ELECTRIC ROAD. I
CONSTRUCTION EXPERT GOES
OVER PROPOSED ROUTE.
hAPREssED OPINION THAT ROAD
WOULD PROVE PAYING INVEST
MENT-wILL MAKE FORMAL
REPORT LATER,

Last Thursday morning II. N. Bates,
OF the Continental Construction Co., of
Boston, arrived in Ellsworth for the pur-
pose OF going over the route OF the pro-
posed electric railway from Ellsworth to
Csstine.
Mr. Bates. accompanied by Mr..
Morrow, Mr.. Halman and l.. F. Hooper,
started from Ellsworth, spent all day
thursday and part of Friday on the
route, arriving back in Ellsworth about
A pm.
In the evening complimentary dinner
was given the visitors at the NicoIin
clubhouse. At the dinner Mr.. Bates
addressed the party, speaking in very
general way of his impressions of the
route, of the project and of its practica-
bility.
The visitors left for Boston on the 10
O'Clock train. From the data acquired
while here Mr.. Bates will formulate a re-
after this has been done, definite state
ment of the situation will doubtless be
made public.
Until all this is done it is impossible to
to do more than talk over the situation in
a general way.
1t may be said, however, that Mr.. Bates
took very sanguine view OF the outlook !;
he said the scheme was entirely practi-
cal bic and that from data at hand, basing
calculations on electric roads elsewhere,
this road, If built, ought to prove pay
ing investment.
Electric roads vary very widely in cost
OF construction, according to location,
amount of engineering, size OF rails, quail
ity OF equipment and cost and location of
power. This variation is from 5000 or
$1,000 up to s15, 900 per mile.
The sources of revenue from a road
situated like this one would be passenger
and freight traffic, expressage and mail
carrying. Roughly speaking, there are
1000 people tributary to this proposed
route.
The cost OF operating an electric rail-
road, including interest on bonds, is from
forty to sixty per cent. OF the gross earn.
ings. Mr.. Bates thought that an esti-
iuhlS VI MY per tSbts Wouio bC q cuic chSs
The intensest interest is being mani
tested in this project not only in Els
worth but also all along the line. Its
advantages are manifold. II fair profit
on what 1t will cost to build the road
can be figured out, there is but little
doubt that the money necessary to build
1t can be raised.
Monday afternoon several representa-
tive business men OF Ellsworth held an
informal meeting to consider the project,
and to form in a general way an estimate
OF what 1t is believed the towns and in
dividuals along the route would subscribe
for stock in the road.
Mr.. Halman, who has been so untiring
in his efforts to have the road built, has
informed the Boston men interested OF
the result OF the business mems meeting,
and asked IL the Boston men will build
the road providing towns and individuals
su bscribe the amount which 1t is esti-
mated can be raised.
A reply to Mr.. Halman's letter Is
awaited with interest.

What a Watervflle Man
Did.

This statement was made by Henry
j. Collins, IA Drummond Ave-, Water
vile, Me-, on the 24th of June, 1900:
weighed one hundred and TWENTY
four pounds.
sMy face and body were covered
with pimples, and for nearly 8 years
had been troubled with my kidneys.
81 now weigh one hundred and
fifty-six pounds.
my face and body are free from
pimples, and my kidneys do not trou-
BILE me at all.
What did he do for himself?
That is pertinent question.
Before it is answered, let it be said
that he did what he was told to do,
and that was what thousands had been
told to do and had done with entire
satisfaction to themselves.
And yet it was what many are delay
ing to do, simply because they cannot
make up their minds to do it, in spite
of the fact that pimples are pimples
and kidney complaint is kidney com
plant, and what has cured these things
in one person can be reasonably ex-
pected to cure them in another.
He took Hoods Sarsaparilla, which

eruptions, all scrofulous diseases, ca
tarrh, dyspepsia, rheumatism and

Hoods Sarsaparilla acts directly and
peculiarly on the blood, and by making
it pure, rich and abundant, strengthens
the stomach, liver and kidneys, per-
fects digestion, secretion and excretion,
clears the complexion, increases the
weight, and builds up the whole system.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, being an excel
lent remedy, is one for which substi-
tutes are sometimes offered. They do
not act like Hoods, and it is expensive,
in view of the result, to experiment.
with them.
Hoods Sarsaparilla is obtainable Of
