The risks that one Augusta citizen
takes each day in gathering drift wood
from the river just above the kennebec
bridge draws to him the attention of no
small number of people from buildings
of that section on both sides of the river,
and many of them wonder at the risks
he takes. in view of the small value Of
the wood secured. The ice near the east
shore. where his operations are carried
on. is pretty much broken UP, although
there are some good-sized sheets, and IS
daily changing position; but notwitll-
standing the chances of a ducking and
perhaps a trip under the ice are good,

such as the riverdrivers use makes his
way about over the cakes, large and
small, and with the aid of the pickpole
picks the wood from the water. Yes

working the day before it was all open

He told of conditions he found on the
farm when he moved there. He said
that bitches had been dug which in
jured the farm n he had been OBJ
liged to carry away rocks from one of
these bitches and he testified that he
had found no fields seeded down. He
said that time passed in burning hawk
weed was wasted and that the proper
way to take care of it was to plough
1t under.
He had seen practically no evidence
OF any improvements made on the
farm by Mr.. Gordon. He testified that
Mr.. Gordon had ~ploughed several small
fields, anywhere from one acre to three
acres, and he did not consider that a
practical way to handle a farm. Wit
ness thought that Mr.. Gordon had de-
creased the value of the farm during
his three years of occupancy. Witness
judged that $4,000 feet of lumber had
been cut from the farm while Mr.. Cor
don was there. He sale thai in 1916 he
cut about 80 tons of hay on the farm
and that he then had about 10 acres
ploughed up. Witness said that Mr..
Gordon had told him that he got a
good fair crop while he was on the
farm, a good crop of corn and peas.
Mr.. Parker considered hat 500 per
year with taxes and insurance was a
fair rental for the farm.
Upon cross-eXamination by Attorney
Heselton, witness said he had bought
the farm from Mr.. Hutchins and that
the trees bore good fruit.
The last witness Of the day was
James Burns of Whftefeld. who testi-
fled that Mr.. Gordon had told him he
liked the place and liked the location
there.

regarding the going out of the ice in
the Kennebec river is now in circula-

from April 9 to April IA, according to
