The Water Question.

MR.. EDITOR: Much is being written, aud
more said, in reference to the ''water famine
without touching the real source of the trouble
Why not face the matter squarely now? The
supply of water, even to city no larger than
ours at present, is matter of vital and con-
stantly increasing importance. The present
temporary piping has been demonstrated to
general satisfaction as entirely inadequate to
meet the wants even of to-day; is there any ex-
pectation that they will do SO in the future?
Certainly before long as our city increases,
works of a permanent character, of sufficient
capacity, engineered with some slight regard
to source, country passed over and req uire-
ments OF the city, present and prospective,
must be built. 1t is to. be hoped these pres
emit works will last long enough to see an
aqueduct completed in which the citizens can
feel confidence.
Sebago, with surface head of 100 feet above
the highest lands in the city offers population
of a million with every faucet open day and
night summer and winter all the water their
service pipes can deliver. The city of Portland
has PROFESSIONALLY the best natural source for
water of any city in the country.
After works of a reasonably permanent char
acter and capacity have been constructed, the
cost of maintenance is trfiing (the water be-
ing the gift of Providence) the question could
never then ariGe how much any "taker'' should
use.
If the present rates paid by our citizens
amount to 100000, as said, that amount would
pay fair interest on such works as outlined
above.
There are more serious questions for the con-
sideration of our people than whether "a, -
3d." OR co. living on the Hills, should have
what they pay for, or that all should pay $40,
where the contract entered into was for 81;
these sink into insignifc ,nce in comparison
with the question whether we are not in dan
ger of more serious famine than that of to-
day by the wreck of the cement piping.
How many feet below the low water level Of
Sebago is the mouth of the pipe-n other
words, how large reservoir is afforded at the
lake, and how are surface impurities guarded
against?
In event of large fire what amount Of
water could be depended upon?
Would our steamers be supplied for two
hours?
Permanently quantity, and purity, it is re-
spectfully submitted, are the questions for dis
cussion tC day. 3D."

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
COOKED
CORNED BEEF

Articles are being published calculated
to prejudice the public against using
Cooked COrned Beef, and we would say
in answer to them that In no instance has
positive proof been established to show
that such is the case.
Our GOODS are packed in q manner very
similar to that of Corn, Tomatoes. Fruit
and canned goods generally. (which have
long been tested) and we use nothing
whatever of poisonous nature in their
preparation.
In addition to our own statement we
have ihe strong endorsement of Prof.
HOsford Of Cambridge, one of the most
eminent Chemists in the country, who
has fully tested and is familiar with the
entire details of the preparation of our
goods.
We would also state that we use none
but the choicest qualities of Beef
that cur Chicago market affords, and
trust that with these statements the rap
idly growing popularity of our COrned
Beef may be Increased.
For the information of those not know
ing the fact we would state that i'm the
process Of canning there is liability of
imperfect sealing, which causes the can
to expand. Meat contained in such cans
is unfit for use and will be cheerfully
paid for when returned to any grocer
selling it.

MAINE Politics. New York Times cores

MAINE PoLITIcs.-A New York Times cores
pondent in taking survey of the political
field in Maine, writes of the First District:
In the First or Portland District, which Is
composed OF the counties of Cumberland and
York. there have been signs of trouble since
the nomination, owing to local feeling, bus
these are disappearing. In the Convention on
the 29th of June Hon. T. b lR 3ed, of Portland,
was nominal ID by decisive majority over the
present incumbent Hon. John I'll. Burlelgh.
convention by some of the York county dele
gates, who claimed that their county ought to
have been allowed to name the Representative.
The matter was fully debated and all the argu-
ments courteousy listened to, and the conven-
ton decided to nominate without reference to
county lines. Sir ce that time there has been q
meeting of some of those who felt aggrieved
by the action of the convention, and an effort
made to call new convention, but time and
mature reflection are producing their natural
effect upon the gentlemen who attended this
meeting, and very many are already feeling
that they have too deep an interest IN the
Republican Patty to allow their resentments to
make them cats'-paws to Democrats who see
hopes of advantage in any dssensiOn which
may arise. Further consideration of their own
claims, on their own ground, shows it to be
untenable, for York county, with a population
only four-ffths that of Cumberland, and with a
valuation of less than one-half, has had five
out of ten of the nominations that previous to
this one have been made since the founding of
the Republican Party. So this cloud is likely
to blow over, although the Democrats will en-
deavor to ferment it and profit by it, and for
that purpose will select some York county man
as their nominee.

A NEW MINERAL SPRING.-The Old Orch
ard mineral spring which has been brought to
the notice of the public, promises to be very
valuable piece of property. 1t is situated about
one and three-quarters miles from Old Orchard
and is quite near the Slate Mining Company's
works. The water of this spring bubbles up
from one of the many iron and sulphur slate
lodges found in that vicinity. The water is
exceeding cold, indicating that it comes from
great depth. The flow of water is rather small,
consequently it is more highly charged with
mineral Ingredients, sulphur in the form of
sulphuretted hydrogen being especially promi-
nent as welas carbonic acid, sulphates and
carbonates of iron, lime, sodium, potassium,
silica, etc. The State Assayer, MIR. f. L.
Bartlett, says the water contains many medi-
cinal qualities.

leading citizens of Gray, died Sunday. He
was a prominent member Of the Methodist
