Water Resources of Kennebec
Basin.

Two field parties Of the United States
Geological Survey have been at work ia
the Kennebec basin, making final sur
veys for report On the water resources
and water powers. One party began
work about May u, at Attean Pond and
has made a careful and complete survey
of that body of water as well as a re-
connaissance map of Holeb Pond. A
second party went into the field about
the middle of June and has mapped
Long Pond on Moose River, Roach
Ponds on Roach River. Flagstaff and
Spring Lakes and Garry and Spencer
Ponds 10 the Dead River district. The
results of the work of these areas has
been extremely interesting and large
amount of entirely new information re-
garding storage possibilities and water
power sites has been obtained.
Daily measurements OF flow to deter
mine the amount of water available will
be made as heretofore ut the following
points: North Arson and The Forks
on Kennebec River, Roach River on
Roach River, The Forks on Dead River,
North Arson on Cara bassett River,
Madison on Sandy River, Gardiner on
Cobbossecontee River.
The above work is the continuation of
the investigation that was made last
year by the United States Geological
Survey in cooperation with the Maine
Survey Commission and the results will
be published by the United States Geo
logical Survey in alter Supply paper.
This report will contain chapters de.
scribing the effect of industrial waste
and sewerage on the water supply of the
towns and on the ice industry, the
power possibilities on all the streams in
the basin, the effect of snow storage on
the fl wv of streams, the control Of
stream flow by lake storage, and the re-
lation of log driving and numbering to
power development. The paper will be
an epitome of all available information
regarding the streams and their utlliza-
tion, and it will be of great value to all
industries that 'have occasion to use
water for power or other purposes

The Meat In the Cocoanut
tRu rford Falls Times

Hon. Daniel McGiilcuddy, the
Lewiston Democratic politician, who
is candidate for Congress in the
second District in opposition TO Con-
gresham Littlefield, has opened his
campaign the past week by making
three speeches IN Oxford county, at
Mexico, Andover and at Dixtield, and
the Republicans as well as the Dem
ocrats turned out quite freely 10 hear
him as his reputation as pleasing
speaker has preceded him.
We are advised that in each of his
speeches Mr. McGillcuddy discussed the
pros and cons of the Democratic patty
and the Republican party with his usual
suavitv and with seeming self-satistied
smile on his countenance until he
reached the question of the Sturgs
Commission This subject he touched
upon fairly mildly in his Mexico speech,
grew more intense at Andover and whsn
he reached this subject at his Dlxheld
meeting it fairly seemed that somebody
or something had been or was plagulng
him.
His brow contracted and with much
severity and feeling he pitched right and
left into the Sturgis commission and
finally into its chairman our neighbor
and fellow townsman Hon waldo
Pettengill and fro Ii his manner one
would Judge that he was personally in
telested either in the Commission or the
action of the Commission.
This led to inquiries being made of
parties in Androscoggin County who
know Mr. McGlllcuddy aud are well iu-
formed as to the action of the Sturgis
Com mission to see what WAS the cause
of 80 much feeling as expressed by MI.
McGilcuddy The Times is informed
that the Sturgis Commission in its action
in Androscoggin county has come quite
near to Mr. McGllcuddy' s family The
man, one George Wiseman of Lewiston
is his brother in.law and this man Wise
man has the reputation CT being one of
the noted rum sellers in Lewiston, but,
in sumo way or other has hitherto es
capped the attention of the sherffs of
that county. after the Sturgs Com
missioners entered upon their duties,
County Attorney Crockett WAS enabled
to collect from Wlseman and those
immediately connected with him large
sum OF money said to be ABB 81, 900 on
account of his connection with the rum
business and 80 possibly this fact may
be the real cause of Mr. McGillcuddy,
personal attack on the Sturpis Commiss-
ion aud especially on its chairman
While the successful prosecution of
Wiseman no doubt was unpleasant to
McGiIlcuddy at the same time we do
not see how that jusifies personal
attack by him on off GERS sworn to their
duty, on account of their performing
their duty faithfully aud tearlessly
regardless of the high family connec
tions that the offender might have
so far as Hon. Waldo PettiDgill is
concerned he ia as we'll known and to
put it mildly stands as high in the esteem
of the people of Oxford county, re-
gardless of political parties, as Daniel
McGillcuddy and he needs no defence
in this county or even in the state from
the Times or anyone else and we make
none on his account.
If the Times IS misinformed as to
McGillcuddys connection with Wiseman
or Wiseman's connection with the
courts in Audroscoggin county we
should be glad to learn that fact and
very willingly make prompt repara'ion

The readers Of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all its
stages and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a cunstitu-
tional disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catauh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces Of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation OF the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing It's work. The
proprietors have so much faith in it's
curative powers, that they offer One Hundred

The charge has been openly made that

But here are facts about them that
Candidate Davis cannot evade nor mis-
construe. As to his allegation that no
more State officers are needed in these
days of prosperity and added responsi
blities, it insults Republican intelli
gence to discuss such seriously.
In asserting that the department for
the protection of fish and game costs
more than it did years ago, Mr.. Davis
does not tell his listeners that this extra
cost is practically paid by guide and
sportsmen license fees. he does not
tell the truth and say that the possession
of Maine's vastly increased game reserves
under the enforced protective law means
hundreds of thousands of dollars annual
ly left in the hands of worthy and hard
working guides and camp owners.

cupines, deceased under the bounty act

1t is true that the salaries have been
raised TO agree with the progress Of the times
and the increased cost Of labor and materials,
and in this connection il may be well to re-
member that in 1882 the wages Of brick
mason or plumber was about $500 for IL
hours work, while il is $500 for s hours
work at this time.
AS to the new departments, they
have been added after popular appeal
addressed to the Legislature and voted
for by Democratic representatives as
well as Republicans. They have all
been strictly 10 the line of that "prog-
