 10
plant to potatoes this spring.
They commenced cutting wood and
peeling hemlock last July. -Four hun
dred thousand feet of hemlock vele
peeled, which yielded about 200 cords
of bark. This hemlock. together
with spruce, fir and cedar. amounting
to about 100000 feet in all, was sold
to George Harlow of Norridgewoek.
and he has been saving it at a mill
established on the place in January,
until that was destroyed by fire as
reported in recent issue Sanborn

of four foot wood. They have mar
keted 100 cords of this chiefly in
Skowhegan. and now have 600 cords
yarded out, which they are working
up into stove wood. All the above
activities have employed an average

and has been an important item among
the many small industries of this vi
entity.

OUT OF NEW HAVEN
Morgan Firm States Profits and
Losses on Railroad Trans
actions.

| NEW YORK, March 81. p. Nor
| gan & Co. have prepared in response
| to a request from Chairman Howard
Elliott, of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad, a. detailed
record of all the transactions be-
tween that road and the Morgan
banking house during the last TWEEN
tv years. The record shows that the
firm participated in the handling of
! S333, 0S2 SOB in securities of the New
Haven and the subsidiaries On these
transactions the Morgan house real
lied net profit of $780, This was
after taking count of losses incurred
ON the resale of some of the securi-
ties purchased from the New Haven.
The correspondence with Chairman
Elliott is made public in full by j
p. Morgan & Co. Its sets forth that
neither the firm of ]. p Morgan 6,
Co. nor any of it's members ever had
any interest in the New York, West
chester and Boston, the steam rail-
ways, trolley lines or steamship comk
panies acquired by the New Haven
or any of its subsidiaries. The sin
gle exception to this was the interest
which the late j. p. Morgan had
in a wharf and terminal company
purchased by the New Haven. Mr..
Morgan held in this company 1922
shares, which he inherited from his
father in 1890. 1t was in 1907 that
the New Haven acquired the prop
erty
The New Haven opened its first de-
post account with J. p. Morgan &
Co. in 1903. Since then, the Morgan
& Co. letter shows. the firm has held
New Haven deposits averaging for
the eleven years about 81, 415,000, upon
(which the bankers allowed interest at
2 per cent.
This statement was issued by j. y.
Morgan Il Co. Saturday.
Chairman Howard Elliott, of the
| New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad Company, recently addressed
a letter to us. asking us certain ques-
tons as to our fiscal relations with
the New Haven companies, covering
the last twenty years. and as to our
profits in the sale of New Haven and
allied company securities during the
same period Believing that Chair
man Elliottss inquiries and our an
swers thereto may be of interest to
the public, as well as to the directors
and stockholders of the New Haven,
We have decided with the consent Of
the New Haven Company, to give out
for publication the entire correspond
ence, setting forth in detail the infor-
nation requested"
THE letters adequately explain
themselves" a representative of j. p.
Morgan & Co. said, and for that rea-
son we have prepared no explanatory
or other formal statement to accom-
pany them. Our letter to Howard Ell
lott shows that in twenty years J. p.
Morgan & Co. took part in the sale

Roosevelt Townsmen Think
Name Brings Bad Luck

ROOSEVELT l.. l., March 9.-What
some persons here call 1.-The Big Stick
hoodoo'' is being felt again. This time
1t isn't robbery of the postoffice, nor
has the Fire Department busted"
It's fight among members of the
Board of Education as to whether the
town shall be laughed at, hooted and
otherwise made foolish because it
bears the name of an x-Presi6ent, or
whether petition shall be sent to
Congressman Lathrop Brown request
ing him to get the permission of the
Nostal authorities to change the name
10 Providence.
Roosevelt, l.. l., hasn't had a mo-
mnt's peace since T. r. presented to
the Board of Trade big stick, valued
at $1,000, a year and a half ago. I'm
mediately thereafter there was fric-
ton among the townsmen as to who
should have the honor of guarding
the big stick. Conrad Gaenger finally
got it. but he didn't keep it long. On
January "a burglars carried 1t off.
This caused rejoicing among those
who thought the big stick had brought
bad luck to the town.
