MENco, Feb. 2O-A word from the val
ley Of the Androscosgin may be OF interest
to some OF the readers Of your excellent
paper Mexico i situated on the left bank
OF the AndroScoggin. about - miles above
Lewiston, in oxford County. II has
population OF about 500. at the present
time; mostly engaged in farming, although
there are some manufacturers, especially Of
lumber. The only tooth-pick factory in
New England is situated in this town near
the line between Dixheld aud Mexico.
This and the nelghboring towns have
been greatly interested, and were engaged
in the culture of hops, until year or so
since. when the poor price paid for that
product caused q large part OF our farmers
TO plow up their yards, and sow them 10
wheat. the result Of which is large in
grease o. our wheat crop. Many, how
ever, have very much regretted their action
in - doing, a. hops are bringing n good
price in the markets al the present time.
We are very Eavorably situated for man.
ufacturing enterprises; several minor riv-
erS falling into the AndroScoggiu near and
about this point. with good head OF
water, but as we are several miles from
any railroad, our water privileges have not
been generally utilized. Two miles above
Us Is the celebrated Rumford Falls, where
the AndroScoggin falls from perpendicu-
lar height Of nearly so feet upon the rocks
and bOulders beneath. This is the greatest
waterfall in Maine or in New England,
and its roar may be heard for many miles
either way. Twenty-Five or thirty years
ago, this section was the sranary of Ok
4 ford County hut the soil has been Slapped
/ by hops and other crops, so that ii yields
grudgingly any OF its former products.
SWIM River empties into the great river
at this point. A large number of logs an
nually are driven down this river for the
Lewiston Steam Mil Company" They
are cut mostly near the shores Of the Rich
ardson, or Gooselucmaguntic Lake and
taken 20 the east and west branches Of the
Swim River, and in spring hoated into the
AndroscOggin.
The Rumford Falls and Buckiield II. r.,
which now has its terminus at Canton,
/ twelve miles below here is laid out W
this river valley, but II will not probably be
built for years, if ever, to the Falls. The
only thing that would cause its completion
TO Rumford would be the building Of some
kind of mills at that place. The water
privilege there Is said 10 be superior to
that at Lewiston. \. w. SMITH.

Mr. Editor Allow me TO correct an
item which l saw in a recent number Of
your Daily respecting the aiIih place Of
Abel Goss who Was recently run over and
killed in Boston. The item states that he
was born in Norway. Abiel Goss refer red
to was the son of Samuel and Lucretia
Howe Goss, who came from Bolton,
Mass, and settled in Rumford, and was
among the pioneer settlers Of that town.
His two sons, Thomas and Abel were
horn in Rnmford. Samuel Goss was the
son of Rev. Thomas Goss who graduated
at Harvard College In 1897, and was the
able and somewhat eccentric minister OF
