A few weeks ago we published the
statement that party of capitalists
had purchased large tract of land
in the very heart of the Adirondack
wilderness, with the intention of
building line of saw mills through
out the region and converting the
magnificent forests into timber. A
good deal of indignation was mani
tested at the time, but it would ap-
pear that nothing has been done to
prevent the dissertation, for we learn
that arrangements are now nearly
completed for the building of a
branch railroad from the Chateaugay
line to the mills, by which the lum-

this project of wholesale destruction
of our beautiful and famous nationa
