WASHINGTON.
The Macbias Union saws that the with
drawal of the boats between Portland and
Machiasport for the winter leaves the people
of the shore towns of Washington county in
as bad plight, as far as travel is concerned,
as they were 30 wears ago.
For fifteen years the towns along shore had
the benefit of one trip per week. This ena-
bled the traders to order goods weekly. They
had no thought this privilege was to be cut
off this winter. = Hence, no one had laid IN
stock of goods for a month ahead. and the
only chance now for all the Machias region
to receive goods by express is by wav OF
Eastport.
