Maine Paying Enough
For Transporting Milk

"If the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion fixes the rate for the transpor- alton
Of milk at $3.50 per quart a day for the
365 days in year from points in Maine
to the market in Boston and other Mass
achusetts cities" said Commissioner of
Agriculture VIM. T. Guptill, ut will take
just 100000 a year out Of the milk pro-
ducers of this State because those pro-
ducers cannot get any more for their
product in the Massachusetts market.
IF that rate is increased" continued
Commissioner Guptil, farmers will raise
less cows, as it will be found a losing
proposition to keep them. AS matter
of fact during the past 10 years the pro-
duction of cows has fallen off 5000 in
this State $4,000 in Massa chusetts, 1900
in New Hampshire. and 37,0oo In Vermont
I certainly feel that the present price
charged by the Boston & Maine Rail-
road and the Maine Central Railroad of
$50 quart a day for the year is suff1-
cient and l have found that the rate for
the transportation of milk is higher than
that of any other agricultural commod-
ity."
It Is estimated that 45on carloads Of milk
and cream mostly milk, are annually
shipped from this State to points in Mass
achusetts.

Maine AUTO AS'N
ROAD BULLETIN
FOR TOURISTS

Automobiles who wish to tour
through Maine over Memorial day will
have no difficulty in doing so as ia.
as the roads are concerned, accord
ing to a statement issued Saturday
by the Maine Automobile Association
Practically every effect Of the storm
of a week ago has been eradicated and
where bridges were washed away
temporary structures have been erect.
ed to handle the traffic Through
northern and eastern Maine where the
storm did not strike. the roads hays
been good throughout the spring. In
southwestern Maine they have been
restored to normal conditions in almps,
every section.
One interesting result Of the storm
was the fact that many Of the sandy
roads were noticeably improved by the
heavy downpour Of rain.
The work Of resurfacing with as
phalt and oil the State highway be-
tween Biddeford and Portsmouth has
been commenced by the Maine state
Highway Commission and will be com
pleted next Saturday. This, however
in way interferes with traffice. as only
one side of the highway is treated at
time and the oil is Immediately
sanded as soon as it is put on.

The Legislature of 1913 amended the law
in relation to the appointment of Nor
NAL School trustees providing that two
of them shall be of the Republican per-
suasion and two of the Democratic faith.
Mr.. Eastman, who is Democrat. is the
present postmaster at Westbrook. and
that may interfere with his acceptance of
a re-appointment in case that it is offered
to him.
Some claim that a postmaster is incl
igible to State position, but others con-
tend that inasmuch as the office is not
an elective one, the department at Wash
fngton does not care. The friends Of Hon.
Thomas D. Austin of Pennington, county
attorney of Franklin county, are push.
ing his candidacy for an appointment as
Normal School trustee.
The terms of Adjutant General George
Mel. Presson Of Pennington and Albert
NJ Wentworth of Portland as members
of the Maine State Board of Registration
and Examination in Optometry will ex
pire in July as will the term of Sam
uel Rosenberg of Portland as a member
of the State Board Of Charities and Cor
rections, he having been appointed to fill
out the unexpired term Of John E. Liz
gett of Augusta, who resigned.
The three-years term Of DR.. William L.
West of Belfast as a member of the
Maine State Board of Veterinary Exam
liners has already expired and an appoint
ment is expected to be made for this po-
sition at any time.

Mr. Dinsmore was one Of the last Of the
"49ers" to California. sailing from Belfast
and going around Cape Horn in that year
and two years later returning by way of
the 1sthmus. He made two subsequent
trips to California and Nevada, stopping
a considerable time in Nevada with his
brothers. George and Charles. Later he
was in the grain business at Branch ills
operating the grist mill there after the
retirement of his father-n-law, Jose
Greedy. until giving up the business to
his son, he also did some farming as
we'll as insurance and real estate busi-
ness. Always taking an active interest IN
public affairs, he served in several town
Offices. He was one Of the movers In
building the narrow gauge railway from
Wiscasset, serving as director for some
years. Trying to encourage all things
that tended to uplift his town and COM
muntty, encouraging the children in saw
ing by presenting them with bank books
to the number of nearly 1000, was only
part Of his good work. A granite monu-
ment was erected by him in the village
square in memory of the old settlers of
Palermo and China.
A number Of years ago he bought
small park in the center of the village
and planted it with pine trees. shrubs and
flowers. On the lot was small dwelling,
one of the oldest houses in town. This
he had repaired and fitted for library,
which he has filled by his own purchases
and the gift Of books by friends. with
over 900 volumes, which has been extern
sively read by the people Of the COM
munity. During this time he took great
pleasure in giving his services as libra
rian, being at the library nearly every
day until December. 1915, when his failing
strength compelled him to give it up
An ardent lover of nature, the sunshine,
birds, flowers and trees gave him endless
delight, one of his last remarks being,
that he wished he might go over to the
park and shake hands with the pines
again.
