Portland in Maine was founded in

about $4,000. Portland in Oregon
was settled by two Down East men
in 1S45. and named for the Maine
city, and the census shows it has
about $4,000. The Maine city had
big fire on July 4 1866, which de-
stroyed about s10,O0O,O0O worth Of
property and the Oregon city had a
big fire in 1872 and another in 1873.
