Maine Pulp and Its Uses.

A freight agent for one of the great
through lines to the West, whose office
is in this city, says that he sends out of
the state all the way from 100 to 200 tons
of pulp, which goes to the great cities of
the Mississippi sction and is then manu-
factured into paper. When the pulp has
been made it is placed in powerful press
es in the pulp mills here and enough
water is expressed to reduce mass
weighing 1876 pounds to 100 pounds. Yet
80 per cent of this 100 pounds that is sent
to the Western paper mills is water, and
the purchasers pay for but 40 per cent.
The manufacturers here are obliged to
pay the freight, and of course the rail
roads don't haul water for nothing, so
all the unnecessary freight must be paid,
simply because the 60 per cent of water
cannot be expressed from the pulp till it
is made into paper.
