Boston.-Clara Sumson, who has
earned the title Of "the Lumber Queen

after a busy and successful season.

ufacuring business in the face OF Keen
competition. She has had many inter
esting encounters with leading lumber
barons Of Aroostock. but so compre-
hensive is her knowledge OF Maine s
lumber resources and so accurate Is
her estimate OF men that she seldom
comes of second best in her deals.
She will start mp her mills again In
the spring and expects TO manufacture
as much. If not more, lumber than in
1906.
Miss Sumson's mills az Smyrna
Mills and Limerick saw long lumber
laths and shingles. She has a compe-
tent crew Of men at each place, but
drives from her home here in Houlton
almost every day personally TO over
see operatlons. Some Of the logs
which are converted into lumber at
these mills are cut on her own TIM
Der land in New Limerick township.
A few years ago Miss Sumson built

which might well have startled into
terror a woman of mature years aud

the narrative she injected many little
touches Of a young girls hopes and dis

Plttsburg TO Philadelphia to secure as

Howard-the brother has been In court

his slster-were placed on a train by
friends and sent on 10 their mother.
She recalled that the two little travel
ers had trouble with the conductor
who wanted TO put their cat ont Of the

In the great fire which swept over
Houlton two years ago Miss Stmson,
with most Of her noighbors, lost her
dwelling house and many OF her be-
longlngs. She has recently built a new
house on one Of the principal reslden-
