POTATO NOTES.

Houlton, Jan. a5-Very few potatoes
are being hauled in. The roads are in
fine condition for hauling. Many
seem to think the farmers are waiting
for higher prices, while others claim
that there are not as many potatoes
in the county as some Of the people
seem to think. The crop fell away off
last season and potatoes have been
moving quite briskly. However, there
are still a number of farmers about
holding for big advance in price
which they feel sure must come before
spring. The price this week remains
practically as it has been for the past
two weeks. from $3.50 to So per bar
rel. The outside market is reported
to be dull.
Sherman, Jan. 25.-Potatoes are
selling here now for 1915 per barrel,
and the farmers are not hauling many
to market AS the price was SO just a
short time ago, they are waiting for a
little firmer price.
Pressure. Isle, Jan. 26.-Potatoes
have taken little drop the last day

REUBEN RICHMOND.
AGED 86 YEARS
MEXICO'S HUSTLER

Rumford, Me-, Jan. 27.-Energetic
and ambitious at IS years of age, Reu-
ben Richmond of Mexico Me-, is still
briskly attending to the business con-
nected with his real estate holdings in
Rumford and Mexico, which include,
among other parcels, 40 tenements.
Mr.. Richmond is a native of Canton.
He went West in SO, remaining for
several years. He was engaged in
gold mining in California. After re-
turning East he was for a time in

native State called him and he returned
to Oxford County, purchasing a farm
in Byron, containing 800 acres, where
he lived for so years. Here, in house
100 years OLD, his six children were
born, and to this day there has never
been death in the old house. Mrs.
Richmond before her marriage was

Mills of Natick. Mass; DIR. Ivus 1.
Richmond of Bridgewater. Mass: Mrs

In connection with his work as a
prosperous farmer, Mr.. Richmond was
busy for years buying cattle and TAX
ing them to Bridgton, the first lot
which he drove overland to that place
containing pair of oxen girting eight
feet each.
After cutting much timber from his
farm himself, he sold it for $4,000 and
has since lived in Mexico. One Of his
nine grandchildren is Mrs. Mabel Had
ley, wife of Major John A. Hadley Of

Walter Robinson and his son. May
nard, of Spruce Point, the former IN
dory and the latter in motor boat
had the hardest experience of their
lives yesterday and it is a wonder
they are alive to tell the tale
They had been out fishing in their
motor boat and attempted to run IN
with the heavy snow squall. They had
over s65 worth of fish, mostly haddock
aboard, their biggest catch of the sea-
son. They came in about thirty miles
and when near Ram Island the engine
stopped. Robinson, senior, got into the
dory and tried to keep the boat headed
up into the wind. The wind blew
terrific gale and it could not be done
Then they cast anchor. When the old
or man pulled in his painter. the gale
swept him and the dory out Of sight
in the driving snow almost immediate
ly, and the two men and boats were
separated. This was at about five
o'clock.
The father was blown to the east
ward in his small boat and was lucky
enough to strike point at South Bris-
toll near the Jones place at about eight
o'clock. At about the same time the
son in the motor boat struck on rock
at Grimes Cove and big hole was
smashed in the boat. The young man
saw that his boat was going to be
dashed to pieces or founder and he got
ready to leave it. He couldn't swim a
stroke but he had presence of mind
enough to fasten two troll kegs under
his arms and jump to the windward
A moment after the boat turned over
two or three times and went down. The
young man was dashed up on the shore
badly battered. He managed to get
to the nearest house, where he told OF
his condition, but was offered not the
