AN ANNOUNCEMENT

At the close of the present year, l
will have served the citizens of Rio
Grande County for ten successive
years as County Clerk and Recorder,
and during the whole of such time,
through the kindness and considera-
either received the nomination for
such Office without opposition, or
have been endorsed upon all tickets.
For this. l am unable to express my
full gratitude to my friends, and the
decision of my own mind, without
consulting or being influenced by any
one in the matter, is, that the best
manner of showing my true appreci-
alton for a decade of these worthy
favors so extended me, is in making
an early announcement to the effect
that l will not be a candidate for any
Office at the coming election.
l am proud of the record that my
friends have given me the opportun-
ity of making by placing me in this
Office, and after this long service it is
pleasing to retire with everyone my
friend.
| shall endeavor to render to YOU
for the remainder of my term the
best service that it is within my
power to give, and trust that the time
may come when | may in some way
repay all of my friends for the loyal
support which they have always
given me. Eek FARROW.

Webster Merrifield Dies in Pasadena.

webster Mortified Dies in Pasadena
A. NJ Merrifeld received telegram Sat-
urday telling of the death Saturday morn
ing of his brother, Webster Mortified, 60,
in Pasadena, Cal, angina pectoris being
the cause.
Webster Merrifed was a native of this
place and was born July %, 1852. He was
a son of John A. and Louisa Williams
Merrifeld. He attended the public
schools in this village, Powers institute in
Bernardston, Mass, and the Wilbraham
(Mlass.) academy.
He attended Yale university, where he
stood ninth in a class of over 100 and be-
cause OF his high standing was elected to
the honorary academic society, Phi Beta
Kappa. He was an editor of the Yale
Record. As an Undergraduate he worked
his way through Yale, where he graduated
in 1877 with the degree of b. A.
After his graduation he taught in a pri-
vate school at Newburg, N. Y, 1S77-79,
and was instructor in classics and mathe-
MATES at Yale university, 1S79-S3
In 1888, he was appointed professor Of
Latin and Greek at the University of
North Dakota and in 1891 he was elected
president of that institution. In 1893 he
received the NJ. A. degree from Yale.
President Mortified possessed those rare
qualities needed to make up a successful
college president. While he was at the
head of the university the student body
increased from barely 100 to nearly 1000,
the faculty from 10 to 81 members, and
the standard of scholarship was raised to
equal that of any university in the coun-
try The great aim of his administration
was to inculcate the idea that every stu
dent and graduate owes to the public a
duty OF service commensurate with the SER
vice which the public renders the student
One of the greatest testimonials of Presi-
dent Merriield's work was the respect and
affection held for him by every student
who, during those many years of founda-
ton building, came under his stimulating
and helpful influence
He was offered the presidency of the
University of Montana and of an eastern
college, but remained staunch to the u
n. d. until his resignation in June, 1909
when he received the degree LID. from
the university He was influential in pro-
noting the interests of the high schools
in North Dakota and was writer on
classical and educational subjects
In 1902 he married Mrs. Elizabeth H
Bull of Newburg, n Y. Since 1909 he had
lived in Pasadena, where he had beauti-
full home. He had travelled widely, going
abroad nearly every summer, visiting the
continent, England and Egypt.
He leaves his wife and one brother, A.
NJ. Mortified. Another brother, John H.
Merrifeld of this place, formerly clerk of
Windham county, died in 1906.
The funeral was held at the house in
Pasadena Wednesday.

How Vermont Hens Won the
Championship of America

All loyal Vermonters have noted with
considerable pride the high place
which Vermont poultry breeders have
always taken when their fowls com
pete with those of other states. c. A.
Champion, jr., of st. Adams, VT, one
Of the prize winners in the Storr s In
ternational Laying Contest last year
in letter to c. S. Page of Hyde
Park gives a suggestion as to how he
did it. He writes: 81 feed Page Is
Green bone in moderate quantities to
breeding stock, layers and young
chickens and consider it an important
item in developing and improving my
heavy laying strain. My pen won
second prize and championship OF
America Gall breeds, 100 pens) at
Storr's international Laying Contest
last year.
Poultrymen desiring to emulate the
example of Mr.. Champion will do well
to send $500 to Mr.. Page and pro.
cure a 200-lb. barrel of his Green Cut
Bone meat. On receipt of check
cash, express or postal money order
the goods will be sent freight paid to
almost any station.

Big Rat Climbs Through Damper.

The champion rat story, guaranteed not
to emanate from any nature faker, is told
by several witnesses who were occupying
Sparkss corner store, otherwise locally
known as the Exchange" clearing
house" or "dissecting ROOM" one evening
recently.
The stove-pipe in the room goes straight
up about half the height of the room, then
makes square turn to the chimney. On
this horizontal point is a damper with an
unusually large opening. As the wise ones
sat celebrating upon the important events
of the day, to their amazement large rat
suddenly was seen TRANQUILITY seated upon
the damper The only possible solution of
its appearance was that it had climbed in
side the chimney from the cellar, turned
into the stovepipe, thence out by the
damper opening. At the time there was
but little fire in the stove.
The rodent was knocked off and dis.
patched, and fresh tale of interest was
ready for discussion in the clearing
house" the following evening.
