Calais Times. from Presque Isle to some
point on the European ard North American
section of the Maine Central, is what the
people of Aroostook county demand. and the
Nattavamkeag route Is not in favor. Ii
would require the building Of twenty miles
more Of road BY the way of Salmon stream
than by way of Houltou and would lose the
business Of an important part of the county,
namely. Monticello. Lirtleton. Houlton.
Hodgdon. Linneus, New Limerick and Lad-
low. Pre.qae Isle and Bancroft are in the
second range, W. E. L. S. Presque Isle
village j. near the vest line of the town.
Near the west line of Bancroft the road
would branch OF from the E. & N. A. rail-
road; an air line would be seven mile. vest
of Houlton village. No better way can be
found than by way Of Houlton. Such a road
would control the business of the county.
