GREAT CHANGE =.
IN NUMBERING .
STYLE PREDICTED

That the method OF numbering in
Maine is to undergo a great change
within the next decade or so is the
prediction made by E. Lisherness, a
forest engineer of Bangor, who re-
Gently spoke before the members of
the Forestry club at the University of
Maine. He predicts that the logging
railroad, which for many years has
been recognized in other parts of the
country will soon be in common use
here, as a means of transporting raw
material from the operations.
This will be the method for the flu
ture where large amounts of lumber
are to be transported for quite a dis
tance." he told the members of the
club
In summing up the advantages OF
the use of logging railroad Mr.. Lish-
erness claimed for such a method re-
liability and cheapness of operation,
delivery of logs without loss from
breakage, a lower cost Of building and
operating than cost of dams and driv-
ing on small streams, a saving in haul
ing and toting and allows salvaging,
can be operated on narrower roads
than the log hauler now in use, an
ideal way to handle logs from yards to
point where large rivers and other
means of transportation are availa BILE.
Mr.. Lisherness advocated the ad-
visibility of all foresters studying
engineering, on account of the many
problems which require a knowledge
of that profession constantly arising in
connection with large numbering oper-
atoms.
He gave a valuable description of
the methods of estimating and map
ping timberlands.
Formerly timber cruisers as they
were called used to guess at the
amount of timber which was contained
on tract of land, then it became the
practice to divide the land into strips.
actually count the trees and approx
mate the whole in this manner, and
now the modern idea is to estimate
from actual measurement of approxi-
mately five per cent, of the whole
tract" he said.
He spoke highly of the excellent
work, which is being done by the
large pulp and paper concerns in
Maine towards the conservation of the
timberlands of the state. AT the pres
ent time, according to Mr.. Lisherness
they lead all timberland owners in this
respect, and he criticised the negli-
gence of some of the owners in allow
ing their lands to deteriorate in value
through injudicious cutting and incor-
rect methods.
At the close of his talk, which was
entirely informal and delivered before
the students of the Forestry club in
the library at the University. Mr.
Lisherness, who has had great deal
of experience in forest engineering, an
swered many questions and took an
active part in the discussion following
his address,
