OF that success proves conclusivey that investment

RAILWAY NOTES.


The rails on the Shore Line are laid dis
lance of sixteen miles and the roadbed il
graded the remainder OF the way as far as
Ellsworth Falls. The piece OF roadbed which
sunk in the bog recently was only about IS ieet
in length. 1t sank 16 feet below its former
level. The railroad party returned late Thurs
day afternoon from tour of inspection of the
line. They went by train as far as the rails
were laid and then some Of the party walked
on over the graded roadbed to Ellsworth Falls
while the remainder returned to the carriage
road and drove to Ellsworth by private con-
veyance. AT that city the party dined and
later returned to Bangor. portion of the
party departed on the evening train West,
but President jackson and Civil Engineer
Allen remained over and were in Bangor yes
terday. Very. satisfactory progress is being
made on the line.
The Electric Railway.
The electric railway which Bangor parties
propose building from Bar Harbor to Eagle
Lake has met with some opposition from citi=
zens OF Bar Harbor. The Ellsworth American.
referring to the subject, speaks in the follow
ing language: "As the road would add very
materially to the convenience of tourists and
bring one OF the most attractive features of
the place within easy access it seems difficult
to understand on what ground the opposition
can be well sustained"
