commission is asked to permit the
change in the running time OF the aft

that the Maine central is willing TO
maEe this change. provided the Public

The people here almost universally de-
..re the change back to the former

ISIS in Dover and FoXcro1t. The de-
patture of the afternoon train at 80

and the furtherance OF the object Of
the organization Of the State OF Maine
and Industrial League
was clearly shown in the meeting Of
the larger part of the officers Of this
league and n number Of representa- :
tive men Of kennehec valley. which
was held Thursday afternoon at the
Augusta House, at which the Maine
League invited the kennehec valley
men to organize in accordance with
the purpose of the league and the men
assured the league that every possible
effort would be expended for such a
result. That all present We're not in
harmony with the general idea of the
organization was manifested by OBJ
jections placed by some Of the speak
ers but il was most apparent that
these hindcrances were largely raised
through a not clear conception OF the
workings of the league.
