The village of Hastings Is the most peculiar community In the state, 1 not in the whole United States. For while it Is a good sized village and has electric lights, a faultless water system and telephone and telegraph stations the residents seldom, If ever have any money and many of the children who have not been outside of thu place would not know what a dime Is. The place Is located on the western border of tho state between Maine nnd New Hampshire nnd from the location it will be seen that the only business Is that of lumbering. The people neither pay taxes nor vote and even though many of the people have spent their lives In the place, they would not know how to mark a ballot. From this It Is not to bo Inferred that the people are not Intelligent, for they have tho dally papers and are well posted on current events. The town Is practically Isolated from the outside world. There Is no such thing as carriage road leading Into the place and the only means by which a person can get In nnd out Is over the railroad, which Is yearly being pushed farther and farther Into the wood. The reason for the town being so pe culiar Is this: One hundred years ago Richard Batchelder was granted tho land from the state of Massachusetts. About forty years ago 20,000 acres of the land was bought by G. A. Hast ings, of Bethel, and D. R. Hastings, of Fryeburg. They sold a right of way through the territory to the Wild River Lumber company. This right of way was gained that the company might have a chance to operate 40.000 ncres of land across the New Hamp shire line. With so much of a start made the company commence operations. A small stream flows through the gorge, and along this the company built a railroad so as to connect the Grand Trunk road. A sawmill was built, and that the people working In tho sawmill might have places In which to live, smnll, cheap houses were erectei from the stock gotten out In the saw mill. A sewerage system was next built and then came electric lights, the power being furnished by the stream. The place Is in a valley, with moun tains on all sides, and from an excel lent spring at the side of one of those elevations a supply of the purest wa ter Is gained. Instead of having the water brought Into the houses It Is brought to tubs and from these the people get their supply of water. The wnter works, tike the whole town, be long to the company, tho houses aro tho property of the company, the stores In the vllage form one of the company's nssets. It Is for the reason that everything belongs to tho com pany that the people do not have to pay taxes and do not know what money is. The men nre alt employed by .the company nnd are paid off only when they leave the community. When the rent comes due that amount Is de ducted from the wages due the ten ant, When a man wants anything at the store he uses his coupons. In stead of Issuing money the company Isues a book that has much the ap pearance of a mileage book. Each sheet represents so many checks or coupons and these are good at any store. As the company owns tho store thev dictate 'what shall be the legal tender. If the men want wood for fuel they can have all the refuse from the mill free, if the company sends the wood a small sum, 50 cents a cord, Is charged. The place wns recently visited by nn Augusta man, who said that while he was there the men used to shoot deer out of the windows of the sawmill. In speaking further of tho town he said that there Is no constable, as none Is necessary. The whole authority of the place Is vested In one man, who Is the agent of the company and looks after the mill and other property. Deafness Cannot be Cured.
