Gov. Powers was at one time the
owner of a principality in the wild
lands of northerr Maine. including
some of the finest timber lands in the
State. He owned between $4,000 and
10000 acres, of which $4,000 were in
Aroostook county, 10000 in Somerset.
and the remainder in Penobscot 1t is
understood that practically all of his
wild land holdings have been sold Off
in recent years, although he had other
large holdings in Aroostook county.
He at one time remarked that when
he made his Investments in timber
lands he had no idea that they would
prove as profitable as they finally did.
His friends told him he was making Il
mistake in investing so much i'll wild
lands.
"At one time" said the Governor,
three or four men came to me and
asked for an option on my lands for
a certain time fer a price which was
named / gave the option. When the
time expired they came to me and sad
that it had been their plan to form a
syndicate and purchase the lands for
an investment, but that they could not
find men who believed thatthe invest
ment was a safe one. Not long after
wards 1 sold part Of my holdings
for several thousands Of dollars more
than the price / had fixed Tor the
men who wanted the option. And,
added the Governor, 'if l had kept the
lands a few months longer l could
have realized several thousands OF dol
lars more. The value of timber lands
was enhanced by the building OF the
big pulp and paper mills, and other
causes Those who bought Wild Janus
years ago had no idea that they We're
to become so valuable. In my opinion
any persons who say that they looked
ahead and saw that this class OF prop
erty was to become of such immense

who bought timber lands played in
good luck.
