The insignificant position or rcla.
tive size usually given TO the great
State Of Maine Is compared 10 the
other states OF the Union on railroad
maps gives very little idea OF the
vast territory OF this great State,
every aero Of which Is productive and
habitablo, The Industrial Journal
says:
"a Maine lumberman estimates
that the wild lands OF this state
would make thirteen states as large
rs Rhode Island, two as large as New
HampshIe and Ne!mont, and one
twice as large rs Massachusetts,. These
lands are located In the following
counties. ArOOstoOk, >, S3S, ,6lS acres;
Franklin, 80, 9B2 acres; Hancock, 362,-
SOB acres; oxford, 553, 65I acres;
Pcnobscot, S27,5Oi acres; Plcataquis,
2.OOO,4i4 acres; Somerset, l,735, s3S
acres; Wash ngton, G24, 1919. The
spruce timber lands Of Maine are
worth more to-day than the pine
lands afty years ago. This state
ment is based on the opinion Of lum-
bermen who have been engaged In
the business for forty years. The
value OF these lands has been greatly
enhanced by the enormous demand
for pulp wood.
