Colby of Bingham Finds 1t Busy
Job.

If anybody tells you it is cinch to
travel about in Somerset county,
don't believe it. If you want proof of
this, just follow out the program
which Representative Colby of Bing
ham had to go through last week,
Business called him TO Jackman. in
the very northern portion of the
county, on Saturday, Feb. II. He had
to be at home in Bingham on Monday
and back here on Tuesday.
Jackman is on the Canadian Pacific
railroad, which crosses the 'Somerse1
railroad near the last-named road s
Moosehead lake terminus.
That sounds perhaps as though il
would be easy for Mr. Colby to get
home decently early on Monday
In order to do it. he had to get up
at 2.30 Monday morning. drive mile
to the railroad station and then ride
away down to Greenville junction,
transfer to the Moosehead lake divi-
sion of the Bangor & Aroostook and
travel down to Foxcroft. where he
again transferred to the Maine Cen
tral and went to Newport Junction,
reaching that station at o'clock,
took the west bound train and came
on to Waterville, where he again
changed and went out to Oakland.
At Oakland he got Somerset rail-
way train and reached Bingham about
Il o'clock.
