G. F. Watson Sells Timber Interests.

A big timber deal was closed here last
sold his fve-sixteenths interest in the
lumber business of Coleman & Watson,
owners of the Clapp lands timber in Tio-
nesta township, to John f. Mccormick
and Thomas X. Harter, of Lock Haven,
Pa. G. F. and ii. II. Watson and John
Coleman, of Williamsport, Pa, purchased
the Clapp timber on August l., 1911, the
purchase consisting of tracts 2S22 and
2S27, comprising 2, ,l40 acres. The timber
on these tracts consisted principally Of
virgin pine, upon which the woodman's
ak had never been laid, although there is
also much hemlock and hardwood. 1t
was in fact the only pine timber tract left
in this section that had up to this time
been left untouched. The purchase price
then was close to $40 900, but the price in
the present deal is not made public.
During the past year Coleman IL Watson
purchased the Lincoln Oil Co. tract of 1870
acres at the mouth of Johns run, a
mile and half up Tionesta creek, where
they have puilt and have ready to run a
very modern saw mill plant, with a
seven-mile railroad into the timber
tracts. Mr.. Coleman retains his half in
terest in the property, and Harry ii.
Watson, who holds three-sixle xleenths
interest, will continue as manager of the
business. 1t is expected that manufac-
turing will begin in short time. 1t is
probable that the firm name will be
slightly changed.

The planting of adult fish for propagation
purposes Is new 10 this latitude up TO a
year ago when the head OF the State
hstcheries decided that the practice OF
planting fry was only furnishing food for
bigger fish and he decided to plant no
fish that were not ready to spawn or which
are not big enoDgh to take care of them.
selves. The 6rst test of this experiment
locally was early in the spring when a
large number Of adult trout were planted
In nearby streams. Many of these were
no doubt taken out by fishermen but
enough remained in the streams to ensure
perfect restocking OF the waters In
which they have their quarters.
