RESERVOIR AT
BRASSAU LAKE

The Maine Water Power Commits
sion has made an exhaustive study in
connection with the construction of
storage reservoirs in this State, and
in a recent report advocated the con-
struction by the State Of a storage
reservoir on the head waters of the
Kennebec river at Brassau Lake in
the Moosehead Lake region.
In the legislative session of 1919 a
project was presented for the con-
struction of a storage reservoir at
Hiram, in Oxford county which
would have enlarged the existing
lakes in that section of the State. The
water power commission was not in
existence when this project was con-

His human heart shed friendliness,
His ready smile brought light.

Tn. Barbarian Princess Goes Home.

The Barbarian Princess Goes Home.
Miss Elizabeth Littleford beheld an
interesting sight when she alighted
from northbOund afternoon train at
the Halfway switch. Just below the
long siding a shorter siding had been
put ln-the railway company had been
fastened, no doubt, by the great in
nuence of old Newton Wheatley-and
from 10 had been unloaded small
geared locomotive dozen or so OF
little coal cars opening at the bottom,
and miles of light steel rails with kegs
Of spikes for them.
out toward her home a crew of men
worked like bees at the building OF
trestle Of round timbers that had been
cut from the nearby woods; she at
once recognized these men as More
lands and Littlefords, and she knew
Il meant peace They didn't recognize
her. because of the distance and the
clothing she wore, and because they
were too busy TO pay any particular
|httention to her.
Farther out toward Doe river an
Ing the way for the little narrow
gauge. She heard the sounds Of the
ak and the saw, the hammer and the
steel. and once there came 10 her ears
the great dull roar of exploding dyna-
mite as a cliff was blown clear OF It's
foundations.
Miss Elizabeth Littleford smiled
happily. And she had not been happy
for n long time. Patricia McLaurin,
with whom she ha dbeen staying, had
been kindness itself, but the mother
of Bill Dale. her Bill Dale, had
snubbed her-and besides the longing
for the old home hills was riotous In
her blood. So she had come back, run
AWAY Mt less than a moments notice
as had Bill Dale before her, ana now
good II seemed to be at home she
would have gone to see the men, had
IT not been that she feared she would
be bother.
There was another interesting sight
when she had reached the crest or
David Moreland's mountain. In the
upper end of the broad valley, MD
way between the settlement" ana the
opening of the Moreland coal vein, two
large buildings were well along In
their course of construction.
She put down her bundle OF cloth
ing. shaded her eyes with her hand'
and tried to find Bill Dale among the
builders. But the distance was TOO
great; man down there was out
mere speck. I. . Before she went on
she removed her shoes and stockings.
II was hard for Babe Littleford to De
come accustomed to wearing useless
shoes and stockings In warm weather
When she had reached the foot Oh
the mountain, she didn't take the by
path her people had been wont to use
ia order that they might avoid con
tact with the Morelands. There was
no need of avoiding contact with the
Nlorelands now, thank goodnessl
