COLD WAVE WILL
START THE WORK
Of NUMBERING

Greenvile, Me. Dec. S-Today's cold
has brought relief to the army OF lumber
men in the Maine woods by solving for
them the transportation problem. The
lack OF a sufficient number OF cold days,
when lakes and swamp bottoms have not
had opportunity to freeze over solidly has
caused a serious situation among the lum-
bermen.
Moosehcad lake is closed TO navigation
for six months. but up to the present
time the ice has not been thick enough
for teams To cross and "a large quantity of
supplies are piled up here, which have
been needed for several days at big camps
30 miles TO the north.
The first fall OF snow buried the swamps
20 a depth OF eight inches and prevented
the soft bottoms from freezing over i'm
the comparatively mild weather OF Mo-
V,mber. This not only has nearly par
alyzed the transportation OF supplies but
has tied up log-hauling operations and
several OF the larger concerns have not
been able TO move a stick of timer.
The present cold snap should start all
operations in full swing. The new Som
erset railroad expects 10 have it's line be-
tween Oakland and Birch Point complet-
ed in about two weeks and IL Is expected
will aid greatly in the development of a
vast tract OF timber land.
