hardly be reckoned rs parallelling. The
proposed route of the road is prac-
tically covered by an old survey, which
was made for the building of the Ban
cor & Aroostook Railroad when there
was no steam road into Northern
Maine except through Provincial
points.
II is understood that if charter was
granted by the Legislature track sur
veys would be made in the spring or
summer and the work of construction
pushed rapidly forward. The promoters
says that this road will be one of the
easiest roads to construct In Maine
and Will cost as little per mile to build
as any standard guage road in the
state as there are no wide rivers to be
crossed and no mountainous country
in the proposed route. The land is
practically level during the greater
part of the way and what hills there
are take the form of "horsebacks" or
gravel beds.
Great future railroad development
for Aroostook is predicted by some of
the legislators from that section, who
see at no far distant day time when
there will be a system of electric
foads In Aroostook to handle agricul-
turai freight as we'll as passenger busi-
ness in that rapidly developing section
of the country.

HELD BY STARK co. TEACHERS

Superintendent Mary Nolan will con-
duct her first teachers examination on
the 10th and nth of March, the same to
be held in the 9Th grade room OF the
Dickinson public building.
From present indications the atten-
dance will be very large, as Miss Nolan
finds. much to her surprise, that there
are some so teachers at the present time
in the county teaching under permits.
A permit is only intended to legalize a
teachers work up to a regular exami-
nation period and is not supposed to be
renewed for a second quarterly period.
A third and fourth permit is out of the
question. although some teachers have
apparently been teaching without
certificates for q year.
:, A fee of So. 90 each has been charged
for permits and it appears as though the
business had been quite remunerative.
Superintendent Mary Nolan will see
that these Irregularities are corrected,
as it is her intentionto follow the letter
of the law, and thereby do her part to-
ward raising the standard of educational
examinations in Stark county.
