Especial to The Kennebec JOurnaD
Arson. Me, Sept. 1.-THE Great
Northern Paper company feeling that
their mill in Madison, although
equipped with six large water wheels,
was inadequate to produce the same
amount of ground wood. that four
new grinders and more up-to- date
machinery would do. if sufficient
electrical power was obtainable, de-
cided in the fall of 1922 to remedy
the situation. if possible, and thus
bring the mill up to higher stand
ard of production.
An effort was put forth to widen
the canal between the Great North
ern Paper mill and the Madison
Wooden mill, but as there could be no
satisfactory arrangements made the
company decided to cross the Kenne
bee river and come into the town of
Arson and see what could be done
there.
On the south side of the bridge
were immense lodges, which formed
the western bank of the river. Many
corn and wienie roaSts had been en-
joyed here by the Boy and Girl
Scouts. and various picnic parties had
wendell their way among the rocks to
the shore.
This site only, seemed available and
suitable for the needs of the com
pany. Engineers were engaged, sur
veys made and plans We're drawn for
a new power house. which would
furnish the needed electricity. where
by better work could be accomplish
ed.
The contract was given to one of
tho large concerns, who had done
some of the best and largest jobs in
the world, namely. The Foundation
Company of New York and work was
begun in October 1922 under the
personal direction of T. i. Burke.

L,abor's Outlook Dark
 Until Peace Is Made
By PHILIP sNoWDEN, M. p.

The outlook for labor from the in ternational standpoint will remain dark until peace has been established in Europe. Unless a determined ef- fort is made quickly to settle the separations questions and the other disturbing results of the false peace treaties it may well be that in the coming year the economic ruin of Flu rope will be completed.
 There is only one way to establish and maintain peace, and that is by and through a league of nations-all in elusive.
 America can best serve herself and the causes for which she entered the European war, and best help Europe and the world, by helping to make the League of Nations such an effective instrument

Progress Challenge of
 1923, Capper's Opinion
By SENATOR ARTHUR CAPPER
 (RepubIican. of kansasl

WASHINGTON, Jan 2.-The chal- lenge of the New Year is progress.
 On New Years Day Americans as a nation and as individuals should look forward to a sweeping wave of progressivism, which seems certain of carrying our national and individual fortunes further along the roadway of success than any effort of the year just ending.
 For the first time there is fair prospect that the farmer is going to get consideration. The farmer has been fighting for several years, and now he is just showing the hard boiled Eastern crowd that the future of our country does depend on pros perity in the agricultural industry.
 Progressives have been given a greater voice in the halls of Congress, and the Government will be more representative of the peoples wishes during the coming year. It will also be more responsive to the people.
