FLYING POSTAL SERVICE
Delivers First Letter Monday to Ora

Boston, Sept. 19-Postmarked First
United Kingdom Aerial Post. Sept g.,
the first letter by the flying postal
service to arrive in the United States
was received at 730 yesterday MORN
ing by Claude Grahame-W White at the

The envelope bears an engraving OF

First u. X Aerial Post.
by sanction of H. NJ. Postmaster
General
For convenience by aeroplane from

Central Maine Power Co.
Buys Street Railways.
Purchase Also Includes Power
Stations, Water Rights, Etc.
Expected That Change Will Bring
improvements to WatervilIe.

The public will be much Interested
to learn that the electric competition
which has been carried on in Water
vile for more than 10 years has been
terminated by the purchase of a con-
trolling interest in the Waterville a.
Fairfield Railway & Light Co.. and all
the stock of the Union Gas & Electric
Co. and the Watervile & Oakland
Street Railway by the Central Maine
Power Co.
During the time that this contest
has been carried or d great deal of
unnecessary expense has been incurred
in maintaining extra forces of men
and in building duplicate lines
throughout the city of Waterville. 1t
| is the aim of the management of the
Central Maine Co. To do away with
these unnecessary expenses and to
clean up the streets of Wateryille as
rapidly as possible by consolidating
the different pole lines into one Wher-
ever such a move is possible.
The property which passes under the
control of the Central Maine Power
Co by this purchase consists of the
w dttt Nitit 4 IItib s11it iNeAIl " Il y
the Waterviie & Oakland Street Rail
way, the two power stations on the
dam across the Kennebec river at
Fairfield. the Bangs Station, so-called,
on the Kennebec river dam at Water
Vile and the power station of the
Union Gas & Electric. Co. on the
Messalonskee stream. together with all
the water rights on the head waters
of that stream.
One of the very interesting features
of putting these properties together is
the placing in the hands of one party
of the entire control of the water in
the Belgrade lakes, thus doing away
with the extreme waste which has
gone on under competitive conditions,
when one company was constantly
striving to get water for it's own pur-
poses, regardless of the rights of
others.
Combined with the power stations
already controlled by the Central
Maine Co. this will give il hydraulic
capacity of something over 5000 horse
power and steam capacity. when its
new station which is now being built
at Farmingdale is completed, of some
thing over 5000 horsepower.
The policy of the Central Maine
Power Co will remain the same as it
has in the past, that is. to give its
customers all that it possibly can for
their money and to use every effort to
improve the service and increase the
industrial activity in the community.

Of Result in Canadian

Claims a Decisive Victory.
Laurisr and Bourassa ADDRESS
Great Crowds al Montreal.

- ottawa, sept t9.--With election but
day distant both political parties in
Canada have become perceptiblv nerv
Gus. The party press and the political
speeches are showing the strain of the
long fight and are less logical and
more reckless than a week ago. To-
day number of manufacturers sHs-
pended operations and ordered out
their Worknaen to hear an anti-reei-
procity address delivered in their fac
tory yards. In Ottawa this was done
by the E. B. Eddy Co. of which the
head is ". II. Rowley, president of the
Canadian Manufacturers Association.
The propfietors ef large packing
plant stated to their workmen that if
reciprocitg carries they will have to
close down Notices Of similar char
acter have been issued by a number of
manufacturers in Canada.
Anti-rcciprocitY means annexation.
Speeches bv Champ Clark and other
American champions of annexation are
being printed in big types ON front
pages The Liberals are warning the
people 10 vote fer reciprocity and
heir own pocket" and denounee the
.nnexation cry as mlHonares
ubtle refuge to mislead the electors.
Each side claims the victory. \ big
vote is certain to be polled. Dry
weather has continued SO long
throughout the country that it will
scarcely be possible for rains to spoil
the roads before Thursday and make
1t difficulty for the rural vote To come
out.
Few wagers are being made. The
prevailing odds are three to one that
the government will he sustained and
even money that the government ma
jority will be 30 or over.

~ all reciprocity, for or against, and
the trade agreement has been present.
cd in ali forms to attract the voters
to the government policy and equally
vigorously it has been tonr up and
turned against Canadian interests by
papers supporting r. l.. Borden. the
Conservative leader.
The most marked feature of the
whole campaign however, has been
the waving of the "oid flag This has
been the Conservative appeal in great
part-that reciprocity was but step
towards annexation of Canada by the
Americans and consequent breaking
of the Dominion's political connection
with the British empire. Disloyalty
has been proclaimed from the plat
form and preached from the press in
the appeal to the voters to defeat the
reciprocity agreement.
The Liberals have met this by quot
ing conservative leaders from the days
of Sir John A. Macdonald down as
eager for reciprocity with the United
States They also have contended
that between Henri Bourassa, leader
of the French Nationalist party in
Quebec, and the Conservative leaders
there is practical alliance. The Ma
tionalists fight is chiefly made against
Laurier's policy of Canadian navy
to be at the disposal of Great Britain
in case of any empire war
The Liberals have sought to break
the Conservative loyalty attack by
stating that King George is most anxl-
Gus for the peace arbitration treaty
with the United States
The polls will open at A. NJ. and
close at P, NJ, and two hours after
wards there should be a fair indica-
ton of the result in the eastern prov
inces.
