The EAGLE
BROOM FACTORY
Is Developing into one Of the
Leading Industries Of
this city.

Mr.. &. P, Folse, the proorietO
OF the east end box factory, ha.
about perfected arrangements foi
the enlargement of his establish
ment. Mr.. Sidney Patout has
been interested IN the develop
ment of the business and the *.
tending of it's facilities. Tie
present factory, which was estab
iIshed some years ago, devoted its
first efforts at manufacturing
brooms; but at that time bro0ms
were so cheap that there was but
little to be made by factory eat
erlng to a local market only. In
extending his business IN the
course of time Mr.. Folse devoted
his attention to the manufacture
of shipping cases Of all kinds.
First, it was egg cases. Then bot.
tie cases of various designs and
sizes.
When this factory was first.
started, Mr.. Folse, who is an ex-
pert turner and wood worker, used
1t as a means Of keeping himself
IN employment when the big mill
with which he was engaged would
shut down for repairs or for want
of orders. This arrangement saw |
ed him the necessity of leaving |
his home and family, in dull
times, to seek employment else
where. AS the years rolled round |
and his factory grew in Importance
he was forced to give up the idea
OF working for others. Not only
did his factory demand all of his
time but the necessities of his
growing volume of business forced
the employment of assistants at
first, then a regular pay roll.
For some time 1t has been appa.
rent to the proprietor that he
would have TO consider the propo
sltlon of a larger factory-one
with better disposed room and
more machines-Or he would have
to turn down proffered business.
Mr.. Patout's admission to the
hrm comes at an oppOrtune mo-
ment. 1t is learned that the pres,
ent factory building is to give place
for a much larger structure of
two stories, which it is hoped, will
soon assume leading position .

HIGH PRICED PAPER,

White news print paper is /;
memory-practically unobtainablt
now-we must submit to some
shade of the browns or yellows
Since the beginning of this year
Iprlces in this country have scared
till they have trebled, or very
nearly. The government started
an inquiry some months ago into
the cause of conditions and the
reasons for the high prices. This
commission has recently reported
that there is no reason for pre-
vailing prices. The supply of raw
materials seems to be ample and
the mills are working full "a hour
time.
And still there seems to be a
reason for the prevailing high
prices.
The paper mills of the United
States and Canada were erected to
supply the demands of home con
sumption. The European war has
forced South and Central Ameri
cas- to seek a supply of paper, to
meet their necessities, in the
United States. To take care of
these additional orders of the
tropics has crowded the mills of
the northern counties bit beyond
their capacity. A raise of price
makes consumers conserve their
orders and practice such econo
mics and will limit consumption
to the capacities of the mills.
The mill owners must have an
excuse for the advanced price
Therefore, they lay it to the high
price of chemicals, when the mills
themselves are making the chem
icals they use.
Instead of building more paper
mills-which might be forced into
idleness when the war will be over
the price is arbitrarily forced |
This is hardly a worry
OF the paper maker-or at least 1t
provides compensation for his
worries. 1t IS, his hay making
season." He is making more pa
per per hour than he ever made
before, working "a hours per day,
and getting his own treble price
for All inferior product. If he can
hold conditions as they are till the
''cruel war is over", without the
establishment of many new mills.
be will not be forced to fight "a
rulnous competition" through the
years to come.
Now Japan comes to the front
With a proposition to sell "white"
in this country at
price lower than those now obtain.
ng. Japan proposes to do this, it
s claimed, notwithstanding the
act that she buys her logs in
Canada, converts them into paper
n Japan and now proposes to un
lerbid American paper men in
heir own markets.

A Kindly Word to the
Different Town Officials

It seems to be the prevailing idea
that the towns have nothing to do
with the keeping of State Roads
open for travel in the winter, Now
this a mistaken notion as the law is
specific and that they shall keep the
road open. 1t should also be the
prevailing willingness of all good
citizens that have teams to let them
90 out on this very necessary work.
A man that will not let his team
out to help keep the road open in
winter, should certainly not have
any consideration as to summer
work for his team.
Now as to the present method
of keeping the roads i'll good travel
ing condition in winter some might
differ with me until the following
idea is tried out. Each town should
supply themselves with a role" ten
or twelve feet long, six feet in dia-
meter, and drawn like a common
field roller, and the road should be
rolled with this to a width of about
tixteen feet. This would tend to
make ridge in the center and
would smoother it out 80 tho snow
would not fill in as it does now
when ploughed with a snow plow.
In plow'ng a road ridge is formed
on either side and it is dug out in
the center making fine place for
more snow to settle in with every
passing wind, the more snow the
more ploughing and the higher the
ridge at the sides. My opinion il
that in the future the rolling of the
snow roads will be as necessary in
the winter as dragging the muddy
roads in the summer. Hoping that
this will be tried out in another
winter and in the meantime do no,
forget to keep the roads open this
winter as it is the only way we have
to travel for the next two and a hall
months.
Respectfully,
H. o. ENGELSEN.

The Road Problem

On account of the immense snow
fall this winter the matter of keep
ing roads open and passible is seri-
Gus problem with which the authori-
ties have to deal. 1t appears that
this duty rests entirely on the shoul-
ders of the several town boards.
as to this duty there has been some
misunderstanding, some of the town
representatives assuming that the
county lis solely responsible for the
condition of all state roads, includ-
ing the removal of snow therefrom.
AS the entire lake shore road con.
sists OF state roads, and as this also
is the mail route through the coun.
ty. the duty of keeping it open Is at
the present writing exceptionally
important. Under the law, it ap.
pears. all state roads are constructed,
maintained and kept in repair by
the county, but the cleaning up of
snow blockades is not covered by
this general duty; because, by a
separate statute passed IN 1913, it is
made the duty of town boards, so
far as funds are available for the
purpose, to keep all highways pas
sing through their towns in passi.
BILE condition by >the removal of
snow therefrom. No exception be.
ing made. this provision applies to
state highways, as we'll as to county
roads and town roads.
Some of the towns claim to be
handicapped by shortage of funds
for the purpose. In view Of the
movement launched recently for an
exclusively overland mail service,
the necessity Of which is now under
investigation, it may be very unfor.
tunate if at this time the stage SER
vice is crippled by bad road condi-
tions. 1t behooves us, therefore,
not to be: easily discouraged from a
diligent gfort to cope with the en-.
ergency. y ~~.>
