Railroad Causes Large Gain In Real

Railroad Causes Large Gain In Real
fse Estate Valuation.
Washington county will show more of
q gain in wealth by this years report OF
the State assessors than any other county
in the State. This is something OF a sur
prise to the assessors. rho are not able to
account for it. 1t was notable thing
that hen the Bangor & Aroostook rail-
road opened up Aroostook county, the
route of the road could easily be traced
by the returns from those towns through
which the road passed, which showed a
marked increase in value, as the farmers
had a means by which they mig hit get
their farm produce out of the country.
That was because there was no other
manner in which the produce might be
shipped to the outside world with a
profit.
When the Washington County road
was opened up, 1t WAS not believed that
there would be any great increase in value.
In the first place, the county has an ex
tensive water front, SO that 1t Ia possibi
to reach Boston markets. Again, the
county is one OF the poorest In the State,
considering its area, and has been grow
ing poorer for several years. That 10, the
reports made the State assessors showed Q
dropping OF In wealth. 1t was believed,
therefore, that there would be no marked
increase In wealth.
Just what causes this increase II 10 i'm
possible to say, unless the credit is given
to the Washington County railroad.
There Ia one thing by which the increase
in wealth may be accounted for. The for
nation Of the sardine syndicate seems to
have given q boom to the value OF prop
erty In towns where the factories are To-
Gated. Another thing is the increase In
the value of personal property. During
the beginning OF the year, the sardine
dealers, owing to peculiar circumstances,
found themselves with a large stock OF
sardines on hand. These they were una.
BILE to dispose OF before April l, the time
when the State assessors made their
rounds. This is so apparent, that in
towns where the factories are located
there Is q large increase in the value of
the property, in some towns the valuation
being almost double that of the year be-

A CHILD,s COMPOSITION.
"rhe Best Day Had ON Wy Last
Vacation"
Written by Elizabeth Mattox. of Bluehill,
aged 10 years

How wish yoa kG1 seen w.tt ire TIC
day went to Bar Hsrborl The weather
was pleasant, AID had lot Q; SAC Blue
hill boys and girls with me, so OF course
you can imagine what a good time we
had. We put upa lunch ard rode down
to the steam boat wharf on q blackboard.
As the boat started at half-past seven, we
made an early start.
While we were on the boat, we children
did all sorts OF things-we bought treats,
and went all over the boat, part OF the
time on the upper deck, and part OF the
time on the lower deck, but we did not
stay in the saloon long. because 1t made
me sick. Every one that was seasick
stayed there, and such humping as the
engines made in there you never heard.
When we were crossing the bar We ate
our lunch, and arrived at Bar Harbor at
half past eleven. The first thing that we
did when we got there was to go ashore &.
Harry Cousins and Mae Curtis and went
up town and went in some of the shops,
and looked over the place. When We
went back to The boat some went on board
OF the wsrshi ps, but 1 didn't care to. so we
went back on shore and sawthe"Ssppho"
and saw goat harnessed up as a horse,
and lots OF things. The goat WAS awfuiIy
cunning; wish you could have seen him.
About a quarter past four the boat
started for home. The British war ships
were all along in a row, and the Cath
crime" went right alongside Of them, as
near as she could go, SO We had fine
chance to see them. We could see the
guns and all the rigging quite plainly,
and there were lots OF sailors who waved
their handkerchief and shouted as we
went by.
The American warsbips were out be-
hind the point, and We didn't see those SO
plainly. But just as we were going to
start we saw three OF the tenders OF I he
Americans. There were seven sailors on
each side; each had An oar, and they
looked awfuily pretty rowing together.
We didn't GO in to Somes sound. All the
stops we made were at South Bluehiii and
the Point. We got home about s, very
tired but very happy.
II i could write AZ fast as l can talk, you
would easily see why this WAS the best
day had last vacation.
