Waterville is apparently not the only
place where the contractors on road work
have a hard time to keep people from
driving over the uncompleted work. In
Bangor they are doing the best possible
to keep open q strip Of road so that the
machines can be driven through it, but
the conditions are bad and signs are up
warning the autoists that they should
proceed slowly, yet according to the
Bangor News. machine after machine
tears through 1t at Is miles an hour or
better and on Tuesday when it was
blocked for few minutes q driver came
through and refused to stop until finally
his wheels went into a hole he could not
get out Of and he had to stop. The peo-
pie are just the same in Waterville. al
though the contractor Is doing all that
he possibly can to keep place for autos
and teams yet there is not q day but
what some bull-headed driver persists In
going over some Of the work. One Of the
men who Is engaged on the work here de-
clared that this was the worst city IN
that respect that he had worked In for
the eight years he has been with the
company. But according to the News
they are about as bad in Bangor.

A man who evidently was not an ex-
pert automobile driver furnished little
excitement on Silver street Wednesday
afternoon. He had driven his car out
of the Morrison Motor Company store
and brought it to a stop in the middle Of
the street. then he did something, and
the next minute the car went forward
with a rush. going into the unoccupied
store In the Clukey block which had
formerly been run as a tobacco store by
the late r. H. Union. The car struck
the door fairly and went straight through
into the store. without doing any dam
age to amount to anything as the doors
opened just wide enough to admit It. 1t
was then backed out and the man after
little time was able to get started away.
Luckily no one happened to be on the
sidewalk just there at the time. If they
had been 1t would have been impossible
for them to have gotten out of the way.

man with a megaphone had been up
the street informing the people that
Co. H would not be in before o'clock,
the sidewalks were lined with people
and the Maine Central station platform
was crowded and many automobiles
were In the square.
The first excitement for the people at
the station came when train No. II from
the west came in. bringing several men,
bers Of the headquarters staff, who had
been released from their duties. xol-
lowing No. II and running as a second
section came the troop train carrying
the companies from the eastern part OF
the State. The boys in this train were
given an enthusiastic reception by the
people who had gathered at the station.
This train had just pulled out when the
10 blasts on the fire whistle announced
that Company H had left Augusta. With
in few minutes the people who had been
waiting for the signal began to come
and the big square in front of the sta
ton and the streets along the line Of
march were quickly packed with people.
while hundreds Of teams and automobiles
began to arrive, each carrying it's quota
of people.
When the train pulled into the station,
the shouts of the people and the din
of the automobile horns was almost deaf
ening. The cheering continued while the
boys left the train and formed in line
for the march. 1t was one continuous
ovation from the time they left the train
until their arrival at the armory, and
hundreds of friends waited about the
armory until the boys had put on civilian
clothes for the first time for four months,
ready to take up their places in the city
again.
