To the Editor of the Press.

To the Editor of the Press:
Since my former communication on the Cam
adam Pacific Railroad appeared in the PRESS
/ have been gratifed to find so many favorable
expressions in regard to the matter, from solid
and conservative business men of the city.
One of our Commercial street merchants said
to me that when he first read the communica-
ton he thought it too great an undertaking for
the city at this time, but on looking into the
matter he was convinced that it could east
ly be accomplished at reasonable cost am
sure this will be the opinion of all who care
fully consider the conditions
There are but few good buildings on the line
OF the proposed street that would require to be
moved or taken down. The only good brick
building that would be interfered with is the
Twitchell & Champlin near the head
OF Merrill's wharf, and that could
be moved back to the lower line of
the new street at small expense. Whole
blocks OF brick stores have been raised up and
moved in Chicago aud other large cities. The
other brick buildings on the line are on Rich
ardson's aud Commercial wharves and they
are cheap buildings that would need to give
place to better II new street were to be built
Ii might be better not to keep just one hun
ureu ioeb from commercial street. at all points
and some of the crooks and turns of CONNER
cial street might be avoided. There is q de-
mand for large stt res, and some one hundred
and fifty feet deep running through from Com
mercial to the new street would be in demand
for large firms.
1t appears to me that the increase Of the val
ne of the wharf property on the line of the pro-
posed street woul0 be SO great that but little
land damage would be incurred by the inn
proyement. The cost of building would be less
than one would suppose who has not looked
into the matter, as the streets would cross
many solid wharves that would make SO much
of the street without cost. When CONNER
cial street was laid out there were no solid
wharves; consequently the cost of building was
much larger than it would be in this case.
doubt If the cost Of building this street
would be greater than that incurred by the
B & M. railroad in coming into the city. At
any rate the street would be worth many times
its cost if il were the means of bringing the
@. T. road here. There is another very iInpor-
tant consideration and that is the city's dispos-
al of its interest in the Ogdensburg road II it
only requires the building of a new street to in
duce those who have control of the Canadian
Pacific to locate here by all means let Us build
the street. L.

Thanksgiving Day was observed in Gorham
by union service held at the Congregational
church. After excellent opening music the
Rev. Mr.. Jones OF the Methodist church
preached an eloquent sermon from Psalms 1O7
1-"O give thanks unto the Lord for he is
good for his mercy endureth forever"
No day is more worthy of general observance
than Thanksgiving Day; no cay is more dis
tinctively national in its character. It has
claims upon US which are imperative in their
demands-claims upon us as a nation at large,
as state and as individuals. They are i'm.
perative because Of our national and in
dividual prosperity. True Thanksgiving is an
expression of heartfelt emotion prompted by a
sense Of benefits conferred by one who 10 un-
der no special obligation to the recipients OF
the favers. They are granted because of the
immeasurable love and great heartedness Of
the giver.
AS nation we have received blessings in
Vulnerable, both temporal and spiritual and
though we are not here to-day to specially con-
slider our spiritual blessings, yet we are aware
OF most intimate relation existing between
merely temporal prosperity and the faithful
servics of God by the people. We are TODAY
one OF the most prosperous nations in existence
because we are one OF the most Christian
nations. "The year just closing has been
replete with evidences OF Divine goodness.
The prevalence OF health, the fulness OF
harvests the stability Of peace and order thu
growth Of fraternal feeling, the spread OF in.
telIigence and learning, the continued enioy-
ment OF civil and religious liberty--all these
and countless other blessings are cause FOR
reverent rejoicing"

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE,

1t will be apparent to any one, who will
examine SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, large proportion of the
precious metal used il needed only to stitien
and hold the engraved portions in place and
supply the necessary soldity and strength
The surplus gold is actually needless so far
rs utility and beauty are concerned. In
JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH
CASES, this waste of preciouametal is over
come, and the SANE soLIpirr AND STRENGTH
produced at from one third to one-half of the
usual cost Of solid cases. This process is of
the most simple nature, as follows: plate
of nickle composition metal. especially
adapted to the purpose, has two plates OF
SOLID GOLD soldered one on each side. The
three are then passed between polished steel
rollers, and the result is strip of heavy
plated composition, from which the cases,
backs, centres, bezels, &C., are cut and
shaped by suitable dies and formers. The
gold in these cases is sufficiently thick to ad-
nit of all kinds of chasing, engraving and
enamelling; the engraved cases have been
carried until worn perfectly smooth by time
and use without removing the gold.
THIS is THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL GER
TIFICATE.
