Will Furnish Current for the
Winthrop & Wayne Light
And Power Co.

On account of the inability Of the
| Winthrop & Wayne Light & Power
Co to secure power enough from its
water plant located near the outlet
of Wings pond between that pond
and Androscoggin pond in Wayne, to
generate electric current sufficient to
successfully operate its light and
power service, the Central Maine
Power Co. has contracted with the
above corporation to furnish sufficient
current for both purposes and to that
end has a crew of men now at work
stringing the necessary wire to the
two towns.
The Central Maine Power Cos.
high tension line carrying $4,000 volts
has been tapped on the Written road
and the voltage of the line from
there to Winthrop will, by the use
of transformers, be reduced to 10000.
The line to winthrop will be about
10 miles in length and the current
furnished to the two towns, Winthrop
and Wayne, will be 2300 volts which
is sufficient for the purposes requir-
ed. The line, which will be carried
for the greater part of the distance
across the fields, is now completed as
far as Manchester Forks and it is

I'M THE WAR ZONE
Miss Mildred Burrage, Formerly of
Togus, Now Near Paris.

The following letter written by Ma
Jor H. S. Burrage, former chaplain at
the National Home at Togus. to an
Augusta friend, relative to his daugh-
ter, Miss Mildred Burrage, who is now
IN the War zone, Will be of especial
interest to that young lady's friends in
this city and elsewhere. Miss Burrage
is painting at Giverny. an artists COL
ony near Paris, and is living with the
FAMILY of DR. Johnston:
We have heard twice from Mildred,
once on Aug. and again today. But
this last letter was written a week ago
today and the letter of Aug. was
written on the LIST. On Monday a week
ago 1t had not appeared to them that
there was any way out of France as
all the railroads We're in use hurrying
troops to the front. They could not
leave Giverny without permission from
a town rs or so miles away, and DR..
Johnston had not decided what to do
with MS family. We are in hopes that
when mobilization was overland the
arrival of Mildred's letter would seem
to indicate that there is now less pres
sure-they were able to leave and we
are hoping that they will be able to
get to one of the channel ports of
France and so make their way to
England"

OF course 1T must be admitted that
any automobile will not run far with
the gasoline shut off. Practically all
machines have been put to the test and
found that they must have the gas TO
run just the same as the human being
must have food to exist. A very inter-
esting incident to those who We're
doing the looking on, but not quite SO
inter esting to the fellow who was try
ing to start his machine. took place
Monday afternoon on Water street
The victim of the joke was one of the
gentlemen who operates a public car
He had left his machine about half
way up Water street while he went
and got lunch. In the meantime, one
OF his friends who says that he had
Just AS soon have his name omitted in
the sketch, got down under his car
and turned off the gasoline. Before do
ing SO he had. arranged with one of
Augesta's prominent men to go up
and ask the victim of the joke to take
MIN home in the car With his face
bearing faint smile Mr.. - got into
the car. The driver suspected that
something was up and asked what he
was trying to do with him. But of
course the passenger was innocent.
Inc machine was cranked and started
ran as Tar as the Augusta fruit store
ana stopped. 1t was cranked again and
this time continued to the grocery
store OF Edison Locke, where it stoned
ana absolutely refused to go any far
ther. As the passenger was in a hurry
90 get down to the lower end of the
street he got out of the car, informing
ire owner on whom the joke was being
playe5 that he was a Jonah and that
IL ne ever got into an auto or a. motor
boat that it always stopped. To make
lons story short, the owner of the car
commenced to crank, but crank as
nara as he would it would not go. An
ethef man appeared upon the scene
anu informed the then exhausted man
that his gasoline was turned off nm
uerheath the machine. Even then the
owner did not know just how the fuice
could be turned off in that manner
put luckily someone familiar with
cars came along and turned on the
gasoline. Although somewhat angry ae
tie large crowd that had collected
was having no small amount of amuse-
ment, he got into his car and drove
off.
