The visitor to the paper pulp facto-
ry last Saturday, could not help but
notice sheet of pulp suspended above
the pulp machine, at the bottom of
which sheet were three streamers, of
red, white and blue colors. On the
sheet of pulp was the inscription eve
are the People" An investigation of
the meaning of the strange device
elected the information that the crew
of men on Friday night had manufac-
tured nearly fifteen thousand pounds
of paper pulp, beating all previous
records at the factory. James Pusey
was foreman of the crew.

Wheelmen mind not the driving rain, as
was seen by the enthusiastic crowd which
attended the monthly supper last evening
of the Wheel Club. P. T. Griffin, e. E.
Eastman, Fred w. Adams, Dwight Bayley
and Frank Liscomb were guests. Refresh
ments were furnished by Perkins. Presi-
dent Stevens, in pleasant words, welcomed
the visitors, hoping soon to see them enrolled
as members. He believed the time was
coming when wheelmen could powerfully in
fluence road Improvement legislation. and
earnestly urged the efforts of every wheel
man toward such desired end. The infu-
ence of the League throughout the country
was beginning to be felt; scientific men
were agitating the matter of better roads,
and the opinion that there should be nation
al highways, as in France, maintained by
Government, was gaining ground. II. j.
Patten told an amusing story of ride from
Rockland to Camden, during which he took
an unfortunate "header" by riding on a
plank sidewalk in which were big cracks.
Membership in the club had been great
benefit to him, both socially and in wheel
ing way, and he regretted the necessity of
soon resigning, as he was shortly to leave
the city. The same week he bought wheel
he joined the club. II. M. Breen read an
amusing original poem, which he humorous
ly stated had been forwarded for the occa-
sion by one of the great poets. ''The Idyl
OF the Cyclist," it was called. DIR. G. E.
Dow and F. NJ. Brown spoke briefly, after
which Mr.. Patten suggested the agitation Of
a scheme to build cycling path along the
shore road of the Cape, but President Ste
vens thought such an idea would end in talk.

GOOD NEWS FOR THE NATURAL SEAPORT
The Canadian Pacific to Make Port
land an Outlet.
The Boston & Maine Will Build an
Elevator on it's Wharf.
The Beaver Line Of Steamers viii
Do some of the Business.

There has been great deal said for a
number OF years about the probability of the
Canadian Pacific coming to Portland. Port
land people are fully cognizant of all the ne
gotiations that were entered into with Sir
George Stephen, in reference to the matter
and the proceedings in which the city gov
eminent bore prominent part. These ne
EQUATIONS did not result in making Portland
the winter port of the Canadas, but later it
was given ont that the Canadian Pacific
would have number of winter ports of
which Portland would be one, and not i'm
probably port for the entire year. So the
matter has gone on, and while lit is possible
that Portland will eventually be the great
poration nothing definite on that point is yet
known by any one. probably, outside of the
managers themselves.
The PRESS is able to say this morning
that is has the inf ,rmation, from undoubted
authority, that Portland will be an outlet
for the business of the Canadian Pacific. Mr..
Van Horn has stated so distinctly and not
as any secret. He has in his possession the
plan of an immense elevator which he stat
ed General Manager Furber, of the Boston &
Maine, representing that corporation, will
erect on Boston & Maine wharf in this city.
This elevator will have capacity of 6O0,0 900
bushels and will be about four times as
large as the one on Gait wharf, 1t is to have
spouts which will supply all the matches of
steamship at once, and also have shed
on lower elevation so arranged that as the
steamer lies at the wharf, il can load and
discharge cargo at the same time.
The Canadian Pacific will of course run
over the Mountain Division of the Maine
Central from Montreal to Portland. The
Boston d Maine wharf is of ample size:to ac-
commodate such an elevator as Just de-
scribed, and the depth of water, with the
dredging by government, will afford the lar
gest steamers chance to lie easily at the
piers. When the Sarnia went out from the
Grand Trunk wharf, yesterday afternoon,
three or four hours after high tide and
drawing % feet, she went along as easily as
if she had the Atlantic ocean under her.
1t is understood that the Beaver line of
steamships, which ran from this port at one
time, will be the first line of steamers to take
the Canadian Pacific grain from the new ell
evator. The ships of this line are of about
$500 tons capacity each and embrace five
steamers. the Lake Superior. Lake Ontario.
Lake Nepigon, Lake Huron and Lake Mani
toba. What other steamers will be contract
ed with we have not learned, nor perhaps
has the matter been decided, but. as we un-
derstand the matter, the elevator is to be
ready for next winters buiness, so that the
work on the elevator will begin early in the
spring, and steamer contracts must shortly
be made General Manager Furber was in
town few days ago looking over the
ground.

Willis, the Foreer,

Ehe PRESS published an item a few days
ago, speaking of the arrest of man in Wor.
cester for forgery, who, from the descrip-
tion, answered to Willis, the man who
passed forged checks at Millett's grocery
store and elsewhere in Portland. Wednes-
day Mr.. G. c. Barrows, one of Mr.. Millett's
clerks and Deputy Marshal Merrill, went to
Worcester and saw Willis. Mr.. Barrows
called him by name, but the forger tried to
bluff 1t out. He, however, weakened and
pleaded for mercy. He wanted to fix the mat
ter up, but it was of no avail. He is now
awaiting the sitting of the grand jury, who
will indict him. The authorities in Worces-
ter are of the opinion that he will get SEN
tence of about eight or ten years and then
the Portland authorities can have a chance
at him.
Willis's right name is George A. Mix, and
he belongs In Hartford, Conn.

The Liverpool and London and Globe
Insurance Company,

40 WILLIAM STREET,
NEW YORK, I'd December, 1885,
To our agents:
Gentiemen,-B the recent CONGREGATIONS
at LYNN and BosToN, estimate the aggre-
gate loss of this company at $275,000.
Acting with the promptitude which has
been prominent feature in 1.-The practice of
this company since its entry into the States
Al years ago, it is likely that the entire sum
named will be disbursed within the next
fortnight. Already some losses have been
adjusted and settled. %t
To satisfy the claims now under c0nsid-
Grafton, as well as the ordinary losses of the
company, no realization of securities will be
necessary, the sums always retained at call
at banks and trust companies for emergen-
cies being more than adequate to the present
demand. The cash held on deposit at this
date in New York City is S436,OO
The present seems favorable opportun-
ity to once more place before your clients
the merits of this company.
Long ago we demonstrated our ability to
satisfy land, as we believe, literally claim
ants sorely tried in calamities like that at
CHICAGO in 1871, and BOSTON in 1872; and
now, whilst the losses sustained by our COM
pany are comparatively insignificant. your
clients may well. in view of possibilities so
nearly brought to their attention by the re-
cent confagrations, inquire anew as to our
resources and reputation.
Yours very truly,
HENRY W. EATON,
Resident Manager
