NEW STEAMER LINE.
Small Point and HardIngs Station Soon 10 Be
Connected.

Brunswick May 1O-(SpeciaD-A
bonded syndicate has been formed at
Brunswick, recently, at the head Of
which is Mr.. Scion l. Cahill, for the
purpose of carrying ON steam pas
senger traffic on the New Meadows
river between Harding Station in
West Bath, and the famous summer re :
sort, Small Point. Bull bridge. over the
New Meadows, now closed to travel
is to be put in good condition at the
expense of the syndicate, which pro-
pose to put in a draw, thus permit
ting the steamer to run up the river as
far as the new landing, which will be
situated not more than 80 yards from
the Maine Central station at Harding.
1t is thought that the line will be in
operation by the middle of June. A
steamer capable of carrying 80 pas
sengers has been procured, and will
occupy about two hours and a half
each way including landings.
The sail down the New Meadows is
one of the most beautiful to be found
on any of the inland waters of Maine.
and it seems strange that until now no
one has undertaken a venture that
promises to be SO rc.nunerative to the
stockholders.
The grove on the west bank of the
river, between the railroad and draw
bridges is to be made into handsome
little park, where the patrons of the
line may take lunch either going to or
coming from the resorts down the river.
Here light refreshments and cool tenn
perance drinks may be procured. and
suitable places will be provided for
those preferrng to bring their lunch
from home.
Between Harding and Small Point
the steamer will stop at all the places
of interest along the river, where suit
able landing places viii be constructed.
Among these may be mentioned the
cozy little hosiery at Gurnet's Bridge.
Here there is quite a settlement of cot
tagers from Brunswick, and here the
scenery is so grand that summer
visitors to this part of the State never
think of leaving without visit to Cur
nets. Other resorts along the river are
the Brentwood, an inn we'll managed by
Landlord Hennessy, from which fine
view of the eastern part of Casco Bay
is obtainable; then there is Cuudy'S
Harbor, with it's large hotel, the Union
House, whence the steamer can be ta-
ken for Portland or any of the numer-
Gus islands in the bay. Small Point,
the southern terminus of the route, is
a long neck of land stretching out into
the Atlantic. From its high bluffs Il
view of the rocky Maine coast for miles
can be obtained. and scores of sailing
vessels and ocean steamers pass daily.
At Harding, just above the grove,
is shortly to be erected the power
house of the Bath and Brunswick cleo
tric railway. and the cars will pass
every half hour, so that. together with
the fine accommodations furnished hy
the Maine Central, the route Will be
most easy of access.
Nearly all the stock has been sub
scribed for already, and there is little
doubt but that it will be great sue

The report of Lieut.. Col. Damrell
on several projects for the improve
ment of Maine rivers and harbors,
just transmitted to Congress. recon-
mends the dredging of a channel so
feet wide and two feet deep at extreme
low tide in kenduskeag river from it's
mouth up to Kenduskeag bridge and
deepening the harbor of Bangor in
front of the Boston & Bangor steam
boat wharf to eleven feet from the
harbor line out, the same to cost some
thing over $4,000. AS to opening
125 feet wide and feet deep channel
at Machias harbor at cost of $50 900,
Colonel Damrell is of the opinion that
the river is worthy of improvement,
but it is reported that the mill waste
is still going into the river in such
quantities as to fill up any improve
ments which might be made. He does
not think the development of commerce
warrants further work on the Harra-
seellit river at Freeport nor on the
Royal river. OF the improvements de-
sired at Boothbay harbor the report
says that the conditions appear to be
favorable for the improvement. First.
a wharf line should be established
around the harbor and the area includ-
ed dregded out to the depth of fifteen
feet. The cost should not exceed forty
thousand dollars. The survey for the
work should cost about five hundred
dollars. and if this survey shows that
the improvements would not cost over
forty thousand dollars Colonel Dam
rell is of the opinion that they should
be made. The report favors survey
of Chambers river which empties
into Englishman's bay, about thirty
miles west of the ST Croiy
