RAILWAY MATTERS.
PLANS OF THE YARMOUTH ROAD

PLANS OF THE YARMOUTH ROAD.
As result of conferences between the
managers of the Portland and Yarmouth
and the Lewiston, Brunswick and Bath
railroads. 1t has been decided that it will
be possible to carry people from Portland
to Merrymeetlng in two hours at an ex-
pense OF 35 cents, II there be electric con-
neotion through the town of Freeport. and
as soon as the frost Is out Of ths ground
In the spring 1t Is the purpose of MIR.
Gerald to commence work on the neces-
sary connection.
The Yarmouth charter allows them to
build to the Freeport line on one side, and
Mr. Gerald's charter permits MIN to
build to the Frseport line on the othsr
side. Whether the railroad commission
ers WI allow the two lines TO be Joined
Is somewhat matter of doubt, The
steam roads are evidently going to fight
the extension of an electric line from
Portland to Biddeford; and there does not
seem to be good reason for believing that
there will be less resistance on the other
side of Portland. II the road is built 1t is
proposed that the cars which are TO run
over the new road shall he connterpalts
Of the Yarmouth cars and that they will
be run over the entire length of the sys-
tenn. The Yarmouth cars also going
through to Brunswick.
The Yarmouth company are also an BIZ
tious to reach the Union station in this
city, and it is understood that they think
of asking location for tracks ON Cumber-
land street to some convenient point from
which they can reach Grant street, then
passing down on to enc of the side streets
leading on to Congress, say Carter or
Forest street, thence across Congress to A
street and down B street to the Union
station.

CUTOFF FINISHED.
Wallula Trains VIII Take
Water Route.

w otOi hO&NCs
The last spike Of tie Q. X. & N
Co.'S Wallula-Grangc City cutoff
was driven last week and trains
will be running over it about the
middle of this month. II will
save an hour and 40 minutes on
passenger trains between Portland
and all points north Of Snake
river, and as it is well-eallasted
track, with only the heaviest rails
it will be free from dust and sand.
The cutoff will do away with
tie iccessity of the harding OF
freight and passengers over the
Alto Hill.
However a special service will
be maintained over the Alto Hill
line for the benefit Of Walla Walla,
Pendleton and other cities along
the old route. The only difference
will be that all points between
Starbuck and Spokane will be rea-
ched one hour and 40 minutes ear
lier. 1t will also be the means Of
bringing Portland that much near
er the east. The distance covered
by the cutoff is 66 miles. Betw
cen Grange City and Cello there
are now 1S9 miles of continuous
IS pound rails which with Il vel
balanced track will give passen-
gers the benefit. of route free
from dust.

instruction of Niagara Falls.

The announcement that ledge Of
rock has fallen, making Niagara falls
once more "U"-shaped cataract, marks
another step in the process which.
sooner or later, will result. it is pre-
dicted, in the total destruction of the
falls. The terrific force of the water,
falling over precipice $50 feet high,
gradually wears away the soft lime
stone underlying the harder strata over
which it runs, so that year by year
the top of the falls recedes. In the
last so years some parts of the falls
have receded $50 feet. In 1850 the
famous Table Rock. which had been
feature of the falls for years, was
| obliterated. At the present rate OF
progress it will be hundreds of years
before the great falls will be degraded
to the level Of an ordinary riffle.-Chi

L0BsTERs RISE IN PRICE.
Those Who Are Fond Of the Crus-
taceans VIII Have to ray More
for Them This Year.

This year people who are fond of
eating Holsters will have to pay dearly
for the privilege of INDUCING their APP
petites in such sea food, for the reason
that the crustaceans are scarcer now
than ever before" said a wholesale deal
err in fish in New York to the writer
day or two ago. Live Holsters are at
present selling at 20 cents per pound,
and as only comparatively small catch
es are daily reported by the fishermen
of Stonington, Block Island, and ether
well-known clustering grounds as far
east as Portland, Me-, the indications
are that further advance of from five
to ten cents pound may soon be looked
for.
Ten years ago almost any quantity
of fine Holsters could have been pur-
chased in New York at the rate of five
cents pound. The average size of live
Holsters that then came to market was
20 inches long. not counting claws. The
largest average now is not more than
half that length. There used to be
plenty of l4-pound Holsters and l have
seen them weighing is pounds. A lob
ster as large that would have to be 30
years old at least. This shellfish grows
slowly, and at three years old is not
much bigger than crawfish. a lobster
under five years old isn't fit for market,
but thousands of such youngsters have
to pass muster on our fish stalls nova
days.
THE present dearth of Holsters in
New England waters is largely due to
the enormous number of understood
ones that have in the past been caught
and sold for canning purposes in Maine
Millions of small shellfish that should
} have been allowed to develop and brecc
were thus annually exterminated, and
the result has been that the supply oil
F.: catable Holsters has dwindled from 80,
O0o,coO in 1889 to probably less thar
100000 in 1899.

are now as stringent as any game law
