The sudden freezing of the river Penob-
scot above Oldtown has caused heavy loss
and much Inconvenience to the lumber OPP
orators by freezing the logs in the river be-
fore they had been run to winter quarters
where they would be safe from the freshets
and ready for use on the opening of the river.
1t will cost large sum to haul the logs oat
