ester a. +. Halves and B. A. Chandler
have just returned from Huntingdon
where they have been looking over a
tract of land about 1900 acres in ex-
tent, adjoining the state. forest on
Camel s Hump. Mr.. Halves has secured
an option on the tract and has recon-
mended to Governor Gates that the
state purchase the same. There is much
valuable timber, consisting principally
of spruce and birch, on the land, prac-
tically none of which has been burned
over, which would soon be cut off if
the state did not make the purchase,
so for this reason it is desirable to buy
the tract now. If this is done, it would
make the total area of the Camel s
Hump state forest over 5000. 1t is
also of considerable Importance to pro
teet the two or three streams which
have their source. on this tract. The
tract is near some of the property left
by Colonel Battell to Middleburv col
lege.
