The Lewiston journal understands s'that
the assessors of Lewiston find the number of
polls Unexpectedly larger this spring, indi-
eating that the increase Of population the
last year has been greater than usually esti-
mated. Our population is near II, 500, and
that Of Auburn about s,00O-carrying the
population of our citizens up to not far from
5000. The plans now fully ma:ured will
add 10, COO spindles TO our mills this season,
which will draw in an additional five thous-
and population by the time the new machn-
cry is started. se
The Lewiston Journal learns that work
will be commenced Immediately on an en-
largement of the Bates Mills, which will give
room for 5000 to 10000 additional spindles
This increase is obtained by adding new
stories to the mills near the railroad track,
the plans of which are not fully completed
