Reports Of Operations and the Annual
Cut.

The news from the Mai le woods is to the
effect that while in some sections lumbermen
have suspended work, in others numbering
op fations are being prosecuted under very
fal Jrable conditions. The returns, how
ever, are showing the decrease occasioned
BY the late fall rains and the early spring
The cut on the Kennebec will be barely
100000, 900 feet, which will be 25 ,000, 600
less than last year and 80, ,0o0, 900 less than
the year before.
Along the west branch of the Penobscot,
the hauling was never better than at present
and the operators there are thus enabled to
harvest larger quantity than was generally
anticipated. The cut on the Penobscot
waters This winter may be estimated at 1922
900 600 feet, woods scale. This divided
about as follows West Branch, 43 600, 600 !;
East Branch, 80 000, 900; Mstiawamkeag,
10000 600; Piscatsquis, 1000 900 and
Passadumkesg and other tributaries, 10, 0,00o,-
900.
Attention of the lumbermen is now turned
towards the prospects for the driving of the
logs The low condition of the streams for
the season is giving them no little anxiety.
