TOGUS TO WARREN.
Another Electric Line Soon to Be
Added to Our System.

Tho following is from the Lewiston
Journal of June 26:
Hon. Chas. A. Lynch of Washington
was in this city Saturday in conferenc,
with Manager Ivers of the electric
road regarding the proposed new line
between Togus and Warren The
owns along the proposed route are
very enthulastic over the matter ant
there is now every prospect of it,
speedy success
Mr.. Lynch was in the Legislature
two years ago when the charter was
GRANTED and has always been one OF
its strongest advocates and supporters
The people of Washington are SO earn
est in the matter that they have held
public meetings and selected commit
tee to advance the project. Mr. Lynch
is the chairman of this committee and
it was in that capacity that he has
conferred with Mr.. Ivers today.
When this line is built it will con
meet with Lewiston at Togus. From
that starting point it will go down
through Whitefield, Washington and
Union to Warren. The road would al
so accommodate Liberty, Searsmont
and Appleton and all those towns ar,
anxious to see it built. AT later dat,
Il spur line would undoubtedly be built
to Liberty village, 'Searsmont and on tt
Belfast.
The Washington committee has al
ready had survey made from that
town to Union at their own expense
Mr.. Lynch says that an immense VOL
umc of freight will come over the line
Liberty alone promises 10000 tons per
year although it would be five miles
distant from the road. At present it's
nearest road is at Belfast, Is miles
away
So forcibly impressed is Mr.. Ivers
and the directors of the present sys-
TEN that they are shortly to go owe.
the proposed route in automobiles. This
will probably be done within the two
weeks and quite likely Journal rep
rcsentative will accompany the party
In speaking of this road to the Journa
Mr.. Lynch said.
The rev road from Togus. to War
rem is bound to go. Augusta and all
the other towns are enthusiastic over
the matter. I read the article in last
evenings Journal about the proposed
freight and farm development alont
the electric line and was profoundly
impressed with the idea Mr.. lvers has
indeed worked out a great plan and
it is bound to be success. Every
one of the towns through which the
new. road from Togus to Warren will
pass vii! contribute an immense BUSH
ness when developed as he proposes
We also have several splendid lakes
heavily stocked with trout and salmon
along the proposed line and these are
capable of enormous development as
sporting resorts. Oh yes. the road is
bound to come"

Postum and found it a powerful re-

idea of having to give up my coffee

it to be all the doctor said.
