The Monson Railroad COMPANY.

Inspector Browns report of the physical
condition of the Monsoon Railroad is as
follows:
This road extends from Monsoon June
ton, station on the Bangor & Aroos-
took Railroad. to Monson, with branches
to various slate quarries.
THE country on both sides of the line
is rather hlly. About three-quarters of
it is wooded and one-quarter is farming
country.
From Monson Junction to Monsoon
about half the distance is a steep up
grade, with some very sharp curves
The other half is fairly Level. with easy
curves and grades.
1.-THE cuts and fills are in good condition
and the cuts well ditched.
THE track alignment and surface are
fairly good. The track is laid with 30
pound steel rails, with common fish
plates for fastenings. stub switches and
rigid frogs, all of which are in good con-
dtion.
THE structures consist of several small
wooden buildings, which are in fairly
good condition, and one combination pas
senger and freight station at Monson,
which Is in very fair condition.
THE road and equipment are in SUM-
GENTLY good condition to handle all pas
senger and freight business that may
offer.
Improvements made on the road dur
ing the past year are as follows:
There have been 1900 new ties put un-
der the track; two underneath cattle
passes have been filled; the stringers
have been removed from the Ladd Brook
opening and replaced with cedar logs
covered with rock and gravel. and the
track raised IS inches above the opening
and running out to nothing at = distance
of 800 feet each side. The freight cars
have been given one coat Of wood pre-
servative and the passenger car and en-
gines have been given one coat Of varnish.
"A coating Of gravel would greatly i'm
prove the track.

Agricultural Department

commissioner Of Agriculture VIM. T,
Guptlll has returned from Aroostook,
Where for two weeks he has been at
tending Farmers Institutes and ex-
presses himself as highly pleased with
the entire trip and confident that the
meetings were productive Of much
good. The attendance was much larger
than the average and more interest
was manifested. The speakers were all
masters Of their subjects and requests
have come from all sections of that
county asking for more of the same
kind Of material.
An item recently appeared in a
Franklin county paper to the effect
that sweet corn packers look forward
to a contraction Of acreage the COM
ing season, owing to the fertilizer sit
uation and the high price Of potatoes.
Mr.. Guptill was asked concerning it
and remarked that it was a hard mat
ter to say much about it in a definite
way.
Sweet corn in Maine has had two
bad years and but for the warm spell
OF the first two weeks Of September
last year it would nave been an abso-
lutte failure. Maine packed about $780,
600 cases of two dozen cans each in
1914 and somewhat less in 1915. The
turning from the raising Of sweet
corn to potatoes is about six and six,
because both are what might be term
ed gambling" crops. The potato crop
fails on an average about once in five
years and corn a little oftener. Under
normal conditions even If the corn
acreage is less the crop would be
larger. The department has heard
something of such talk but l am not
prepared to say there is anything in
It,"
r. L. Cummings Of West Paris a
well-known oxford county fruit grow
er, was at the department Tuesday in
conference with Commissioner w. T.
Guptill Mr.. Cummings has been pres
ent at the freight rate hearing at Bos-
ton in the interests of Maine farmers
and made use in his arguments at the
hearing of figures prepared by Mr..
Guptill The hearing has been contin-
ued and Mr.. Cummings was in confer
ence with Commissioner Guptill Tues
dav in order to ascertain if there were
any additional facts and figures on
file at the Maine Department of Agri-
culture that would aid him in the pres
entation of his case.

complainants.
Chairman Cleaves of the commission
said that he hoped that counsel would
be explicit, as none of the commission
ers were conversa1t with railroad
rates only in a general way. after At
torney Ives had begun his opening in
behalf Of the complainants.
Attorney Ives contended that from
Lagrange and all points on the line of
the Bangor & Aroostook Railroad,
north and south Thereof, the combined
Bangor & Aroostook and Maine Cen
trail mileage is less via Dover and Fox
croft than via Northern Maine juno
ton, and yet from such points except
nina ct ho ,oI,
the Bangor e. Aroostook Railroad
publishes pulp wood rates only via
Northern Maine junction. He claimed
that these rates are unrea sonable and
unjustly discriminatory.
c. II. Tiffany of Boston, the traffic
manager Of the New England Paper
and Pulp Association, was the first
witness in behalf Of the complainants.
He went into detail as to the rates for
the transportation Of pulp wood on the
lines of the Bangor & Aroostook and
Maine Central Railroads and was on
the stand under direct examination
when recess was taken until 100
o'clock in the afternoon.
Mr.. Tiffany was on the stand most
Of the afternoon and was on cross-ex-
animation when an adjournment was
taken until 10 o'clock Wednesday fore
noon.~
j. Fred Webster of Boston. president
Of the Nekonegan Paper Co. of Old
Town, was called as a witness for the
plaintiffs before the testimony Of Mr.
Tiffany was finished because of the fact
that he had an important business en-
gagement Wednesday. Mr.. Webster
gave testimony as to the rates for the
transportation of pulp wood from va
rious places along the line of the Ban
gor & Aroostook Railroad TO his COM
panys mill at Old Town.
