A NEW YACHT CLUB.
Interested People Want Old Dam in
Canal at Augusta Restored.

Apropos the reports from Augusta
concerning the proposed lock in the
canal opposite the plant of the Ed
wards Manufacturing Co. in that city
comes a response in Waterville in the
form of proposed Waterville Yacht
Club. A large number of Waterville
citizens interested in boating argue
that they are prevented from enjoying
a sport for which they are by nature
well located on account of the fact that
the kennebec river is not, as in former
days, open to navigation. A prominent
citizen of this city left for Augusta
Friday afternoon to confer with friends
regarding the idea of petitionng the
State Legislature next winter in regard
to having the lock replaced which was
removed from the canal some four
years ago.
The Journal conferred with a num-
Der of citizens Friday concerning this
matter and their opinions will he of
interest. Said DR.. NJ. $. Goodrich: Il
understand that four years ago the
State Legislature gave the Edwards
Manufacturing Co power to remove
the lock in the canal. 1t seems to me
that if sufficient pressure is brought
to bear in another direction for the
lock to be replaced, the Legislature
would be obliged to act accordingly.
Previous to the time when the canal
was taken out, for several years | uh-
dcrStand that there was no demand
for it: but the times have changed
considerably since then. For instance,
| and several others in Waterville own
boats on the coast. | have to 20 dOWS
to my summer place about once every
two weeks during the summer. Why
shouldn't have right to the natural
water way?
If Augusta would like to enjoy &
friendly rivalry among the members Of
her yacht club and better sport, Of
course such a measure would add
greatly to both by being connected with
Watcrville."
j. A. Stewart is another citizen quite
actively interested in this movement
and his interest has taken very prac-
teal manifestation. He has been put
ting in his spare moments through the
winter constructing a gasoline launch
90 feet long with d beam of 6 feet. 1t is
a beauty and scores of his friends have
called at his shop from time to time,
taking great interest in his progress
and admiring the launch. Friday the
boat was hauled from the shop on
trucks and given her initial dip in the
Kennebec river at the point known as
the Bay" near the mouth of the Sc
basticook river in Winslow. Today
Mr. Stewart will start for the Atlantic
Ocean via Augusta. When asked what
course he intended to pursue on reach
ing the Capital. he said: well, | am
not saying much about that just now.
1 will say. though. that l am going to
find out what provisions the parties
have made for such cases. where men
are deprived the right to navigate
their boats on the river on account of
other interests"
1t is also stated on authority that a
petition is to be started to be signed
by parties between Waterville and Au-
gllsta who favor the making of this
change, the petition to come before the
Legislature next winter.
