Cannot some means be devised to raise d fund sufficient to add to the public school building nov owned by tbis school district, 50 as to make it large and eorDmodions enough to accommodate al the school children of our tOwn Our town is growing and pnospering-growing in popula- tion and prosperiDg in business. But our people must not forget that the prosperity of any town which over
 looks tbe educational interests of the children will be short flied There must be 6 commencement made sometime to raise fund to erect . commodious, comfortable and at attractive school building here. Why not make it now while there is a full blush of prosper ity upon us. We have thought that if a proper effort should be now made by the proper persons it would not be hard 70 get subscriptions enough to raise a considerable fund. The merchants Of our town have been e1- ceedingly liberal the past years in paying our cotton producers good prices for the staple. This season the price is up vel, and our cotton buyers are keeping close up to Memphis quotations. The prosper ity of our town Is to 2 certain extent matter of concern to all wbo make 1t their place of market We have therefore thought that if a proper movement were set on foot and every man who sells a bale of cotton here this season were asked to contribute tfife say dollar or even fifty cents, for the purpose of creating z fund to greet handsome public

A Model of New York Harbor.

Mr.. Lewis Ginger has executed mechanical
model OF New York harbor from numerous cuts
furnished by the assistant superintendent of
the United States Coast Survey at Washington,
and the blrds-eye view of Messrs Carrier &,
Ives Of New York, that is fine WORK of art.
The model comprises parts of New York City,
Brooklyn and jersey City, New York, from the
Battery to the City Hall, with Broadway, the
new Post Office, the Tribune Building, Custom
House, the great East River Bridge-as it will
be when ompleted-Brooklyn Heights, the
ferries, docks, Long Island shore adorned with
beautiful villages, the Narrows, all the forts,
the Kilvon-Kull, Robnson's Lighthouse, the
Cunard's Docks, Bedlow's Island, and in fact a
birds-eye view of the entire harbor in space
ten feet square.
BY mechanical process the vessels sail in
real water, and, all considered, the affair is q
perfect piece of workmanship, 1t is SO minute
that although the largest ocean steamship is
represented but inches 10 length, yet every
mast, spar and rope is correctly represented.
Among the floating palaces Represented are the
Canarder algeria" the Inman steamer "City
of Berlin" White Star steamer "Celtic. -
Pacific steamer getty of Pekin," great excur-
sion steamer "Great Republic" and the Sound
steamer Massachusetts," besides other vessels
of all sizes, soma at sea- and others at anchor at
the docks.
This work of art will soon be on exhibition in
this city, and descriptive lecture will be given
in connection wish it. The model is owned by
Messrs. Ginnaiu & Clayton, but Mr.. Lewis
Ginger Is the business manager. Mr.. Ginger is
native of Kentucky, and has been an over
seer at Mr.. Goodalrs Wooden Mills at Sanford,

Chapman VS.. DriscoI,.

We understand that the friends of Mr..
Stanley s. Chapman, the well.known walker,
claim that he has not been fairly treated BY
those who have the 800 mile walk of James M.
Driscoll, now being made 10 Lancaster Hall, in
charge, and that an article published in the
Sunday Sun of last week was calculated to
give wrong impression to thu public The
portion OF the article to which Mr.. Chapman's
friends take exception is the following pars-
graph:
HE (Driscoll) made several minor walks and
In the fall walked with Chapman in tae old
City Hall, the match which was for three DAYS.
but was broken off the secoud day, through
some disagreement"
As may be remembered by our readers
the friends of Chapman claimed that Driscoll
was to blame for the breaking off the walS,
and the referee 80 ruled, and on Chapman's
returning to the track and Dfiscoll's refusing
to do so, Chapman was declared winner cf the
match, and the silver cup which be now holds,
was given to him. The friends Of Chapman
also claim to have received q forfeit from
Driscoll when he was challenged to walk with
ChapmaL and deposited five dollars, and then
declined to carry cut the arrangement 1t is
claimed, therefore, that so far Chapman ia
entitled to rank above Driscoll, and when
Driscoll shall have completed bis present 500
mile walk, Chapman will be ready to meet
and walk With him. 1t is but Just to Driscol
to say that no Portland walker has as vet

THE PATRICK ESTATE.


