Rumford Falls railroad to Otis Fails,
where the first stop was made. RkHere the
party were shown about the biggest paper
mills in the world by Mr.. Chisholm and
made a thorough inspection OF the plant.
They found it to be the most complete
mill in every particular that IS 10 De
found in this country. The machinery
and all of the appliances are OF the most
modern construction and the plant Is
turning out quality of paper that has
world wide reputation.

Falmouth mills were visited These mills
are now closed SO that only the buildings
could be inspected The party then
walked over the new bridge which is be-

Falls branch of the Portland and Rum
ford Falls railroad and boarded another
| special train which took them on to Riley
where half an hour was passed in looking
over the mamouth pulp mill at that
point. This is one of the supply mills for
the Otis Falls company's paper mills and
| is turning out an immense quantity of
pulp every day. 1t is to bring logs an d
pulp wood directly to this point from the
-Rangeley region that the Otis Falls
