Increase from
PASSENGERS.



The net results Of the financial year Just
closed, show surplus Of SS4 .604.55, after
payment Of all fixed charges and taxes, oper-
ating expenses and two semi-annual divi-
dends Of 8 per cent. each.
While this is very satisfactory showing
for the years business, 1t Is more satisfacto-
ry as indicating the steady growth of busi-
ness along our line. 1t goes far to confirm
what Is not generally known, that Maine
has at last taken her place among the grow
ing and progressive states Of the Union.
To those acquainted with the history
ity 1t Is plain that her need today is greater
railroad facilities, and this need II Is the pol
icy Of this company to supply as fast as pru-
dence and conservative management per-
nit But small part Of the territory Of
Maine can now be reached by rail. The
fertile fields Of Aroostook and the valuable
forests along her northern borders are as
yet practically inaccessible. When Maine
shall have the means of transportation de-
manded by her great and undeyeloped re-
sources, the tide Of emigration which Is al
ready checked, will turn. Her people who
have left her during the last decade will
come back, immigrants to their native State,
where ample opportunity Is afforded for all
their enterprise and capital.
During the past year "a miles of road have
been constructed the extension Of the Port
land & Ogdensburg division from Fayban's
to ScOtts Mills, II miles, and from Dexter to
Dover and Foxcroft, II miles.
The latter road was built by the Dexter b
Piscataquis Railroad Company and perpet-
ual lease was taken by this company at $l2.-
500 per annum. A copy Of this lease is hereto
appended.
Other important extensions are under con-
sideration, the construction Of which 1t Is
hoped will commence next year.
Since the last report your property has
been much improved, and the cost OF all such
improvements, excepting those on the Port
land Il Ogdensburg Railway and purchase Of
real estate, have been charged to operating
expenses.
The report Of the General Manager and
that Of the Treasurer, submitted herewith.
together with the tables annexed, give infor-
nation in detail in regard to the physical and
financial condition of your property.

OF the death Of one of Bellaire's most
prominent citizsns, the Independent says:
flames S. Gill died at his home on Rose
Hill at midnight Friday night, in the G5th
year of his age. He had not been serious
ly sick long, but ever since his wife died,
some three months ago he seemed to have
lost the courage and ambition Of the rug-
ged and earnest life be lived while she was
yet with him. With her death seemed to
die the light, hope and comfort of the
strong, hearty husband aud father who
had weathered the storms Of an active life
without the misfUrtuues OF sickness, and
when the time came his whole system
gave way apparently, and death claimed
him en- easy victim Mr.. Gill had always
been Woodworking, active map, and AZ
the time of his death WIS engaged in the
manufacture OF pots for glass factories, an
industry that has grown to b. quite an inn
poTtant one. He was also a director of the
Belmont Glass Works, and had attained
comfortable share of this worlds fortune.
He was scruPulously honest AID upright
in all his dealings, and in his death Bel
laire has lost clIizen whose integrity was
above reproaoh, and whose chief pleasure
was found at home with his family. His
children are all grown-Mr. Charles J.
Gill is secretary Of the Elson Glass Com
pany, Mr. William J. GIL, manager of the
Belmont, ard both of his other sons,
Harry and Frank, are we'll provided in
comfortable positions, while an only

srYoung man, do You know it would
take an immense amount OF money 10
move that steel plant. and that even
whole farm would not be an inducementY
well how would it do 10 say that the
talk of such move is absurd and not to
be thought OF"
'sNo; you had better not say that, be-
cause there is somewhat of a deficiency at
the present location, and that fact has
probably been given out by some of the
workmen. The whole fact of the matter
is that we are in rather cramped quarters,
and not in position to com
pete with the Riverside, and
Bellaire Steel Works in some kinds OF pro-
duct. You remember there was talk OF
purchasing the New Benwood nail factory
site TO secure additional room, but that
would be an expensive move, as the tsc'
tory would cost about SOS, 900. Nothing
has been done in regard TO the removal OF
definite nature. 1t has simply been
talked of, ard whether it will ever amount
to ANYTHING cannot now be said. There
Is one thing sure, and that is we need more
room"
