Sulliyau, Delaware and Orange, IN New York,

proportions The woods are as drJ rs timber,
the rain not seeming TO penetrate the bcdhcd
leaves and dry NOSES in which The least spark
starts disastrous fire. Villages, nIis, tan.

with millions of feet Of lumber, innumcrabIe
cords of wood and bark, thousands Of railroad
