The days OF new maple sugar are
rapidly drawing nigh and soon there will
be busy times in the "sugar bush." Time
was when Forest county produced much
of this delicious sweetness and the in
haLitsnts OF the neighbol hood adjacent to
the unhroken forests gathered sap from
the great naples that intersperccd the
hemlocks, but the lumberman's ruthless
onslaught has changed all that, and few
gallons of the syrup and a very little
sugar, and that only for family coDsump-
tion, now marks the limit of production.

Lumber company, OF which our former

purchased tract OF the old Irvine estate
for the purpose OF cutting of the timber
but later decided to drill we'll. The we'll
started at thirty barrels per day and al
though 1t is now a month old is still pro-
duciug better than twenty barrels per
day.

supply became weaker and the supposi-
tion was that water was drowning out the
gss. Mr.. Shoup rigged up derrick and
started bsiler down and to bis surpr'e
brought oil instead of water. The baier
was kept busy and emptied into tank
and l3 barrels of oil were secured. This
territory will now be tested. d.-Marienville
