A Profit in Waste Water.

One day the people of New England
VIII be truly electrified to learn that
something constructive has been done to-
ward delivering to their hand in fun
force the energy of their streams. There
is even great promise at the present hour
that the beginning of such programme
is not TO be much longer deferred, at
least so far as Massachusetts and New
Hampshire are concerned. In both of
these states the subject has been given
thoughtful consideration by competent
heads specially delegated to the task, in
the one case for nearly decade, and in
the other during the past two years.
Everyone, public authorities, engineers,
manufacturers, power companies, and the
general public, is eager to have the stage
set for action and the legislatures of
both states may be expected to give the
matter the most serious consideration at
the present sessions.
1t is in sense unfortunate that this
problem, the solution OF which will affect
the whole of New England as a unit,
must be handled otherwise than as n
whole As between Massachusetts and
New Hampshire, the states that to-day
seem to be the most ready to meet the
issue with aggressiveness, there has thus
far been manifested disposition to over
come the Righteousness of political
boundaries in spirit of cooperation.
The streams in their courses respect no
such artifcislities as state lines, nor are
they to be coerced by legislatures into
serving the community other than
through a recognition that the physical
laws controlling them are superior to any
written statutes.
Emphasis is given TO this interstate
relation in the report, reviewed on an
other page to-day, which has been sent to

wire yesterday afternoon from Washing
ton to the effect that among other steam
ers allocated for the Pensacola trade is

fabricated ships completed at the plant
OF the Pensacola Chipbuilding Company.
The "Cushnoc' is being given her fin
ishing touches at the local plant now and
is expected to be ready to go to sea
within week or two.
Senator Fletcher was markedly instru-
mental in securing the location of the
plant at Pensacola by the Emergency
Fleet corporation and the fact that he
has been able to secure the ALLEGATION
of the first ship turned out at this plant
for the local trade is appropriate and
gratifying.

the Emergency Fleet corporation that IL
will continue to send ships to Pensacola
as fast possible.
The ''Escambia." the last of the ships
launched at the local plant has not been
allocated as yet, but it is earnestly hoped
that this vessel too may be designed by
the board for the Pensacola trade. espe-
cialy in view of the fact that she is to
bear a strictly local name.

GETS SEAMAN IN
LOTS OF TROUBLE

At one o'clock this morning Police
officer Milford brought to headquar-
ters a man giving the name of Hans
Sorenson and with him heavy brown
canvas sack containing ten quarts OF
Cuban cognac champagne.
The seaman said he lives at los 1-2
asst Government street, and is cap
tain of the barge Ernest, which ar
rived yesterday in port. He asserted
that the liquor was intended for his
own consumption; but it was the
opinion of the officers that it was
more likely for sale at SIS a quart.
Sorenson was on his way up Pala-
fox street with the heavy burden
when he espied officer Milford, and
lodged into a side street, whereupon
the officer lodged around the other
way and met him in the middle of the
block, dripping with perspiration.
