eLECTRICS TO MADISON.
Prophecy Of Journal Of Five Years Ago Full
Ied-Somerset Booming.

Skowhegan Aug u-(SpeciaD.-
Some five years ago. the Journal repre-
sentative predicted that within 10
years an Electric Railroad would run
from SkoWhegan to NOrridgeWock,
that like road would be built from
this town to Hayden lake and thence
to Madison Bruge. The morning of
the day the Journal appeared with the
prediction mentioned, the Journal man
was greeted with the information that
he was i bad case of non compos men
It's. which. although no news to him.
had a lasting effect upon him. Today,
after nearly two years of Electrics
between Skowhegan and Norridge
Wock the State board of railroad com
miSsioners have been called upon to
inspect an Electric Railroad from this
village TO Hayden lake, thence to Mad
ison Bridge. or more properly. per
haps, Madison. Thus it will be seen
that the Journals prediction of five
years ago was not very far astraY. The
Journals idea at that time was to
make Hayden lake an outing place for
the toilers as well as a pleasure resort
and place of recreation for the more
fortunate in the worlds goods. Since
the project to build this latter road
was started. many cottages have been
added to the number already there,
another hotel has been built and a
general public playground has been
laid out.
The SkOwhegan e Madison Electric
Railroad has now been inspected by
the State officials and the road is one
OF the best in Maine. An extra heavy
rail has been laid and the road bed
properly ballasted for heavy traffic and
the company can switch a freight car
from the Maine Central. if need be, and
haul it loaded to Madison. The equip
ment of the road in rolling stock is
first class in every respect and the line
will be officially opened, next Sunday
with an excursion to Hayden lake from
Madison on the West and Watervillc
on the south. A special train will
leave Waterville at a seasonable hour
and run to Skowhegan, where the
Electrics will be taken for the lake. SO

on the home grounds.
Charlie Brady, the eX-umpire. made
his appearance at second base for

hard luck of the game The fact re-
mains, however, that Charlie is ball
player and will be reasonably sure to
strengthen the Portlands. He came in
for generous share of attention from
the crowd, and it is probable that his
play was not improved thereby.
