DEVELOPMENT OF
WATER POWER ON
ST. JOHN RIVER.

Van Buren,, Sept. Pit is learned
here on what is considered excellent
authority that the plans for the de-
yelopment of the tremendous water
power at the Grand Falls of the St
John river, about 10 miles below this
town, are rapidly reaching a head
through the acquisition of the CONTROL
ling interests OF the Grand Falls Pow
er 60. by the International Paper Co.
Fer years it has been expected that
possibilities of the falls would be put
to some use and the powers, which is
said to be second to Niagara in the
East, utilized.
Ii is expected that plans now under
way will be put into execution in the
near future by the International Paper
Co, said to be in control of the Grand
Falls power The plans call for the
development of the falls, which engi-
neers say are capable of producing in
excess of 10000 horsepower, and the
erection of a pulp and paper plant at
or near Grand Falls which will mean
an expenditure of about $2,5o0,000.
The purchase of the timber land
holdings of Hon. Edward II. Blake Of
Bangor for $1.05O,OOO, during the past
year, and of the Murchie timber lands
by parties who are believed to have
represented the International Paper
Co, gives additional strength to the
