The total length of these railroad systems in Maine, 1892, including horse railroads in Portland, Auburn, Lewiston and Waterville, was 1,210.03 miles. In 1888, 127 miles of railroad were built in Maine, which was more than was built in any other New England State. Projected railroads, giving direct communication with the Northern county of Aroostook, and along the shore line through Eastern Maine, when completed, will round out the systems in the Southern portion of the State
There remains the great northern wilderness, so long lying unimproved, a forest land full of great resources and capabili- ties. These are now to be developed by a line of railway con- structed through that portion of the State by a foreign corpo- tion. The Canadian Pacific Railway, extending from the Pacific shore across the continent, makes a short cut through Northern Maine to its objective point at Halifax, thus opening a direct

line from Yokohama to Liverpool, by the shortest, quickest, and cheapest route. It is destined to work a revolution in the route of trade between Australia, Japan and China, and England, Germany, France and the North Sea countries.
In passing through the undeveloped portion of Maine it not only opens up the grandest scenery, at many points wild and picturesque, develops industries and gives access to new agri- cultural regions, but suggests great possibilities in the way of extending the western trade of Portland and other ports having safe and capacious harbors on the coast of Maine, to which access will be had by connecting lines.
The little village of Brownville, in Piscataquis county, has become the headquarters of the Eastern division of the line and is destined to become an important center of operations. One hundred and forty-five miles of this road run through Maine and it is thoroughly built, having all steel rails.
PLEASURE TRAVEL.
These railroad systems, by through trains, designed for pleas- ure travel, give ready access from the great sea-coast cities and the far West to the lakes, the seaside resorts and the waters of the pure, health giving springs of Maine, which constitutes one of the great natural resources of the State. These, together with the bold scenery of the coast and the lake regions attract an ever increasing multitude of summer visitors whose expen- ditures add largely to the revenues of the people.
In the spring sportsmen find salmon fishing on the Penobscot and excellent trout fishing in the Rangeley and Moosehead lakes, with good accommodations in the camps and hotels upon their shores. As the hot weather comes on the pent-up deni- zens of the great cities of the Middle and Western States flock to the breezy seaside retreats of Maine, which have come to be considered " the summer playground of America."
At Portland they find a center of pleasure travel, combining all the advantages of city and seaside life. Casco Bay, a beau- tiful land-locked sheet of water, with its one hundred and fifty wooded islands, dotted with summer cottages and hotels, made acces-ible by numerous pleasure steamers, is close at hand. Old Orchard, with the finest bathing beach in America, is but twelve miles distant. Poland Spring, with its health-giving waters, is within easy access by rail. The White Hills of New Hamp-

shire, reached by rail through one of the wildest mountain passes, are but three or four hours away, while all the eastern resorts, including Bar Harbor, by fast trains are brought within easy reach. The city itself has an elevated site, commanding magnificent views of ocean and mountain scenery, is supplied with pure water from Lake Sebago, and is well-equipped with hotels offering the attractions of a summer home.
Within the past twenty years the pleasure travel, attracted by the cool breezes and grand scenery of Maine's rugged and bay-indented coast, has built up numerous seaside resorts where wealth has lavished itself upon its summer homes. From its solitary hotel Old Orchard has grown into a separate town, crowded with hotels and summer cottages, and populous with pleasure seekers in the season. Bar Harbor, which in 1866 had but one poor tavern, has become a pleasure city magnificent in its hotels and its luxurious summer homes. The whole coast, in all its indentations, from Kittery to Eastport, and its outly- ing islands, is seized upon by capitalists eager to take advantage of the rise in land and to provide attractive resorts for the in- coming multitude.
SUMMARY.
With these natural resources and their related industries the people of Maine have reason to be content with their lot. They have behind them a history of successful endeavor. Their cli- mate gives them health and vigor. Their rugged soil compels to thrift and industry, which ever bring their reward. Their laws and customs tend to sobriety and uprightness of conduct. The hardships of a new land, still existing in the West, to which so many of them have been enticed, are past and gone, and they have now the benefit of long-established churches, schools, colleges, hospitals, literary, social and benevolent in- stitutions which ameliorate, adorn and elevate the life of a peo- ple.
