trated by Tho plans that are being
formed. some of which are already be
ing carried out, TO develop water pow
ers for the use of manufacturers. The
scale on which, these water power de-
Nelopments will be made is shown by
the fact that at one place alone, Il
point on a stream in Alabama, an in
.Nestment of SlT,o00,000 is contemplated,
it being estimated that IT Will require
that much capital TO carry out the
companys ambitious plans
Three and one-half million dollars

THE AROOSTOOK STARCH INDUSTRY

1t was with some surprise that we read
an article in the Fort Fairfield Review on
"'The Passing of the Starch Factory, " in
which it was said that "The starch fac
tory in Aroostook is no longer neces-
sity." 1t was naturally supposed that
paper published in the Garden of Maine
would speak advisedly on matter of
such importance to that section; and I'M
less Aroostook was going out Of the po-
tato business it would seem that the
starch factory must be needed adjunct
TO the industry. Two of our Aroostook
exchanges which have since come to
hand view the matter in very different
light. The Aroostook Republican says
that it was not so very many years ago
when factory potatoes brought higher
price than what is termed market
stock and it cannot account for the
appearance at this time for such an Ill.
Judged article unless it can be laid al
