Town Offcers for Ensung year Town meetng s not so very far a- rny, when t wll be necessary to elect oflcers for ensung year and transact usual amount of busness. Every year brngs new problems to he solved, esp e c ally ^ a town that s ae progressve as Houlton; money mast be rased for publc mprovements, but wth t all good busness lodgment should be used, f a town s affars are to be conducted as y AOtd, on busness prncples. A man who cannot conduct hs own tmstaess successfully, s not knd % me" that town should select to conduct ts affars. Money whch Je approprated for certan purposes t dnulf he expended for what t s ntended, and that only, and f t s not expended for ths specfc purpose, t should be carred over and naed next year, but not used to m up a defcency n some or department. HoUHon s offcals durng past poor have been exceedngly effcent, work of selectmen, as Shown by r monthly statement as publshed n ' columns of ths phper, shows good Judgment, and excellent busness ablty. Ths Board conssts of F. A. Peahody, Howard W ebb and Robt. M. Law- Me, wll be canddates for re-electon, fm f gg far as we know re wll be Thnk se thngs over, Mr. Taxpayer, and see f ths s not good busness. np opposton to m. t s an acknowledged fact that a man can do better work second or thrd year n a poston of ths knd*than he can frst year, so that contnually offoera, especally Board, la not a wse thng to do. Many of our boat ctsens realse ths, and wth that n vew have nserted an artcle m warrant for ths year, to see f Jown wll vote to elect 3 selectm eafor 8, 1 and 1 year respectvely, at ^ la future, f that s done, at.wlll only he necessary to elect one selectman each year, or n or mads, each man wll after ths year he elected for 3 years nstead of one. la >ku way a may be able to plan hta work ahead from year to year. Awxmg many or thngs whch should he provded for comng year are: A start oa pavng square, and tns not oa(p have somethng subbut n end save money, and do a lttle toward t each year. Wo had a start on ths two years ago, hut money was used for or purposes, and people dd not get what y wanted, and what y pad for. A motor truck should be purchased fler hautfnr gravel and ths too, would Ue u great savng to town n beng able to do work quckly as t s needed, and n when truck s not workng t would not be costng anythng except nterest on nvestment. The Motor Chemcal has gven much TMES AROOSTOOK satsfacton, not only has t responded very quckly to alarms, but n two W. P. Mansur has a crew of men 4p sea t has saved at least $4,000, for employed at Nckerson Lake engaged koperty owners, by beng re when,n movng hs log cabn across 14 was needed, and a great loss from 'lake to a new ste whch be recently water damage by use of chemcal elmnated. purchased, ths wll make a most de-! srable locaton for hs summer home The present offcers of town have conducted r several depart!as t wll be much easer of access. ments n a most satsfactory manner, and t does not seem as though t would be good busness durng se crtcal tmes to make any change. The present Board have confdence of tax-payers, and affars have been well conducted. There probably are ors who are ust as smarl^as se men are, but f experence means anythng se men are valuable for town. The past season has been an extremely hard one for Road department, yet under Road Agent Forter roads have been well kept.!especally sdewalks whch have,demanded a great deal of attenton, and yet wth all tbs, department wll keep wthn appropraton. The teams have been haulng gravel all wnter for comng season, and re s now a crew cuttng wood, from stumpage bought by town, whch wll be used for poor durng wnter of Both of se t can readly be seen wll be pad for out of ths year s appropraton, but wll not be used untl next year, an advantage of havng select- men foresgh ts enough to save money for town, and yet ner one of se wll be used untl next year.

Flangeman St. Peter. who was klled, was n flanger car whch was badly wrecked. At o'clock plow extra No. 59 n charge of Conductor T. H. Brggs and Engneer A. Somervlle, crashed nto rear of passenger tran No. J 9, whch was watng for lne to be cleared, telescopng rear coach and smokng car. A gale durng nght had pled huge drfts over sngle track lne. A plow was sent out early n day to clear lne. When t reached a pont near Carbou t struck a sold mass of snow whch slowed t down almost to a standstll. A passenger tran whch was followng close behnd could not be stopped quckly enough to prevent ts runnng nto plow. t s supposed that snow, pcked up from ground and swrled about by gale so blnded crew of followng plow that y dd not see tran n tme to stop. As ths plow vas gong at hgh speed n order to have suffcent power to buck drfts t smashed te way clear through rear coach of tran. As quckly as possble after collson a wreckng crew was sent to scene of wreck, toger wth physcans and members of Carbou fre department. The nured passengers were cared for. As unoffcal rmometers regstered 30 l { degrees below zero work of rescue was dffcult and re was much sufferng. The track was blocked for many hours, not beng cleared untl 9.20 followng day. The passenger tran, due n Carbou at 3 o clock Tuesday afternoon had been slowly workng ts way from Bangor through drfted snow and over ce blocked swtches all day Tuesday and through nght hours. As soon as t collded wth frst plow, rear brakeman hurred back to ward followng plow but thckly blowng snow prevented engneer seeng hm, though trans were on a straght track. Grange mll s assured of ust so much more grst for grndng, and best of all food wll be produced and manufactured here at home. Aroostook can rase ust as good wheat as Mnnesota, Mchgan or Oho, and wth uncertantes of potato market a fanner may dversfy hs crops and not be any worse off than he would to rase potatoes wth uncertan prce, where wheat has been establshed at $2.10 per bushel.
