Is Authorized to
Supply Electricity =
at North BuckspOrt

A decision was rendered by the
Public Utilities Commission Thurs
day authorizing the Bangor Railway
and Electric Company to supply the
inhabitants of North Bucksport with
electricity for lighting, heating, man.
ufacturing or mechanical purposes.
The Central Maine Power Com
pany has authority to furnish SINH
lar service in the town of Bucksport
and is, in fact, now rendering such
service in other portions of that
town." says the decision of the Com
mission.
1.-The lines of the Central Maine
Power Company, however, do not ex-
tend to that portion of the town of
Bucksport known as North Bucks
port. and no electric lighting or pow
er service is at present being fur
nished to. the people of that COM
munity.
THE Central Maine Power Com
pany has notified the petitioner in
this case that it does not desire to
render service at North Bucksport.
and, although duly notified of the
hearing in this case, raises no objec-
ton to the granting of the present
petition.
80 far as appears, no other cor
poration, person or association. ex-
cept the Central Maine Power Com
pany and the Bangor Railway and
Electric Company, is authorized to
render such service.
"It appears that there is a demand
for this service and that public con-
venience and necessity require that a
second public utility be authorized
to furnish service in this locality"

STATE HOUSE

, ties Commission to render telephone
service in the southerly part of Hud-
son and the southerly part of Corinth,
according to decision made Thurs
day.
THE petitioner has received ap-
plication from residents in the
southerly part of the town Of Corinth
and from residents in the scutherly
part of the town of Hudson, request
ing that he extend his telephone lines
and render telephone service to the
people of those two communities,
says the decision of the commission.
NO telephone service is no being
rendered by any one in either of
these communities, an! there is evil
IDENTIFY q demand and necessity FOR
this service in both of them.
The 1-ortherly part of the town of
CorintH is supplied with telephone
service by the New England Tele-
phone Il Telegraph Company, and
the northerly part of the town of
Hudson is supplied by the Moosehead
Telephone & Telegraph Company
from it's exchange at Bradford. The
southerly portions of the towns of
Corinth and Hudson, in which this
extension of telephone service is
desired, are separated from the nor
ehSkAy POl tlOlo vi lucSc tOWIlS ny GER
tain natural geographic boundaries,
and the interests of the people resid-
ing in this territory L. in the direc-
ton Of Levant.
at is for this reason that the resi-
dents of these sections desire tele-
phone service from the petitioners
lines, rather than from the lines of
the companies which are already
! rendering service in the northerly
sections of these towns.
$50 far as appears, no corporation
firm or association other than the
New England Telephone & Telegraph
Company and the Moosehead Tele-
phone & Telegraph Company are au-
| thorized to render service in the ter
ritory to which this extension is re-
quested. Neither of these companies
offered any opposition to the grant
ing of this petition.
1.-THE territory to be served by the
proposed extension comprises a STRIP

NO GUN-YET
GETS HIS DEER
Especial to Kennebec JournaD

NOpSCIStI W ncnIISUSS JOui H1AJ
Coopers Mills, Me-. Nov. 22-Merle
Griffin says that it is no longer ne
cessary for him to carry gun
around to get game with and offers
the following as sufficient proof:
He had been working down to
Whitefeld Wednesday and was on
his return home in his trusty Ford
when what should loom up ahead Of
him as he came around a bend in
the road but large sized buck deer.
Friend deer was not inclined to give
in to the Ford regime. and so stood
his ground. But his courage was
better than his judgment for on the
first assault the deer went down for
the count, with broken back and a
broken fore leg. But he was far
from done for and fought gamely I'M
til finally subdued with a club that
was lying nearby.
Not being prepared for this ARRAY,
Merle did not have his knife with
him and SO pressed into use trusty
pair of shears found in the car, to
bleed the deer with.
The scene of the combat was not
far from the st. Dennis Catholic
church in North Whitefield and on
the direct road to CD iner. The
deer was a large eightspoint buck,
weighing $50 pounds and in fine con-
dition. The Ford suffered several
minor bruises but after a few re-
pairs to the steering rod and a new
wishbone it rambled home none the
worse for its game getting.

