at Greenville push directly to Katahdin Iron

some contract with the B. p. Railroad
Company and use that road to Milo. and
thence as before or as is strongly advocated
by many in st. John and New Brunswick to
build Greenville to Mattawamkeag distance
of seventy-five miles to connect with the
Maine Central at that point.

should not be taken, but the road, being built

short route to the Lower Provinces from the

it is physical impossibilty to construct and

a very respectable portion of it, if less than

But, beyond all this, however much money
the owners Of the road may have, we very
much doubt if they will care, for the sake
of saving 90 or 30 miles, to construct 200
miles through the trackless forest, destitute
of cities, villages and inhabitants, when by
building between so and 100 miles only, and
then using present lines they may reach the
desired result. 1t would seem to be almost
certain that the road will run south of Moose
head Lake.
