TWIN STATE
BRING LINE
FROM C0RHAM
st. J. Plant Will Have
Additional Facilities
This Summer

Before the end of the coming
summer the st. Johnsbuly plant Of
the Twin State Gas G. Electric
Company will be connected with
the company's plant in Gorham, N.
H., and a $4,000 volt transmission
line is now being erected between
the two communities. The llne
will be about so miles long and a
right of way about 60 feet of wide
has been obtained. This follows as
far as possible the shortest line
between the two points and when
completed the wires will connect
with the st. Johnsbury plant at
their station on the Passumpsic
river opposite the railroad station.
The erection of this ngh power
line will make it possible to have
1000 additional kilowatts for
power and lights and except in an
emergency relieve the st. Johns
bury plant of using steam to gen
ate their electricity, 1t will also
tend to stabilize power which varies
according to the height of water as
the Gorham plant is on the An
droscoggin river which is the best
regulated river in New England.
The Gorham plant ha sd capacity
or $500 H. p, but it will soon be
rc-developed for an addition of l.
600 II. z.
The workmcn have begun at the
Gorham end to lay the poles to-
wards st. Johnsbury and in Il few
days the engineers and a force of
men will start out from this end
to meet the other shift. Already
several places and concerns have
applied for power and light from
the new line and Supt, Bill expects
to be able to supply some of them.
The st. Johnsbury plant has
been for sometime connected up
with the two power and light sta
tions at Lyndon and the arrange
ment has been mutually helpful.
This plant now takes care of St.
Johnsbury and its line run east
and west from Concord to DanviIle
and north and south from Lyndon
to Barnet.

OUTLOOK CLUB
ENTERTAINS THE
GENTLEMEN
Members Hold Debate on
Relative Qualities of
Husbands

Which is preferable a Scoldin~.
industrious husband or a lazy,
good-natured one? A clergyman, a
merchant, an automobile man and
a scale maker worked hard on the
problem and were unable to de-
eide in the face of overwhelming
arguments for and against pre-
sented by a quartet of wives.
Gentlemen's night of the Out
look club Friday evening at
Grand Army hall was a successful
event with supper, a program and
dancing. The supper tables were
adorned with Easter baskets fill
ed with downy chickens and the
menu was an appetizing one.
The program opened with n Sc
lection by an orchestra, Mrs. Pres
ton Connors followed with a pleas
ing solo and an equally pleasing
piano duet by the Misses Brickett
and Wilkie came next. Ora Jenils
delighted the audience with a
song, "The Old School House and
Mrs. Bessie Cummings, whose
readings arc always popular fca-
ture, gave two selections. Other
pleasing features of the program
were solos by Mrs. Collins Bro
dien, Mrs. Richard Levasseur and
Charles Bray.
The program closed with a de-
bate "Resolved that IL scolding in
dustrious husband is to be rre-
ferrcd to lazy, good natured
one" Mrs. Mabel Moffctt and Mrs.
Glenn Conlcy appeared for the af-
firmative side and the negative was
supported by Mrs. Nellie Knowlton
and Mrs. Mabel Hawley.
The Judges, Rev. A. S. Wood
worth, Timothy Underwood, l.. N.
Smythe and r. B. Wakefield, all
students of Addison, found that
"much could be said on both sides
and sympathizing with both classes
of husbands, they reported the
honors even for both sides and
every one was satisfied.

Gala Days

A gigantic trading carnival, a
boost to business, a boon to bus

Oh enulnS tne suspension OF
mining operations at the earliest
possible moment" "But," he
continued, "the resumption of coal
production entirely depends upon
the future attitude of the coal
operators"
Mr.. Lewis made this declaration
before the House Labor Com
, mittec which is holding hearings
on the boards resolution to direct
appointment by the president of
committee to investigate the coal
industry. He asserted that his or
ganization would welcome "any
impartial and judicial inves-
tigation of the general conditions
in the bituminous and anthracite
coal industries and especially the
facts relating to investment and
profits, operating practices, cons
servation of fuel resources, ap-
plication of uniform appliances
for guarding life and limb of the
workers, and industrial relations
and conditions"
GAS to the adjustment of con-
troversies between operators and
mine workers, we have been tra-
ditionally opposed to government
intervention" he declared.
He said that despite a provision
in the wage agreement for a joint
conference between miners and
operators prior to April /, 1922,
the operators "have refused point
blank to do as they agreed to do"
Outstanding facts in the nation
wide coal strike today were:
Suspension of work in the union
coal mines of the country was vir-
tually complete today, according
to reports from union sources and
claims were made that the miners
cause had been strengthened by
walkout in some non-union dis
tricts.
Miners claimed complete tie-up
in New River fields of West Vir-
ginia, non-union territory hereto
fore. Scranton anthracite mining
district reported suspension of 100
per cent effective with 10000 idle.
Non-union district of West Vir-
ginia was idle with 4500 non-union
men joining the walkout, miners
officials asserted.
Geological survey announced
bituminous supply of 11,500,000
tons in week ending March 25, con-
frming the surveys forecast Of
63,000,000 in consumers hands