p. u. Decision in
PenObscOt County
Telephone Case

The Public Utilities Commission,
Thursday, rendered a decision au-
thorizing the Kingman-Prentiss
Telephone Company to render SER
vice in towns of Prentiss and Carroll,
in Penobscot county, in that part Of
the town of Kingman, formerly SER
we'd by the North Penobscot Tele-
phone Company and in part OF the
town of Springfield, Penobscot coun-
ty.
1.-The North Penobscot Telephone
Company was formerly rendering
service in the territory mentioned in
the petition in this case" says the
decision of the Public Utilities Com
mission.
Joshua r. Baldwin, who is the
president and treasurer of the petit
tioning company, acquired ownership
of all the property, rights and fran
| chises of the North Penobscot Tele-
phone Company trough foreclosure
proceeding and has since been rem
dering service as an individual in
that territory.
Mr.. Baldwin has in turn passed
the title to this property to the new
| corporation which is now asking for
| the consent of the commission and
for the authority to render telephone
service in the same territory hereto
fore occupied by the North Penob-
scot Telephone Company. This ter
ritory comprises the towns of Prem
tiss and Carroll, the village and a
considerable part of the town of
Kingman and two short lines in the
town of Springfield.
LAS modified by the terms of the
agreement, the territory in which the
petitioner asks for authority to rem
der service is not now being served
by any other telephone company,
and no objection is made by any one
to the granting of the present petit
ton in a modified form.
at appears that there is a demand
and necessity for telephone service
in this territory, and we believe that
public convenience and necessity re-
quire that a second public utility be
authorized to furnish telephone SER
vice therein"

Returns to "Paddy the Next Best.
Thing" English Production
After two years of ranch life in
Northern California, Mae Marsh, the
famous little star of THE Birth of a
Nation" and Intolerance" as we'll
as many other notable film dramas.
elected to return to the American
screen by way of London.
The well known British firm,
Graham Wilcox Production, Ltd,
were looking for some one to play
the titular role in Paddy the Next
Best Thing" which in England had
been one of the outstanding novel
and dramatic hits of years. Paddy"
as might be expected. lived in a
fictional sense in Ireland-the Coun-
ty O'Meath, to be exact.
In looking over the possibilities
among English screen actresses
Graham Wilcox soon decided that
no one measured quite up to the
Paddy" that Gertrude Page, au-
thor of that novel, had in mind and
had made immortal.
In this dilemma Graham Wilcox
turned to the United States and Wis
ualized the perfect Paddy" in the
whimsical person of Mae Marsh. In
England, IKE America, the screen
epics of D. w. Griffith never grow
old and Mae Marsh, since the days
of "The Birth of Nation" always
has been very close to the hearts of
the British screen public.
If the verdict of the extremely
critical British press is to be ac-
cepted as of real value Mae Marsh
in Paddy the Next Best Thing"
which is announced as the feature
attraction for today at the Colonial
theatre under an Allied Producers
and Distributors Corpora ton release,
has proven to be one of the happiest
screen combinations in many years.

by Gordon Craig in England, Max
Reinhar in Berlin and Robert Jones
in this country-representing the

decorators.
in starting this production" said
Allan DWan, who directed Mr.. Fair
banks in this feature, I'VE felt much
as we did when we went to the
Grand Canyon several years ago to
make scenes for The Modern Musk
eteer.' We didn't undertake to
photograph the canyon at once-its
magnitude appalled, us. So we play
ed around the corrals for the first
few days. .s ,
That's the way it was in starting
on this new spectacle. At first we
thought we would crash right into
one of the big scenes showing a
thousand knights in armor lined up
for tournament. But this under
taking was so big that it staggered
us. So instead we decided to photo
graph the scene in Richards tent,
which we figured would give us
courage enough to try one of the big
outdoor shots showing the re-
splendent knights with their plumed
helmets and flashing spears. ADV.
