Central Maine Power
Company President
Addresses KiWanians

waiter Wyman OF the Central
Maine Power Co, was the very in
teresting speaker at the regular
meeting and dinner of the Kiwanis
of this city at the Elmwood last eve
ming. Mr.. Wyman's subject was
The ACCESSIBILITY of Sending Power
Out of the State" In a clear and
comprehensive manner he outlined
the various phases Of the question
which is vital to every one. Mention
ing the development a number of
years ago of the Cascade at Oakland,
he drew an Illuminating comparison
between certain peculiar conditions
existing then and those which con-
front the public at the present time.
Oakland did not hold it logical or
feasible in those days to market the
power of the Cascade outside of the
town limits, and although many
thought that there was more power
there than there really was, still
they were reluctant to let it loose to
outsiders. Later it was shown that
the idea of retaining the surplus
power, which not being Immediately
harnessed ran to waste, was neither
productive of business nor profit.
Maine, Mr.. Wyman pointed out,
had a real and potential horsepower
of between seven and eight hundred
thousand. Three hundred thousand
of this is SO located geographically,
that it can be developed at a sur
prisingly low cost. Cheaply develop
ed power, easily available, is the only
indictment that will attract large in
dustries to the State.
Citing the cases of shoe factories,
cotton mills and wooden mills he said
that their products were manufac-
tured at an approximate cost of two
or three per cent as compared to %,
80 and even so per cent in other in
dustries.
All this by way of illustration. He
then discussed the Bingham Forks
project, making it plain that a large
reservoir at that point, developing
thousands of horsepower, could sup
ply our own State and part of
Massachusetts at rates that would
be as low, if not lower, than Niagara.
or the Columbia river in Washington
State.
Mr.. Wyman put it rather clever1y
when he mentioned that Aroostooll
potatoes went out of the State very
easily and that it was not necessary
for any one desirious of eating these
potatoes to do the actual consuming
in Maine. This was true of all other
commodities, why then should it not
be so with power. Forests he said
could be thinned, soil impoverished
other raw materials play out. but va
ter would continue to run down hill
for ever.
Speaking of long time contracts,
he did not favor them in the least,
remarking that many interconnect-
ing companies were exchanging pow
err daily by mutual agreement.
Although not speaking as rep
resentative of The Central Maine
Power company, he assured his
hearers that they stood ready with
money and everything else at their
command to protect the best inter
ests of Maine, which after all must
be the best interest of all.

PrOwlers Enter
Waterville Store

The Kennebec Auto Supply Co.
was broken into early yesterday
morning. Prowlers. evidently bent
on pilfering expedition entering the
building through window which
they smashed in. Nothing as yet has
been found missing, although with
a large stock on hand it was rather
dlfhcult to determine. 1t is thought,
by certain earmarks of the job, to be
the work of boys or some clumsy
full-grown novice who lacked the ar
tistic touch. Finger prints were
found on the window sill, and the DO
lice are investigating the break.
