than 80 cars in excess of the largest

was faced with all kinds Of diff
culties in getting it, but the hydro
electric plant solved them. The
railroad was built as an electric
freight railroad and as such it has
remained ever since. 1t has been
successful from the start. it was
built in 1910 and branches have
been run from Washington to Car
ibou and from Caribou to New
Sweden. Connection is also made
with the Canadian Pacific.
But this hydro-electric plant that
Mr.. Gould started has grown and
grown and grown. New work was
taken on, additions made and en-
largements perfected. Now it has
over 200 miles of transmission line
and electricity is wholesaled to ev-
cry community in Aroostook county.
The whole plant with additions
originally cost 100000. Mr.. Gould
and his associates last fall sold it
for 100000.
Having decided to make Pressure
Isle his home, Mr.. Gould built a
house in a place that everyone
sneered at. 1T was really in the
heart OF the woods on the outskirts
of the town. But Mr.. Gould decided
to open this as residential section.
SO good a job did he do, that 1t
now bears the name of Gouldsboro
and has some of the finest residences
in all of Presque Isle. More than
that, Mr.. Gould built two miles of
streets which he presented to
Pressure Isle.
Another development proposition
was the construction of the St. John
m
CenterVille, a road that has been
much needed and is now being sue
cessfully operated.
. But Mr.. Gould is not done with
his plans. After many years of
delay, the greatest railroad project
that Maine has known since the
start of the Bangor q Aroostook is
about 10 be consummated. This will
be the Quebec extension of the
Aroostook valley line that will pierce
the untapped forest of northwestern
Maine for a distance of III miles
| to connect with the Quebec Central
at English Lake.
This new electric line, which Is
to cost about $4,000, 900, will be like
| the other Gould roads, of standard
gauge and its traffic at first will be
almost entirely freight. 1t is esti-
mated that a million acres of forest
will be opened up to development
! by this road.
AS for Mr.. Goulds personal life
! it may be said that he is a Unitarian
Knight Templar Mason and a
| Shriner.
Mr.. Gould has been a bountiful
benefactor for Pressure Isle and has
| beeO omen han dad in SlIpnortinEr a
enterprises. He has shown his in
| terest in the welfare of the state
| too, for when he was a member OF
the Maine Senate in 1923 he built
and presented TO the State Schoo,

nificent cottage that now bears his

Fishing in Great Lakes
Possibility of Future

Madison, Wis. Sept. 2S-(P)-Sal-
mon fishing in the Great Lakes is q
possibility Of the future.
The state conservation commission
is experimenting with the propaga-
ton of salmon to determine whether
the fish can be made to inhabit Lake
Superior in sufficient numbers to
make canning an industry in this
section.
Only a few salmon have been
drawn from the lake in the nets Of
fishermen. but they are sufficient to
give j. o. Webster state superin-
tendent of fisheries, hope that
eventually salmon will be plentiful
in the inland waters.
Two hundred thousand salmon of
lingering" size have been planted in
Lake Superior annually for five
years. Only few of the fish were
expected to reappear in the lakes due
to the comparatively small number
planted

these lines
II Is well to have these activities.
But 1t Is to be borne In mind
always that too much economy is
not thrift any more than is too
much spending.
False economy. carried to the
point Of hurting business. means
eventual waste. Loss of trade by
the retail merchant means loss also
for the jobber who in turn passes
1t on to the manufacturer. The
result is unemployment, form Of
waste undesirable for all.
Thus underspending can II car
ried to excess, produce unwhole-
some economic conditions that are
as distressing as corresponding.
Too much spending means at
once a waste all along the line. II
leads to over-expansion and specu-
lative activities which continue in
their natural cycle until they end
in business depression
True thrift consists OF three
things-prudent saving, judicious
spending, and wise investing.
1t is not possible to lay down uni
versal rules to be followed In these
matters. But it should be remem-
bered at all times that thrift means
progress. Fraud losses have reached
a, figure in excess of one billion
dollars a year because thousands OF
persons. having learned to save,
have not learned how to spend and
invest with prudence.
