A large crew of workmen, with full
equipment of donkey engines, der
ricks and hoists, have been rushing
to get the excavating far enough
along SO that contractors, j. n.
Greenleaf & Son, may begin the
building of the forms for the con-
crete dam and power house which is
being put up for added power by the
Orono Pulp & Paper Co. which takes
its electrical power from the falls at
saltwater. The recent high water

Basin Mills plant of the company.
II is understood that, from the pres
ent work, the company expects to add
some 1000 horse power to the electro
resources of the concern. Already
there is considerable power plant at
this same falls, situated in the middle
of the Saltwater river, but the need
of more power is keenly felt by the
Basin Mills plant and To get 1t, the
company has been at work all winter
carrying forward it's plans for this
additional development of one of the
finest water powers in this part or
the State. The dam is a long one,

built part way across the river, but
by the blasting out of the big hole IN
the solid ledge. some 80 feet across
and down to the lower end OF the
present falls, room has been secured
for a new power house which is to be
entirely independent of the old sta

PONY POLO T|RS
Up WILD THRILLS
BY \ G. MENKE.

Nov that an international polo
match in 1914 practically is assured.
the American sport loving public may
look forward with keen anticipation
to Witnessing again the most thrilling
most wonderful sport in the world.
Pony polo, in our opinion, takes
front rank as a generator of thrills.
as a creator Of wild, frenzied enthu-
siasm. We have seen legiOns OF base
ball and football games, looked in on
a few championship boxing bouts,
watched scores of daredevil persons
flirting with death on motorcycles
and in racing automobiles. but none
ever has sent the blood cOursing half
SO fast, or furnished as glorious a
spectacle as pony polo.
The American Big Four won over
the English invaders last June, but
only after playing the g%randest, most
death-defying game ever staged on
any field. But only after they were
forced to the end Of human endurance
forcing to the limit their powerful
ponies, riding with the speed Of a
whirlwind, unmindful Of life or limb.
were they able TO triumph over he
wonderful BritOns.
What are the Americans chances
of repeating the victory in 1914?
This is the big question polo en-

FREE LECTURE

The l. B. S. A. has engaged Mr..
Charles L. Dick of st Paul to
deliver his lecture on "Eden's
Flaming Sword" here next Sunday
at 500 p. m. in the Auditorium.
Mr.. Dick is quoted as saying.
There is not enough of Jesus in
the preaching of today. My own
experience and the experience of
others is like that of the Massachu-
sets pastor who, desiring to know
what pulpit themes the people of
his congregation thought important
and vital, sent out eight hundred
inquiries. The replies he received
were illuminating. The Cross,
was the answer of a man high in
political life. Christ Crucifed'
was the answer of a railroad vice
president, The Gospel was the
answer of leading business man.
And that is the answer of every
man who goes to church for genu-
inc benefit. To the pulpit ever
comes up the cry from the pew,
Sir, we would see Jesus"
The lecture is free and no col.
lection will be taken. All are cor.
daily invited; Christians and non.
Christians, the sincere believer and
the honest skeptic, all are welcome

it until the consumer wakes up and
does something for himself. The
consumer is to blame for good
deal of the high cost of living. Co.
operative buying and selling are
doing something to reduce it but
only an infinitesimal fraction of
either producers or consumers can
or do take advantage of this".
Tariff, currency or remedial leg

expected to improve while the vast

State Aid or Local Streets

Chapter 776 of the laws of 1913
extends the provisions of the state
aid law to villages and to cities of
the fourth class having a popula-
ton of five thousand or less. 1t is
provided in chapter Cos that the
main streets in villages and cities of
the fourth class directly connecting
portions of road then on the
county system of highways shall be
added to the county system of
prospective state highways at the
November meeting of the county
boards.
Chapter 776 provides that villages
and cities may vote or accept sub
scriptions for the improvement of
streets in them, even though these
streets are not now on the system,
and that if they are afterwards put
on the system of roads by the
county board, the improvements
can be made in 1914.
The City Council has taken ac-
ton in this matter, as recorded in
the Council proceedings published
elsewhere in this paper.
