Lieutenant Colonel Albert Green
law, member Of the Public Utilities
Commission. is also chairman Of the
National Executive committee for
Maine of the American Legion. of
which Captain Arthur L. Robinson
Of the attorney generals Office is the
other member. 1t is necessary only
to mention the American Legion to
Col. Greenlaw to get him goin'," for
he certainly is enthusiastic over this
CARNATIONS of this country, for
which he sees a wonderful future.
He was asked as to what progress
the Legion has so far made in Maine
and replied in substance as follows:
THE eAmerican Legion is getting
a great start in Maine. Applications
for charters have come in more
rapidly than the most enthusiastic Of
the promoters or active workers
imagined they would and scores of
others are preparing for application.
We have already received applica-
tons from the following places.
where temporary organizations have
been effected: Augusta, Bangor,
Rockland. Eastport, Livermore Falls.
Dexter. Princeton, Cutler, Machias,
Portland, Gardiner and Waterville.
while II or Is or even more are al
most ready to send in their papers.
"A State convention will be held
when enough posts are temporarily
organized to ensure representation of
the entire territory of the State. We
hope that every town or city with so
World War veterans will organize a
post. 1t is permissible under the
constitution of the Legion for a
place with Is soldiers to organize,
but do not think in most cases that
would be advisable on account of the
many chances of members changing
their residence. death and other
causes. / would suggest that in the
smaller places two or three towns
form a class, similar to the Legisla-
tive classes. or the School Unions,
and form a post jointly, thus secur-
ing all the benefits and having less
chances of the post not being active
and a success.
About $4,000 men are eligible to
membership in Maine-which en-
slres some organization, as I can

Fish and Game

Willis E. Parsons, commissioner of
inland fisheries and game. announces
that the fishways to be constructed in
the dams along the Piscataquis river
will be completed by Aug. Is. 1890 ac-
cording to agreements between the COM
missioner and the dam owners. 1t was
the intention to have them completed
this season. but the dam owners asked
for an extension of time and. after con.
sultation with the federal authorities
from whom the supply of salmon for
request was granted.
These fishways. with the exception
Of those through natural ledge, will
be built cf concrete and will form the
finest lot of fishways In the State. It
is estimated that the cost will in the
aggregate reach from $4,000 to }12.o
The federal authorities are more than
pleased to cooperate with the Maine
inland fisheries officials in restocking
the waters Of Maine with salmon. which
formerly were very common in our riv-
ers and used several Of our inland wa
tiers for spawning places. Various con.
ditions have caused their greatly less
ened numbers here. although not ex-
tinct. The federal authorities have al
ready this season placed about 100000
sea salmon in the Piscataquis river va.
tiers.
The hshways to be constructed will
give these and other salmon a chance 10

ing to their habits. and a. salmon are
added from time to time. with their nat
ural increase under the improved con.
ditions, It should be but a. few years
before splendid salmon fishing may be
had on the Piscataquis. The same may

Auburn Lighting centraet Approved
A decision has been rendered by
the Public Utilities Commission ap-
proving the contract between the An
droscoggin Electric Company and the
city Of Auburn providing for street
lighting in Auburn for a term of five
years and calling the attention Of
the company to the fact that service
under the contract cannot be rem
dered until July Is. 1919, unless the
company makes application under
the statute to have the new schedule
become effective on less than statu-
tory notice.
The commission says in part:
The term five years is not un-
reasonable, the rate at which the
service is to be rendered is, as we
have advised, entirely reasonable.
and the contract is therefore con-
ditionally approved. We say con-
ditionally for the reason that the
schedule of the company now on file
under which it offers to furnish serv-
ice to municipalities for street light
ing purposes under a five-year con-
tract is different from that named n
the contract. Accompanying the
contract is a revision of it's present
schedule, but the sheet filed with US
is dated Dec. /. 1918, to be effective
Jan. /. 1919. The copy of the con-
tract and this sheet did not reach
this Office until June Is. and the con-
tract itself is dated June IL, 1919.
This new schedule is reduction
from the former schedule and upon
application of the company permis
sion would be given to file and put
into effect the same on less than
statutory notice. But as the matter
now stands the new schedule would
not become effective until July 18,
and service under the contract could
not be rendered in accordance with
the new schedule and in accordance
with the terms Of the contract until
on or after July Is.
I'VE therefore at this time merely
approve the contract and call the at
tention of the company to the fact
that service hereunder cannot be
rendered until July IS. 1919. unless
the company makes application un-
der the statute to have the new
schedule become effective on less
than statutory notice"

BREAKS ALL AGAINST
PENN VARSITY CREWS
Illness of Doren,us Wrecks Red and Blue JUNIORS On,
Triumphant Quaker Eight at Annapolis-Leaue
Tomorrow for Yale Races
BY EDWIN J. POLLOCK

TT IT'S not the wind that's in en-
l. it's the rain, and il it's not the
breakers, it's the breaks. Penn's crews
usually are all wet and right now
they're soaking in bad luck.
The S. o.. L. streak started in the last
race last year after the Quakers had
gone to the final event with great sue
cess. In the closing regatta Stroke Carl
Thomas was taken sick in tho-middlc of
the race down at Annapolis. and the
same thing happened in the brush
against the Middies on the Severn last
Saturday. Now there is new wrinkle
on Coach Wright's brow.
Hen Doremus. No. 6 in the junior
varsity, the only crew that triumphed
over an Annapolis eight on Saturday.
has been stricken with some sort of an
alment and will not be able to row
aaginst Yale at New Haven this coming
Saturday.
Won Storch Substituted
Genial Joe Wright got word yestcr-
day that Doremus had left for Ills home
in Red Bank. y. j.. and would not be
on hand when the Red and Blue oars
men left for the Housatonic course to-
morrow. Won Storch has been selected
TO make up the crew.
But that's not the only handicap the
Quakers must face. The Penn coach
was not satisfied with the new shell used
In the Annapolis event. and the sprint
against Yale will be in the shell used in
thp victories last wear
The oarsmen were in the old shell for
the first time this year. These draws
backs and the fact that there will be
only two drills in the old shell before
the men leave for New Haven are the
only things that worry Wright. That
seems scarcely enough.
Ship Boats Today
The first spin on the Schuylkill since
the Annapolis race was taken yesterday
afternoon, and the final drill before the
departure for New Haven will be held
this noon.
The boats will be packed and shipped
to the scene of the races tonight. Coach
Wright hopes to be able to get trial

time tomorrow evening.
