way from Maine to purchase land for
potato growing it fully shows that this
section of the country possesses the
right kind Of soil for that purpose :
otherwise they would not invest.
During the past week a new COM
pany consisting of r. L. Pitcher, A. G..
Sampson and w. j. Thomas has been
formed in Princeton, and the company
has purchased the starch factory
from the r. L. Pitcher Co., the cor
poration originally owning the. plant.
The new concern will be known as
"R. L. Pitcher & Co." It's business will
be to operate the starch factory and
raise potatoes for the market. The
culls of course will go to the factory
For the purpose of potato culture
the company has purchased 1,25O
acres of land, nearly all on the Scenic
highway, the greater part being in
Baldwin township, from the follow
ing persons: J. J.. Skahen, A. n.
Nelson, John Peterson, Henry Busch,
Andrew Pundo, Mrs. C. H. Rines and
Mrs. Griffith. It has also bought Mrs.
Rines' residence property and a house
from Mrs. r. G. Dunn now occupied
by Swan Olson.
Mr.. Sampson and Mr.. Thomas were
here last August looking over the stu
alton and succeeded in obtaining the
services of r.. p. Morton as agent.sto
ascertain what land was available.
The headquarters of the new concern
are located in Mr.. Morton's office. Sd
Mr.. Sampson, who is now in Prince
ton, tells. us that he and Mr.. Thomas
will move here next March to make
their permanent home. Each is SELL
ing a fine farm in Caribou, Maine, to
come here, so it shows what they think
of Mile Laos county. And they ART
not coming without having made a
thorough investigation. They have
sufficient faith in the productivity Of
the soil Of this territory to leave the
biggest potato-producing county
(Aroostook) in the United States. Y {
Commercial fertilizer. will be used
on the land purchased, says Mr.. Samp.
son, and to this system Of fertilization
is due the large potato yields obtained
in Aroostook county. 4
The members of this. partnership
are all practical men. Mr.. Pitcher is
the starch king Of the United States,
operating plants in Maine and Michi-
gan, besides being a partner in the
Princeton factory. Mr.. Sampson has
been in the starch and potato business
for IS years, as well as conducting. a
farm, while Mr.. Thomas has been far
ming and shipping potatoes as well as
an agent for fertilizer company.
Two cars of selected and certified
seed will be brought here from Maine
and several varieties of potatoes
planted the first year for experiment
tative purposes, but it is expected that
after that. Cobblers will be most ex-
tensively grown.
The purchase by this company of
these tracts of land for intensive po-
tato culture and the coming Of Mr..
Sampson. Mr.. Thomas and their fam
lilies to Princeton to make their per-
nlanent homes should be fully appre-
ciated by the people Of this village
and the surrounding country.

FOR REBUILDING OF RHEIMS
BILLION DOLLARS is THE COST
(By Henry Woodsl


Rheims. France, March 5. tBy MaiD
The total cost for the reconstruction
of Rheims, according to estimates just
completed, is placed at five billion
francs or $1,000. 100000
This the figure of indemnity which
the Germans imposed on France at the
end of the Franco Prussian war and
which they considered sufficiently
large TO ruin France. commercially and
industrially for years to come.
In spite of this terrific cost, due in
part to the increased cost of building
materials resulting from the war,
Rheims is losing no time in rising
from its ruins. For the reconstruction
of the city twenty complete plans have
been submitted by leading architects
of Paris, Rheims and other French
cities. No one plan will be adopted
but the cit ywill pick out the features
that seem most desirable. and arrive
at final plan which will be approved
by the city council.
Amongst the details already decided
upon are big broad streets for the
principal arteries. workingmen's quart
ers. with gardens and three series o1
boulevards, like those of Paris anC
Brussels, forming complete circles

RockwELL's LETTER 4
>>>>>>>>~>s>>
Denyer. March %. 1919

Denver, March %, 1919.
An agreement seems to have been
made with the powers that be in the
senate, whereby they will consider ad-
ministration measures Immediately
agreement has been made whereby
the legislature will adjourn April 3rd.
The senate this week passed several
OF the bills which we of Delta county
were particularly interested in. The
first was the bill appropriating $751;
10000 annually for the control of the
alfalfa weevil, the eradication of the
poison milk weed and other destruc-
tive pests. This money will be used
almost exclusively ON the western
slope, and most particularly in Delta
county.
The bill increasing the amount to
be used for horticultural purposes in
the state from $3.50 to $4,000 year.
The bill appropriating s25OO for the
buying and fixing up of the Cedaredge
hatchery.
The bill appropriating $4,000 for the
next biennium to be used with a like
amount from the federal government
for the purpose of killing predatory
animals, also has passed the senate.
| H. B. 12S which passed the house
sometime ago and which | discussed
in a former letter. has created the
same line of discussion in the senate
that it did in the house. The bill as
finally passed by the senate leaves out
the section providing for a graduated
scale of wages for teachers each ad-
ditional year they teach. but leaving in
the increase in the minimum wage to
$4,000 in the third class districts and
$500 in the first and second class
districts and add the proviso that
100000 from the school fund may be
used by the districts If found neces-
sary.
Very truly yours.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarr-
hal deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness
is caused by an inf1amed condition Of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which is
an inf1amed condition OF the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine
acts thru the blood on the mucous
surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
