Parker Spofford of Bucksport, have just re-
turned from an extended tour throughAroos-

from Mattawamkeag to Presque Isle,
through Patten and Houlton. During this
time they noted carefully the lay of the
lands, the streams, soils. ranges of hills,
ledges, mountains, etc., all in the interest

are confident the entire line need not be over

this distance can be lessened some miles.
There need not be bridge more than 100
feet in length; no grade over 65 feet to the
mile, and the line will be located with view
o53 feet grade.
