An Interesting Comparison

In view of the fact that an electric
road is likely to be built from Show
hogan to Athens. other trolley lines
similarly situated become of interest
to Somerset County people. The line
which perhaps was built under con-
ditions most resembling our proposed
road is that now in operation from
Bangor to Charleston, distance OF
about "a miles. A representative oil
our paper passed day recently inter
viewing people along the line of the
Bangor-Charleston road. He took
particular pains to see those who
lived ten miles from the nearest troll
ley point as well as those whose doors
the road passed. In asking the prop
erty owners how much they had been
benefited by the road, no reply OF
less than SO per cent was received and
1t was common to hear a man say, 81
consider that the value of my farm
was doubled by the building of this
line" Careful questioning as to the
transportation rates for hauling hay
potatoes, apples, wood. ETC., to Bangor
did not emphasize a remarkable saw
ing over former costs although full
er investigation would probably have
brought more to light In this respect
None of the parties interviewed how
ever, complained in the least about
the rates. They were cheaper than
trucking and all regarded the ability
to do more business and at greater
convenience as the principal thing to
be considered any way. One man
remarked. why, befora we didn't
seem to be living anywhere. Now we
feel as If we were a real part OF the
rest of the world"
Even a hasty trip through the Ken
duskeag Valley would establish be-
yond controversy that a wonderful de-
velopment had resulted from the
building of the Bangor Charleston
trolley line. One thing perhaps not
to be looked for was especially notice
able: The carriage road was in
magnificent shape for nearly the en-
tire distance and it was plain to be
seen that it had been rebuilt since
the locating of the trolley. This is
important because it is sometimes
feared that interest in highway i'm
provements might lag where trolley
line convenences are established and
this does not seem to be the case.

ute class was won by Tarrantine. the
bay gelding belonging to r. W. Burrill
of Bangor and the 2.18 class by Jack
Parker, the bay gelding of Cone &
Grove of Calais in three straight
heats. On the racing program for
Friday Jack Parker, the Calais horse
again won in the PIG class. The
222 and 2.25 were called off after the
third heat on account of the lateness
of the hour. In the 2.22 class Asa
Grant. driver of McEwen, was thrown
and sustained injuries. and jeff Pal
mer. driver of Miss Peter Bell, was
thrown at the same time-at the be-
ginning of the heat. The latter horse
made and won the heat without a
driver but was put out because of
being without its driver.
Saturday the completion of the 222
class and 225 class gave the honors
to Kohl Macbeth (R. w. BurrilD in
the 222 class and Eugene Gone &

A N altogether charming bridal gown,
"A following no special dictates of
the present mode and independent of
some traditions, is shown here. 1t is
fashioned to suit the bride along con
sentative lines which cannot be said
to belong to this or that date, but is
in good style
This handsome costume is rather
simple in design, with trained skirt of
heavy white satin cut plain and fol-
lowing vaguely the contour of the fig
ure. 1t hangs from the normal waist
line and glories in an ample train of
the rich and shimmering fabric. A
full underbodice of chiffon makes the
loveliest of foundations for the sim
pie bodice of lace draped over it. The
lace is shirred into slight fullness at
the shoulder seams and the bodice
closes surplice-fashion at the front,
This arrangement makes a "V"-shaped
opening at the back as we'll as at the
throat. which is outlined with soft
folds of tulle,

halfway to the elbow on the upper
arm, falling somewhat lower at the
underarm. The lace of the bodice is
repeated in IN overdrapery. Parting
at the waist line in front it slopes to
ward the back where it falls about
half the length of the figure.
There is a long tulle veil, falling
from under a very up-to-date cap OF
point lace. This is a novel method fol-
placing the bridal veil, and gives the
bride an opportunity to indulge in
that ancient superstition which at
tributes good luck to her who wears
something that has been worn before
The little cap may be made of old lace
It is shaped on a foundation of fine
silk-covered wire.
The arms are almost covered BY
long kid gloves. A regulation bouquet
of brides roses and lilies of the val
ley and a strand of pearls about the
neck are concessions to customs thai
cannot be improved upon in the raj
ment of the bride.
