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"

the 250 guests assembled in Modern

: evening, were highly elated at the
entertainment offered.
, It was given under direction of
Mrs. Nona Coovert, music teacher,
1 and many if not all -who par
ticipated were her pupils Mrs.
Coovert explained that the affair
1 was not to be considered a "fin
ished performance" as some of
those taking part had been under
her tuition but a short time but
the recital was more to please the
children.
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. To 1
go into details of each number T
; might do some an injustice: it was T
all very pleasing. The vocal duet f
of Anna and Kvclyn GeBott was
'doubly encored as was also the i
one by Gertrude Baldwin and
I Hazel Couch. Little Alice Bald
'win was the "star" of the whole
affair her gestures and innocent
air being absolutely original. Kuch
participant was pleasing.

AFTER JANUARY 1 THE PRICE OF
ELECTRIC LIGHT
I'.lectnc light has always been admittedh the l.st
artificial light known. 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.
