The first meeting to consider the plan was held by the Pomona Grange at Caribou in December 1890 where Mr. Bureigh presented and explained his plan,
139

which was very favorably received. It was then voted by that body to petition the Legislature for a charter for the new road, also it was voted to ask the State Grange to take action in favor of the charter and of the State granting an enabling act. Edward Wiggin of Maysville who was present was instructed to bring the matter before the State Grange meeting the next week. The ball was really set in motion by this action of the Pomona Grange at Caribou, and was kept roll- ing by all the Aroostook granges, toward an earnest support of the Burleigh railway project.
This route, wholly within the boundaries of Maine, had not been considered in any previous plan that had been proposed, all others having been tied up with Canadian railways and financed largely by Canadian capital. Neither had anyone thought of soliciting County aid before.
All Aroostook became deeply interested in the new plan at once, and no part of it more than Caribou. Mass meetings in every town, petitions and articles in every newspaper published in Aroostook booming the Burleigh movement, followed. No paper boomed it more strongly than the Caribou paper, the Aroostook Republican, whose editor "wielded a trenchant pen".
Franklin W. Cram who had been manager of the New Brunswick Rail Road until the Canadian Pacific Rail Road took over the road-calling it the Atlantic Division-espoused the cause of an all-Maine line for Aroostook. Mr. Cram resigned from the Canadian Pacific, though urged to remain, to fight for the new road, firmly believing in the boundless possibilities of Aroostook.
In March 1891 a charter was granted and an en-
140
EARLY HISTORY OF CARIBOU
abling act, so-called, was passed by the Legislature, by which the people of Aroostook County were author- ized to pledge their credit in aid of the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad to the extent of half a million dol- lars. (How small this amount looks in these billion dollar days! But it was a lot of money fifty odd years ago.)
Following this, a strenuous canvass of the county began, much of the work done by Mr. Burleigh him- self, making journeys often covering long distances by team. Aroostook County subscriptions were supple- mented by subscriptions from the city of Bangor, from business firms in Portland and Boston, from the American Express Company ($200,000) and other wealthy corporations-these latter in a great meas- ure raised by the personal solicitations of Mr. Cram- until the million mark was reached-and more. These two men, Hon. A. A. Burleigh and Franklin W. Cram, ably assisted by all the newspapers of the whole county, to be sure, carried the great work through, Mr. Burleigh pledging his personal fortune to the limit to- wards the end of the campaign, which carried the day and to these men, all Aroostook, both northern and southern, is everlastingly indebted.
To make a long story short, the first regular train of the Bangor and Aroostook railroad steamed into Houlton from Bangor the last week of December 1893 and the first regular train arrived in Caribou one year later, January 1, 1895, a day of great rejoicing in the town. At last after all these years, Caribou had a di- rect line of railroad, an outlet to the outside world. At last its citizens had reached the consummation of all their hopes and desires. Needless to speak here of the

great success of the road through all the after years, and the satisfaction it has always given.
A new era was now rapidly approaching as the long wished for outlet for their freight meant a more rapid movement of their crops. At once there was a great increase in the call for their agricultural prod- ucts, the chief of which being potatoes, then as now. Elbert Hubbard said once long ago in the "Philistine", a little magazine that he published, after a lecturing tour of Aroostook County, "Would you know the se- cret of Aroostook's prosperity ? Pertaters, child, jest pertaters". This is a true word regarding Caribou with its bountiful crops from the splendid farms opened up by the pioneers who have appeared upon these pages, who have "made the wilderness to blossom as the rose".
Just before the arrival of the new railroad, an- other innovation came into existence which was des- tined to have a long life, the first woman's club, organ- ized September 14, 1894 under the name of the "Aurora Literary Club". This was changed after three years to the more sensible name of "Woman's Liter- ary Club" which has been its name ever since.
The first president was Mrs. May Frances Stetson (granddaughter of the pioneer, Winslow Hall) ; the first Vice-President was Mrs. E. P. Grimes; the first Secretary, Mrs. Charles Oak; and first Treasurer, Mrs. John S. Spaulding. These offices were unchanged the second year, and during the third and fourth years the officers were : President, Mrs. Florence Collins Porter ;
142
EARLY HISTORY OF CARIBOU
Vice-President, Mrs. Horace Jones; Secretary, Mrs. W. F. Records; and Treasurer, Mrs. George H. Howe.
In the early years the club members made a com- prehensive study of both American and English his- tory and literature, later taking up other countries, be- sides the current events of the day as time went by. All of these topics showed real desire for study, self- improvement. There were no guest speakers in those days and the members wrote carefully prepared pa- pers for the programs. The social side of club life was not neglected however, and they had, then as now, nu- merous pleasurable affairs.
The first list of members appears in the 1897-98 calendar as follows-a representative group of Cari- bou women of that day.

