THE BATTLE OF THE RAILROADS.
The B. & A. and the Canadian Pacific
Fighting for the Freight in Aroostook

County.
BANGOR, Me-, August goth. A siren
uous war for the control of the railroad
business in northern Maine is being wag-
ed by the Bangor & Aroostook and the
Canadian Pacific systems, and much
public interest is aroused in the fight of
the rival companies. The struggle for
supremacy centers particularly in Aroos-
took county, where both systems are ex-
tending their lines and displaying I'M
usual activity in railway construction.
Up to few years ago the Bangor &
Aroostook was the only railroad in this
region, but of late years the Canadian
Pacific railway has been invading the
territory, and while at first it was only
small competitor Of the original railroad,
it has been constantly spreading out,
until it is now an important factor in the
business.
Potatoes and lumber are the chief
commodities in the traffic which these
companies are reaching out for, and last
year the Canadian Pacific handled at
least AZ percent Of the entire export crop
of potatoes.
The latest extension of the Canadian
Pacific road is branch line under the
name Of the Aroostook Valley railroad,
of which the first unit of track, ~
mile stretch between Presque Isle and
Washburn, is now being laid. When
completed the new road will have line
of about 125 miles north to the St. John
river, and through the heart of the Ban
gor and Aroostook territory.
The new road will be operated by cleo
trio power, both passenger and freight,
as by virtue of law comforting monOp-
oily the Bangor & Aroostook railway is
tory by steam railroads. The railroad
will also be the first 1200-volt direct
current system in New England.
The Bangor & Aroostook railroad is at
present combining it's extensions to new
line between Fort Kent to St. Francis, a
distance of II miles, which is expected
to be completed sometime in October.
The company intended to extend its line
