THE PREsUMpscoT WATER PowER-Mr. J.
F. Quinby, who holds a bond for the sale of
the canal and proposed water power at the
mouth of the Presumpscot, in his published
circular, says that to purchase the property and
privileges named, fund of $4,000 is needed.
To improve them with wharves and CONNER
cial appointments, S300,O more is needed. He
says:
1t is generally known in the communities 1
address, that l hold absol ute bonds from the
owners for the purchase and control of the
whole water-power and needful privileges for
its improvement, act of Incorporation and un-
finished works of the Presumpscot Water
Power Company, and its legislative franchises;
and that these embody the entire volume of
the Presumpscot river, and about thirteen feet
of its fall into the harbor of Portland. This
power is easily rendered available for 400, 900
spindles-and experience demonstrates, that
each power of 100000 spindles will add work
ing population of 10000 to the locality. Then
the improvement of this power contemplate
ed, would add and sustain manufacturing and
kindred population of 10000 to the population
of Portland and its suburban sister towns, be-
sides the immense growth that would engraft
itself upon these in other manufacturing and
commercial industries. 1t is not, in fact, ex-
travagant to say, that this enterprise, energeti-
caly executed, would in very few years carry
up the population of Portland, Deering and
Falmouth to more than 100, 900 souls, while now
it is less than 900.
Nearly three-quarters of the needed excava-
tions for the canal is CO mpleted. The real es-
tate embraces about 100 acres of land. The at
tention of capitalists and practical manufactur-
ers is invited to this property 1t is capable of
returning immense wealth to men of intelli-
gence and enterprise.
