HONOR OLD FRIEND
Black Hills Pioneers Name High
Peak for Roosevelt.
At Its Summit q calrn Fifty Feet
Hiah, Constructed OF Bowlders OF
Native Granite, Has Been
Erected,

On July 4 the Black hills pioneers
honored the memory Of the late Colo
mel Roosevelt by naming for him the
highest peak In the Black hills. Timed
to take place during Homecoming
week for Deadwood and other Black
hills communities, this ceremony was
q manifestation of the affection which
all the residents Of that section OF the
country felt for Colonel Roosevelt.
The peak which will henceforth be
known as Mount Theodore Roosevelt
was called Sheep mountain or Round
Top. It is a detached eminence with
an elevation of 5000 feet, three miles
from Deadwood, Is miles from Wyo-
ming and 35 miles from the Montana
state line. It is on the Black Hills
forest reserve, and will be the center
of bird and game refuge also dedi-
Gated to the memory Of the ex-presi-
dent.
All that section Of the country has
been intimately associated with vari-
Gus periods in the life OF Colonel
Roosevelt. The peak which now bears
his name overlooks the foothills ana
valleys Of the northern Black hills
where the colonel hunted buffalo. In
sight from the summit are his cattle
range and his trail to Deadwood, as
well as sections Of Wyoming and Mon
tana where he trailed cattle In his
cowboy days. Glimpses of The Belle
Fourche, the Redwater and other
streams flowing down the valleys at
tract the spectator The peak and the
territory around it are now embraced
in the Belle Fourche irrigation project
which Colonel Roosevelt advocated
when president. This Is making an
arid prairie over into fertile farming
country.
The people Of Deadwood built at the
summit of the mountain cairn 5O feet
high of powders of native granite. l..
A. Brown Of Spearfish, one of the colo
nel's associates of years ago, obtained
the permission of the local committee
to place in this monument a stone
with the cattle brands Of his old
friend chiseled thereon. The dedica-
ton of this monument took place on
independence day, when tablet III
scribed "In Memory Of Theodore
Roosevelt, the American" was fast
ened to one of the powders.

Board of Trade Meeting.

A good attendance at the meeting OF
the South Paris Board of Trade Tuesday
evening. President P. F. Ripley was in
Augusta on business, and In his absence
Vice President George F. Eastman called
on Walter l.. Gray to preside.
A report of the housing committee was
called for, and Chairman Clarence g.
Morton said that the committee ss now
constituted had met and considered the
matter of loan and building assooia-
ton, and that they were Of the opinion
that such an association would be q good
thing for the community, but that they
felt that more should be known OF Its
details. There are two or three men In
Portland, he said, who could give the
necessary information, aud 1t was voted
that the committee secure one Of these
men to come here and set the matter be-
fore the citizens.
The road matter was then taken up,
and James Kerr of Rumford, q contractor
and road builder, was introduced to give
information regarding the proposed road
construction from the Norway town line
to the Park Street bridge. For half an
hour or more there was running fire OF
questions by the citizens and answers by
Mr.. Kerr. Mr.. Kerr expressed the
opinion that the cement road was the
best form of construction for the loca-
ton, and that there was good founda-
ton for it. He made rough estimate
of the cost at fifty thousand dollars, not
including anything for drainage or gravel
shoulders. Other statements made by
him In answer to questions were that
there would be no difficulty in getting IN.

able for macadam construction, 80 that
he would not recommend crushed stone
for the highways.
E. S. Cummings and F. Robert Seavey
of Norway were present, and Mr.. Seavey
stated that at meeting of the Norway
Board of Trade, an informal vote was in
favor of road construction by Norway to
meet the construction which Paris might
undertake.
The meeting was adjourned to Thurs
day evening, to hear report from Presi-
dent Ripley on matters learned at
Augusta.
At the adjourned meeting Thursday
evening, 1t was voted to- have the presi-
dent prepare a communication to be
published in the Democrat on the matter
of the proposed road, which was duly
prepared and appears in this issue.

negotiations within sixty days. To con-
clude the transfer certain formalities
must be gone through with and the con-
sent of the Public Utilities Commission

the Androscoggin Electric Company by

East Sumner.

In Incidents In American History it 10
recorded that the greatest snow storm
ever known came on Feb. goth and Feb.
21st, TIT. In one place where 100
sheep were kept, all but two persisted.
Weeks after, cattle were found in snow
drifts 10 feet deep, dead but standing up
right. In some instances. people had to
step from chamber windows on snow
shoes. As this condition occurred over
200 years ago, nothing Is said about the
electric lines being stalled.
In February, 1885, ga years sgo) the
great eight day blizzard began, when for
full week no trains nor mails were In
effect. All this time high wind with
zero weather prevailed. Fortunately at
that time the water supply was fairly
good ss the ground was not frozen as
deep as now. This was also before the
milk and cream routes were In effect and
people could den up better than now.
Well, we prefer feet Of snow In
Maine rather than inches Of Virginia
mud.
The annual town reports show . bal
ance In fiuances Of 81, 1873 in the towns

of debt as far As consistent with good
management. A good policy COO for the
taxpayer.
