An Imperative Need

Skowhegan ought to have salari-
ed Industrial Secretary. The buis-
ness of getting new industries. and
keeping and developing those We al
ready have Is too vital to remain de-
pendent upon haphazard attention
and it will get no other SO long as 1t
ia the business of nobody in parti-
cular. Such man ought to land an
average of one new industry a year
but IL he got but one important es-
tablishment in ten years the cost
would be more than justified.

All that has happened to Mr. Kelley
in the meantime we do not know but
the following letter tells something of
what he finds in new assignment in
the Island of Hayti.
Port Au Prince. Hayti,
Sept 5, 1915.
Dear Friend Belize
Well you may turn white when
you see this letter is from me and
you may die before you get to the
end for l have no place to write but
on my bunk but you will excuse all
of this for this time.
We are In q state of war once more
and 1t seems to be a war of words
for we have no fighting to do but of
course may In time to come. We
have in Hayti now about two thous-
and marines, few are in our place
and the larger half Is here in Port
Au Prince which is their largest city
also the home of the President
Their other President was killed
just before we landed but they have
another now and part of our duty is
to protect him until he can get an
army to keep the people in their own
places. The people are mixed
race of Negro and French and the
natives speak French. They are not
human you might say for just last
night | saw a party where they had
killed a baby and was eating the flesh
which they cooked in form of a stew.
After the Royal supper they beat
drums and drunk rum and have one
fine time. Well maybe / should not
tell you of these new dishes or you
will want to come here at once.
We may be here for over a year SO
guess when | get back | can eat al
most anything Is there any
news from the old home out to
the City? Can close me eyes and
just see every place on that road and
every house | can see as in a picture.
The "Solon State Fair" will be along
in short time and all the girls will
be there with bells on. Wish | was
there myself.
Now when you have nothing else to
do just write me a good long letter
and tell me some news that the Re
porter does not have.
Well | am going to close now hop
ing to hear from you soon

THE CREAMERY WILL Be
ENlARGEO
Addition to be Built to Give Better
Facilities for Handling the FRO
ducts

Excavations have been made for
the erecting of an addition to the
east side of the building owned ana
occupied by the Skowhegan Jersey
Creamery Co. on Hathaway st. Whlie
a small part of the machinery Will
be transferred to this new part, 1t
will be used mainly for refrigerator
PURPOSES and for general convenience
The collectors will also deliver thelr
cream at the entrance at the side oil
this new addition. Ephraim Cowett
will have charge of the mason WORK
and Irving Gates will direct the
architectural operations.
According to the plans, the pro-
posed structure will extend out from
the building toward the east sixteen
feet, while the dimensions across will
be fifty-nine feet. 1t will jut around
the southeast corner of the present
plant and will accordingly have a
street frontage of thirty-eight feet.
When the company started opera
tons. thirty-one years ago the build
ing now in use, was erected. AT
that time there was only small
churn to accommodate the modest
amount of cream received, but this
has greatly increased and as time has
gradually gone on, new machinery
has been installed and small addi-
tions have been made. AT the pres
ent time, however, butter fat amount
ing to 10000 to 10000 pounds month
ly Is being taken care of and the IA
cilties of the plant have long been
cramped because of inadequate space.
The capital has lately been increas-
ed to $4,000 and it is now hoped by
the management that the patrons of
the creamery will become interested
and take hold of some of the stock,
to help along the financial end of an
institution which is of great value to
them.
Arrangements have been made so
that the first of this month, certain
parties in Boston began bottling
cream shipped by this company and
delivering it to the wholesalers there.
This may lead up to shipping both
cream and mix by the car load three
times a week to that point
