The international Railroad.
During the past season, extensive surveys
have been made in Northern Maine for the In
ternational Railroad now building across the
State from Lake Megantic. The original
charter allows the road to pass around Moose
head Lake, but it has beer found that more
favorable location can be obtained il the road
Is carried across the lake, and Mr.. Parker
Spofford OF Bucksport is now preparing plans
for such ronte for use before the Canadian
Parliament and the legislature OF this State
The point OF crossing the lake is about half
way between GreeDville and Mt. Kiueo, Where
IL is about ten miles wide. Two of the largest
islands in the lake will be crossed, and the
balance of the route bridged. The bottom of
the lake has been found very favorable for
bridge construction. A crew of men has been
put to work at &sttawamkeag, where the In-
ternational will connect with the Maine Gem
tral, and it Is proposed another year TO have
several crews at work in different places along
the route that the road may be ompleted as
early as possible. The new road will open MP
new timber regions, which will be invaded by
portable saw mills and short lumber manufac-
tured for commercial purposes before being
shipped from its forest home.
