The Growing Network In
Central Maine,
Augusta Is Center Of Splendid
Electric System.
The New Lines TO Wateryille and
Lewiston Nearly Completed.

y little study of the, map of central
Maine will show the extensive Develop
Tcnt of electric road building in this
section of the State in recent years.
Augusta is an important part in this
system, which already has changed
greatly the methods of communication
opened up new industries, and added to
the value of properties in large
measure. Augusta men and Augusta
capital have also played an important
part in this matter.
Early in the spring this city will
without doubt be connected by trolley
line with Lewiston. and also With
Waterville, and incidentally. have a
clear line to Portland and Massachu-
sets. The road to Lewiston is very
near completion. That road starts
from Gardiner and extends to Sabat-
tus, where it meets the Lewiston line.
Once at that point the traveller may go
to Turner, to Mechanics Falls, to
Brunswick and Bath, and by stepping
from one car to another. at Bruns-
wick. can take 4 straight road to
Portland. He can continue from there
to Old Orchard, and as much further
as he pleases, passengers having made
tic trip to New York city from Lewis
ton. this past summer entirely by the
trolley.

1t will be well to take a second look
at the SIS bills and the silver ha I
dollars which come into ones possess
sion nowadays, as counterfeits of both
are in circulation. Notices were
issued a few days ago by the treasury
department calling attention to the
BILL and as some of them as we'll as
the half dollars have made their ap
pearance in Portland it is not unlikely
that they will find their way to Au-
gusta. The counterfeit of the bill is
not a good one and is easily detected
but the half dollar is a better piece OF
work. The coins thus far discovered
bear the date 1861. and are difficult to
detect by reason of being quite badly
worn, but they. lack the genuine silver
ring. 1t is said that these coins are
made mostly of zinc.
