ELECTION VALID
And $500 900 Road Bond Issue Is Now
In Full Force and Eject, Says
Commissioner Terrell.

State Road Commissioner r. G. Ter
rell Of Frankfort met with the Mason
County Road Commissioners in the
Chamber of Commerce office and gave
them some important information In
regard TO tho good roads proposition.
He said that il was not necessary
10 build model roads in order to ~
ceive state aid; that proper resurfac-
ing with not less than six inches OF
broken stone and proper browning for
drainage was all that was necessary
when good base was already in ex-
istence on the road Roads or sections
OF roads with defective or no base
would have to be reconstructed en-
tirelv.
He said that il would not be prudent
t. call another election at this time
as the previous election that carried
for $4,000 was In full force and eff
feet. and that another election now for
the same amount would mean $400,-
600. and that amount is not necessary
for proper construction of roads.
Acting upon the advice of Mr.. Ter
rell the Commission proposes to test
the question of the validity of the
first election through the court, which
can be done before the date set for
the election, June "a II the court
holds that the first election valid the
election on the above mentioned date
will be called off.

The following summary Of cOndi-
tons found at a recent inspection of
the Skowhegan almshouse has been
communicated it is understood by
the State Board of Charities to the
Oyerseers of the Poor concerned:
General conditions: Cleanliness,
fair; repair, good; furniture, sutIlci-
ent; beds and bedding, comfortable
and generally clean. Just at present
there are several inmates who are
very difficult to care for. Santa
ton and care of food supplies, good.
1t is recommended that fire eXtin-
guishers be recharged not less often
than once a year This town APP
pears to be cndeavoring to maintain
an excellent standard of care of the
inmates of its almshouse, and the
recommendations heretofore made
with reference TO the installation Of
flush closets and baths are renewed.
There are several inmates at the
present time for whose proper care
an ample supply of hot water is very
essential. The substitution of mat
tresses with water proof coverings
for feather beds for the use Of I'M
tidy inmates is recommended.

Lewis J. Marshall, necktie manu-
facturer OF Lisbon Falls and who at

supreme dictator of the world and
other ludicrous titles has been
sentenced by Judge Hale TO two
years in the Atlanta ponitentiary on

fraud. and of which he was convict
ed in the t. S. District Court last De
cember. Marshall was sentenced at
that time, but took the case to the
Il. 5. circuit court of appeals on Il
writ of error. The decision Of the
lower court was affirmed. Marshall
WAS brought to Portland in an auto
mobile ambulance and taken into
court on stretcher, The foregoing

Many persons now living have
heard their mothers tell of the com
fort enjoyed in their new log houses,
and they all lived in cabins until
saw mills we're put in operation. The
want of means of communication
with other places is the greatest en-
barrassment in a new settlement.
The first step toward connection be-
tween neighbors and settlements is
usually a blazed trail on the trees;
the next to swamp out brush so that
pack horse may pass Then by
building bridges. etc. it is made
roughly passable for carts. Gradu-
ally the way gets worn to The point
of being passable for carriages
Twenty years often elapse between
the settlers spotting of the trail and
the finishing of a carriage rod.
When we endeavor to picture to
ourselves conditions as our ances-
tors found and overeame them. to
consider the difficulties which they
met and surmounted, and side by
side with this picture contrast our
town as we know it today,-certainly
we should find pleasure in paying all
possible homage to these pioneer men
and women; and by teaching new
generations the early history of our
town, constantly endeavor to perpet-
uate their memory

A pipe in the digcstcr room in the
pulp mill on the island at Fairfield
nearly caused the death of Stanley
Gibson and Bert Pratt. both of that
town and tho only occupants in the
room at the time of the incident
This room is on the third floor of
the building and when the hot liquor
prevented escape by the stairs, the
two employees took to the windows
instead of being closed in the room
to the escaping liquor. 1t happen
ed that rope had been hung from
one of the windows to the roof OF the
dynamo room for the purpose OF
fire escape. The two men took this
means Of escape and both success
fully reached the roof of the dyna-
mo room. The roof over the dyna-
mo room was not in good condition,
and when both landed on the unsafe
covering. ii gave way and both fell
to the ground, distance Of about
% feet. AS soon as the accident
was reported. doctors were called
and found that the two men had es-
capped without any serious injuries
although Mr.. Pratt suffered a sprain-
ed arm and Mr.. Gibson minor in
iuries to his back, Both men feel
very fortunate in escaping with their
injuries as a longer stay in the di-
gester room would have meant death
to both.

north the Nortons, Peter, Abraham,
behave, and Marshall settled at
Twelve Corners. The last of the
family name living in town is Zina
Norton of North Madison.
In the year 1900 Jedediah Hayden
came from Gray to Madison and To-
Gated on the southwestern shore OF
Madison Pond where he lived for Go
years. Abel Merrill settled on what
was known as "Merrill's Flat" on the
farm where Charles Spear now lives
Ebenezer Dean came from the town
of Abbott and settled in the section
of Madison known as Deanville; and
so far as we can learn Elisha Lin
coin was the first settler in East
Madison.
Those early pioneers certainly
knew what toll meant they knew
what it meant to conquer the forest
and the wilderness. Their days
work was not measured by hours but
lasted from daylight until dark.
Notwithstanding their privations,
the first settlers of a new place have
much to animate and encourage
them. The hope of obtaining a free
home on which to rear their rising
families is a great incentive and 4
cheer to those who have been COM
PEELED to work on hire for daily
bread.

Madison's Early History

rbs foregoing interesting sketch

interest historically. 1t was pre-

as follows;
From the landing of our Pilgrim
Fathers upon the rockbound coast of
Now England until the present time,
the sturdy, persevering, self-sacrific-
ING pioneer, whether seeking freedom

tim of a mighty empire, strengthen

POSTOFFICE CLUB
HOLDS BIG OPENING

The formal opening OF the Post Onice
Club in the new City Postofice was held
last night at that place when President
NJ. o. Chance. Of the club, rolled the
first ball down the four new bowling al
leys. Among the equipment put in use
last night by Mr.. Chance are the bowling
alleys. one billiard and three pocket bill
lard tables, together with one shuttle
board. This is not all OF the apparatus
which will be used In bringing about
good fellowship among the employees OF
the Postoffice Department, as two ten
mis- courts are now being prepared with
huge expense to the club.
The clubroom is in the basement OF
the new City Postoffice, and is more than
an ideal place for the room. Some time
in the immediate future periodicals Of all
sorts will be added to comprise the
library besides reference books on all
postoffice matters
Considering the small length Of time
which the new club has been in existence,
the progress made is wonderful, and from
its showing to date the club will de-
velop into one OF the largest which this
city has ever possessed Music last night
was given by the Postoffice Orchestra
under the leadership of J. z. Minnich.
