Transportation of Immense Value to the Farmer
as Illustrated by Bangor Charleston Road

f. w. Briggs and C. P. Merrill, the
committee chosen to solicit sub
scriptions for the SkowheganA Athens
Railroad in this section have been
actively engaged in the performance
of their duties and are meeting with
good results among the business men
of the community. Good sized con-
tributions have already been made
toward the fund of $4,000 which is
the share Skowhegan is expected to
pledge in order that operations for
building the road may be begun upon.
a prominent Skowhegan citizen was
in Bangor the other day and While
there discussed the Charleston and
Bangor railway with interested par
ties. This road was built about 25
years ago by f. O. Beal of Bangor
and was absorbed by the Graham in
terests or the Bangor Street Railway
in 1907. They began Immediately to
develop the freight possibilities with
the result that the freight business
has been increased approximately
$50 per cent For example, the year
that the property was taken over by
the Bangor Street Railway, eighty
one carloads of potatoes were hauled
over its rails. Each year since then
with the exception of one, business
has showed a steady increase. while
last year over 600 cars of potatoes
alone were hauled and delivered. This
can be aptly applied to show what
might result in a commercial sense
for the proposed line from Skowhe-
gan to Athens and gives an excellent
idea of the increase that is bound to
develop where the farmer has the op-
portunity of securing transportation
for his produce Another incident
which indicates the value of the
Charleston road. and which would eff
feet the agricultursts of our up-riy-
er sections as well, is the increase
in the value of farm lands, which has
been brought about by the road be-
ing built through from Bangor. Be-
fore this road in question existed, a
farm in Charleston was purchased for
5000 Since the railroad has been
built, the owner has been offered
$4,000 for that particular piece of
real estate. On the average at the
present time about fifteen carloads
of farm produce are transported over
this railway daily.

BOUND OVER TO AWAIT
ACTION OF GRAND JURY
Earle Weeks in Municipal Court at
Mondays Regular Session

Earle Weeks, aged IS years, was
before Judge H. H. Brazzell in NUM-
cipal Court Monday charged with
breaking. entering and larceny on
complaint of Abner Currier. 1t was
alleged that the break had been made
in the Currier home during their alb
sence and the money taken from the
dress suit case of Rodney Q. Hamil-
ton, who was staying there at the
time. The attorneys were Judge
Fred f. Lawrence for Weeks and E.
Mrs. Currier in her testimony told of
locking up the house by fastening
both doors and windows prior to her
departure and of finding upon her re-
turn a pane of glass broken. She
afterwards found Weeks working
clothes and it was also determined
that Mr.. Hamilton's money was miss
ing. Weeks, it seems had gone to
the village and later admitted that he
took a sum of money from Mr. Hamil-
tons room, but during his eXamina-
ton Monday denied that he broke
into the house, saying that he took a
ladder and gained admittance into the
room, where he slept, being at that
time in Curriers' employ, and stated
that the window was unfastened. He
had later returned the portion of the
money not spent and enough had been
paid over to Hamilton it was claimed
to satisfy him and he supposed the
case was settled. Weeks stated that
he had been an inmate of the State
School for Boys. but had run away
from the institution more than year
ago. He WAS bound over to await
the action of the Grand Jury and was
placed under bonds for $500 which he
secured An unusual feature of the
case was that the larceny had been
committed several weeks ago

confiagration and the alarm was Civ

rooms and was partially built in 1913,
having been completed during the

WHAT ABOUT A CARLOAD OF MILK FOR
THE MASSACHUSETTS MARKET
Farmers will be Interested in a Proposed Pro-
iect from Somerville Firm

A. r. Jewett, president of the Show
hegan Board of Trade, has been in
formed that efforts are to be made
among the farmers of Skowhegan and
vicinity to procure a large quaint
ity of milk to be shipped daily to the
Boston Market. A. B. Acton, repre-
senting the Acton Milk Co. of Somer-
Vile, Mass. is expected in this town
shortly and will probably according
to present plans be furnished with an
automobile in order, that he may visit
the rural sections in this part of Som
erset County. Mr.. Acton's company
is finding their supply of milk made
quate and consequently he is calling
on the Maine farmers for aid The
plan would seem to be one of great
value to the agriculturists as it gives
them a direct market at a good price,
while II will also be a cash transac-
ton bringing them in ready money
the year round. Mr.. Acton has al
ready been in Waterville and when
first there figured on Newport as the
starting place of the car. but it was
pointed out to him by Hon. Harvey
d. Eaton that Skowhegan with its
great surrounding country which pro-
duces great deal of milk would
doubtless be better than Newport, and
that a car starting from there, and
going over the back road through
Oakland. Belgrade. Winthrop and the
other towns along that line would
easily be filled before it reached Lew
iston. If the arrangements are made
Waterville will be the chief center
and an ice plant and Offices will be
erected there.

Somerset County people are, OF
course, deeply interested in the early
completion of the road from Jackman
to Kineo, distance of thirty-one
miles through Moose River valley.
This. highway is made possible
through an appropriation by the last
Legislature of $22,500O0. This ap-
preparation was made contingent up
on a contribution by the Kineo Hotel
Company of s10,OO0.O0, of payment
of $7,5O0.00 by Somerset County, and
100000 each by the towns of Long
Pond and Jackman. These conting-
ent payments amounting to $23,500.OO
have already been made to the State
Treasury.
The enabling act specified that the
money was to be expended by the
State Highway Commission, and fur
ther stipulated that the right of way
was to given outright by the abut-
ting land holders. The entire loca-
ton has been surveyed during the
past summer, an engineering crew of
fifteen men being thus engaged for
nearly two months, commencing in
July. A working plan based on this
survey has already been made. The
State Highway Commission has auth
orized o. E. Libby, Chairman of the
Somerset Board of County Commits
sioners, to secure the necessary deeds
for the right of way, and Mr.. Libby
is now engaged in that work. 1t is
expected that this will proceed very
rapidly and it is hoped that the deeds
may be secured so that the entire To-
