the Waterville Bangor hichwav.
Main street south is a part of the

Waterville Portland highway
through the Belgrade Lakes and
Lewiston; Main street north is a
part of the State highway to Quebec
via Skowhegan and Jackman.
The out-of-State tourist enters the
state and naturally goes through the
city of Portland. If he goes to Ban
gor or Bar Harbor he will either take
the coast route through Rockland or
the direct route through Waterville,

Northern Maine but before he ar

Waterville has been called the
Heart of the Lake Region" but il
can be truly called the Heart of

Of more Maine points than any other
city: Also Watervlile is a big rail-
road junction. Over the iron rails
one can 90 to almost every place
reached by the auto. One can 60 to
, Portland by the same two routes. one
through Augusta. and the other
through Lewiston. Going the other
way the rails lead to Bangor Eastern
Maine and the Maritime provinces
Still another way the trains go to
Moosehead lake and the hunting re-
gions.
On account of Watervlles central
location and the various travel ia
cilities the efforts of the citizens
turn toward making Waterville the
convention city of the State. Sew
eral weeks ago the first active steps
were taken toward such an end
! when the Chamber of Commerce pur-
| chased the Eagles home on Temple
street. This is enc of the finest and
most central sites in the city for a
public building which will be erected
here. at some future date.
