There seems.to be an air of restless dis
content among the more remote pOpula-
tion of Cape Elizabeth. The farming
portion seem to think division of tue
town will relieve them of their present
burdens ofstaxation.
expressed is-seek first to adjust your
grievance some other way, don't make
the attempt to divide your grand old
town. for not one solitary permanent ad-
vantage will result, but rather draw
backs to the remote section year after
year will multiply; neither will progress
development, growtnanor real prosperity
be added unto you.
The only true remedy which will cure
YOUR discomfort is to become annexed to
Portland, where youl interests ell centre.
Then with Portland's interest for you,
through her influence, prestige and pow
er. the Cape may, and surely will in due
time. receive the greatest Boom she
aver dreamed of.
How SO do you ask? Plainly, clearly

Bright Outlook for Portlnud.

To the Editor of the PRESS.
But little more than 50 years ago Port
land and Chicago were very similar IN
area and population. Today Chicago,
having annexed eight separate towns and
cities. possesses an area of 26 miles In
length, and Is miles in greatest width
while her population aggregates more
than 1, SEQ. 0oO-forty times that of Port
landl
Chicago has 81 grain elevators aggre-
eating more than 3O.0O0,0 900 bushels ca
pacity, while Portland has one little
grain elevator of one-fifth Of one million
bushels capacity.
1t is also an undisputed fact that
Chicago possesses more "public spirit"
push and business enterprise than any
other American city. Portland started
out on a creditable career as city, on a
| circumscri bed neck or peninsula of
| land containing 1866 acres, with high
hopes and an apparently bright outlook.
| But she is right there yet, not having
expanded her terribly cramped area a
| single acrel
For moment behold the growth OF
the two cities but be careful that you
l
| plating what Chicago today is, rather
| than tnat Portland is not. Comparisons
are sometimes said to be odious, but in
| this case it all depends in which OF
| these two cities you reside.
| Recall to mind the limited cramped
| area. and condition Boston was in but a
few years ago. Visit Boston today and
! behold her grandeur, greatness, power,
| wealth, and magnifcence, and consider
whether it will pay for Portland to ex
pand and develop wealth, fame and great
| ness III like manner.
How it shall be done is question, the
answer to which may be made clear,
convincing and practical.
The interests of Deering, Cape Eliza
beth ana Portland, at nearly every point
are identical. BY their location and
situation they are naturally one com
munity. Hence they ought to be in reality
one municipality. Harmoniously united
far greater development, growth anC
wealth, attainable tn an is possible while
remaining separate. Portland's over
flow population into DeerinR and Cape
Elizabeth benefits those municipalities
only fractional part, for they do bust
ness in Portland and make most of theil
individual and family purchases there
Thus a home in one town, with all prac
tical business interests in another, may
be Iikened to "touse divided agains
itself"

Many Hunting for the Scalp OF the
State Assessor.

SIr. BurIeigh's Term Expires at This ses-
sion Of the Legislature and He May
Succeed HimseIf-Prospect of Lively
Struggle.
Especial to the PRESSJ
Augusta, December 21.-There is every in
dication that the hottest kind of fight is
ON for the position of state assessor now
hold by Hon. Hall Q. Burleigh of Vassal-
boro.
Mr. Burleigh's term expires during the
coming session Of the legislature, and that
body will select his successor.
Up to within few weeks it WAS thought
that Mr. Burleigh had clear field for the
POSITION, but another candidate has loomed
up in the person of Hon. .Lyanoer strickland
of Bangor.
There has been more or less strife over
the position on the board OF state assessors
ever since the organization of the board. !.
The reason for this is that the men who
own the thousand of acres of wild lands in
anxious to have the board composed of men
who will be favorable to their interests.
When the first election took place, Mr.. e.
E. Oak of Caribou was prominent cand1,
date. but he withdrew from the contest and
Mr.. Frank Gilman of Bangor. was elected
by one majority. Soon after. Mr.. Gilman
was klueu ny IallluB IfOm II 1dIlrOdu hloAhs
and Governor Burleigh appointed Hon. A.
". Gilman of FoxcIoft to fill the vacancy.
Mr.. Gilman was selected on account OF MS
prominence as leading farmer of the state
But the wild land owners thought that
Mr. Gilman was hostile to their interests
and when the nomination came up before
the executive council it was promptly de-
feated. The Governor then appointed Mr..
Burleigh and he was confirmed.
When the legislature met and the duty of
saleoting a man to fill Mr.. Gilman's unex-
pired term came up.the wild land owners
again tried to defeat Mr.. Burlelgh, Dut
failed as before.
But in Mr.. Strickland the wild land own;
ers think they have candidate who will
surely get there this time. The friends OF
Mr.. Burleigh predict: that ii will bes the
same old story. The farmers of the state
are unanimous for MI. .Burleigh, so they say,
and the farming interests always control
The legislature when they hold together.