EARLY HISTORY OF CARIBOU
CARIBOU PUBLIC LIBRARY
One more story must be told before closing, that of the Public Library built in 1911, a date way beyond that set down as the limit of time this book would cover. But it surely must be included as the book was written at the urgent request of Mrs. Hale, then the Public Librarian, and never would have been under- taken but for her. So, indirectly, the Library is re- sponsible for these annals.
Mrs. Hale wrote the following sketch which re- quired considerable research work through nearly six- ty years.
The Caribou Public Library was first organized by the W. C. T. U., February 18, 1887, but no appropri- ation was made by the town for its upkeep until the year 1903 when the amount of $100 was raised for this purpose. Ten dollars was given by the State this same year.
In 1906 the Public Library had acquired 1640 books and had 962 names enrolled as borrowers, with Mrs. Mary E. Luce as Librarian. (It may be interest- ing, just here, to learn that the Library now contains over 17000 volumes.) At this time the books were housed in the rear of the store occupied by Mrs. Luce at the corner of Main Street and Vaughan Avenue.
As the town grew in population, its inhabitants felt the need of a building to be used permanently as a Library. In 1911 a fine lot on High Street was given
1

T
145
EARLY HISTORY OF CARIBOU
to the town by the Nathaniel Bartlett estate to be used for a Public Library lot, funds amounting to $10,000 having been given by Andrew Carnegie for the erection of such a building in Caribou. An additional amount of $1,276,50 was raised through subscriptions and contributions. A building committee consisting of Willis B. Hall, Albert Donworth, Eugene Theriault and Herschel Collins was appointed by the town at their annual meeting.
The corner stone was laid Friday afternoon, Aug- ust 25, 1911. A fine brick building was erected and completed that same year. Sarah Roberts, daughter of Calvin Blake Roberts, (who has been mentioned be- fore as one of the early settlers) was appointed as first librarian in the new building in 1911 and held the office until her death in 1917.
The first board of Library trustees were Willis B. Hall, Fred S. Doyle and Fern Gammon Irvine who served faithfully and well for several years.
At the death of Miss Roberts, Miss Marion Lawson acted as Librarian for the remainder of the year 1917 and a part of 1918 when Mrs. Ada Brittain was ap- pointed Librarian and held this office until September 1942, twenty four years of faithful and intelligent service. During this time the number of books was largely increased, especially the reference works.
(September 1, 1942, Mrs. Lettie F. Hale was ap- pointed to take Mrs. Britton's place. She served most acceptably for almost two years when her health be- gan to fail, obliging her to leave her work, and she soon passed away (deeply mourned by all who knew her).
146
EARLY HISTORY OF CARIBOU
History in ancient times was personified by sculpt- ors as a woman with flowing draperies clasping a scroll to her breast with crossed hands. The scroll of the early history of Caribou is now unrolled giving glimpses of the early settlers in the first half century of the town's existence, as they come and go, coming slowly at first then faster as the years go by. As it unrolls there is seen less of grinding toil and priva- tions, and more of the comforts and conveniences of modern life.
What a long, long look backward it seems, from the Bangor and Aroostook trains of 1895 taking only a day-or a night in a sleeping car-to travel the dis- tance to Boston, back to the pioneer ox-sled of 1845, closed in, with a stovepipe protruding from the roof- taking from four to six weeks to cross the state. Only fifty years from ox-sled to Pullman car; such a vast difference in the "way of life".
A review of the next fifty years-from 1895 to 1945 would show much greater progress than the fifty years preceding. Think of the luxurious trains of to- day, the automobile, the airplanes, airports, radios, dial telephones, motion pictures and, let us not forget, good roads, all of which came to us in this era, revo- lutionizing our lives.
The annals of these busy years should be added by some younger scribe, a lifetime resident of Caribou, then the long story of a century of progress would be complete.
147
EARLY HISTORY OF CARIBOU
Caribou, like all Aroostook, has a great future be- fore it, with the fertility of its soil and the energy of its inhabitants; founded by such people as those who came in the early years, intelligent, ambitious, full of courage and readiness to bear hardships such as those spoken of in the foregoing pages.
The growth of Aroostook in the last hundred years has been wonderful. The progress of the next hundred years will be still more wonderful. Firm foundations have been laid by our pioneers-fine, God-fearing men and women. Beyond doubt, the future generations will carry on even more successfully than the past.
"Long may our land be bright With freedom's holy light."
