The Great Northern controls prac-

to land this timber at Seboomook falls

The prodigality which is character

is evidenced in this big undertaking.
Nhen It was determined to undertake
the building of the vast lake which is

The construction of the dam meant
the transport of great quantity of
material and supplies and the print

hard passage for tote-teams.
The word was given that a new
road must be built from Seboomook.
the Moosehead lake port to the falls.
Immediately the order was sent forth
and engineers, woodsmen. artisans.
teamsters and cooks descended on the
strip between Moosehead and the
Penobscot's west branch. Wangans
were thrown up, tents erected, and
temporary shelters for the horses
were devised. There was no more
confusion than when an invading ar

A couple of wangans were located on
the route of the new road, and a third
on the shore just beside the dam.
Then men, horses and traction en-
gines set to work. Late in June the
one of the finest stretches of road to
be found in Maine. Timber has been
cut down, great lodges blasted and
small woods streams have been filled

ceeded $4,000, the building of the dam
would have been impossible New
supplies are sent from Seboomook as
eXpeditiously as over city streets.
While the road was being construct

the timber from the territory which
will soon be submerged. One island, a

Moosehead has two northern extremi-
ties-Northwest and Northeast Car
ries Both are about 40 miles from

Seboomook has long been known to
sportsmen as the gateway to prime
fishing and hunting region. Since the
Great Northern Paper Company chose
it for one of it's chief bases for lum-
bering it has doomed large in impor-

to much greater distinction than it
ever could have attained as a sports

Seboomook is in the heart of the

centre of operations by the paper
company. Three miles from Seboo-
nook in the West Branch of the Pen

PROPERTY IS EXEMPT
FROM DRAINAGE TAX
This IS Gist of Opinion Civ
EN- by County Attorney
to Treasurer.

County Attorney /. e. Wiley ZEN
dered an opinion to County Treasurer
Fred c. Bassett Saturday morning to
the effect that the attorneys office
does not deem that the sale Of prop
crty for delinquent drainage tax for
1911 in the northwestern drainage dis
trict advisable. The opinion was reu-
dered in view Of the recent ruling OF
the supreme court that the drainage law
is unconstitutional.
When the supreme court handed down
its opinion on the drainage law the
county attorney advised those persons
in the northwestern drainage district
who had not already paid the 1911 tax
not TO do so. This brought about com
plicntions in the treasurer g office and
Mr.. Bassett desired to know what ac-
tiop his office should take IN the mat
ter and how his office could be re-
lieved of liability in the matter.
The county attorney says that under
the law the assessment would be erron-
eous, IN that the law is held invalid,
and the treasurer can deduct the
amount Of the drainage tax from the
general taxes upon the payment of the
same. In the event that the taxes have
been paid, Mr.. Wiley says that the
county commissioners, under the law,
may order refund.

EXHIBIT HAS BEEN
NO WISE NEGLECTED
Manufacturers Association
Merely Desires to Make Dis
play More Representative.

In connection with the proposed trans
fer OF the Chamber OF Commerce exhibit
in the Vermont building from the Manu-
facturers association to the Utah Devel-
opment league the officials OF the former
organization declare that the transfer
will be made entirely at their own pro-
posal and not because Of any failure In
conducting the exhibit in the past.
D. T. Collett, secretary of the Manu-
facturers association, said yesterday that
1t has long been planned to turn the eE-
hibit over TO some body more generally
representative of the state than the
Manufacturers association can hope TO
be-
''The proposal that the league assume
control Of the exhibits was made by the
Manufacturers association FIRST" said
Mr. Collett. 1--WE told the league COM
mittee that the manufacturers associa-
tlon represented but one industry in the
state and that 1t had been an extremely
difficult matter TO interest other lines OF
industry TO help In maintaining proper
exhibits"
For about two years the manufacturers
have maintained the entire exhibit un-
aided with the exception OF an appropria-
tlon by the state, Under their control
the exhibition has grown from an eX-
ceedingly small beginning TO large lnlpor-
tance and is now representative Of almost
the entire state.

WINTER HAS RECORD
FOR STEADY COLD
Some Other Years Had Colder
Days, but Thaws Quick
ly Followed.

With yesterdays rise ID temperature
to minimum Of 23 degrees and q
maximum of 81 degrees, the "back
bone Of the cold spell that has pre-
vailed was practically broken. Off
cials of the local weather bureau ex
press confidence that the coolest period
Of the year is about to close. The
mean temperature Of the day was 2e
degrees. which is normal for this time
Of the year under the schedules In eff
feet at the weather bureau.
Since October last freezing weather
has prevailed in Salt Lake, which
means that the mean temperature each
day was 30 degrees or less. The figure
has maintained an average we'll below
the freezing point, The most serious
effect of the cold was evidenced in
frozen pipes and plumbing systems
many of which were placed out Of com
mission through the unwaTiness OF res
idents
While the temperature here has fal
len much lower in previous years than
the minimum recorded this season, the
winter of lS97-IS9S is the only season
on record that nearly equaled that OF
the present year for duration Of cold
weather.
The lowest temperature in the hlstoy
of the local weather bureau WAS re
corded January 20, 1883, when the mer-
curry fell TO 60 degrees below zero. On
January Is. 1855, the minimum tcm'
perature was II degrees below zero
On February Is, 1884. the temperature
at minimum was Is degrees below zero
and on February 6, 1899, the mercury
sank to 10 degrees below zero, Since
the year 1905, when the minimum tenn
perature was degrees below zero on
February 10. the mercury has not fal
len to the zero point. The cold spell
lust ending is the most severe recorded
in the interim, with the exception OF
one day, January ,. 1910, when the
temperature was ] degree.
While the coldest season of the year
1910 came during February. weather
officials are Of the opinion that the
last few iays will prove the coldest
this year. On January !, last Mon
dav. the minimum temperature was l2
degrees. On the days following, 10

10, 8. 7, II and 23 degrees, respective
