of course, through to Rockland. Eastern
people ere beginning to discuss the matter
somcwhot, rs such an enterprise may af
feet them to some extent. Ii there was a
continuous line of railroad from Rockland
to Boston, the travelling public all through
this section. would take that route instead
of going 10 Bangor To take the cars there,
on to BuckSport to take the boat as now
| But to avail ourselves of the advantages OF
the contemplated route. we must have reg

the summer season by boat,
| There seems to be remarkable lack OF
energy, or want of interest. in our people
on the subject of communication with the
business centres of this state, and OF Bos-
ton. Bangor is all the while aSiiating the
subject OF railroads leading into that city ;
and other cities and villages Of about our
size are looking out for their future inter
est in this particular, while We do nothing.
The railroad to connect with the Provinces
should be one following the coast and
through the villages that viii helpitto bus
mess rather than through the forests of the
state back OF all settlements.
