Edward Ware of Waterville, left
town, Tuesday, for a trip to his lumber
camps in MoXie township. He says
that he expects to cut, this winter, about
5000, 600 feet of lumber, of which 3,000,-
600 is for the Hollinsworth q Whitney
Co., for their Winslow mill. He is OPP
Grating in MoXie township and on Bald
mountain. The spruce which is to tc
cut for pulp wood is the thinning out of
a tract of very dense growth, which, it
is thought, will improve the growth of
the lumber left standing.