Our readers will remember our story about
the Patrick estate; how eighty million of dol
lars were awaiting the descendants of the Cor
ham branch of the family and how lawyer had
been here from New York to look the matter
up.
We learn from Mr.. Tristrsm Stevens that the
lawyer appears TO have been-from subsequent
developments-a fraud, and may have been
something worse. 1t appears that he went out
to Mr.. Stevens's cousins and passed the night
ond was Hospitality entertained. The next day
be came in town to Mr.. Stevens's store and had
a talk with him about his family genealogy. Mr..
Stevens could not get the man to say whom he
got his starting point from. The second day
the day the item appeared in the PREss-the
lawyer went to Mr.. Stevenss store, and there a
Portland gentleman came in whose wife was a
Patrick, aud who was DESTROYS of ascertaning
all be could about the matter. He asked so
many questions that the stranger got up, went
out, and evidently left town and has not bseu
seen since.
Since he left some Of Mr.. S;evens's family
have been corresponding with relatives in New
York, and letter from that city says the de.
scripson OF the lawyer corresponds with that
OF man, who 80 years ago, lived in the same
family with the correspondents father He
was called Charles Brsgdon, and was after
wards known as DR.. Bradley, and servei
term for homicide for killing shoemaker
Mr.. Stevens thinks from the lawyers sudden
departure he thought the gentleman detec-
tive, and that his object in coming to Portland
was to get money out of the Patricks ostensibly
to work up their claims to the Patrick estate.

Becker. New Dirccter..

Mr.. s. b. Beckett's new city directory will be
ready for delivery about the middle of next
week aud will be gladly welcomed by those
who are, from the nature of their business,
dependent upon such volume daily.
The new directory contains AL pages, or
about two less than that of 1877. This de-
crease is owing to less advertising matter.
The increase in the number of names is very
slight; probably not over 80. Some ten or
twelve new streets are recorded.
A birds eye view of the city contains, In
four pages, a quantity of interesting historical
matter The total value of exports and i'm
ports for 1878 is given at SIT, 179,2O0, of which
$7,449,932 was imports, and 1929, 29O exports.
The value in 1877 was $2S,083,741.
There are 3S2 vessels now owned in this dis
trict with tonnage Of 1913 553 20. The names
and tonnage of the Dominion, Beaver and CLYDE
lines of steamers are given. An interesting
feature is list of all the privateers fitted out
at this port during the war of 1912, with their
tonnage, number of guns aud commandants.

ing, Cape Elizabeth and the small villages in
the immediate vicinity, whose Inhabitants do

population of the city proper, by census was
4,420 in 1874, 35,031 in 1875, and estimated at
36, 800 in 1879, or no change from that of 1875
Mr.. Beckett does not understand how there
could be falling off so great as is given in the
census of school children, between 4 and 81
years of age. in 1877. That year the census
gave 95S1, while in 1876 it was over thousand
more. In 1867 the census gave Il, 452.
The real estate of Portland was valued at
$40 800 for 1878, or an increase of $145,60O
The personal was placed at Sill ,458, 354, a de-
crease of 1861, 291. There were 1854. polls, or
lightweight less thsn in 1877. The polltsx
was $780, The city s income was about $4,000
which, added to S774, 1852 80, brought the sum
needed for city expenses up to $780,, SO6 AZ.
There is very complete list of all the cor
poratiops. societies, both literary, charitable
musical. etc., consuls at this port, and in fact
great mass of valuable intelligence.
Previous to 1850, for thirty years the temper

tory at sunrise, noon and sunset, averaged 400.
In 1877 1t was. 1910. In 1878, 500. In other
words the temperature of Portland has grown
nine degrees warmer than thirty years ago in
the winter months.
There are Ill Smiths, 81 Dyers, 81 Libbys, 80
Browns, 65 Clarks, 81 Robinsons aud 81 Jones
recorded. There are large number of Muir
phys an Murrays.
