a VALUABLE IMPROVEMENT.
A Large Lumber Kiln to be Erected in
Portland

As one of the evidences of business prosper
ity we notice the erection of large dry kiln
for the purpose of thoroughly and speedily
seasoning all kinds of hard and soft lumber.
Our manufacturers and builders have long
felt the need of increased facilities for pro-
curing thoroughly seasoned stock for immedi-
ate use, and especially has this been the case
within the past year owing to the fact that
both tenants and capitalists are demanding a
better class of buildings necessitating increased
care and attention in finish and ornamental
ton. In consequence of the high prices of
both soft and hard finishing lumber for the
past few months and consequent pressing for
ward of large amount of but partially season.
ed stock, our builders have been subjected in
many cases TO much inconvenience and in
several instances to serious loss
The lumber business of our city is a very i'm
portant factor of its growth and prosperity and
it is very gratifying to note this evidence that
our business men are not only alive to our
necessities but have the energy and ability
to supply them.
This building is now being erected by
Messrs. Rufus Deering & Co.. on York street
opposite Littlefisld & Wilson's mills and is to
contain all the latest and best arrangements
for thoroughly seasoning all kinds of lumber
in the quickest and most economical manner.
A thorough examination of this institution
and its method of operation will well repay
our architects, builders and real estate owners.
Messrs. Rufus Deering & Co. are among our
Oldest dealers in all kinds of finishing stock
- int bc
business, justifes them in believing that the
time has arrived when this long felt want
must be supplied. This method of drying is
covered by sixteen patents, requires more than
one and one-quarter miles of inch pipe, two
hundred feet of rail, and ten cars. Its capacity
will be about 5000 feet of green lumber in
eight days. These cars are so arranged
that when the green or partially seasoned
lumber is first put into the kiln it is exposed to
but very moderate degree of heat and as the
process of drying goes forward it is gradually
moved along towards the hottest part of the
kiln until just before being removed it is SUBJ
jected to heat of about 175 degrees. Several
times during the process of drying the stock is
subjected to steam bath causing the outside
to remain soft and pliable while the process of
seasoning goes forward from the inside, thus
avoiding the case hardening or finty condition
of kiln dried as ordinarily cured.
These kilns are very highly recommended
by those who have used them for several
years in the west and are guaranteed by the
Chicago owners of the patents to thoroughly
season all kinds of lumber without warping,
checking or injury of any kind, and to leave
the lumber softer, more easily worked and in
better condition in every respect than by any
other process known.

GONE WITH A SAILOR.
An Eastport Sea Captain Elopes With q
Married Woman.

Capt James Hickey of the schooner Sarah
B. Harris, now lying at T whsef, in Bost n,
has been missing from his vessel since Mon
day night of last week. At that time he went
ashore, and it has since been learned
that he, in company with Mrs. Dixon,
a married woman, formerly of good
repute, living at Arlington, Mass, went
to the Brewer House on Court street, where
the couple staid until Saturday evening, when
they took their departure to parts unknown.
The captain is also found to have taken with
him the bulk of the inward freight money
amounting to about $3.50, and about $50 of the
outward freight money. 1t is said that the
captain first met Mrs. Dixon some two or
three years ago, at Lombard's, No. 25 Crescent
place, where he was in the habit OF boarding
while in port, and it is supposed the int imacy
there started, at length ripened ihto close
friendship, which finally proved too alluring to
both parties to be withstood. They each have
families OF their own, the captain wife and
children living in Eastport. Mrs. Dixon's
husband and son are on the search for her, the
latter, only Is years old, carrying large pistol
and declaring that he will blow the brains out
of the rascal who has carried off his mother.
The owner of the vessel, N. Mayo, OF Boston,
has appointed another captain to take charge
of the craft, which is soon to sail for Lubec
James Barrett, the first mate OF the vessel, has
also been discharged by the owner and new
mate appointed.

Port, and Beet sugar Company

The editor of the "Sugar Beet" a quarter
ly published at Philadelphia and devoted to
the cultivation and crystalization of the sugar
beet lately made visit to the Portland sugE
works of which he gives the following account:
After spending some little time at Coaticook
(Canada) beet sugar factory, we thought it
would be of interest to our readers to know ex-
actly what has been done at Portland since
our last visit OF the difficulties we may mem
ton, the most important was the want of
bsets,-due to the grasping Yankee element
that prevails among the farmers in Maine. If
binding contract had been made with them
for period of years, instead of for one season,
we doubt if they could not have been made to
have grown the roots in manner, ETC., pre-
scribed by the company. IS ton for beets
such as they sold or grew was, when all is con-
sidered, as profitable as any crop that they
have been able to obtain on their lands for
years. Maine is not the paradise OF America.
It. is not in our government reports classified
among the important agricultural States The
sooner its farmers realize these facts, the bet
ter it will be for them. We are aware that
thousands of acres OF that State are worthless
for cultivation of any kind; hence, on the I'M
portance of taking care of what they have
ana adopting some new system OF farming tnat
would improve their social and financial con-
ditions We can say that If their foolish
routine be continued, it will have for effect
the utter ruin of the small are that is now de-
voted to husbandry, and that the most
northern of all our States will be the farthest
from the position it promised to occupy after
the first landing Of the Pilgrims. We long
since called our readers attention to some few
of the above facts; but we beg in the present
issue of the Sugar Beet to assert that any
factory, of whatever kind it be, il started with
out knowing what the future prospects are for
its raw material must evidently meet with the
same fate az has the beet sugar factory at Port
land. What would be thought Of q cotton
factory starting without knowing tolerably
we'll in advance how much of the desired raw
cotton could be obtained when wanted? For
the same reason surely one cannot look tor sue
cess in beet sugar factory where the roots
(raw materially are not forthcoming The
Portland factory could not resume operations
at the present, even If they had the beets, as
the Forest Refinery wants the room. Thou
sands of dollars are being spent to increase the
capacity of the refinery, and its owners, who
leased space to the sugar-making company,
have crowded the latter out, SO ends, as we
predicted, the history of the Portland factory,
| and SO will end others of its kind.
