The Sun River Detection.

The following letter to the Helena
Herald, fully explains the reported de-
~fection among the republicans of that
locality. We did not believe it were
possible that such widespread dissatis-
faction existed, and now it is sure that
good feeling exists among all the repub-
licans Of the valley, and a good majority
will be given to the party nominees.
Sun RIVER, October 9.-Honest men
OF this valley take no stock in the
nefarious game to bring about a defec-
ton among republicans. Democratic
influence has done its utmost to involve
good men not of their political ways to
aid in fighting republican friends and
bringing reproach upon party integrity
here. The few republicans at first de-
ceived have detected the fraud, and got
themselves out of the trap. The Sun
newspaper has thrown off its neutrality
and gone over to the enemy. 1t can no
further harm the republicans, for having
sold out the party can no longer be led
by it. Say to the intermeddler
who parades himself as "a republican
in the democratic paper of Helena that
we want no more of his interference.
He is no honest republican who attacks
his party ticket in an opposition paper.

Friday morning, in reference to Judge
Knowles speech:
He actually rambled away in fanci-
full imaginings about large sfocks Of
the wool growers he saw on his way
down between here and Sun River,
when everybody knows that there are
not half a dozen sheep in that locality
This weighty paragraph will be duly
appreciated when it is remembered that
the Judge did not come by way Of Sun

we'll stocked sheep ranges of Meagher
county, and the remarks alluded to
were very appropriate, with respect to

Masked hugging parties are popular

LITTLE DIAMOND ISLAND.

In point of beauty of scenery accessibility,

our most enterprising citizens and business men.
Mr.. Smiths idea has been to develop and embel-
lish his purchase into charming and enjoy able
summer retreat, and certainly the location of the
island and its general facilities unsurpassed for
this purpose. During the two years since Mr.
Smith became owner the property has been greatly
improved by the setting out of large numbers Of
maple trees, and the building of many fine cot
tages, notably those owned by Mr. FREQ Morse, Mrs

Smith is prepared to lease sell lots for building
purposes to acceptable parties terms to suit
the purchaser. He will lease the land for term of
years. and on its expiration buy the cottage at ap-
praisal, or make any other arrangement that win

quite number of cottages, which he Will offer for
sale or to let.
The isaud is the to the city of any in the
Bay being but fifteen minutes sail. Its drainage is
perfect, and there is an abundance of excellent
spri0g water, equal in purity to any mineral water
known, on the premises. The view from the island
is grand and inspiring, especially on Sunset Hill

with Portland Head Light blazing forth at night
and many other delightful views that are unsur-
passed on the coast. Down on the sandy beach be-

improvement of a section of Great Diamond Island

along the northern shore from its western extremity
to Birthstone Cove. and includes the famous Dia-
mond Cove. For beauty of location magnificent land
and water views, and other charming and varied
features, this property has superior the Maine
coast, and the many handsome cottages which have
been erected thereon, surrounded by green and
sunny slopes or rugged rocks is one of the most
beautiful sights in harbor. 1t commands fine
views of the city, the White Mountains, and the
qarbor, and although directly in the path Of the
great tide of summer travel down the bay it is just
exclusive enough in its location to make it most
charming resort during the heated term.
Among the cottages which have been erected on
the island are those of Messrs James II. Johnson
Loren Beals. W. Noyes, Samuel L. Lyford, Seth L..

PORTLAND & OGDENSBURG RAIL-
ROAD

The tourist or summer traveller cannot find a
more delightful or enjoyable trip If he were to
travel the country over than that offered by the
Portland Ogdensburg Railroad ride of four
hours on this road will carry him to the famous
Notch of the White Mountains, through some of
the most sublime scenery in the world.
For the first seventeen miles from Portland the
road runs through half dozen fine farming towns
the landscape being diversified by orchards, green
fields and patches of forest, which stretch away
with undulating surface, everywhere showing signs
of fertility and cultivation The falls on the Pre-
sumpseot add interesting feature to the sceRe
Sebago Lake, the shore of which is skirted by the
road is beautiful sheet of water, fourteen miles
in length by eight width. From Sebago the road
strikes across TO Saco River and up the valley to
Hiram where the Great Falls of the Saco present a
grand spectacle; then again to the lovely inter
wales of North Conway, along the Saco's banks, up
steep ascents, spanning with bridge and viaduct
foaming torrents and dizzy rayines, through rocky
defles and under frowning cliffs, cing;ng as secure
ly 10 the mountain side to the level valley the
P. q 0. must be lasting monument to the skill of
its engineer, the wisdom and energy of its managers
aud the enterprise of the citizens of Portland, and
it will remain unriValed in its peculiar attrac-
ons for the lover of nature and seeker for health
and recreation.
The nine miles frem Bemis Station to the Craw-
ford House in the Notch present panorama OF
mountain scenery of unequaled grandeur, and
many visitors from foreign lands admit that there is
nothing in their own countries that suTpasses it,
The P. & o. is the eastern terminal of many other
lines leading to Canada and the Lakes. The extent
of these lines and their traffic. which promises soon
to be greatly multiplied by additional facilities and
the competition of tributary lines, indicate the
prospective value of the Portland & Ogdensburg
Railroad, and whether regard it as carrier Of
annual crowds of pleasure seekers or as the con-
slant servitor of the merchant and shipper it is des
tined to play leading part in the future growth
and progress of our city.
Those at distance requiring time tables, or any
desired information, will be cheerfully accommo-
dated by applying to Mr.. Chas. H. Foye General
Ticket agent, in this city.

hotels in the White Mountain region, the Crawford,

VOLNEY BARKER.
Manufacturer of Corn Packing Machin-

Manufacturer of Corn Packing Machin-
cry.
The business of packing green corn in cans orig
mated in Portland about the year 1843, and 10
peculiarly Portland process, which has given the
city worldwide reputation. The canned goods
put up here largely consumed in distant
countries, and their preparation has become an im-
portant industry not only of the city, but of the
State, giving employment to many thousands.
From the commencement nearly all the work OF
the processes of preparing and canning the corn
was done by hand labor, until some ten years ago
Mr., Volney Baker turned his attention to the IN
the work could be greatly facilitated and in much
more satisfactory manner. AS the result OF his
talent in this direction he first invented a green
corn cutter, worked by hand, which does the work
Of ten girls, and is used extensively throughout the
country by the prominent packing houses. An au-
tomato cutter which he has recently constructed
will however do as much work three of the above
named machines.
His automatic filler which he has been to work
on for the past i've years and has but recently per-
fected, is most ingeniously constructed piece OF
machinery perfect in its workings yet simple in It's
mechanism, and will easily fill from go to 75 cans
minute, doing it, too, in much more thorough and
systematic manner than could possibly be done by
hand. Another recent invention of Mr.. Barker's
is the can washing machine for cleansing the tops OF
the work of five girls.
Expert and interested parties who have carefully
and thoroughly examined the workings of these diff
ferent machines prounouDc them fully equal to
all the advantages which their inventor claims,
and destined tO have an extensive use among corn
packers.
We are glad to hear that MIR. Barker will
hlhseI reall1e the profits accruing from the use OF
DIS genius IN This direction and that ne has justly
earned tnem no one can dispute. He is now at
work on several oher Inventions which he will
place upon the market when fully developed.
