SANFORD, July 20.-A Washington des-
patch to the PRESS of Wednesday, in speak
ing of the effect of the Mills bill on the
plush industry, refers to the Hopewell Plush
Mills at Sanford, York County, Maine.
This is correspondents mistake. The mills
located here are not named the Hopewell
Plush mills, but are called the Sanford Plush
Mills. They were established in 1867 by the
Msssrs. Goodall, of Sanford, who are the
principal owners and managers.
Sanford is one of the most enterprising of
Maine towns and its prosperity is due to the
carriage robe and car plush industry con-
Quoted by the Messrs. GOodall. The pro-
gress of the Mills bill is anxiously watched
here, for should it pass in its present form,

and from 700 to 500 people will be thrown
out of employment
