A ROMANTIC FIGHT
AGAINST NATURE
Wresting Part Of Kennebec Riverbed
For Powerhouse Site Dangerous
And Thrilling Undertaking; Con-
slant Battle v. ish Elements

N the little town of Showhegan, valiant
army Of 120 men is fighting grinnly for
II the welfare Of Maine, struggling lnces-
sanity against nature that the industries and
people Of the Pine Tree State may have their
light and power furnished by one Of natures
greatest forces-a river.
Tremendously picturesque to watch, is this
battle Of man against nature; matching his
wits against brute force; wrestling from the
very soil and rocks of Maine the light and
power necessary to her proper development.
For nature does not give UP her bounties will
ingly-they must be earned with honest toll
backed by brains and engineering skill
The latest crusade is the development Of the
Central Maine Power Company at Skowhegan,
which in the future will be Of tremendous i'm
port to the people and industries Of Maine By
harnessing the Kennebec River at SkowEegan,
the company viii more than double its water
developed horse power and reduce its operar-
ing expenses Of steam power plants by some
$4,000 year, IN addition to furnishing more
power to Maine industries ready to buy it and
the new industries to come.
At single stroke more than doubling its ca
pacity to generate electricity, Surely this Is q
cause worthy of an unyielding fight with the
rushing waters Of the river and the elements
Daily Kennebec journal., 1919-12-19

The visicn Of those pioneers

the rushing Of the waters
transformed into heat, light
and power, is coming true. The
first big steps are well under
way,
The Central Names Show

mately produce more than
10000 horsepower-one Of the
biggest power developments in
the State.
Preliminary work was start
ed a long time age. Engineers
long since finished their pre-
lininary Investigations and
made their reports. Ceolog-
lists tested out the soil, rocks
and other conditions surround
ing the site Of the proposed
new dams and powerhouse,
and they reported Everything
O. K" Extensive and sx-
haustiye measurements, sound
ings, etc. Of the country and
river for miles around were
made and recorded.
Miniature Floods
From these facts and figures,
the engineers constructed a
small model of Skowhegan, the
Daily Kennebec journal., 1919-12-19

The power that Lies in Maine
rivers is an asset too important
to be overlooked, especially In
view of power situations In
other sections Of the country.
The coal shortage has assumed
serious proportions and has
driven many industries to look
inx forward to the day when
they must either move their
plants to points where they can
get hydro-elecrric power
water pcwer-or go out OF
business.
Visions Coming True
Big business men long ago
saw into the future and they
have been preparing for It.
The Central Maine Power Com
pany has perhaps looked farth-
est of all. For Maine with all
her wonderful natural power
resources is bound to receive
her share of the new mdus-
tries-and what this means to
the State cannot be cverestl-
mated. The importance OF the
State Of Maine to the nation
from an industrial standpoint
viii be realized more and more
as her power facilities are de-
veloped.

channel 500 feet long and one

ton and equipped with special

food flows of the river to give
maximum protection to the
surrounding territory at food
times. They viii also have log
sluices 80 the thousands of logs
may come down the river with
out interference and without
damage to the dams.
There is something stirring
for the spectator watching this
little army OF men IN their bat
tie with nature. Imagine
these pygmies daring to say to
the river. I'VE want a piece Of
land you are flowing over and
you must move off," Imagine
pushing these rushing, angry
waters back and back from the

So when the word came
from up river that 4 food was
In the making, the engineers
stood back and watched re-
suits. They did not fear any
great material damage TO their
partially completed cofferdam.

ourwltted natures brute force
and the cofferdan holds,
The kennebec is a stream OF
moods; 10 man can tell what
the ecc-ntric stream may do at
any tine. Floods are not the
product Of any given season
they are the result Of combined
climatic and weather condi-
tions up river. II Is This un-
certainty that makes the fight
with the stream SO thrilling
and spectacular.
A short time ago, when the
cofferdan was IN the making,
the kennebec made a desperate
attempt TO wrest back the part
of rs bed the presumptous
pygmies had taken from It A
heavy rain on frozen ground

Now the very nature Of the
river bed at Skowhegan ren-
ders a food there none dam
gerous to the efforts of man
than at almost any other point,
for Just below the town the
high rock banks narrow very
percepthly. The engineers
found with their measure
ments that a rise OF one foot

two feet below II, where the
cpferdam is constructed. The
rushing water cannot crowd

When this model was COM
pleted 4 stream cf water was
put through it flowing at the

cording to the scale Of other

this model many experimental
foods were conducted. sorne Of
which in reality would nave
cost many thousands Of dollars
In property damage and loss Of
life.
By means Of this model and
its miniature foods. the engi-
neers were enabled to deter
nine many things Of grave I'M
portance. Careful study Of all
data available on river condi-
tons fCr many, many years
back. was also made, for there
are many c0Radera lions TO be
gwen the building Of a dam
other than construction prob
lens. Al this was done be-
fore actual work was even
started at Showhegan.
Had to Rush Actual Work
The needs Of the Central
Maine for immediate power
development were SO pressing
that it was decided 20 construct
the new powerhouse first and
make the old log dam IN the
south channel serve for the
moment to hold water for its
operation.
This necessi.ated building d
coffcrdam cut into the river
SO work could be started on the
excavation for the foundation
Of the powerhouse. The con-
structlon Of the powerhouse
necessitates excavating Is feet
deep into the solid rock ledge
of the river bed to provide
proper pits for the huge water
wheels.
Beautiful Power Station
The station viii contain five
generating units of the most
modern type and each one OF
them will generate more power
than all the power develop
ments now IN operation at
Skowhegan.
Present engineering plans
call for the complete instaIla-
tion of at least one of these
generating units by next sum-
mer and the other four viii be
added as Soon as is possible.

completed and at least Vne Of
the big units is turning out
