CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
A growing industry in North Gorham is
the manufacture of hollow ware from wood
pulp. The goods mark an entirely new de-
parture in many respects. The manufactur-
ers use as basis of operations wood pulp
prepared by methods employed by no other
concerns, and from it construct pals, tubs,
and all kinds of hollow ware usually, made
from wood. Their methods OF production
are peculiarly their own, as may be Judged
from the fact they manufacture under no
fewer than sixteen patents. The goods are
astonishingly light in proportion to bulk, are
apparently made without seams, and nave
neither hoops nor exterior or interior sup
ports of any kind. They are made into tubs
of the largest size and are free Of the annoy
ance incidental to the use of the ordinary
wooden articles, as indurated ware has no
hoops to drop off, and no slaves to contract
under heat and dry atmosphere.

means to extricate the logs. The river is
said to be in the worst condition for driving
it has been in for years.
