frank Fits, who has recently become
largely interested in hardwood lum mber-
ing on Union river, plans next summer
to locate portable saw mill near Great
Pond. 1t was originally planned to set
up he mill at once, but the early break
up has changed this. The purpose OF
he mill is to split the hardwood logs
once through the centre, SO that they
will season quicker and swim better in
The drives. II is proposed now to set up
the mill next summer, ready to begin
saving about September. Hardwood logs
will tie hauled to the saw, split, and then
left to season until spring when they will
be driven to Ellsworth. There are pros
poets of good seasons business in hard
wood next year.

tion ran high, the reality of the evenings
entertainment and instruction exceeded
