at the juncture of Russell and Water

the Provencal Cigar Co. has been

waited. A tile floor will be installed

Probable Manufacture OF Pulp Will
be Discontinued

The property and waterpower own
ed by the Riverside Pulp Company. d
concern made up of three equal own
ers, John r. Mcclellan, Bin W. Page
and Charles E. Young has been YER
bally sold TO the Central Maine Pow
er Company. But according to a
member of the firm in an interview
with the reporter Tuesday no writings
have as yet been made. The deal
may terminate simply in lease of
the property and power with an op-
tion however to purchase the same at
the end of certain period. II this
sale or lease is put into effect the
Central Maine Power Company will
then control all of the power along
the river in Skowhegan except that of
the Savage concern lately sold to the
Maine Pulp & Paper Company. The
Riverside concern is still making pulp
but this industry will probably be
done away with The horsepower is
reckoned at between 700 and 800. II
is probable that the manufacture of
pulp will be continued at the plant
of the kennebec Pulp Company this
side of the north channel bridge
which was formerly owned by the
Skowhogan Pulp Company. The
Central Maine Power officials were in
conference with the Riverside Com

DENIES DECREASE IN
WAGES
Cofferdams Being Built
by Central Maine
Crew Now Numbers Over Two Hun
dred. Transmission System Being
Placed Under Ground

The Central Maine Power Com
pany in their big power developments
have increased their crew to some
thing over 200 employees. the aver
age having been about 1876 The ru-
NOR current about town to the effect
that workmen were being cut down
in their wages $100 per day by the
company is emphatically denied. Rise
was given to this rumor doubtless
from a decision on the part of the
company to pay high school students
applying for positions only $3.50 a
day. At the present time the work
men are getting ready to build a cof-
ferdam across the south channel so
that it will be possible to continue the
construction across the stream. Work
has also been started on the Golfer
dam for the five unit and the log
sluice. The power transmission sys-
tenn is being laid underground to do
away with the outer wires. This
covers a distance of perhaps one
quarter of mile and will transmit
the power from the powerhouse to the
out door station where the switches
and transformers will be located.
From there the line will be distribut-
ed to points necessary The huge
castings for the turbine wheels which
have been hauled through the streets
from the station to the operations by
means Of tractor engines have been
attracting much attention.

cause Bloomfield came near being the
seat Of this we'll known educational

towns in tho state we're considered
and the committee finally decided
upon three towns as being suitable
for the future university. These
three towns were Farmington. Wat
erville and Bl.am 'eld now Skowhe-
gan. The trustees it is said recon-
wended Bloomfield as the most de-
sirable OF these three but for some
reason Watervillp was the favored
community To receive what has prov

and countv. The late Governor Alb
ner Coburn of Skowhegan was one
of its graduates and remembered the
institution with a substantial bequest.

TEXTILE BUSINESS
At LOW Ebb
Mills Probably Will Close
for Month of July
About Sixty Employees Now at Work
in Plants of American WOOlen Co.
Spinning Mill Has Orders Cancelled

While the textile situation locally
is not as encouraging as might be
hoped for there appears to be an
abundance of work for men with the
big deveopment onerations now und-
erway in SkoWhegan. The textile
market for Woolen goods at least is
in a dcmoralized condition due in a
large part no doubt to the railroad
and banking troubles. At pres
eat there is TO market for the teSt lie
Woolens, according to one of the local
officials OF the American WoOlen Com
pany. and wait and see" is just now
the Watchword. In the various plants
OF the American Wooden concern in
Skowhegan there are now being en-
ploycd only about sixty people and
the mills will shortly be closed for
the month OF July and probably until
about the middle Of August. 1t is
9ow believed that conditions will be-
ein to pick up at that time with the
manufacture of the customary light
weight goods. According to accurate
information it is thought that almost
all of the wooden mill operations have
secured some kind of work for the
present.
Conditions at the plant of the Maine
Spinning Company here bear the
stamp of the general low ebb Of the
market and at the present time the
factory is being operated only four
days week. A large number of the
employees, however have already left
to accept work at summer resorts or
elsewhere. Some orders which the
company had received have been can
celled and the indications are that
this mill will not be running on full
time for some months yet to come.
