A BRIGHT PROSPECT
For Maine numbering Operations Great Scar
city o! Experienced Woodsmen.

A Journal man had an interview
yesterday, with a man actively inter-
ested in numbering operations in this
State, concerning the present condition
and outlook for the winter business in
the woods. The general numbering
outlook in Penobscot and Piscataquis
counties seems unprecedented. There is
one difficulty however. Leading men
in the numbering business say that
never before in their experience have
they had the difficulty in securing men
and teams they are having this year.
one operative has imported a carload
of Poles and other foreigners from
Boston but they are not efficient
Woodsmen and can only be used for
swamping roads and shovellinS snow.
Experienced lumbermen are scarce and
rs u result they are commanding good
wages and have no excuse Tor being
idle. The concern mentioned above
has 10000 men in the woods this sea-
son and is making a speciality of get
ting out spool bars of white birch and
shipping them to Boston.
An immense amount OF poplar wood
was cut and ueclcd in the woods, last
summer. and it is now being hauled out
and shipped to the pulp mills. Inc de-
rnand upon the Bangor & Aroostook is
SO great that the lumbermcn are BOTH
cred about getting cars to ship their
product This fact alone speaks well
for the activity which is character
izing numbering operations, this winter
The pulp mills seem to furnish the
leading market for lumber. Not only
poplar, but spruce, hemlock, SCRUB
pine and fir, in fact every species OF
soft wood found in Maine woods is be-
ing utilized in the pulp mills.
There seems to be a little more IMAM
the usual demand for hard WOOD. a
great deal of oak is being cut IN the
western part of the State. mucn OF IL
going to the railroads to be used ioi
the construction of cars. A CONSIDER
able amount is also being used loi
flooring, etc.
There is just enough snow IN the
woods now to suit the lumbermen anu
of course the future prospect VIII ue-
pend largely upon the conditions tiia'
prevail. but according to all indications
the year will be a most successful one
in this great Maine industry.

present, and that the players met the
approval of the audience was shown
by the applause that was given them
throughout the evening. The drama
mas been presented in Augusta before,
out 1t has lost no interest on that ac-
count. and as it is brim full of situa-
tons that appeal to the patriotism of
every American, it cannot fail to meet
the approval of an audience, when
properly staged. as it was. last night.
The ability of the different members
OF the company in the Monday nights
presentation. won for them the favor
OF the audience, and the only cOmpli-
ment necessary for the work shown
last night, is to say that the feeling OH

balanced, in point of ability, that has
been seen in Augusta for some time,
