The Triumph of steel in Harvester
Building

When 10 1885 the Harvesting Ma
chine made practically of steel instead
of wood, was introduced it was de-
nOunced by all harvester manufacture
ers, except the manufacturers introduce
ing it-William Deering & Co.-be-
cause, as thew said, it was not as dur.
able as the wooden machines, but in
reality their denunciation was caused
by the fact that they feared that it
would overturn tn. ir old methods of
manufacture and give the farmers ma
chimes so durable 10 structure as to
prevent their frequent temperance to
purchase another machine.
William Deering Il Co., however,
persisted in giving the farmers the
benefit of their inventive ability, and
In four harvest seasons they have for

The Parsons Journal of yesterday
morning, among lis INTEREST," z para,
graphs, finds room for the following
sad experience, with the appended
moral or suggestion. 1t says:
An editor might write a four col.
umn complimentary notice ola prom
meet citizen, and the said prominent
citizen wouldn't see the article at all,
{, nd if he did he wouldn't so much rs
thank the editor. But if the editor
were to write a twO-line item against
his royal nibs and have the foreman
put it lie the most obscure part of the
paper, between two patent medicine
adds, said prominent citizen would
climb FIVE flights OF rickety stairs to
pestle the head of the editor because
he truthfully perhaps, said the prom
inent citizen wasn't a gentleman. Yet
there are people who say it don't pay

A little girl who signs herself Fifth
Ward" sends in the following bit Of spring
poetry, which she hopes the BAzoo will
publish. She says:
A small boy with a shining pail,
Went singing gayly down the dale,
To where 4 COW of brindle tail,
On sweetest clover did regale.
A bumblebee bee did gently sail
Over the soft and shadowy vale.
To where the boy with shining pail
Was milking COW with brindle tail.
The bee lit down on cows left ear,
Her heels went up thro' tn atmosphere
And through the limbs Of an apple tree
The boy SCARED into Etern-I-T.

Mes!sss,. WINE OF cxi6yI for female diseases
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1890-06-25

1t is hard to see what motive there can be
that impells people to scratch or carve their
initials or their full names on dead walls,
trees, public buildings and similar places.
There is some excuse for man carving his
name on the top of Mt. Washington, or on
the uppermost pinnacles Of the Rockies; but
for man to wander about the city of Port
land placing his sign manual on walls and
fences there is no excuse save the old over
worked plea of insanity. The city has been
at some pains and expense this year to build
on the Western Promenade covered band
stand or summer house for the use of sight
seers. 1t is fine specimen Of simple kind
of architecture and is great ornament to
the Promenade. This pretty summer house
was hardly finished, the paint was hardly
dry on the walls before the withdrawing
vandal appeared and left his mark behind
him. On the dark stained shingles appears
ragged letter K once inside and once out
There is law against defacing public
buildings which should be vigorously en-
forced II the perpetrator of the outrage can
be discovered.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1890-06-25

1t will be seen that the number of voters in
Ward is only 10 less than in Ward Z, and yet
in the census estimate for 1890, Ward is
credited with 747 more population than
Ward 8. Ward As voters are only As less in
number than Ward rs, yet in the census es-
innate the latter ward is credited with / 80
more people than the former. Ward has
voting population of 1247, while Ward 6
has ITS. yet Ward Us total population is
given in the census estimate as only 4,165,
while Ward 6's is more than 700 larger.
These Inconsistencies seem inexplicable ex-
cept upon the theory that the recent count
mas been inaccurate, and more inaccurate in
what are known as the Irish wards thar
anywhere else. And there is where the
most inaccuracies would be expected, for
there the greatest difficulties exist.
Doubtless the estimate of 10000, based M
on the number of polls is too large, because
it is probable that the ratio between popula-
ton and polls which decreased from 1870 to
1880, still further decreased from 1880 to 1890
But making very liberal allowance for this
decrease the number of polls point to pop
ulation of at least $1,000. whereas this CEN
sus estimate gives us less than $4,000.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1890-06-25
The Population Of Portland.

According to the estimate made by the
supervisor Of the census from the returns in
his hands the present population of Port
land is S4.45l. In 1880 the population was
1896, so that the increase In 1890 over 1880
is only 655. The population Of Portland in
1870 was 31,4l3. and the increase between
1870 and 1880 was 1888, while the increase
for the last decade is only about one quarter
as much. OF course the showing made by the
supervisors estimate has caused good deal
OF disappointment. An apparently conser-
waive estimate had placed the population at
10000. The assessors, basing their estimates
on the return Of the number Of poll tax pay
ers, had figured out population of rising
10000. and the census of the children of
school age had seemed to point to the same
hgures. When, therefore, the census figures
showed drop below these estimates of some
six thousand, and that Portland, as far as
population was concerned, had practically
stood still during the last decade, there was
naturally very strong suspicion that the
census enumerators had not done their work
thoroughly. A good many reports of an
parent omissions have come to us. some of
them well authenticated. How MANY such
omissions there have been can only be de-
termined by an actual canvass. Stories are
rife that number Of large boarding houses
have been skipped, and it is reported that
none Of jewellers on some streets of consid-
cradle length have been visited by the emu
nerators. We do not undertake to youch
for these stories. but they are In circulation.
But the figures Of Mr.. Wright's estimate
when compared with the number Of polls as
borne upon the books of the city assessors
and the number of names on the voting list,
disclose some apparent inconsistencies which
do not seem explainable except upon the as
sumption that Mr.. Wright's estimate is too
small. We subjoin the populations of each
ward by the census Of 1880 and by the census
of this year:
