Charles Grant in an improvised lunch room
; in H. L. Hopkins new building, ices and
cool drinks were for sale in the same Struc-
ture by Messrs. Ladd Il ConnorS, while at
the Libby House nearly 200 were fed and
many more could have been. Mr. Law
renee at the fruit store served lunches.
while at the 'Pavilion," CLANS, fish and
other foods were we'll prepared and served

AN ARooSTooK SHIPPER AT STOCKTON.
Thomas A. Fisher of Fort Fairfield was one
of the 10 Aroostook shippers who recently
visited Stockton Springs tor two days ana
observed the wonderful work that has been
done in the process OF developing quiet
little country village into What seems to him
as certain to become a large and important
seaport town. In letter to the Bangor
Sunday Republican he says: 1.-The occasion
was very enjoyable one for every person
participating IN the excursion and was OF
Importance to Northern Maine because II
may be regarded in one sense as establish

splendid and progressive section OF the
State and the system through which their
products will be mainly sent to the worlds

of the new railroad connections are COM
mended, he reports the arrival at the great
passenger dock at Kdder's Point, and says
of if:
This dock juts into Stockton harbor, but
is really in the town of Searsport. Here
our train was anchored, so to speak, and it
became the headquarters of the party dur
ing our stay. We arrived there about
O'Clock and spent Saturday afternoon and
Sunday forenoon driving about the towns
of Searsport and stockton Springs and in
visiting the great freight wharves at Cape
Jellison, which we reached by launches
from kidder's Point. There was not mem
| Der of the party who did not express his APP
probation at the great work which has been
done here and to those who had not seen
before the immense undertaking it was
subject of wonder that so much could have
been achieved in the short time which has
elapsed since the enterprise was started In
short, the consensus of opinion was that

''There was much satisfaction expressed
at the freight transportation facilities which
| have been provided and believe that every
man in our party appreciates the fact that
vantages will help enormously in the de-
velopment of Northern Maine"
