Union Pacific Railroad One Thousand
Miles Completed Years Earn
ings Over Five Million Dollars.

The last bulletin of progress upon the
Union Pacific Railroad gives some remark
able facts. The first is that one thousand
miles are finished and in operation west of
Omaha. reachin1 across and beyond the
Rocky Mountains and into the valley of
Great Salt Lake. Great "a Is this fact,
1t can only be duly appreciated when We
consider how short has been the time with
in which it has been accomplished =
Three years ago only forty miles were
built. two hundred and sixty five miles
were added in 1866. two hundred and
seventy FIVE in 1867. and about IRE hun
dred miles in 1866. Such rapidity of n
s,ruction has had no parallel in all the his
tory of railroad engineering. But even
these statistics. startling as they are IN
their magnitude, do not tell the whole sto
nv. Ii ID when We bea- constantly in
mind the fact that the starting point OF this
road had no railroad communication when
the work was begun that the road was
built out beyond settlements or improve
ments that it has carried its own resident
population. and make its own busincs. in
a country totally devoid of development
before the locomotive penetrated therein.

has been carried more than one thousand
miles before reaching the point Of its en-
p!oyment, that We get any clear idea OF
the vastness of the undertaking which has
been carried on 80 wonderfully across the
plains and mountains. such great results
could only be attained by the use of an
| army OF laborers such "a have been in the

Another fact. of still greater interest TO

Walking Backward.

We have not seen Mr.. Poor's Report 10
the Governor ON the population. wealth
and progress OF industry in the State. but
gather some of the facts embodied IN il,
from an article in the Portland Press.
Mr.. Poor takes as a basis for an estl-
mate OF tine population of Maine. the vote
for Governor last September. allowing 100
calculation, with some corrections. or adj
ditions. the population is put down at
6Ss. OIL, an increase OF 59.41l, or more
than 8 per cent since 1850. By his esti-
mate of counties, there is an aggregate de-
crelse of 10 ,397 in Hancock. Knox. Lin
coin. Sagadahock and Washington. and an
aggregate Increase of 81. .Ss in all the 9TH
er counties.
We ask the leading men" IN each of
the towns in this county to give Us for pub
LEGATION, the reasons rs they lie in their
minds, for the decay oftheir several towns.
There are reasons for this decrease in pop
these reasons, or should do so. and should
as resnlutely Get to work TO cure the troub-
le. There has not been the usual amount
OF ship-buiiding, and the lumber j. grow
ing scarce and with the decrease of these
sources of business. has come a mania for
moving West. or of going TO Boston for
business. The men who have By patient
industry and strict economy accumulated
property. heretofore. are now very chary
in entering into any kinds of new business,
or in assisting others to do SO. Therefore
We need in nearly all our towns some kind
of a cooperate movement. some kind Of
union OF effort to build up small manufac-
tories TO make business for all those
seeking employment. There is a vast
amount of idle time spent in all our small
villages, during winter months. All this
time should be utilized and put to some
remunerative purpose. As old kinds of
business become Improbable or worn out,
new kinds should be substituted. and new
channels tor profitable industry sought
out.
One difficulty in most of our towns Is |
found in a want of rapid and cheap means |
of communication with the large cities in |
and out of the State. Ii We had q railroad |
we should find that many of the towns in |
this county, towns that are now just hold |

| Deacon Wood read an extract from a

are expended yearly in Ellsworth for in,o1 :

ses lie thought these facts should be
brought before the people.
y. a. Joy stated that the object Of these
meetings is 10 collect the sentiment Of the
people Various means have hitherto been
used, but notwithstanding this the sale Of
alcoholic liquors still goes on. A member
of former hoard Of selectmen, sold hquor
not only for the purpose for which he was
licensed. but also to the rnmseller TO sell

pei could accomplish the whole thing.
There was something more to be done than
to come into these meetings and spend an
evening pleasantly. Should exert an infu-
ence on friends and neighbors. Was not
il favor Of a State Police. Did not see
any good result from it before. Individual
effort must do the most.
Mr. Cole thought the remarks of the
proceeding speaker first-rate fer one end of
the bow. but the boy needs both ends. (He
made some general remarks on the duty OF
parents &c. but as we cannot readily read
the report. it must have the go by.) With
regard to town agency he thought il the
Selectmen could fiRd man who void sell

venient to appoint him agent.
Mr. Emery wanted to caution the people
not to cease individual effort on the sup
position or hope that the constabulary would
be enacted. Thought the present move
ment had been encouraging. Mr.. Butler
OF Hancock made some remarks. was
asked if there were any open rum shops in

to our Waldo friends that il is easier to

novel fact themselves. 1t would not be n

es of loaning It's credit to aid the road

The true rule about railroads is. TO build
them just 40 fast and as far az they will

think it can. that road from Houlton to
visiting lines of road is decided pecun-
larry advantage above its cost. then it
