are highly pleased with the country.

These falls are probably the largest IN
the State, and in distance OF mile The
tall is l62 feet inches. The power IS
that of the entire Andro3coggm river,
plunging through marrow gorge. The
river is but 90 feet wide, and dams can
be built for "a song. a natural route lor u
canal is provided. The cost of develop
ing this massive power would be but
trivial compared with that of any other
power of equal capacity. The bed and
sides of the stream are granite ledge and
the rocks suitable for building. The
Maine Central Directors and others look
ed at this superb power in amazement.
Could they have heard the whistle of the
locomotive they would have been proud
to think that the Maine Central had so
splendid elimination in the Upper An
droscoggin Valley. What = territory
here to tap-the valleys of the Ellis and
Swift rivers, beside The neighboring
towns, and more than all the inevitable
building up oil mills on this great water

BIS single machine, Frank Holman's
carriage factory, Chaplin Virgins thresh-
ing machines. The power is owned by
Mr. V and others, and they will sell to
whoever means business on favorable
terms.
Mr. Wells estimates the capacity OF
this water power, in q drouth at 1874
net horse power. or 95S. 44O spindles, or
over twice the capacity of the water

ment OF this power would create city of

how sounds that but it is the prophecy
of the roar of your magnificent water
fall, And the dream is not more impos-
sible OF realization than was the dream
of some OF our Lewiston veterans only =
quarter century ago, that Lewiston might
sometime be a smart city
The view Of the falls from its summit
is imposing. Twas well worth the
