Animal Life on Everest

Animal life, it appears, is to be
found on high mountains far beyond
plant growth. The highest growing
plant that the Mount Everest expe-
ditiOn of 1924 observed was the blue
vetch, at $4,000 feet. but animals live
at as great height as $1,000 feet.
"A minute and incOnspicuOus black
spider" says a member Of the expedi-
ton hops about on rocky cliffs and
hides beneath stones in those bare
places that happen to be swept clear
of snow by the wind. cannot think
on what it lives at such a height. In
these attitudes there is no other liv-
ing thing but rock and ice. "
This little spider is worthy of note
as being the highest permanent In
habitant of the earth.

sible way. One of the largest costs
American manufacturers have to
consider is transportation. The rae
tory which is producing goods In a
Fart of the country remote from the
seacoast, so that it has to pay heavy
transportation charges before they
can place these goods on ships to
carry them abroad, is placed under
heavy handicap.
Maine has many fine harbors from
which transatlantic shipments can
be made. 1t has unlimited hydro
electric power when all that is ayal.
able has been properly developed. III
can supply an abundance of hlgh
grade labor. 1t affords manufac-
turers opportunities to secure their
raw material by water which is the
cheapest kind of transportation that
is known. These are some OF the
things which Samuel insult OF Chl-
cago. who has given this subject his
earnest consideration, has recognized,
and accounts for the interest he ana
his associates have taken in entering
the Maine field.
The Middle West Utilities Com
pany had hardly completed the
agreement by which it is to take over
the properties of the Central Name
Power Company before it started TO
carry out its plans for the industrlai
expansion of Maine. Its first steep
will be the development of the water
power at Clark's Rips on the Andro-
scoggin River, a few miles ABOVE
Lewiston. An expenditure of more
than s3,O00,000 will be made there as
soon as the work can be started.
Anyone can see what this Will mean
to the Androscoggin Valley. win
unlimited power available there. IN
dustrial expansion will soon follow.
The State will now have the assist
ance of the country's largest ana
most aggressive power company IN
securing new industries. Every new
factory or mill that can be erected
in Maine will add to the NUMBER Oh
those who wilf absorb the hydro
electric power which it Is planned 10
develop. The nearer the power user
is to the source of supply the less
will be the waste of power ana the
greater the profits for the producer:
So it can readily be seen that 1t VIII
be for the interest of the new owners
of the Central Maine Power com,
pany to exercise it's influence and
|
MANY new industries for this state as
possible.
Heretofore Maine has been invaded
nv plenty of capitalists who have ac-
CURED property here for stock job
bling operations. But the Middle west
Utilities Company has not achieved
it's prestige and success by such
means. 1t is now operating In 10
states and with the greatest success,
building for the future for the bene-
fit of it's owners.
Coming at the time when Maine
people are thoroughly aroused ana
have undertaken to help themselves
the invasion of this strong, agrees
sive and successful group of capl--
talists cannot be looked upon In any
other than as most promising indl-
cation of what the future holds for
the people of this state.
