A LINE OF ROW BOATS.
Preparations to Use Them Oh the
Mountain Division Today.

Bad Washout Near Hiram Ties Up the
Line When the Workmen Had just
Cleared It-A Hard Time.
The Maine Central are having a hard
and discuraging task on the Mountain
Division, on account of the unruly
waters of the Saco. On Monday morn
ing the Mountain Division had wash
outs in several places: At Brownfeld.
bad one, 60 feet long by 90 deep; a
long and shallow one near Glen station
another near Twin Mountain, and a
fourth at Quebec junction. But by
prompt effort all these repairs were
made so that the train which left here
at $50 p. m., Monday went through all
right. The train due here at $40 p. m.,
Monday, came through all right. 1t was
about two hours late, but this was due
to waiting for trains on connecting
roads. Superintendent Hamilton thought
therefore, on Monday evening, that the
difficulties were over, especially as the
waters or the Saco were already reced-
ing in the mountains. But there is a
popularity of the Saco, caused by the
narrow gorge of the falls at Hiram. This
backs the water onto the intervales as
far up as Fryeburg, forming reservoir
which emptles ITSELF Slowly. and keeps the
water up in the lower river. Yesterday
morning it was found that /. another
washout had just occurred little this
side Of Bridgton junction, where the
railroad crosses the county road. About
200 feet of the road are gone, and the
train service was paralyzed again yestere
day. The difficulty in making repairs
will be caused by the slowness of the
water in subsiding. The S.45 a. m.
train will start this morning as usual,
but with the expectation of not going
beyond West Baldwin. 1t will take two
row boats along, and If the washouts
bid fair to be too long mending, passen-
gers and mails will be transferred. The
boats were loaded onto car last even
ing. and everything is in readiness for
the journey and the voyage.

Rich Red Blood

In the body of an adult person there are
about IS pounds of blood.
The blood has as it's most important ele-
ments, small round corpuscles, red and
white, in proportion of about 800 red to 1
white one.
If the number of red corpuscles becomes
diminished and the white ones increased
the blood is impure, thin, lacking in the
nutrition necessary to sustain the health
and nerve strength of the body.
Then That Tired Feeling, Nervousness,
scrofula, Salt Rheum, or others of the long
train OF ills, according to the temperament
and disposition, attack the victim.
The only permanent remedy is found in
a reliable blood medicine like Hoods
Sarsaparilla, which acts upon the red cor
puscles, enriching them and increasing
their number. 1t thus restores the vital
fluid to healthy condition, expels all i'm
purity, cures Nervousness, That Tired Feel
ing, Scrofula and all other diseases arising
from or promoted by low state of the blood
That these statements are true we prove
not by our own statements, but by what
thousands of perfectly reliable people say
about Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read the testi-
monial in the next column from beloved
clergyman. Then take
