subject Of no small amount of conjec-

weeks ago the wagon was not so much
in evidence. but now that the water has
zone down to the summer level the
wagon has been more noticeable. All
kinds Of theories have been advanced as
to how the vehicle came to be there,
popular one being that 1t was brought
down from up river by the spring

said. the presence Of the wagon amid
such unusual surroundings is the result

1t is very light here until about II at
night and then it isn't really dark;
light early in the morning also. 1t
seems very strange to attempt to sleep
with the sun shining upon one. The
country is the prettiest I've ever seen
and the air is some tonic.
Guess there is some fishing here, but
very difficult to obtain. 1t is hard to
obtain the privilege from the land own
ers who control the fishing rights here

bad.

mends that all automobile traffic between
Portland, Poland Springs and southern

the vicinity of North Conway, Crawford
Notch and Breton Woods, travel by the
following route: Portland, North Wind

White Mountain resorts. Parties coming
from the White Mountains to Portland
and the Maine Coast should reverse this

to the left and continue to Brdgton,
which is only ore mile away. Traffic for
Harrison should follow this same route
