we will have to take on South Portland.
The Grand Trunk system today numbers
81 different roads and has 4sS6 miles Of

ought to be proud that Portland is the
Atlantic terminal of the road. The com

The Mayor recalled ths recent celebra-

a pleasing reference to the visit of the
Royal Scots. He then welcomed Mr..

made at the East Deering stock yard, the

steamer service required to carry on the
business with Europe.
Hon. John w. Deering, collector of the
port Of Portland, said in part: About
every resolution that the Portland Board
of Trade used to pass was began With the
statement that Portland had the finest
harbor in the country. In Canada the
expression has been that the Almighty
had given the St Lawrence river as the
artery through which should flow the
cereals and products to the mother
country. The problem has always been
how to land the products from this
country to England the cheapest, and it
seems to US that the problem is being
solved in the plans of Mr. Hays. Mr..
Deering spoke of the excellent facilities
for loading and unloading vessels and
said the work can be done here in less
time aud at less expense to the ship. than
at an other port in the country. Five
wears ago there were &c steamers touching
he1e. In the winter of 1879 g the number
was Increased to 81, and last year there
wers 81. These ships do not come to Port
land without leaving d good deal of
money. This money would not have bee n

Some star plays were made by both
teams. the work of Allen in the goal for
Burnham's team being especially bril-
liant. Whipple also showed himself up

siasts and time and again during the
evening there was the heartiest enthusi-

A Mountain Climbing Cat.

The Dent du Midi in the Valais
possesses a strange specimen of the
feline. This is cat which has lately
joined the Alpine club, and whose
mountaineering exploits are theme
for the sparse columns of Swiss news.
papers. The cat of the mountains
came upon the scene suddenly, and
no one knows from where. It had
already reached months Of discretion
when it took up its habitation and
profession in the mountain hospice,
and it is now to be seen most days at
the foot of the Dent du Midi, not far
from Satanic. Here this remarkable
tabby comes to meet the mountain.
GERS on their start, and follows them
in their ascent like dog-only dogs
do not as rule show any fancy fo1
the high Alps. It accompanies them
to the very summit, and shares the
climbers frugal fare. Indeed, it is
supposed to be for the sakes of the
broken fragments that the Alpine cat
makes its ascent.
Times have been bad for man and
beast in the pouring rains which have
very much dampened the autumn JOY
of the Swiss tourist in the Valais.
Perhaps even the cats find it hard to
make an honest living, but surely to
make daily ascent of 1856 metres fol-
the sake of a scauty lunch is to take
life too seriously. Oris it that in lordly
contempt Of the canine race the AMI.
NAL means one day to emulate the
faithful hound Of St. Bernard? The
cat it has been said, has never been
able to forget that once it was wor.

Farm Owned by One Family Since 1881.
Last Saturday morning J. E. So
gard received q remarkably interest
ing document from Christiania, Nor
way, and one which he prizes very
highly. Itcame from the Government
Museum at Christiania, and is an ex-
act copy Of two deeds Of very ancient
date, the original deeds having been
preserved and placed on exhibition in
the museum. The deeds are for a certain
farm which the Sogard family has
possessed for centuries and upon
which two Of his brothers-Simon. of
Webster City, and John, Of Iowa City
were born. The first deed is dated
July l, 1881, or more than 500 years
ago. A better realization of the age
of this deed is had when it is remem-
bered that the Sogard family was in
possession Of the farm more than 100
years before Columbus discovered
America, and it is probable that their
ownership dates much further back
than is shown b, this deed. The lat.
ter instrument was executed in 1913,
nearly seventy-ave years before the
landing Of the Pilgrim Fathers at
Plymouth. A gentleman from q
neighboring town tells the Troy
Times that he has seen the ancient
document alluded to, but was unable
to read it, as it is written in the Nor.
wegian language. He adds that tho
property is in the town Of Oalen, near
the town Of Hamar, and that the
largest city near the place is Chris.

When man wonders whyhe loves &
woman, he doesn't.
If you let an angry man alone, he
Twill cool off himself. se
Some men tell their wives everything

An ounce Of persuasion is better than

A woman never thinks,a man a fool

Patience is the supporter weakness,
Impotence is the ruin of strength.
Notwithstanding everybody

Life's pleasures, if not abused, will
