REDUCED LUMBER
CUT ON THE ST. JOHN
Bangor Commercially

That the lumber cut on the St. John
river waters will he 40 per cent be-
low normal this season is the opinion
of prominent Bangor lumberman
who is interested in large holdings in
northern Maine. 1t was off % per
cent last year and a further decreas Sc
is looked for this season. The low
market and small demand for lumber
is the chief cause.
The operators should be getting I'M
der way there" said he, but thus far
know of none who have commenced
operations. 1t may he that they are
waiting for the millmen to indica te
what they will need but At this time
in Other years the camps have usually
been started.
Il cannot see where there will he
more than so per cent. OF the normal
cut this season if the operators cut the
way they are planning and talking.
now.
There is little or no demand for
lumber and the operators are piling
up manufactured lumber in the mill
wards the shipments being unusually
light"
The logs which were hurg-up on the
ST. John below the mouth Of the Allie
cash have been moved. hut the several
millions of logs which We're held at
Seven Islands and above because of
low water. are still there, or were at
last reports, and will probably remain
there until the fall freshets when it is
the river.
There has been little or no rain in
that section Of the state this summer,
notwithstanding the super abundance
that the weather man has delivered in
other parts of the state and conse
uuently there is grave danger of fall
forest fires The patrols and look
outs of the forest fire service are con-
stantlv on the alert to detect and con-
troll fires before they have spread.
That the situation is considered
more or less serious is shown in a
letter from one Of the chief wardens
in northern Aroostook county. who
writes from Guerette, a settlement on
Long lake, which is part of the Fish
river waters. that there has been no
brain since the last of August. 1T is
getting pretty dry in the woods" he
writes, and there is danger of fires. -
His men put out two small fires on
Long lake. which were started by fish
ing parties, which would undoubtedly
have done a great deal of damage had
they been allowed TO get a start.
Fishermen and hunters going into
the woods at the present time, and
particularly in the northern part of
the state are urged to be most careful
with their fires.

that in some cases only a comparative

reach the concentration camps alive.
Henry Morgenthau. American ambas-

and that a number of young Armenian