TEXTILE STRIKE
Strike Leaders Called to
Conference With State
Board
(By Associated Press)

i
LAWRENCE, MASS, April 8
The Lawrence strike in which
smiles instead of blows and con-
servative instead of radical lead
ership obtained entered the second
week today Further gains were
made by the cotton and worsted
operators, who are protesting
against a 20 per cent wage cut.
The cotton mills are virtuany in
operative and the worsted inter
ests are similarly affected. The
woolen industry stands untouched
by the strike because it alone has
not imposed a wage cut.
Approximately one-half of the
$4,000 textile workers of. the city
are on a strike. Eight mills, includ-
ing the Patchoque-Plymou are
affected; three are shut down en-
tirely and two are manned only by
scant fOrces-oVerseerS and second
hands. Three mills are making an
attempt to operate in part with
greatly reduced ferces. The Pacific
mills have made the greatest gain,
but with considerable loss of oper-
atives over Sunday in the opinion
of the policemen who are watch
ing the strike.
Past the depopulated plants pa
troll pickets who jam the sidewalks,
overflow into the streets and have
poured over the bridges and
through the approaches to the
mills, but always in rood humor.
These scenes are in striking con-
/ traSt with the stern struggle of
1912 when dynamite and murder
played such part in the drama.
A decade has made the difference.
Policemen are present in numbers
but their admonition TO "move on
carries little severity and gains
ready acquieacence.
BOSTON, April 3-The State
Board of Cancellation and Arbitra-
ton today took steps to advance
its inquiry into the textile strike
situation. After a month of invest
igation the board has called to a
conference at the State House

Hon. Thomas r. Campbell,
Governor, State of Arizona.
Sir:
The undersigned citizens. living in
or adjacent TO the towns of St Johns,
Sprineerville, Eager. Concho and
Vernon, Apache county, Arizona, and
Holbrook, Navajo county. Arizona,
herewith request your earnest con-
sideration of the following proposed
plan to the end that the state of
Arizona and Apache county may nii-
tually add to the permanent popuIa-
ton and the welfare of the state.
It is proposed. working in cooper
alton with the Veterans Bureau. that
the $4,000 acres Of agricultural land
under water right from the st. Johns
U.yman) darn. located south OF the
town OF st. Johns, Apache county
by it's present owners particularly
set forth as tract upon which TO To-
cate such convalescent soldiers as
may. either from cnoice or by reason
OF their type of disability, choose
such location.
1t is our belief that the land pro-
posed will pass successfully any re-
quired tests as to fertility and it is
our further belief that the tract can
be developed in individually owned
units with every. reasonable profit TO
| the owner.
In event that investigation Of this
/ proposal shall result in favorable
Recommendation from those con-
! eerned. then we pledge our hearty CO.
I operation in every way tending to
make and keep our district up to
! high standard morally. educationally
commercially and socially. We fur
ther pledge ourselves to assist the
| newcomers in every way within oui
ability, with the firm belief that tht
i proposed plan will prove successful
4 not only from the benefits which vii
accrue to the convalescent soldiers
but equally from the benefits whicf
we locally. and the state as a whole
will derive from it
Requesting a favorable respons'
from you to this petition that you d'
investigate and give full considera
ton to the proposed plan, we beg L

GUAYMAS. Sonora, Mex. Feb %
Crossing the line into Mexico has
its immediate compensations. The
first came when we entered the din
ing car on leaving Nogales. Strictly
speaking, it was but half a 4.ning
car, for the forward end had been
partitioned off with mosquito netting
and was used by first -class passen-
gers. The mosquito netting was in
difference to the habit of the MeM-
can climate of warming up in the
summer time.
"The best way to travel here dur
ing the warm season" said the con-
ductor, lis to hire a drawing room
and sit in your underwear with the
windows wide Open"
The first compensation was veni-
son steak. Down here game is every
where. Across the Gulf OF California
and on the peninsula of that name is
undoubtedly the best hunting ground
for mountain sheep in the world. 1t
is hard to get to, the natives never
hunt them. and only an occasional
party crosses over from the main
land. Heads showing horns which
make a complete circle and half
are not at all uncommon.
See Deer From Car Windows
Deer are often seen from the train
windows here and hardly a man
comes into a Sonoran town from the
| hills without a tale of seeing game
crossing the road. There is rumor
that there is a Mexican game law
but it is totally unsubstantiated
Those who want deer simply pick ur

Just as simple as that.
