A GREAT SCHEME.
Ocean Pier, IammOuth Railway
Station and Big Hotel at Fish Poant.

The Boston & Maine railroa has been
endeavoring for some time, so it is stated,
to induce the Grand Trunk railroad to
com bins with them in building a big
passenger station at the foot of Preble st.
The Grand Trunk, as it is known, intends
to abandon It's passenger station at the
foot of India street and build a new one
somewhere else but it has not been de-
cided Just where this new station is to be
located. The reason for the delay of the
GRIND Trunk In combining with the
Boston & Maine in the union station at
the foot Of Preble street is said to be be-
cause of a project which General Mana
ger Hays is considering and which it is
said he would like to put into execution.
General Manager Hays is a great believer
in the future of Portland not only as a
trans Atlantic shipping point for the
winter business but also as a summer re-
sort. 1t is said that he would like to see
built at the foot of Congress street be-
Meath Munjoy hill big Grand Trunk
passenger station, a large and beautiful
hotel and pier for the summer
stearnbo business where might be CEN
tered all or the summer steamboat bust
ness OF the Casco bay.
Mr.. Hays's idea, so it has been rumored
is to construct sort of two decked pas
senger station at the foot of Congress
street. On the upper dock, so to speak,
he would have the street cars run and
there discharge their passengers, The
cars would also run out over the upper
deck of the big pier with their passen-
gers who wished to take boats for any of
the Casco Bay resorts. On the hill above
the station would be built a mammoth
hotel, not of the summer hotel variety
but substantial building in keeping
INTELLECTUALLY with the beauties
of the location. This hotel would be large
enough to accommodates a great many
people in the summer time and would be
so arranged that in ths winter only one
wing Of it would be used for business
while the rest OF the hotel could be
closed.
| This idea would be a great thing for
the city of Portland, so many people be
| lieve, and those who have heard of this
plan are hoping that it may be carried
| out,

One of the pleasantest events Of the sea-
son in this vicinity was the reunion of

ters in the party. all of whom were or1g1-
nally Jordans of Cape Elizabeth, and 1t

ter. Mrs. Frances e. Wheeler, that the
reunion was held. The other sisters IN

Mrs. Hiram Brown, Mrs. Clement
Small OF Willard and Mrs. Hiram Staples

Mr.. Walter Phillips of Turner. Mr.. John

Upon arrival at the hall the party

The forenoon was enJoyably passed by
the party in strolling about revisiting
old familiar places and scenes and
stroIling about the beach, and noon all
formed in line and to the stirring strains
of march passed into the banquet
hall where fine banquet had been pre-
pared. After all had done justice to the
fine repast the party split up in groups
and amused themselves in various ways,
some fishing on the rocks, others stroll
ing about, including a visit to the two
lights and the life saving station. The
party assembled in the hall about
O'Clock in the afternoon where mann
mouth reunion cake, in the form of a
pyramid, made by Mrs Albert Loveitt,

was followed by music and singing old
familiar songs.
About 6 O'Clock the party started for
home after giving three hearty cheers or
Mr.. Otis Wheeler and his wife, who
were untiring in their efforts to make the
reunion perfect success, and If words

It's the same way with the little
conqueror and the public; people want
to know what has been done.
Honolulu people are joining the
myriads of others in making public the
work of this ittle modern wonder and
what your neighbors say should con-
vince the skeptic. The endorsement
of citizens is the proof that goes wi, h
every box OF Doan's Backache Kidney
