A Communication.

Editors of the Kennebec Journal:
The communication in the Kennebet
Journal, Monday morning, on the condi
ton OF the river and future consequences,
it seems to me, was without foundation,
and must have originated in the brain
of some person misinformed as to the
facts. While such O state of affairs as
chat the writer pictured may be possible,
yet it is highly improbable that such o
disaster would ever come about.
The people of the valley Of the lower
kennebeo have no fears but that the same
Overriding Power that placed the river
ia its present condition will see to it that
the ice will be worn away by the rays of
the warm spring sun and pass quietly ont
of the river without damage to any body.
He who writes aD article like that
which appeared in your paper this morn
ing. does more harm to nervous, timd
people up and down the valley of the Ken
nebec, than three days warm rain would
do under the present conditions. The
facts are, that while the ice was no doubt
in some places jammed to the bottom an
immense quantity of water has forced its
way through these masses at different
points during the past week, and has III
its muddy condition greatly worn away
Ihese jams all along the river
4 gentleman who has occasion to cross
The river several times day. informs me
chat the water is continually changing
the cakes of jamme1 ice into different
positions, so that he finds it exceedingly
dangerous to go back by the same path
that brought him safely over. Hence,
In .orlrlrsipn iS NAT ic ~.
much faster than those who are not in n
position to know the facts would naturally
suppose
At this writing, am looking from my
office window to e place in the river that
the water has already worn its way
through the ice to the surface. The river
having gone back almost to it's normal
condition, it shows plainly that the water
mas found an opening in the jams above
referred to.
In my candid opinion within two or
three weeks with the sun running as high
rs it does at this time of year. that the
river from bearings ice houses in the
east channel and the jetties in the west
channel to lceboro, will be ar open stretch
Of water, thereby floating all logs and
lumber so that much of this property will
be secured
While l deplore the condition that the
elements have placed the people of the
Kennebec river in, yet, | believe large
portion of the loss will have to be sus-
tained by the people who are engaged in
the same business that | am Interested in.
Believing as do that it will be absolutely
necessary for the Kennebec Log Driving
Company to assume charge of the whole
matter, have full confidence in their board
of directors, and l believe they will take
early action to guard their own interests
and that of every individual on the Ken
nebec river.
Yours truly,
NJ. p. MILLIKEN.

STATE BOARD OF TRADE.
augusta Delegates to Semi annual Meeting to
Be Held at WatervilIe.

Inc following delegates have been ap-
pointed to represent the Augusta board OF
trade at the semi-annual meetings of the
State board, to be held at Waterville,
March IS, at 2 P. NJ: C. s. Hichborn,
NJ Y. b. Chase, H. G. Staples, W. H.
Williams, and Hon. J. W. Chase. Mr..
Hlchborn, the president of the Augusta
board, has been rapidly recovering from
MS unfortunate accident of the first of the
winter, but will not be able to attend the
coming meeting of the State board.
The local boards throughout the State
are cordially invited to send delegates to
represent the interests of their respective
cities, for the discussion of such matters
as may be considered important and use
ful in promoting such general interests of
the State as outlined in the programme Of
subjects to be presented by able men.
The basis of representation of delegate S
having the right to vote, is that every
board of trade having so members or less,
will be entitled to two delegates; and for
every 25 members additional, one dele
gate Associations having 200 members
shall he entitled to only one delegate for
every 90 over that number.
The boards not in membership are in
vited to send delegates, who can be voted
into the State board, in season to partici.
pate in the business of the convention.
The railroads will pass delegates to and
from Waterville, one fare for the round
trip.
