On Sunday morning last, the horse attached 10
to the bake house market sleigh, which was load

A Waldo EcOnOmist.

Our Waldo friends will doubtless note with
some surprise that their Senator, White, cast one
of the six votes for removing the State Capitol to
Portland. That was probably one of the ''eco-

readily appreciated by Waldo citizens who may
have business to transact at the State Capitol.
And then, of course, such movement is so di-

Mr.. T. Appleton, the well kn.wn Civil Engineer

this city, making tangible and favorable offers for
the building Of the Railroad from this city to West
Waterville. We make the following extracts
from Mr.. Appleton letter;
'Eow will make you this proposition. | will
build the Messalonskee 4 kennebec Rail
road from Augusta TO West Waiervile, and com
pee it ready Tor the rolling stock, for Sl2, 900 per
mile. The MAXIMUM grade to be so feet per mile
and the minimum radius of curvature 573 feet: {:
the rails to weigh 40 lbs. per yard. The railroad
company to pay all land damages, and to erect the
stations and other buildings. l represent some
active, responsible contractors, anu will furnish
bonds for the fulfilment of the contract. To
build tie road for that sum of money would re-
quire the sirctest economy in construction and
the most careful location. The excavations and
embankments must be made narrow and reduced
in quality to the smallest amount, by numerous
curves and breaking up Of grades. There could
be no snowy masonry or expensive bridges. Still
you would have railroad that would be capable
Of doing all the business that wogld be required Of
it for many years to come. Now, then, If you can
raise S2j0,000 on the line of the NJ. x X. K. r.,
the line can be built You can lay this prop
ositon before your Directors, it in any way
