THE EATON STRIP.
More Difficulties Over Dam Built by
St. Croix Paper Co.

Difficulties early face the Legisla ture
because of the new dam built by the
st. Croix Paper Co. The territory in.
volved being in Washington county ano
the question over the title to what is
known as the Eaton strip. Several
months ago, this corporation had sew
cral hundred men at work on dane
on Indian township. This would flow
some State land and cause other COM
plications that required the attention
OF the State officials
Land Agent Mace at once informed
the Governor and council of what was
going on and then told the paper COM
pany that unless some settlement was
made with the State for the damage
caused. he would apply for an injunc-
ton to stop the work. pending a de-
cision as to the States rights in the
matter. Cyrus G. Babb, chief engineer
of the water storage commission. was
instructed by the Governor and coun-
ell To investigate the matter. His re-
port was presented to the council on
Dec. 10.
Weather conditions have been so I'M
favorable and water in the Maine lakes
and streams SO low for several years
up to 1911 that the St Croix Co. found
that il did not have power enough for
it's big plant at Woodland near Calais
and therefore decided to build a dam
half a mile below the junction of the
East and West branches of the St
CroiX river and about seven miles
above Woodland. This dam, which is
of concrete. is expected to develop ulti-
mately 1900 horsepower. The perma
nent crest will have an elevation of 1879
feet and provisions are made for flash
boards four feet high. Water stored by
this dam will flow land more or less
for about 50 miles back, Including some
owned by the State.
The paper company has been rely
ing on the mill act. SO called. for
legal authority for this big develop
ment and il is understood has reach
ed satisfactory settlement with all
of the private owners. Under the mill
act dam can be built and lana over
flowed, The Supreme court being ask
ed to appoint commission to fix the
damages when there is any trouble
over a settlement. The paper corr
pany evidently thought tine State land
could be handled in the same way, but
the matter has never been fully decid-
ed legally and there are other compli-
cations in this particular section, hence
the Legislature will doubtless be asked
to straighten the matter out.
Along in 1860 when a small value
was placed on Maine tmberands the
State gave away a strip a mile wide
along one side of Indian township on
the condition that the owners should
maintain public highway across the

many remedies for il but did not find
relief.
"Then I decided l must diet and see
if l could overcome the difficulty that

/ find there is a considerable pride
and interest among tho Indians in
caring for their cemetery. Their pub
lie local society has been raising mon
ey this year by entertainments and
otherwise which they plan to expend
next year in identifying their cemetery
grounds. | have aided myself in this
line the present year by having gravel
hauled for the driveway within.
Hydrants.
The legislature of 1911 appropriated
$500 for the purchase of hose to be
expended when the Indians themselves
should provide the hydrants. In 1911
the Waterworks Company was so driV-
en- with large contract work that they
could not install the hydrants and in
consequence the appropriation iapsed
into the state treasury. ! earnestly
hope that the forthcoming legislature
may again appropriate like sum for
the very necessary purpose for provid-
ing the Indians means for eXtinguish-
ing fires. in which event | hope to be
able to pursuade the Waterworks COM
pany to take the view that it is now
our turn to be provided with hHdrants.
Wells.
The only public we'll on Indian Is
land was located on the convent lot
and when The new convent was built
in 1911 ii was deemed necessary to 90
away with the we'll. Since that time
almost all of the Indians have been
obliged to use river water for drink
ing purposes. 1t hardly needs any
argument TO show that couple OF good
wells on the island would serve a most
useful purpose, One we'll should be
placed on the common and one on Oak
hill. if the legislature. in its generosity
should see fit to provide these wells
| am sure the Indians would greatly
appreciate such action ana would be
very grateful for it.
Conclusion.
The baskets and other wares made
by the Indians have found ready sale
and on the whole the year has proved
quite prosperous for them.
