After seeming lull in the progress
OF tho plans concerning the new cleo

extend from Augusta Ia WaterVille viz

was made Tuesday when the civil en-
ginecr. John \. Jones of Lewiston. in
the employ of the Waterville < Fair

pany with Amos F. Gerald of Fairfield
went over the entire road line from
augusta I" oakland. The result was
that Mr. Gerald is now Of the opinion
that the line for the contemplated
ro"d as laid out by Mr. Jones is reason
ably practicable and unless there
should be necessary change in the
plans now under consideration for fl
nancial reasons known in advance IA
the builders. this line will BE- followed
by the road bed within a short time

Mr.. Gerald when asked by the Journal
as to the immediate prospects of the
road declined to make any positive an
SWer but emphaticaliy asserted that
the project Of the road was not A vision
but a reality. soon to be materialized
The road which is now contemplated
was described exclusively by the Jour
ral a few weeks ago. 1t will be re-
called that the plans as originally de-
vised were for the bed to extend from
Augusta to Oakland along the casterly
side of the MeSSalonSkee lake. about
half way between the main road and
The waters edge. covering a distance
of ~. miles.
Mir. Gerald, when asked what was
meant when he referred to a possible
necessary change for financial reasons"
when he had already intimated that
the road bed as first contemplated
seemed practicable, said that there had
heen another course under conSidera-
ton which the syndicate had come to
call the middle route" which would
run from Augusta through the center
of the town If Sidney, leading for the
most part through the thoroughfare

tiun he stated We're that in this way
they would have legal right to the
public highways which would contrast
greatly with the conditions which they
felt they We're facing in being obliged
To buy land owned by private parties
at tXtraVagant prices. He said:
. There is so strong 4 pressure upon
US from prominent men living on the
proposed different route which is to be
surveyed Immediately, that we may
find ii practicable to change our course.
The route which has been surveyed on
the east shore of Messalonskee lake is
for more than tWO-thirdS of the dis
tanc1. over private land and if the
people in that territory take undue adj
vantage of their locations the other
route will undoubtedly be selected. Not
orly this, but this road is one and one
half miles shorter between the two Ob-
iertive points than is the one at first
partially decided upon. 1t has also u
large number of thrifty farmers who
would feel the mutual advantage and
is also connected to many cross roads
coming in from shore to shore that
would add largely to its patronage. BY
DtI!lts tilliS Tor tHt nltSl part located Oll
the public highway there would be no
land damages whatever.
This new route is soon to be sur
veyed. in fact. if it had not rained to-
day. C"edncsday) Mr.. Jones would
have commenced upon the work this
morning. 1t will be surveyed however
within n week or 10 days and the two
plans he submitted to the company,
which will be extremely susceptible to
any encouragement which may be re-
ceiNed from the people living along the
lines of either of the proposed routes.
when this road is built along which
ever of the routes may be found most
desirable it will be one of the most
up-to-date roads in the state and viii

being raised for the young man and it
is thought that it will reach the thou
sand dollar mark within the next %

At Peters hearing this morning he
was exonerated from all blame. He
was given an ovation as he left the

A special grand jury was called to-
day and instructions to the jurymen

to indict anyone whom the evidence
which should be presented to them,
