COMMUNICATION.
'Interested Citizen" Has Few Pungent Re-
marks Regarding Proposed Railroad.

To the Editor Of the Kennebec Journal:
Your timely article on the pressing need
of railroad east from Augusta would
seem to call for more than a passing no.
tice from those who are directly interested
in the material welfare of the city. 1t
must be readily conceded that total in
difference to such things has resulted dis
astrously in times past, and should serve
as warning in time to come. l am no
alarmist but it is well enough to look at
things about as they are. Many years
ago Augusta was the commercial centre of
large extent of country. / distinctly re-
member the immense traffic upon our
wharves and business street and the long
lines of teams of every description to be
seen most any week day on Winthrop
street long before the opening of
Western avenue, freighted inward with all
sorts of country produce, and outward with
West India goods, groceries, etc. Time
went on but the scene had changed. The
great canvas top caravans from Farming
ton and beyond, drawn by four and six
horses, were no longer familiar sight upon
our streets. Augusta seemed like banquet
hall deserted. ! remember the talk of
back route railroad but nobody here
thought it would materialize, even after
the work of construction had begun, but en-
terprise triumphed and our Western trade
was at once diverted to other lines. This
much for example. To-day similar state of
things exists upon our Eastern border. To
get something of an idea of the amount of
trade coming to Augusta from that section
one has but to take drive out on any of
the principal roads with that object in view,
and they will be surprised. A glance at
the railroad map of Maine will show that
Augusta is fast becoming an island, as it
were. When an Augusta business man
goes of. the main line he fully realizes that
fact. The loss of our eastern trade would
be keenly felt.

ELECTRIC ROAD.
Directors Talk About Laying Track on SswaII
Street.

The propo sed plan of running the line
of the electric road from Grove street up
Western avenue and Sewall street, is being
carefully considered by the directors of the
Augusta, Hallowel & Gardiner. road.
Several of them believe that it will be a
profitable move to change the track from
State street. Rails enough are at hand
now to build the track and the additional
cost of having the line run on that street
YOU d be slight.
BIZ having the road run on Sewall street it
would pass through the center of the sec
ton of the city west of Water street and
from glance at the map of Augusta it
will be seen that it would be far better
situated to secure patronage there than
where it is now located. For instance people
living on Winthrop street would generally
find the electric road more convenient if
on Sewall street. The directors will prob
ably have a meeting very soon and talk the
matter over. They have also been con-
sidering the matter of the East side extern
sion,

"GILuooLYs ABROAD"

The "Gilhoolys Abroad" presented at

lots of hearty laughter for the audience
which was not as large as it should have
been. The "Gilhoolys," George and John
German were full of genuine fun, and were
encored frequently, while the other special
ties were also appreciated. One especially
fine feature of the entertainment was the
singing. The last act was especially funny
and kept everybody roaring with laughter
during the greater part Of its production.

"sHORE ACRES. u

"Shore Acres" the great American play
will be given a fine scenic production at the
Augusta Opera house on Wednesday even
ing September 26th, by Mr.. James A.
Herne and his admirable supporting COM
pany. The scenes Of 'Shore Acres" are
laid along the coast of Maine and its hero
Nathaniel Berry is fit type of true New
England life. The story unfolded in
Shore Acres is not only true
to life, but true to ife's higher
ideals. In his endeavor to reveal the daily
routine of mans humdrum existence, Mr.
Herne has not gone out of his way to look
for the exceptional, but has painted, and in
glowing colors, the life of New England
people as he has found them around him in
his own home. 1t is this truth to nature that
has made ashore Acres" so great a success
wherever it has been played. Its noble and
elevating sentiments appeal to rich and
poor alike and the impression it is sure to
make will not soon be forgotten. The
sale of seats will open Monday the oath.

The Fuller granite quarry presents a
much different appearance now than it did
last spring, when the Journal had an arti-
Gle regarding it. The extension has gone
northward, and better quality has been
procured, being more suitable for monu-
mental work. Slabs are now being taken
out void of any white stripes. A new der
rick has been put up, being larger and
much more substantial than the old one.
At present 40 men are at work, and it is
interesting to see with what accuracy the
cutter will split the blocks, one stroke often
being sufficient to divide slab smoothly
and in the desired place.
