CHASE.LISTER SHOWS
PROVE A SUCCESS
Presented High Class Plays TO Full
Houses Four Nights This
Week.

The Chase Lister Theater com
pany played here to full house
four nights this week and were
well appreciated by ali who saw
them. The company's troupe con
sistlng of ten persons. proved to
be entertainers Of exceptional ahil-
lty, each part being well given
with music and specialties of the
highest class. Clint and Bessie
Robbins in their presentation of
the feature acts were the chief at
fractions and were very popular
with our people. The Ladies Or
chestra furnished good music
throughout the entertainments
The plays given were the best in
their class AID each actor showed
fine talent in rising to the demands
or the q ftelent parts.
Owing TO the smallness of the
hall the plays were staged under
difficulties, and the atte.. dance was
not what it otherwise would
have been. This bespeaks the
need Of an uO-tO date OnQra hon so
here, in which the best of results
might be obtained from good
plays.
The company left Friday morn
ing for Mcintosh, where they will
play a couple nights. Those who
witnt sstd the plays here are anxi-
Gus to have the company return to

ton of Brassua Lake reservoir.
The above table shows that such
increased power would have a total
value of $3lS,475 to present industries.
This amount could therefore have been
expended on the construction of dam
and the creation of storage in Brass
sua lake and would have paid for
itstlf in four years
Looking at it in another way. the
yearly average of the above total val
ne is S79,620, which capitalized at
per cent. would give 1882. 400, the
value of the Brassua lake storage to
existing industries.
Similar computations for a 10-year
period from 1902 to 1910, inclusive. or
since the establishment of the gag
ing station on tie kennebec river at
The Forks. show that if Brassua lake
storage had been in operation for
this period, the total value of the ex-
cess horsepower during the low water
stages would have been $6i0,S70 or a
yearly average of s6f.0s7, which, IL CAP
italized at per cent would have Civ
en- total valuation of $1,2Sl,740.

A STATE FARM.
Councillor 'kilgore Suggests New Solu-
ton State Pauper Problem.

A new solution of the State pauper
problem has been suggested by DR..
Gustavus c. Kilgore of Belfast, d
member of the Governors Council
DIR. Kilgore advocates a State poor
farm, place, where people. who are
now receiving aid from the State
could earn a considerable part of their
living, instead of existing entirely by
State bounty. Pownal has already
been suggested as the location of such
an institution, TO consist of comfort
able frame houses. rather than ex-
pensive brick buildings.
1t is possible that such solution of
the State pauper problem may be at
tempted. 1t is believed that such a
farm with proper management would
be nearly self-supporting and the
State would be relieved of consider
able burden on the taxpayers. 1t is
also thought that the establishment
of such an institution would tend to
reduce the number 81 applications for
aid, if it was well understood that APP
plicants would be expected, if able, to
go to the State farm and earn a por-
ton of their living.

The statute in question is the only

Need of Competent inspection.
The above statute, says the bulletin,
was evolved out of several bills in
troduced before or considered by mem
bers of the 1909 Legislature. Many Of
those who believed the State should
have such a law were of the opinion
that the inspector referred to should
be under the control and direction of
the secretary of State. Others were
equally as firm in the belief that in
spection was a proper work for the
insurance department. The municipal
officers were finally agreed upon. This
arrangement has its disadvantages,
but whoever does the inspection should
be a competent person.
Patrons of moving picture entertain
ments should be given every reaIiza-
ton that a competent man has pass
ed on the apparatus, it's housing. and
a
in the law too, but this defect is so
plain. and the potential consequences
of incompetent inspection are so ter
rible. that it is hoped the 1913 Leg
islatufe will remedy it by amendment
What seem to be other defects are
more in the nature of errors of omis-
sion than commission.
comr. Havey's Suggestions.
"The statute does very we'll so far
as it goes but we believe ii would be
more satisfactory and effective by hav-
ing embodied therein the following
suggestion says Commissioner
Havey.
The person or prisons, who are Civ
en- the authority in inspect, should
have the additional authority to make
such reasonable rules and regulations
for the safe use OF the apparatus for
the protection of the patronizing pub
lie as may be deemed necessary.
There should be power given to some
one to revoke or suspend the license
for cause at any time during the year.
What constitutes proper grounds for
suspension or revocation should be de-
termined by the proper authorities
Operator should be obliged to pass
an examination of such a character as
would prove him thoroughly skilled.
and in the event of his having passed
one satisfactory examination, 1t
should be a matter of discretion on
the part of the proper authorities
whether he shall be re-licensed with
out further examination.
