TURBINE TO PUMP
CITY WATER

Chief Engineer Kienle Of the Water De-
partment purposes to install turbine
pumping plant at the pumping station by
which he believes two-thirds Of the water
used by the city can be pumped.
The department is running a wa
ter wheel near the filter plant
on the Brandywire and from this enough
power is obtained to pump 100000 gal
Ions Of water a day to the Cool Springs
Reservoir. At present only 16 feet OF
power is utilized. The proposed plan would
double the capacity and make the cost OF
running the pumps less than half OF what
It is now. Mr. Kienle thinks the turbine
plant could be installed at cost of about
$4,000. The plan will be presented to the
Water Commissioners.

MILLIONS FOR POTATO CROP
Aroostook County Hopes to Dou-
BILE Last Years Yield in 1909.
Prices of Land and Rates of Wages
Have Increased and General
Prosperity is Assured.

Presque Isle, Me.-The potato is
king in Aroostook County Fully
$12,000,000 has been cleared by the
farmers in that one county on the po-
tato crop Of 1908, the total shipments
to market having been 100000
bushels. This year every piece of
land that will grow potato has
been planted, and the estimate for
the 1909 crop is 100000. If
prices hold good the Aroostook farm
ers will clear no less than $24,000,-
600 after keeping all the potatoes
they need for home USE The price
of potato land has advanced thirty to
fifty per cent and the market is
strong, even at such prices. The
banks in the county simply are
gorged with potato money. Auto
plows and disc harrows are being
purchased, by the farmers and fertili-
ger is being purchased by the carload
lot. Train after train, loaded down
with supplies for the potato growers.
is moving up the line into Aroostook
County. The prosperity is not with
out its drawbacks, however, because
the price of farm labor has advanced
to Civil War rates, and the county is
being overrun with automobile and
piano agents. They are pleading
with the farmers wives and daugh-
tiers to insist that with fortunes,
made it is necessary to have music in
the home and autos in the roads.
The Bangor and Aroostook Rail-
road, which runs through the heart
of the potato district, has carried 12,-
100000 bushels of potatoes since the
marketing movement began last fall
The Canadian Pacific handled about
100000 bushels. An average price
of 81 bushel was realized by the
potato growers. Eighty cents of each
81 is regarded as being profit. In
ordinary years the potato growers are
content with forty cents bushel.
Men, women and children are talking
potatoes in their waking hours and
dreaming about them when they
sleep. The acreage this year is the
largest in history.
