Wood Pulp Pals and How They Are
Made.

The manufacture of pals from wood pulp
in Maine has not been practiced to any great
extent until within the past half dozen years.
1t was the invention of parties in the State
of New York. The largest mandatory is
in Lockport, N. I.
few years ago some persons started a
small mill in the locality known as Great
Falls, small manufacturing district situ-
ated some twelve miles above Saccarappa
Village, in the northern part of Gorham,
Maine.
The wood made use of is principally spruce
of small growth. Twelve feet of wood will
make 1000 or more pals The sticks are
cut into 16 inch lengths, split fine and ground
between set of heavy stones. Six feet of
prepared wood is reduced to pulp by this
process in ten hours. The pulp is run out
from the stones on to felt belts and scraped
off; then placed in the beating engine to give
it the required consistency. 1t is then
placed in the stuff chest and forced by
means of pumps into the machine" This
operation is similar to that in preparing
leather board or paper. stock The material
is then ready for forming the pail, which is
accomplished by the following process: The
pulp is forced under rubber bag upon an
iron form, which is perforated and covered
with wire gauze so as to allow the water
to drain off. When the stock or pulp be-
comes of the proper consistency for forming
the pail, hydraulic pressure is placed upon
the rubber bag and allowed to remain some
fifteen minutes After the pressure is re-
moved the pail is lowered down, taken from
the die, and carried to the drying room and
there subjected to 100 degrees heat for "a
hours. After being thoroughly dried it is
taken to the finishing room and placed on
the 'chuck," revolving machine contain
ing number Of fine saws, which gives the
required thickness of the pail. Each ma
chine has eight sanding and one saving
chucks One operator has charge of each
chuck. The pail is sanded inside and out
After the sanding it is taken to the busting
room and made ready for the proffing in the
treating department" The pail is sub
merged in solution of linseed oil and gums
of various kinds to give it solidity After
being thoroughly drained it is placed in an
oven and baked SO hours. When removed it
is again taken to the finishing room and the
profhng operation repeated. 1t is now ready
for the finisher to put on the ears and bail,
and then it goes into the hands of the packer
for shipment.
This is the process for making wood pulp
pals at the mandatory at Great Falls, Me-
Mr.. Parker, young man in the employ of
Messrs. Foster 81 Brown, machinists, at Sac
carappa Village, has recently invented a
machine whereby large amount of labor
and expense is saved, and better quality of
ware can be produced when it is perfected.

An Exciting Runaway.

Central wharf seems to be favorite STAN
peding ground for runaway horses, two hav-
ing dashed down there this week. The sec
ond was Mr.. George l.. Kimbalps horse,
which had an exciting run yesterday after
noon. Mr.. KimbalPs son was backing the
horse from the shed on Fore street where the
horse stands during the day. The sleigh
struck pile of rubbish and tipped over and
the horse started. He went down Cen
trail street at 2.40 clip and crossing Com
mercial street shot through the passage be-
tween the Office of Kensell & Tabor and the
store of S. A. and ]. II. True. A number of
freight cars were standing on the track on
the western side of the wharf, a narrow
space being left between them and the dock
The horse ran swiftly along the edge of the
wharf, there being just room enough for him
self and the sleigh. Coming to break in
the line of cars, he shot through, striking
one of the cars and smashing the sleigh. He
then followed the road to the end of the
wharf, turned to the left and followed the
narrow pathway around to the east side of
the wharf, where he got into the midstlof lot
of hogsheads standing there and was Sc
cured.
The horse received several cuts and was
famed in one of his hind legs. The shafts
of the sleigh, which was left by the freight
cars were broken and the sleigh more or
less smashed up.

The Soldiers, Monument.

In the item in yesterdays PRESS relative
to the Grattan Literary Associations dis
cussion of the question: Resolved that
Market Square is the best site for the
Soldiers Monument" the fact that the
regular disputants appointed on the affirm
alive were absent was omitted. The gentle
men who debated the question volunteered
to speak in the absence Of the regular dis
putantS without preparation. We are in
formed that the decision was not the result
of mature consideration and will doubtless
be reversed when the subject is brought nm
again in few weeks. The Grattans general
ly favor Market Square as the best site for
the monument.

RAILWAY MATTERS



The Somerset Reporter says: ''The prop
osition to build railroad from Skowhegan
to Athens is remarkably favorable one for
those who desire to see the road built, and it
is doubtful whether more advantageous Of
fer will ever be made. The capitalists who
have large sums of money invested in the
slate quarries at Monsop and other towns in
Piscataquis county, are determined to reach
the Boston market by more direct route
than they now have. Theyprefer the Show
hogan route If they can have it, as it is more
direct and perfectly feasible, but if they can
strike the Maine Central at Pittsfeld, or at
Newport, via the Dexter branch, it will serve
their purpose. If the road should be built
to Athens, there is scarcely doubt but that
it would secure the building of the road
from Athens to Monson, and later to Moose
head Lake. The Monspn quarries are now
doing large business. Two thousand
squares were quarried and manufactured in
the month of February, and the proprietors
are making arrangements to increase their
output largely. If they can secure direct
railroad transportation, the industry will be-
come one OF the most Important IN the State,
and will greatly aid the town that can Sc
cure large portion of the business result
ing therefrom, as Skowhegan can, if it has
direct railroad communication into the heart
of the slate region. Bangor now gets this
business. although the route to that city is
a roundabout one.
The problem is not whether Skowhegan
shall remain as it is now, or have railroad
to Athens and MOnSon, but whether it shall
have the proposed road, or have its present
business diverted by road to the east that
will operate as the Somerset road now does
on the west. With railroads all around it,
Skowhegan will become village that shall
have attained its growth and be on the
retrograde instead of the busy growing vii
lage It now is. :, Il Skowhegan and Athens
people can avail themselves of the offer of
Mr.. Mitchell, it seems to us they cannot af-
ford to let it pass. Pittsfeld, Hartland and
Harmony people are making vigorous efforts
to secure route through those, towns. and
the success of this route must necessarily
take business from Skowhegan and Athens.
MAINE CENTRAL.
The Bangor Wing representative has been
shown the cover of the new work about to
be issued by the Maine Central railroad, and
entitled "With Pen and Pencil at Mount De-
sert" The design is very handsome one,
and the pamphlet will be most attractive. 1t
will contain very large number of cuts of
Mount Desert scenery, and will undoubtedly
eclipse all other publications of the kind
which have been issued by the Maine Cen
trail. 1t is being written by IDr. William B.
Lapham of Augusta.
