BETTER TRAIN SERVICE NEEDED.

Our mail and passenger facilities by rail
have long been unsatisfactory and the remedy
is so simple that it would seem to be only nee
essary to call the attention of the Maine Gem
tral officials to the matter to have it applied.
It would involve no change on the main line
except to have train stop at Burnham, and
the change of one of the local trains. As it is
passengers and mails leaving Portland on the
same train arrive at Bucksport and Searsport
before they do at Belfast, yet travel much
longer distance.
Passengers leaving Boston on train 90 at 8 a.
m. arrive at Burnham at 2.03 p. M, and have
to wait there until 4.50 p M, when the train
leaves for Belfast. Passengers by this train
who cont inue on to Northern Maine Junction
arrive at Bucksport and Searsport at 5.45. 1t
is 20 minutes later when passengers and mail
arrive at Belfast.
Train II leaves Boston at 9 a. M, Portland at
1910 p. M, Watervile at 3.15 and passes Burn
ham without stopping at $40. Passengers for
Belfast must leave the train at Waterville and
wait there an hour for the local train which
leaves Portland at 1856 and arrives at Burn
ham at AS. If train II stopped at Burnham,
the train which now leaves there at 45O for
Belfast could leave there at 3.45, and arrive
here at 5 p m. instead of sos as at present.
The Flying Yankee leaves Bangor at /. As for
Boston and does not stop at Burnham. If it
did our train could leave Belfast at 13O D. m.
instead of 1915 as now, and passengers could
60 right through to Boston, and would arrive
at Portland only 20 minutes later than the
earlier local train. Under this arrangement
people who come to Belfast would have more
time in which to do business and would be able
to get dinner before leaving. 1t would also
give more time to answer business letters re-
ceived by the morning train.
Whether the changes as here suggested are
feasible is for the railway officials to say; but
there is certainly demand for Improvement
in the present service.

The meeting of Waldo County Pomona
Grange. assigned for April 18th at Silver Har-
vest Grange Hall, was not held until April 2lst

ent was in the best of spirits and very en-
joyable session was held. This was the gener-
al expression The meeting was presided over

the host grange. When the grange was again
called to order fine address of welcome, pre-
pared by Alma Cilley, was read by her hus-
band, as she was unable to be present on ac-
count of poor health. Lester Wilson gave a
fine response and caused quite lot of merri
ment by his witty sayings. The topic, what
can the grange do to improve existing methods
of agriculture that we may produce more
and buy less?" was opened by D. o. Bower, fol-
lowed by C. A. Levanseller, Samuel Phinney,
