possession of all that tract of land and a
large water privilege, the old Duncan proper
ty being the only part which they we're un-
able to procure, but still on that part even
they have the privilege of storing logs. The
firm which has taken possession of this pro-
perty has formerly been in the same business
in Aroostook county where they are ia pos
session of an immense tract of timber land.
Their idea in coming here is to set up large
steam mill in which they can manufacture all
kinds of logs into boards and other uses.

up 500 logs in a day and they will be turned
into boxes, clapboards, pickets and all such
things for which wood can be used. A work.
