A vaIued RclIc.

Visitors to the rooms Of Hon. William n.
Clifford, on Middle street, have often COM
mtnted on the Anticipated sign suspended over
the entrance of the inner Office, bearing the in
scription IN. Clifford's ofics." in gilt letters
upon black ground. This sign Judge Ma
than Clifford. father of William. displayed
over the door OF his Office when he first enter
ed upon the practice Of bis profession in New
field, in 1925, and was paid for by the first fee
that he ever received. When he came to Port
land the aristocratic acquaintance ne made
here suggested that he should substitute .
more elegant sign for it, hut the Judge replied
that his first successes were made behind that
sign, and as long as he continued in the prac-
tice of his profe ssion he should regard the old
sign good enough for him. This resolution he
adhered TO, and therefore, until he was APP
pointed to be Justice of the United States
supreme Court, it NAMED as feature Of the

CANNED GOODS.
The Outlook OF the Business for ihe Cora

Yesterday representative OF the PRESS
called upon prominent packers to obtain their
opinions upon the prospects for the coming
SEASON OF the canned goods business in general
aud OF corn packing-one OF Names great in
dustries-in particular. All approached upon
the subject agreed that the existing depression
In the price of corn is unexampled and also
that at ruling prices the goods cannot be pack
ed except at decided loss, All the principal
packers are carrying large stocks. Smaller
concerns have disposed of their pack of corn at
such prices as could be obtained~-in some
cases at loss. A few weeks ago the market
Tor corn was rallying somewhat but tn sale Of
the stock of the insoiyent firm of Perry &
Flint, in one block of 1900 cases at 70 ceuts
per dozen 20 cents less per dozen than cost
has had very depressing effect. One Port
land concern that packed heavily last season,
proposes to pack no corn whatever this year.
The large concerns are watching the market,
and as yet, we understand, no price to be paid
farmers has been determined upon. Other
kinds Of canned goods than corn have found
fair sale. Lobster is quite thoroughly out of
our market. Burnham'& Morrill, have packed
less mutton and beef thus far than last season
The Portland Packing Company's pack of this
class of goods exceeds that of last winter

DISEASED CATTLE.
Appearance of the Foot and Month Dis
ease on Steamship Ontario AT Liverpool.

An Associated Press dispatch last night stat.
ed that 81 head of cattle and sheep of the
cargo OF steamer Oatario, which arrived at
Liverpool. Friday, from Portland, we're affect
ed with the foot and mouth disease upon ar.
rival. The infected animals were Canadian.
IL is further stated that by virtue of the strict
precautions taken with the Ontario's cargo
that there is no fear of the disease spreading.
There is good reason for believing that the
disease originated in Liverpool, as the Ontario
took to Portlsnd cargo Of Hereford's, which
showed the disease after landing here. 1t is
not thought the place Of detention in Portland
Is Infected. The inspectors at Liverpool await
the cargo due Wednesday from Portland, be-
fore coming to final decision.

LOSSES no COAL VESSELS.
A Practical Suggestion About Loading
Thenas
no ths EDITOR of the pre.,:

10 Ws LQltoT % We FTeSS
News comes this morning of the loss Of the
Bark Esther" of Portland, caused by the
shifting Of the cargo.-anthracite coal tween
decks-brt in this case the crew are saved. In
too many cases of the loss of double decked
vessels bound to Portland from the snthra-
cite OF hard coal ports, the vessel or crew
are never heard from. In every case where
the crew, or part of them have been saved,
they all tell enc story, viz; The cargo between
decks shifted.
Within the past fifteen to twenty years, $
good many vessels with hard coal, for Port
land, have been lost in this manner. and, what
Is singular, nearly all of them were Portland
vessels, and, be it remembered all we're double
decked vessels.
My object in this article, is to prevent, or
help to prevent such losses in the future, and
it can be dons in this way, viz: To fill the
lower hold fall, fogs aud aft and up to the
deck, II care be taken that the tyimmers fill
cbock full. The vessel may be deep enough
with lower hold full; II not, then estimate the
namber Of tons more that are wanted, and
build two solid buik-heads between decks, en-
closing rs many cubic feet as are required to
hold the number of tons OF coal by filling full
10 the upper deck. Then If the hnlk-heads bs
strong enough, the coal can not shift, W. r.
