The leasing the Belfast 4 MoOsehead
Lake Railroad by the Portland 4 Ken
nebec Railroad Co., Is one of the most
important acts in the railroad history
Of the State. both so far as II relates 10
the future policy of the State and the in
fiuence it will have upon the companies
operating under existing charters.
The first design of the Belfast compa-
ny was to connect their road with the
Maine Central at Newport and thus by
the Dexter road reach into the country
toward Moosehead Lake. But the Ban
gor and Pi.cataquis road, now nearly
completed, following along the valley of
the fiscataqu's river will drain the same
country into which the Belfast road
would have penetrated, II built. Hence
the propriety OF the change from the
original design.
BY this change OF the original plan so
as to connect with the Portland and
Kennebec at Winslow or kendAlfs
Mills. the Belfast people put themselves
upon q line the extension of which. un-
der the charter of that company will
give them all, and more than they could
ever obtain from their proposed road To
the Lake.
The upper kennebec can furnish large
amounts of timber suitable for ship
building-birch, maple, hackmetack and
other lumber that Belfast enterprise nc
quires. The port Of Bangor-One Of
the best in the State-is enabled to COM
pete with other places for the heavy
freights Of one the most productive re-
gions Of the State Of Maine. Already
Belfast has established reputation for
o0er;uv the rl,panSSf frei1hts and ls.inp
one Of the hest markets for hay. pota-
toes, &c. Now when the facilities tor
obtaining large amounts Of produce are
line through . productive country and
tapping . line that is fed by the best
freight producing county in the State,
there can be no cause why the Belfast
people should not congratulate them
selves upon their good fortune.
Nor IL the advantage entirely In favor
Of the Belfast people. BY opening an
other avenue Of cheap sea freights by
extending back further into the interior
than il would have bcen possible TO have
