STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Next Meeting Of Governor and Council,

| joining SectIOIl. III company with "A. IL.
Ames. a well known Machias lumber
man, returned to Augusta Saturday
night. and was at his desk in the de-
| partment Monday. Mr.. Sargent said
that during their stay in the woods the
| weather was more like summer than
the latter part of January The river
was open for the greater part of its
length, and there was no snow in the
woods during their stay. They started
into the lumber camps with a pung.
and with the exception of Il few places
where there was a little ice in the road
which allowed them to scrub along.
they were obliged to walk about half
| the distance. The lack of snow in the
| woods had seriously mterfered with
| the work of hauling, and from Jan. %
| up to Saturday, the operators had not
| hauled log. The storm of Friday,
however although the fall in that sec
| tionS was less than it was in Au-
guSta, probably helped out little, and
| MIR. Sargent was of the opinion that
| hauling was resumed. The cut of
| lumber, which includes pine, spruce
and hemlock. on the Machias river this
| winter will be about the average. which
| is between 10000, 900 and 1900. 900 and
of this amount perhaps One-half has
been landed, and much snow is needed
| in order to get the remainder out.
