LETTER FROM WALDOBORO.
WAIpopoRo'. March 81, 1871,

]
! To the Editor Of the Kennebee Journal
There was quite public spirited meeting
held in this place Friday evening OF last week.
The object of the meeting was to ascertain
the views of the live and monied. men OF this
town in regard to the permanent establish
ment of some kind of manufactures.
With the decline of slipbuildng it behooves
us here to turn up something rather than to
wait, Macawber like, for something to turn
up. 1t has long been a question with us
whether to settle down and become seedy or
wake up and let our name be as well known
in manufacturing way as it has heretofore
been knewn politically. The meeting was an
enthusiastic one; party feeling was thrown
aside, and all met with a mutual desire for
the future welfare of the town. Speeches
were made by several of our citizens, old and
young, those verging on seventy and those
yet to become pater- familas all seemed to
be of one bent, and that was "biz." Statistics
were read showing the comparative invest
ments, earnings, and expenditures of the diff
ferent kinds of manufacturing interests. A
committee of four was appointed to visit man
ufacturing towns in Massachusetts and else
where and gather all the information they
could in regard to the same, for be it known
we are rather green here as regards running
machine, but we do know how to build a
darned good vessel.
The opening of our railroad (the Knox ant
Lincoln has done away with bugbear tina
has long been in our way, the want Of trans
portation facilities the year round. This has
heretofore kept capitalists from establishing
anything here in the manufacturing line
Now we are open Cor nearly so, to the world
Our valley, the Medomak, is beautiful one
hill and dale and mountain, here are historic
associations, here people kind, benevolent
and unostentatious-a people, too, who are
full of life, vigor and enterprise, and it needs
but spark to fire up the ambition Of its peo-
pie and make it (the town. in the near future
become what it ought to be, from its natural
facilities, the beehive of this section of the
Main(e) State of our Union.
Without any improvement the stream here
is well adapted for sash and blind factories,
paper mills, &C. With an outlay of few
thousand dollars it could be made to run cottor
factories of the largest size the year round
But we are willing to begin on a small scale
we are rather inclined to favor small begin
nings and work our way up, perhaps, to the
foremost rank.
The people here are rather in favor o.
making it a shoe town, as that seems to re-
quirc the least capital to start with, with tht
largest number of hands employed and full a
profitable as other kinds of manufactures OF
larger scale.
Who knows but what we may become III,
