whole Of the northern part of Maine
and which forms the boundary be-
tween Maine and the provinces Of
Quebec and New Brunswick for dis
tance Of 20 miles. has three important
tributaries in this State. viz: Ala

these the Allasash is most inaccessible
and is rarely visited except by sports
siderable undeveloped water power IN
its basin, which will at some time
doubtless be used in the manufacture
of pulp and paper. Fish river. which
is the smallest OF the three. has i'm
portant undcvcloped water powers De-
tween Wailagr.lss and Fort Kent.
which will doubtless be utilized wlthln
a few years. as the new Fish River
railroad renders the transportation
facilities good. AroOstoOk river has
less water power than the other two
within the State. Its greatest power
lies Just across the boundary line IN
the Province OF New brunswick. Small
powers are. however. used at Ashland
and Caribou.
st. Croix river. which forms a part
OF the eastern boundary OF Maine. has
much undeveloped water power. At
the present time the developments at
Calais and ST. Stephen are the only
ones of importance on the river. y
large development for the manufac-
ture Of pulp and paper at Spragues
Falls is contemplated in the near flu
ture. The How Of this river is con-
trollcd by ons of the best systems of
lakes in New England, and by them is
maintained at an abnormaily hiSh
stage even in the longest drouth.

The investigations of New England
streams by the United States GeolOgi-

been discovered. The Journal has re-

covering this important work.
