the PORTLAND COMPANY
Have New Deal and Are Cutting
Down Expenses. -5-
Resignation Of Employees of Many
Years standing.

The Portland Company in May last found
themselves $4,000 behind, and 1t was evil
dent that something must be done. Inc
company found that they could not compete
with the great plants of the West IN loco
motive building-plants that empioyeo
machine for every part OF the engine nlaue'
The Portland locomotives bore high repu-
tation, but they could not be made as cheap
ly MS those at the great works elsewhere.
| The Boston Locomotive Works had shut
down and other Institutions in New England
were not making any money. 1t was felt
certain that certain classes Of work could
prolitably be engaged in such as the building
of marine engines and b0ilers.-the company
is building the engines for the steamer Port
land-and jobbing, a good deal Of work COM
lag from Cumberland Mills.
In order to arrange for the proposed
change In business it was voted to make a
decided reduction in the expenses of the es-
adjustment. While none Of the workmen
will be discharged, the payroll Of the works
will be brought within the income of the
company. III the reduction thus made does
not accomplish the desired object then an
other reduction will take place, and, II that
fails the works will be closed. II employees
feel that the salaries offered are less
than they are willing to accept their places
win not be filed. There are, we are in
formed, number of positions that are, at
! present, almost sinecures, and these can very
readily be dispensed with. 1t is simply q
| question as to whether the. stockholders
shall run the business on business princi
| Piles or for the benefit of the public at theiI
own expense. The assets of the company
are at present largely liz excess of the llabili-
| ties. 1t is felt that the plant could be as
| sessed at very low valuation, and every
stakeholder receive par for his stock, II
the works and real estate were sold and the
business given up. The Portland Company,
however. is an Institution which was estab-
lished here In 1916, is one In which our citi
zens haye taken great pride, 1t employs al
| present some 200 men, and 1t is the desire oil
all interested in it to keep 1t going If pos
sible.
| In accordance with tho new condition OF
| things, Mr.. George w. Beale. who has beer
| superintendent some % years, has resigned,
as have also Mr.. Dam, foreman painter. Mr.
Heseltine, foreman of the car shop and Mr..

thas been hoped that government work
could be secured for the building of cruiser,
for the navy. BUTT will probably be soms
time before any contracts will be taken, fol
the reason that the specifications thus fal
call for a class OF work that the COMPRESSION
al appropriations do not cover. 1t will bt
remembered tha for the last lot of cruiser:
none Of the bids fell within the amounts
appropriated.

ted that with sufficient allowance for
streets, there will be left for sale 80 lots of
5000 feet each, that should sell quickly at
$1,000 lot, or $4,000 for the whole.
In year from now it is believed that this

lent scheme, it is proposed to form corpora

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
PORTLAND THEATRE.

Tonight the regular season of Portland
Theatre will be opened by the Germans.
They have just finished a most successful
engagement at the Globe Theatre, Boston,
and the Herald endorsed their entertainments
as follows:
The Globe Theatre was opened for a pre-
liminary season last evening, and the Cor
man Brothers minstrels was the attraction.
The theatre was crowded, every seat was oc-
cupied and the standing room was filled. The
novelty of the entertainment provided by
the Germans was mainly found in the ab0-
lition of the half-circle. The curtain rose on
stage left, conservatory on the right and a
bridge at the centre and back. Across the
bridge comes a company of soldiers, and
when all have marched down front drill is
presented with many clever features. Mr..
SS sOSss B s nUTsg c snsi e AHA
given, Mr.. James Gormanlhas recitation,
Mr.. Edwin Harley sings "a curl from baby's
head" Mr.. George German and John E. Cor
man contribute specialties, a lively skit on
base ball is introduced, Mr.; Arthur e. Rigby
quartette contributes several popular selec-
tions. Mr.. Rigby makes the second part Of
the entertainment very amusing by his conf
calities; a new song and dance, arranged
with some skill, takes up the time allotted to
".
Duncan the ventriloquist make the time pass
pleasantly until the presentation Of Mr..
James Germans "The Princess of Cambo-
dia." This piece requires the services Of all
the members of the company, and it Is cos
tuned and staged in very effective manner.
The performance was well received.
THE PAVILION.
Last night the comedy dot, the Street
Waif," was produced. the leading parts being
taken by Miss Editha Harrington as Dot, and
G. ALT Harrington as Moses Levi. Whistling

scenery was arranged for the play. Theper-
Torrance was one that gave great satisfac-
ton.
The company gave good support. The
new members of the company. Mrs. Lucy

Burke, all proved good additions. The same
play will be given every afternoon and even
ing this week. Reserved seats are on sale at

lady, although he is married man him
self. He was watched by his wife, and q

mind" In such an emphatic manner that
she was not presentable for several days

tired to a drug store and had his injuries
attended to.
