NEW BOND ISSUED PLANNED.
Somerset Railroad Proposes TO Issue S42o..
900 Consolidated Bonds.

The stockholders of the Somerset
Railroad Will hold n meeting. May a.
tn take action on the matter Of issu-
ing $4,000 consolidated bonds At
first sight this looks very much like
an early extension of the road to con-
meet with the Canadian Pacific. Much
attention has been given by the lum-
bermen Of the State Of late to shipping
logs by rail. With connections with
the Canadian Pacific and the Kennebec
river the Somerset would practically
have corner on the business in this
section of the State. a splendid lum-
herring district would be opened and
the cost of building the road along the
natural route would doubtless be less
than It is through a settled section Of
the State. The fact that the amount
OF the proposed issue of the bonds
would be just about enough to build
the road to the nearest point Of the
canadian Pacific has made the extern
sion II the road with the proposed is
sue or bonds seem TO be very likely
by those familiar with the situation.
Another thing suggested by the COM
ing meeting is the shutting out Of the
3 d NJ. Road, which, now that it is
out Of court. is in position to ex-
tend its line to Moosehead lake from
Hartland. 1t would be a big opening
1or The little road that has had 50
much trouble Of its own and make it
4 rival at least of the Somerset.
These two things are, however. only
dreams as yet. Il. Wesley Dunn was
seen by the Journal, yesterday, and he
explained the matter as follows: The
Somerset Road proposes to make
consolidated issue of bonds on much
the same plan that was used by the
Maine Central, some years ago. The
road has block Of $225. 900 in bonds
