Names Lumber Business.

Timber operators in Maine have cut
this year approximately 7OO0Oo,0Oo feet'
about the average cut. In addition to
the logs which have been cut this sea-
son there were many left over from
last year, so that the saw mills of the
State VIII haye plenty of work to Keep
them busy, as the snow has been slow
about melting this year. thus extending
the hauling season and giving an un-
usually good prospect for getting all
the logs to the mills. In some sections
usual, while in others it has been
somewhat larger than heretofore. The
market prices of the various grades of
lumber are a little stronger this year
than last, so it looks as though the
Maine lumber operators were to enjoy
a fairly prosperous season.
One noticeable feature of the timber
situation is the large percentage of
logs which have been cut for the man
uldCluIc vi pdpCI. oii'
third of the logs cut in Maine this year
will be ground into pulp for this pur-
pose, thus assuring the employees of
the various paper mills in the State
a season of activity. OF the 700,0O0,0 900
feet cut something like 200 1000, 900 feet
will be converted into paper and in
addition to this "a large amount OF
Canadian timber will also be used by
the Maine pulp and paper mills. One
concern has either cut or acquired APP
proximately 14O,000,00O feet of timber.
not counting 10000 cords of pulp wood
cut in four-foot lengths. This same
concern has employed during the past
winter about 1900 woodsmen, of whom
120G were employed on the Kennebec.
1t now has about 1000 river drivers az
work.
The Kennebec lumber cut amounts
TO about 1875, 100000 feet, of which more
than one fourth will be converted in
to paper This is a larger percentage
of the total cut than in any section of
the state except Aroostook, where the
cut is close to 17Q0O0,OOO feet, and the
Pcnobscot, on both branches of which
100000, 900 feet of logs have been cut.
These figures mean a vast amount of
wealth for the State of Maine, for the
drive and it will take at least 5000 riv-
er drivers to handle these logs. No
Inconsiderable sum will be spent in
wages for this purpose, to say nothing
of the men employed to handle the
logs after they arrive at their desti-
nations. Large numbers of horses are
required and these have to be fed and
cared for, furnishing employment to
more men and all the men and horses
have to eat, so that a market is ere
ated at the same time for a very re-
spectacle quantity of the products of
Maine farms. With mills starting up
on full or overtime, agricultural pro
ducts bringing good prices, with the
prospect of good crops, the lumber
business booming and the product
bringing a better price than ever. the
outlook for the Pine Tree State in the
year 1909 is certainly very encouraging.

employ quite a long time and had al
ways enjoyed an excellent reputation.
One day old Mr.. Wickersham, re-

entered his wife's bedroom and found
her gagged and bound and stretched
upon the bed. AS he was bending
over to release her he was felled by an
ak in the hands of the Chinaman, who
then deliberately cut him up in pieces,
the deliberation being shown by the
manner in which the cutting was per-
formed.

bonnd on the bed watching the dread
full dismemberment of her husband
going on, and unable to raise finger
or utter sound. This was proven at
the examination, which showed that

her death, because the thrust was a
vital one.

man, took such valuables as he could
