LINCOLNVILLE 1OYMAKEK HAS
A UNIQUE BUSINESS

A Maine man has developed a unique
and most interesting little business with
in the past few years and tourists pass
ing through the quaint little village of
Lincolnville Beach, once thriving fish
ing center, pause to look at the attrac-
tive toys and novelties displayed in front
of an old stone house, itself an attraction.
And once they pause, they invariably
stop their cars long enough to enter the
shop and examine the many bits of in
genious hand work.
This old house is the ancestral home of
the Carvers, who were among the early
settlers of the place, incorporated in
1902, and here Guy Carver has set up his
workshop, carving. saving, whiting,
painting and vanishing, doing every
thing by hand and designing most of his
toys as well. Mr.. Carver was married
about year ago to talanted young ar
tist, Miss Woodcock of Camden, rela
tive of Hart L. Woodcock of Belfast, one
of the best known water color artists of
the day, and she designs and decorates
many of the toys and porch novelties for
which the shop is famous s-Kennebec

SPECIAL DAYS IN SCHOOL.

A Maine teacher was heard to remark
this spring that her hands fairly trembled
when she took up a newspaper from the
expectation of seeing some kind of a new

becoming a difficult feat to find any time
to teach "the three RS" One man, state
superinten lent of public instruction in
Vermont, Clarence II. Dempsey, doesn't
believe poor thing is a good thing or that
even a good thing may not "be run into
the ground"
Mr.. Dempsey raises no objections to the
special exercises to promote the genuine
activities which form legitimate part of
the curriculum. The record kept by him
discloses the following facts:
There were calls for the observance of
10 special weeks, such as fire. e-prevention
week and clean up week, and for the ceIe-
bration of Is days of the nature of thrift
day and kindness. to- animals day. Eleven
clubs, including the Red Cross and Audu-
bon Societies, asked for consideration of
their campaigns; contributions were
sought for six other good causes, and par.
ticpation was urged in five national essay
contests. Mean while there were in
practically every CONN unity local inter-
ests which wished to set before the pupils
the merits of their individual activities"

the special week in school is being over

CONSTRUCTING BIG WATER STOR.
AGE ON UNION RIVER.

Construction is now underway on the
Union river, few miles above Ellsworth,
on a dam, which will create a lake Is
miles in length and having a capacity of
seven billion cubic feet OF water, water
storage for power Tor the Bangor Railway
& Electric Co. The new storage will be
the second largest in the State, second
only to the Great Northern Paper Co. 8
storage basin at Ripogenus. The Ellis
worth basin, to be known as the Brim-
mer's bridge stoI age, will necessitate do
ing away with the present Brimmer's
bridge road, which will be supplanted by
a highway along the top of the dam.
Completion is expected during the COM
ing fall.
The new lake will not only develop an
immense water power but will also elimi-
nate a vast swamp land, useless for any
other project. The lake will cover 100
acres of land of which 600 acres are now
river beds and swamp lands. On this &C
count the cost of the enterprise is un-
usually low, the estimate of land pur-
chase and construction being we'll inside
half a million. The making of this big
storage basin is also unique in that but
one dwelling house will be affected,
whereas it is more usually the case that
entire villages have to be eliminated.
The dam will be 100 feet in length and
will make a lake Is miles long and from
a half to three miles wide. 1t is being
built with a concrete core, banked deeply
on the sides with gravel. 1t is being con-
structed so that the water may be used
when wanted and controlled in all ways
as to flowagc so that from 1900 to 900
cubic feet per second will be provided
even in the dryest seasons of the year.
1t will develop water power of 700 cubic
feet per second in the Union river, a
flowage of 700 cubic feet per second for
every one of the "a hours of the day.
The power developed will be co-ordi-
mated with the existing facilities of the

LOOKING OUT FOR MAINE.

Governor Baxter has made an appeal to
the Federal Fuel Administrator, Hon.
Henry B. Spencer, asking that Maine be
given the same preferences that has been
given certain of the Northwestern states.
Conditions of climate and transfer are
much the same in Maine as in the North
west. Governor Baxter's letter is as fol-
lows:
"Hon. Henry B. Spencer,
Federal Fuel Administrator,
Washington, D. G.
My dear Mr.. Spencer:
Climatic cond tions in Maine make our
fuel problem unique one. A large per-
centage of coal coming to our State is
shipped by water to points on the Ken
nebec, Penobscot and ST. Croix rivers.
These rivers are closed by ice on, or about,
November 18th and if coal is to come
through the normal channels the winters
supply of the communities served from
river points must all be delivered prior to
the date in question.
understand that certain priorities have
been given to states in the Northwest
where weather conditions ale similar to
those in Maine and where shipments are
made by the Great Lakes that freeze over
early in the winter. 1t would seem to me
to be proper to give Maine the same prio-
rites that have been given the Norther-
western states. Our people cannot live
and our industries cannot operate with
out proper fuel supply. II we should be
obliged to depend upon rail coal its cost
would be almost prohibitive.
We have on hand in the rivers in ques-
ton approximately 5,542 tons Of anthra-
ciate and bituminous coal. Our estimated
requirements are .258, 200.
l make this plea for special considera-
tion for the State of Maine.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) PERClVAL P. BAXTER,
Governor of Maine.
