EX-GOVERNOR BAXTER
IN open LETTER
GIVES WAR RECORD

Ex-Governor Baxter has given out
the following: "A citizen of Maine
in an open letter published in sew
eral OF the Maine papers has asked
for my War Record
Since retiring to private life l
hoped to be spared the necessity OF
answering such communications, but
this has been given such wide pub
licity that / feel a statement is nee
esSary."
THE War started in April 1917
while | was member of the State
Legislature. At that time l was in
my forty second year. Immediately
upon the adjournment of the Legis-
lature, l took steps to enter the
military service. Just as l was
about to do SO one evening I took
up the paper and found that Gov
ernor Milliken had appointed me
Chairman of one of the Portland
Draft or Exemption" Boards. |
had not been consulted about this
| and felt that the work would be
very distasteful. l was willing to go
to War myself, but did not want to
send others"
Il talked with Governor Milliken
| by telephone and told him of my
plans to enter the Service and asked
; 10 be relieved of the Draft appoint
ment. The Governor, however, urg-
ed me to accept and 1 replied that
would let him know shortly. After
consulting with several of the best
informed public men, civilian and
military, in Maine and Washington
and asking them where l could
t render the greater service, they
| without exception, advised me to dc
| the Draft work and so l accepted
/ the position"
| The Board work continued from
| May 1917 to March 1919. and of all
| the civilian War work there was
| none mere eXacting. more necessary
or more unappreciated than that OF
| the Draft Boards"
AS Chairman OF the Board. ]
received total salary for the en-

! tributed by me to the various War
activities such as the Red Cross
Young Mems Christian Association,
knights Of Columbus, Jewish We'll
fare work, etc. In this way my SER
! vices were donated to the Cause"
| For my work as Chairman | re-
ceived the thanks of the United
States War Department and that of
I Governor Milliken. and as for my
decisions on the Board. leave it to
the citizens of Portland as to
whether or not l was fair and just"
When the men of my age We're

AS a terrestrial manipulation, man
is unexcelled. His latest demand
upon Dame Nature. who is already
doing much for him. is the unabash
ed proposal that she shall furnish
the steam for his electrical genera
tors.
Matching in force. if not in eX-
tent. the foaming waterfalls which
have made white coal a reality, q
subterranean steam boilerhouse ex-
lists in northwestern California. 10
miles from San Francisco. There,
during the past year. in picturesque
Sonoma County. natural steam, har-
messed by mans inceSsant ingenuity,
has been roaring up through two
hundred feet of eight Inch iron pip
ing and driving a 35-kilowatt tur-
bine generator. No engineer is need
ed to open the throttle of this giant
engine deep down in the flaming
earth. nor is any fireman required to
stoke that seemingly eternal furnace.
1t all sounds bit supernatural,
but in reality it is the result of per-
fectly natural laws. controlled, how
ever, by nature. instead of man. The
steam, according to accepted theo-
rieS. comes from an Underground
cavern of vast extent. having a layer
OF spongy rock for a floor, beneath
which is a tremendous mass of mott
en-, whitehot lava. Water from sur
face lakes seeps down continually
through numerous passages. perco
lateS through the porous rock and
is transformed by the intense heat
into steam. which rises into the cav
ernous chamber.
Steam keeps escaping from this
chamber to the outer air through
crevices and vents in the oarth's sur
face or roof of the cavern, and this
is thought to be the reason why
there is never an explosion inside
the great steam chamber. which
would blow out it's walls and roof.
The tests removed nearly all I'M
certainty. They revealed that here
is very real power asset. needing
only a certain amount of experiment

The engineers calculated that ii

dro- electric plant would cost from
two or three times as much.

N. B. Commission to
Discuss Water Power
With Maine SOlOns

1t is unoff1cially stated that the
Water Power Commission of the
Province Of New Brunswick Is to
visit Augusta next week for the pur-
pose Of discussing with the Legisla-
ture and the State officials the pro-
posed hydro-electric development at
Grand Falls on the st. John river.
Grand Falls are located entirely
within the bounds of New Bruins
wick. 16 miles below the town Of
Van Buren,. but under the provisions
Of the Ashburton treaty Of 1S49 with
Great Britain no development there
Is possible without the consent Of
the United States. AS the develop
ment Of any considerable amount at
the falls would result in the over
flowing Of a large area in Maine. it
Is further necessary to secure the
consent of this State for such an en-
terprise. There is natural head of
about 112 feet at Grand Falls. These
falls are said to be second only to
Niagara as potential HYDRO electric
powers In the east.

Opposition Expected - Fear
Waterville Contingent if
Legislation is Introduced
With View to Early Develop
ment of Highway

II was learned Wednesday that
Representatives Burleigh Martin and
Charles F. Kinsman were in confer
once Wednesday morning with Paul
d. Sargent, chief engineer for the
State Highway Commission. In refer
once to proposed legislation In con-
nection with the building of the Au-
rusta Belfast highway. A further
meeting before the Highway Com
mission has been scheduled for next
Wednesday. January 20.
It IL expected that II such legisla-
ton is introduced later in the ses-
siou it will meet with opposition from
the Waterville contingent. who are
determined. 1t is said, that the Bel
fast Highway shall terminate at
Waterville instead of Augusta.
The Augusta Belfast highway was
laid out some years ago as part OF
tho State highway system, but In
spite of many hearings on the matter
the last Of which was held on May z.
1924, in which 5000 petitioners urged
the immediate building of the road
the matter has rested. At this hear:
ing It was brought out that the de-
velopment had been promised for IL
years but that the promises had been
non fulfilled. At the time the high
way was laid out and approved 1t was
understood that 1t was to be built at
the same time that other roads. now
already built. were in the building.
Lyman H. Nelson. a member OF the
Highway Commission at that time
in pointing out some Of the reasons
why the road had not been built
said:
your last legislature has left the
Highway Commission with its hands
tied. Blame for this cannot be laid
at the doors Of the highway depart
ment-if the people Of Maine are
obliged to suffer for the lack Of prop
er extension to the highway system
then can point to the last legislature
as the real cause.
1.-THE Highway Commission cannot
build roads without money to do so
the State legislature by the action OF
some Of its members in holding up
the bond issue In an attempt to enact
other legislation has given the good
roads program in Maine a serious
setback. It Is the duty Of every voter
and every membe~ Of the next legis-
lature to correct this evil or future
development Of roads in Maine must
cease"
Mr.. Nelson at that time went on
record as faVoring the development
Of the Augusta Belfast highway.
Corridor gossip of citizens immedi-
ately interested in the Augusta Bel
fast highway urged opposition to the
nine million dollar bond issue pro-
posed by the Highway Department
unless the authorization Of the bond
issue carries a guarantee or proviso
that the Augusta Belfast highway
would be among the first to be de-
veloped in the early summer road
building program.
