Fateful Moments in Skowhe-
gan's Industrial History

Tradition has it that the men who
developed the cotton mills at Lewis
ton first came to Skowhegan and
proposed to establish their business
here. They planned to build canal
from the Falls to the Great Eddy and
line its banks with factories much
as they did too in the spindle city.
Parties who owned the needed land
and water power asked such eXhor-
bitant prices that the cotton mill
men left in disgust. Skowhegan, ac-
cording to this tradition, lost its op-
portunity to become a cotton mill
center and has remained town OF
four to six thousand when it might
have been city of 10000
On another occasion, perhaps the
first momentus one after the incident
above narrated, the fates were kind

tablished here in a small way. 1t

capital and the ability to put it on a
paying basis. One of their number
was sent to Troy, N. Y, where they
had learned was just the man they
wanted The envoy was the late l..
w. Weston and the man who was
sent for was young Scotchman,
Lewis Anderson, by name afterwards
prominent in Skowhegan history.
Young Anderson was found in an I'M
pretentious room surrounded by
samples of yarn, fabric and other tex
tile material. He was so deeply en-
gagged in the study of different col
ored threads and patterns that he
seemed scarcely to hear the offer
made by Mr.. Weston. When he did
pause it was only to turn the propo-
sition down.
Mr.. Weston had gone the limit as
to the terms so far as authority from
his associates was concerned. So
strongly was he impressed however
with the young Scotchman's person.
atty that he exceeded his instruc
lions making somewhat a more at
tractive offer on his own response
bility. This additional inducement
won the day Mr.. Anderson came to
Skowhegan and developed the textile
business until it was the backbone of
our industrial life. From the mills
operated by him came other textile
enterprises, the story of which can be
told in q later chapter.
The incident shows how hesitation
or a wrong decision at critical mo-
ment may cost our community very
dear indeed A timid man, or more
often selfish one, at such a crisis
may set his town back for ten or
twenty years. The towns that pros
per, and wherein prosperity comes to
everyone, are those whose citizens
are ever on the alert to see the right
thing to do and the time to do it and
are not afraid to incur responsibility
or to make sacrifices for the public
good.

ton is an unfair expression of the
Will of the Republican party, such
nominee doesn't deserve support
Theodore Roosevelt would not sup
port a nomination made after the
fashion of the Muskogee convention
he didn't IN 1912.
If you or Mr.. Disney, or Mr. Run
yam know of a misstatement in this
letter | shall be pleased to have you
point it out; and | am assuming that
| ought to have the correction 10y

to offer.
If you know of no party harmony
reason to forbid it. / will offer my
name as delegate at large on the
platform of my letter to you on Jan
uary 10, 1916.
I recall that Mr.. Disney told me
that in no case was the candidate for
congress from this district to come
from Muskogee. If this is in the in
terest of harmony and a square deal
to the outside counties it would in
some measure modify my attitude
toward that county. However, if ii
is for the purpose of having some one
from the Sticks run for congress
to carry an empty honor to defeat,
and to give you free hand to distrib-
ute the little patronage that might
be the districts potion. that is al
together another matter.

That House Resolution No. 103S4,

un-American and unfair measure is
the opinion of NJ. RUBIN of this city,
who has written Congressman James
S. Davenport asking him to oppose the
bill.
In his letter to the representative
Mr.. Rubin calls attention to the fact
that the Hebrew Sheltering and I'm
migrant Aid Society of America Is
making a campaign against the pro-
posed law, Mr.. Rubin is "a director in
this organization and that accounts
for his activity in the matter.
Among other things Mr.. Rubin said:
II hope you realize that we are op.
posed, and unalterably so, to the ad-
mission into this country of those who
are mentally. morally and physically
unfit, but they can be kept out under
the present statutes. In asking you to

In reply Congressman Davenport
wrote as follows:

plying to your letter of recent
