control Of it, made their western tefmi-
nus at this port. The change, if it is
made, will be welcomed by the business
men of this city and vicinity. 1t will be
decided benefit to them in many ways.
If the Frank Jones is run to this city,
the steamship company will. in all
probability put another boat ON the line

tween Portland and Bar Harbor.
