Trucks and Highways

(BiddefOrd JournaD
Truck service is rapidly becoming
a big factor in good roads cam.
paigns. This has been developed far
enough to prove that it can be made
a very important auxiliary to the
railroads. Not much Of it has been
seen in Maine as vet, probably on
account Of the poor roads, but in
other sections the big cars hauling
freight and express long distances
are common sight.-Waterville
Sentinel.
This same truck service, however
introduces a factor in the good roads
problem that cannot be ignored. Par
ticularly is this true on improved
country roads that have been built
without any particular thought for
anything except the ordinary traffic
OF the region. In western Maine,
where the lumber from scores of
portable sawmills is being transport
ed by truck, this factor Is particu-
larly prominent. Miles and miles of
good reads, that would have with
stood ordinary traffic for years, have
been cut Up by these heavily-loaded
trucks and are now in worse condi-
ton than they were before they were
improved" knowing what they do
to the roads. there should be some
regulation limiting the weight Of the
loads OF such trucks, or their own
ers should be held responsible for
the damage they do over and above
reasonable wear and tear.

Editorial Comment
Aerial Mail in Maine
portland ExpresS)

NICIliduO I|APiSSSP
Aviator Harry NJ. Jones. OF oid
Orchard, gave a very definite example
Of the feasibility of operating aerial
mail routes in Maine in his flight to
Augusta. and return, from this City,
yesterday. Mr.. Jones is a conserVa-
tive f1ier. man who has made Ma
tional record for his skill in navigat-
ing an airp.ane and for his absolute
refusal to take daredevil chances.
His trip to Augusta yesterday was
made without any attempt to break
record but simply to show just what
time could be made between the two
points by airplane as against the
regular schedules Of trains He easily
proved that he could journey to Au-
gusta in less than an hour while the
train takes twice that time.
Portland and Maine are about due
for aerial mail. This should be from
Boston to Portland, where great
quantities Of important matter could
be speeded up between these two
leading centers. From here the rush
mail for points beyond could be
FASTENED onto trains and a vast
amount Of time saved in getting i'm
portant letters to places in the inte-
rior Of the State. Possibly it might
be wise to continue the Service from
Portland to Bangor for the benefit
Of that section of the State, and for
Aroostook and Eastern counties.
Short jumps are not wholly success
full in aerial mail and it is the long
leap through the air which tells and
which cuts down the time Of the mail
service. An airplane leaving Boston
could make Portland in a hour and
one-half, and Bangor in three hours
and one-half where trains require
from seven to eight hours.
1t is to be hoped that the Post Of
flee Department will take full rec
ognition Of Aviator Jones' achiev-
ment and grant this State an aerial
mail route at the earliest opportunity
