A GOOD SEASONS PROSPECT.
Kennebec Mill Owners Experiencing q
Season Of Prosperity.

The Kennebec ril owners who have
season of prosperity such as they have
not seen for years. They have advan-
tages which millmen on the Penobscot
and elsewhere in the State do not enjoy.
The Kennebec is the nearest to the big
markets of the navigable rivers. They
are also favored with an almost unfail
ing supply of water. While the Penob
scot is running low and the mills suffer
ing thereby. there is plenty of water in
the kennebec. owing to the great Moose
had lake storage basin where there IS
now three and one half feet of water
which would maintain the river to its
present height for six months or more.
The demand for lumber continues sharp,
and a'leading lumberman says sit is more
trouble to keep people from forcing orders
upon YOU than to sell it." Representa-
tives of several of the large lumber yards
of southern New England have lately Wis
tied the kcnnebec to make contracts for
late fall delivery but they have not met
with much success and a number have
gone east to see what they can do there.
These yards are looking after stocks for
their spring custom. The season in that
section opens in March Il month earlier
than in Maine. and as not much lumber
can be obtained by water from the mills
before May. the yard owners are anxious
to lay in a supply.
But eight mills have been running on
the river this season. all of which have
done an extensive business and made
money. The owners of but three. NJ. q.
Shaw, Lawrence Bros. and the Augusta
Lumber Co. will probably carry over
supply of logs for early spring saving
the other mills manufacturing all their
logs. Even higher prices are looked 70"

piece Of wood as a souvenir. He learned
that the tree was a date palm and that it
had been brought from beside a Catholic
church in San Diego. Cal. The tree was
an historical one from the fact that Il
was imported to this country by the
Spanish mission fathers in 1868 and this
particular one was planted beside the

count of its beauty and historical asso-

was at work on q thorough guide to the

would publish for free distribution. The
work was to be paid for by the advertis =
ing that would be secured for it. Thu
work of this sort is expensive and sev
eral thousand dollars would be needed.
The advertising agent of Mr.. Carleton
was Game Warden Nichols and he found
little trouble in securing the contracts for
advertising space.
Since that time Mr.. Carleton and men
in his employ have been at work on the
book and now just as it is about com
pleted. there are two other concerns in
the State of Maine who have grappcd
upon his idea and are launching books
upon the public view that do not contain
so much. but are advertised as greatly
