in July, 1865, 200 miles built in 1866, 240
miles in 1867, including the ascent of the
first range OF mountains and from April 1,
1868 to May 10, 1869, $50 miles Of road
were built. That morning the last spike
was driven.
Gold Spike in Museum.
The connecting tie was of California
laurel, and California presented the last
spike made of gold in behalf of the State.
A silver sledge had also been presented
for the occasion. The gold spike and
sledge are now in the museum at Leland
Stanford Jr, University at Palo Alto,
Pacific and Atlantic United.
The driving of the last spike was the
announcement of the uniting of the At
lantic and the Pacific. Telegraphic wires
were so connected that each blow of the
descending sledge could be reported in
stantly to all parts of the United States.
Corresponding blows were struck on the
, bell of the city hall in San Francisco and
with the last blow of the sledge cannon
was fired at Fort Point.
In San Francisco the booming of can
mons and the ringing OF bells were united
with other species of noise through which
jubilant humanity finds expression for its
feelings on such occasions. The buildings
of the city were gay with flags and bunt-
ing. Business was suspended and the
longest procession that San Francisco had
ever seen attested the enthusiasm of the
people. At night the city was brilliant
with illumination. The same enthusiasm
was shown in other cities. Free railway
trains filled Sacramento At Omaha the
firing of hundred guns, more bells and
steam whistles and grand procession of
fire companies, civic societies. citizens
and visiting delegations echoed the senti-
ments of California.
In Chicago there was procession of
four miles in length, lavish display of
decorations both in the city and on the
vessels in the river.
In New York, by order of the mayor, a
salute of a hundred guns announced the
elimination of the great undertaking.
| The ringing of bells on independence hall
and the fire station in Philadelphia pro-
duced an unusual concourse of citizens to
| celebrate the national event.
In other large cities of the country the
, expression of public qualification was
hardly less hearty and demonstrative.
San Francisco was happy. The Union

, was at last connected with the eastern
world,

time table in hand, leaves the station at

a little less than 100 hours The first
voyagers from Belfast, Maine who round

Sulote, bark of 263 tons, built by Asa
Faunce and others of that place.
Upon January 30, l8i9, the Sulote, in
command of Captain Josiah Simpson,
sailed from Belfast for San Francisco.
Besides the crew she had so passengers

five merchants, four farmers, three sur

artist, one printer, one dentist, one apoth-
ecary, one halter, one lawyer, and three
having no stated occupations, who desig-
mated themselves gentlemen An idea of
the miscellaneous character of her cargo
may be formed from the fact her mani
fest was over nine feet in length.
Many of the passengers had forethought
enough to provide small frame buildings

investments,

Good News for Maine.

Arthur Train of New York, who has re-
Gently visited Bar Harbor to oversee the
construction of his new summer home, is
most enthusiastic over the prospects for
Bar Harbor's 1917 season. Mr.. Train
stated that, in his judgment, many more
people than usual were coming here this
season and that he looked for one of the
best seasons the resort has ever known.
Mr.. Trains judgment in this matter
carries much weight. Not only have the
Trains been coming to Bar Harbor for
many years, but Mr.. Train is constantly
in touch with Bar Harbor people in New
York and is in a position to know the
plans of many people.
