trees as these in Deane's grove.
But a Gardiner citizen no longer
owns the oaks, which have come into
the possession of M. j. Mccormick, a
Kennebec lumberman, and he pur-
chased the property chiefly to become
owner of the trees, not because of their
beauty as a grove, but because hard
wood is very valuable timber. Since his
purchase of the grove he has had many
offers for the oaks as piling for bridge
building, railroad work and shore
wharf construction. Up to now he has
refrained from telling these oaks for
two reasons: His crews have been
busy with his portable mills in other
localities and he has granted more time
to Gardiner people, at their earnest
appeal. to enable them to save the
grove for a city park
That Mr.. Mccormick will not very
much longer desist from converting
Deane's grove oaks into money in COM
mon with other Gardiner people

railroads nave been seeking these
oaks for ties and other material Once
return to the owner the price he paid
and yield handsome profit beside
leaving him many good house lots on
the land.
That the destruction of the grove
would be municipal calamity every
body agrees, but that they cannot
blame Lumberman Mccormick, who
has patiently waited Gardeners action
the fairminded will also agree.
