numerous attractions to interest visitors.

A special to the Bangor Daily News saws
that the work on the extension of the Wiscas-
set and Quebec railroad from A loon to
Burnham is progressing very rapidly, and
will be completed to Buruham and trains
running there before Jan. L. The line is all
subgraded and the work can be RAPIDLY
pushed. The work is done by the COM
pany under the personal direction of Messrs.
McGonagle and Lake, who are both
practical railroad builders. A large crew
of Italian laborers are now at work. 1t
is not probable that the line will run be-
yond Durham this year, but it will surely
be built to Pittstield.
