WatervlIIe as a Railroad
Center Is Discussed.
Electric Franchises PrOV9ke a
Very Warm Discussion.
The Members Conclude to Aci on
the Matter Individually.

Tho Watcrvillc Board Of Trade had a
spicy meeting Friday evening, the en-
tire session being given up to the con
sidcration of the railroad question:
in its various aspects. While 4 COM
mittrc was appointed on the Narrow
Gauge matter, the electric railroad
question. which WAS the one thing
everybody wanted to talk about, prov
ed a little too hot to handle. and as a
board no action was taken, the under
standing being reached that individual
members of the board could take what
ever action they pleased regarding
the lending OF fhoir influence for or
aginst the proposition of the Augusta
q Waterville 90, which Will have its
hearing Tuesday before the State
Board of Railroad commissioners at
Augusta.
The first business which came up
for consideration was the proposed
extension Of the Wiscasset, Waterville
x Pennington railroad to Waterville.
y committee to look into the matter of
assisting the road to secure q cross
ing over the Kcmcbcc. was appointed.
as follows: Fred Pooler. Fred j.
Arnold and John H. Burleigh.
John Il. Nelson thought that the board
should give attention to the proposed
electric railroad from Augusta to Water
vile. Mr.. Nelson said that the sn-called
Graham syndicate had aSsimiated many
railroad systems ana now had made o
number OF valuable acquisitions in Maine
The whole proposition is for the road
to run from Augusta up the River road
to East Nassalboro to North Nassalboro
to Ninslow, to the end Of tho Ticoni2
bridge. The railroad commissioners were
to give a hearing on the matter Tues
day. lie thought that Watcrville people
SHOULD BE- interested i'll having the road
built
Hc!hnrt L. Emery thought that the Au-
gusta by way OF North Nassalboro prop.
ositirn was worth four times as much to
Watcrvillc merchants as the Waterfalls
& Oakland proposition.
Fred w. Clair Est. said that he had
been approached by Mr.. Warren Of Wins
low relative to the rights Of the town
of WInslow and the city of Waterville in
the 'Ticonic bridge. lie thought that as
many Of the Watcrville merchants as
possible should go to Augusta Tuesday
ana dppcar before the board in favor of
the granting of the location of the Wa
tervillc 4 Augusta Road
Nj. Clair favored the passage Of a reso-
luton by the board. He said that the mu-
nicipal officers Of Watervilc had voted II
BE- represented sending their city sole
tor.
Mr.. emery asked rs to the present sta
tus Of the rights of the two companies
on the Ticonic bridge.
NJ. Clair replied that the Waterville
& Oakland Railroad would have the right
to use the Augusta & Watervillc tracks
in making an extension to the Winslow
station.
Hon. William T IIanes moved that a
committee be appointed

Henry's Call to Arms.
Our fathers we'll knew their duty to
government as well as the duty of gov
eminent TO man. The tide Of the revo-
luton was rising; Henrys call to arms
had aroused a continent, and the Amer
leans were painting for liberty, civil
liberty-that liberty which government,
the trustee Of society, could give: which
it ought TO give. and which they had
finally determined under God IL must
give. This declaration OF all. and each
Of the colonies, in the basic organisms
OF the new government. affirmed that
certain rights. given OF God, could not
be denied by the government Of man
and that the government that attempted
Il was equally tyranhical. whether for
eign or domestic. and must be resisted.
And. ii is a source OF Infinite pride,
as We look back over the pathway OF
three centuries. TO ind that az each
successive stage and each recurring
decade, civil liberty was building new
monuments and erecting new affairs
at every step Of its progress. And thus
like those sustaining powers IN me-
/ chauiCs which retain whatever they
once have gained, it advances with a
step that never retrOgrades."

Mr. President, our distinguished guests,
ladies and gentlemen. Standing upon an
emiuence of three centuries of achieve
ments, the American republic pauses to-
day TO celebrate. in fitting manner. the
ter-centennial of its birth on the banks
of the Jawny James. The steadiest head
grows dizzy at retrospect of the marve-
lous progress Of 800 years. The origin Of
ancient Rome, OF Greece. and OF other
countries that in their day have con-
trolled the destines Of the world, are
shrouded in mystery. or preserved in
fable, by poetic fancy More fortunate
than these, or any OF them, is this Amer
lean republic, Tot only in its knowledge
of the date Of its birth, but IN the pos
session of the names and charect ers OF
those who first faced the dangers Of the
| sea, and then the dangers Of the savage
and forest. in the founding Of the great

we gather today in the presence Of this
distinguished company, representing not

1t cannot be doubted, think. that the

Spain at the time was the most potent
influence which eliminated in the settle
ment of an English colony In America.
In support Of this view. consider for a
moment the character of those To whom

among them were many OF those who
! had been engaged In the Spanish wars
! and who naturally imbibed the spirit of
those struggles: Sir Thomas Gates,
, Capt George YeardIey. Lord De La

ana Sir Thomas Dale, who succeeded
him: Newport the captain OF the first
neet; WinghelG. Sir Thomas Smith.
treasurer OF the colony, and others. all
soldiers in the Spanish wars, and deeply
imbUed with the religious spirit aroused
by those wars.
