Nearly seventeen vonra mm when there was but n little handful oi people Here St. Johns now is. j. v.. scott conceived the idea of putting in u water 'supply for his personal use. He was not n fmt of work that hp iiml in i!m" water for his house and his st ana lie believed Hint hit lmr.,1 should save his heels. Accordingly he came tin H10 tiiti to the snot whereon the city hall and sank n lentl Then he laid nines to his Then some of his few lieiirlihnru considered the matter and wanted a like service and he began what is now a great necessity in this trivial way. The number of his natrons was less than a score for some1 lime. In those days cvervonc lived tinder the hill." W here U tiniv St. Johns proper was a forest of mighty trees, traversed 1 I ero mill there by winding tra'ls and crooked paths. In the wildist dreams of fancy no onetlien thotght what lay before St. Johns: the little hamlet thought, if it foresaw nt alt, that ipwn on the river-front would be a nice little village where some lum ber interests might be developed -but that was all. There was no way of communi cating with Portland except on foot, by boat, or following by team the rough road and cros.sinir on n rude ferry. The crude water sys tem would be ample for the village through all time, it was calculated. A few years later the demands ution Mr. Scott's system became too great for the old well, so he began other arrrnuements and kent nil- ding to the business. A couple years ago II. I.. Powers, of Hart man, Thompson & Powers, saw a chance for investment, and mir- chased a half interest in the nlant. Then commenced the work of over hauling the plant and putting it in .shape to. supply future needs. No one at that time. even, figured just what that meant in fact it is asserted mat 11 the present owner had considered the great outlay necessary he would not have b it it off. Hut the work lias gone bravely 011. New mains have taken the place of the primitive system: new pumps and dynamos have been in stalled as rapidly as the increased demand necessitated: a large res ervoir lias been constructed for re serve tire protection: and now two new and immense tanks have been purchased and will soon be in place. The outlay has been excessive the income mencre but Mr. Powers was planning for the future. And now Mr. Scott has severed his connection with the company as manager. As owner, part owner, manager, he has been here nearly n .score of years and feels that he is entitled to a rest. lie intends to do 110 business for a year, at least, unless it is to look after his realty here: he desires to rest. His successor, 1. II. hdlefsoii, is a man well recommended, and one versed in matters pertaining to water. He has lor the past two weeks lieen obtaining an insight into the system, its requirements, and the desires of the tieonle: and it is said by those who know him that he is amply capable of filling his position. In terminating his career with the water company Mr. Scott pays high tribute to those with whom he lias been connected. He says: "I am free to state that I have never been associated with anyone where relations have been so uni versally pleasant as with Mr. Powers and his colleagues. I here has never been the slightest friction: and matters of moment have al ways been quickly and satisfactorily adjusted. I consider they are gentlemen with whom anyone can net along pleasautly in every way: and I sever these relations with the best of good-feeling I" Some More Stuff W.

As it was a "flower recital" the stage was appropriately bedecked with flowers and the children, large and small, were emblemati cally decorated. The music was specially clever and the numbers, both vocal and instrumental, proved Mrs. Coovert n teacher of no mean ability.

But some have heretofore based objections to its use on the scoie of cost. The SWEEPING REDUCTION IN RATES just announced entitely nullifies this objection. After January t 1006. no store or residence in St. Johns need be without electric light on the score of cost. The reduction is from 20 cents to 15 cents a Kilowatt-hour, or 25 per cent of the base rate. In view of the increasing demand for installation of our service at reduced rates in stores and residences by Jan uary 1, patrons ate requested to make application at once.
