he worked at it-writing bits on scraps

From the first he had clear vision of

There it was in great gasp of horror all
over the paper. As Clarke, later on, read
the list of dead. the great number of Irish
names set him thinking. Irish names Of
men and places had long been one of his
favorite studies. Even then he was search
ing for a Gaelic name for his cottage at
Merriewold Park. and had just decided on
"Rossallan," meaning Beautiful Wood
Meanwhile, within twenty-four hours the
country had gone wild. There was a mad
clamor everywhere for war. Bismarck and
his Ems dispatch were nowhere. Clarke
tried to go on with his work but the horror
brooded and brooded over the certainty
that wherever there was clash of war
there were also Irish names. Irwin had
celebrated 1t In "The Potato Digger's
Song:

the ST. Croix River" said the
former reporter. as he was remarking the
wonderful change that had come over that
wilderness section since his first visit. 1T
was early autumn. The trees were begin
ming to decorate the landscape with their
colored garments and the house in which
| was staying was in the midst of all these
glorious colors, but, aside from the con-
tinuous roar OF the waters as the great
river forced itself over the high falls, no
other sound broke the stiffness.
Before darkness set in / walked to the
falls and sat, lonesome enough, watching
that ribbon like flood roll itself toward
the sea, and 1 contemplated the wonders
of nature. The great forests on both sides
of the river looked the same Nature rec
ognizes no boundary lines, yet 1 stood in
the forest on the bank of river that
divides the greatest republic on earth from
that remnant of the British Empire the
depth and breadth of whose wealth has
never yet been dreamed, even by it's own
native born children. These thoughts
filled me as darkness closed down and the
moon shone onshe scene
"As l returned to the house with SOL
emn feeling. began gazing about the
room in an endeavor to find some book
or paper to read. All found were few
school books that must have been used a
hundred years before.
II then turned my attention to an old
geography, which gave in it's front pages
a map of Maine and that potion of New
Brunswick which skirts the river, with
the old time Indian names of the lakes.
The thought occurred to me again. what q
wonderful key to power these falls are.
Why thought /, this falls could in one
day generate sufficient power to build a
city here With the thought in mind
began to write a story as if of fact, telling
Of the place being visited by two men from
New York, evidently representatives and
engineers from some powerful financial
concern. They let drop an inllling that
they were making surveys of the falls
and the surrounding country in prepara-
ton OF mysterious plans.

Ia dam at the falls and a series ofsdams
among the lakes, made branch railroad

great satisfaction and profit my story was

Spragues Falls was getting fair share of
advertising. Annual forest growth began
TO gain momentum.
Thine passes quickly Twelve years
later a man called my office selling
stock in a promotion project, develop
ment of the great water powers of the St
Croix River. His name was Jordan; he
came from outside of the State and had
read the story of the wonders of Spragues
Falls in his own country weekly. He was
impressed with the water power possi-
bilities. He had in his possession all the
facts that had been dug out of the old
geography in the Pickett chambers of the

the tail end of the figures as 1 had on
them to make them look well balanced in
the story!
When ! told him that it was deluson.
that his prospectus. contained only stuff
that l had used 'ini story twelve years
before. he said: All right, Mr. -. You
think as you like, act as you like but the
bare facts are plain enough to any sane
thinking person. The falls are there. the
lumber is there. and the annual growth is
certain.
''Time went on. To-day the thriving
town of Woodland is built with its great

a man OF wealth. He made his money in
the scheme that built the magic little city
at the falls and has served two terms in
the Maine Senate. Now the strangest
thing of all is that Jordan thinks that il
is possible to generate sufficient electricity
from these falls to heat and light the
country for radius of fifty miles, and
that with the aid of electricity so gen
Grated. sufficient nitrates may be taken
from the air TO fertilize all the farms in
Maine and New Brunswick To a high de-
gree. He purposes to make that power
