WAereCy cars are set on and off the
wharf by both the Portland Terminal
Company and the Grand Trunk Rail
way, without charge.
The most modern of sheds are to
be built on the new pier, one of
which, that located on the eastern
side, Il to be 500 feet long by 30 feet
in width. of which one SOC foot sec
t is to be two stories in height
and built especially for handling the
immense trans Atlantic passenger
business which goes to Portland, es-
pecially during the winter months.
There will be up-to- the-minute ia
cilities for handling passengers with
full provisions for their inspection by
the health, immigration and customs
rvices Of the United States There
is already one shed constructed and
in operation for the New York steam
ers, 60 by 900 feet. with floor area
of 1900 square feet and another 60
by $50 feet for the Boston steamers
with a floor area of 22,S00 square
feet. The total floor area Of the sheds
will be 13S,G00 square feet.
The equipment of the pier will in
clude inclined dock elevators for hand
ling cargoes to and from ships with
side ports. cargo beams for burton
ing" cargo from and to ocean going
ships, a crane for handling heavy car
go, and electric tractors and pliers
and wa ehouse tractors for handling
CARGO within the pier sheds
The port directors have also ar
RANGED with the Grand Trunk Rail
way so that conve-er galleries
will be built onto TIE new State Pier
connecting with the two irmersH
Grain elevators owned by tfat system
so that these structures WI be made
ava liable for the State Pier and It
will thus be possible to handle ""a IN
frcm them OF the State Pier lust as
easily as il is now at any of the
Grand Trunk wharTes.
Statistics show that the majority
of state riers have proven to he 4
wonder investment for 'he states
that have constructed them. but ex-
perts declare that no publicly owned
pier has a brighter outlook than the
one now being built at Portland by
the State of Maine

cipal facts about this immense pup
lie enterprise should, therefore, prove
of interest to everyone in the Pine
Tree State 1t is to be 1000 feet in
length, and will be, in every way, the
peer of Piers" along the entire
Maine seacoast, and will be uneX-
celled by any other or the Atlantic
seaboard. 1t will be 144 feet wide
at it's outer end, 240 feet at the
point where the New York steam
ers dock, and 320 feet at the point
where the Boston steamers berth
The total area Of the immense struc-
ture, including land approach and
pier is to be seven and a half acres,
and it's total cost will be $1,500,000
of which the City of Portland gave
outright, by donating the site nearly
one fourth or $350,000
Any ship that floats may be docked
at this pier, for it has 35 feet of wa
ter at mean low tide on it's eastern
side, and from 35 to 90 feet on its
western side On it's eastern side it
could easily dock end to end, two
average freight ships, for very few
of them run over 500 feet in length.
On the other hand, however the pier

Atlantic liners which are now cross
ing the ocean, several of which run
to Portland in winter, and 1t has
also been built to handle the antici-
pated increase in the size OF the
ships Of the future. It's south end
ia 144 feet across. and this may be
utilized for docking smaller craft g.
while it's west side is able to handle
Coastwise boats ranging in length
from 800 feet down.
The pier has been admirably plan
ned so far as traffic is concerned
and every railroad running into Port
land can send its cars down onto it
and the freight in them may be dis
charged directly into the ships lying
alongside the wharf. On the other
hand the cargoes OF the ships may
be discharged directly into freight
cars, thus saving very heavy trans
portation costs by reducing loading
charges to minimum. In all. ITO
freight cars may be stored on the
State pier, and arrangements have
been made by the pier directors

ANOTHER HUNTING FATALITY.
PenObscot County Man Killed by Son
in Hancock County,


Harvey Chubbuck Of Carroll, Pc
nobscot county, was shot and killed
Saturday forenoon by his son, Hal
sea Chubbuck, aged twentyseven
years, who mistook his father for a
deer. The son claimed after the
shooting that he had jumped deer
just before his father stepped from
behind a tree.
The tragedy occurred in township
4 in Hancock county, a very short
distance over the line of Penobscot
county The big game season was
prolonged for Hancock and Wash
ington counties until December Is,
but hunting is restricted to residents
of those counties. Mr.. Chubbuck
and his son were both residents of
Penobscot county, and it is therefore
apparent that the son was hunting
for game contrary to law. 1t is not
known yet whether the father was
out hunting also or was on business.
Mr.. Chubbuck was a well-known
sub-cOntractor in woods operations,
having been engaged in getting out
ties for some time. He was fifty-five
years of age, and was a widower.
Sheriff Fernandez of Penobscot
county was notified of the shooting
on Saturday forenoon and instruct
ed deputy to investigate the case.
Upon finding that the tragedy oc-
Cured in Hancock county the case
was turned over to Sheriff w. w.

The new State of Maine Pier being
erected at the port of Portland. and
which it is believed will save the
people of Maine many hundreds of
thousands of dollars in lower freight
rates. better deliveries. increased
transportation service, and more
favorable opportunity to reach the
markets OF the world, is rapidly near
ing completion. 1t was originally
hoped to have the big structure
year, but delays in getting steel and
other materials, due to strikes and
other causes beyond the control Of
the port directors, have advanced the
date of completion to early in 1923,
possibly February or March.
The pier, however, is doing busi-
ress, Notwithstanding the fact that
it is long way from being finished.
Thea Eastern Steamship Lines, Inc,
is using it for it's regular Boston and
New York services, and numerous
other ships have already tied up to
it and discharged cargoes. In fact.
few state owned piers have brighter
outlook for future business than the
one now being constructed by the
State Of Maine at the port of Port
land Already the annual income Of
the pier is averaging in the neigh
borhcod Of s25,O0O, and this will be
greatly increased as more of it is
finished and becomes available for
use. A very interesting fact in con-
nection with the pier is that all Of the
present business has been obtained
without advertising. and there is,
therefore every reason to believe
that when it's advantages begin to be
exploited throughout both the cas-
tern and western hemispheres that
its business will increase by leaps
and bounds.
Apparently the majority ot the peo
pie OF Maine know comparatively
little a'olt the great structure which
they a. building and which it is be-
lieved. wiN prove so helpful to every
one OF 70 IS counties of the State,
