WATCH TOWER ON MT. KINEO

Up on the top of Mt. Kineo in the
Moosehead lake region is being erected
what is supposed to be the finest watch
tower for fire purposes in the world
State Forest Commissioner F. H. Colby
has just returned from a trip to the
Moosehead country and while there the
final steps for the erection of the lookout
were completed.
There are other places in Maine where
tire Wardens have more lofty perches,
but there is no place where the tower it
self is so stable or so conveniently built
The steel used is twice as heavy as that
used for any other tower. Instead of
reaching the top by a ladder, as with
other towers, there are convenient steps
ascending to the top of this lookout so
that summer visitors who go to that re-
glon may have chance to go the top
and secure view of the magnificent
panorama.
Although there has been a lookout sta
ton at the top of Mt. Kineo for eight
years, no attempt was made to erect a
tower there until Commissioner Colby
came into office. The tower is a Joint
affair, and because of that, the State is
securing at much less cost, a better
tower than is usually erected for purposes
OF this kind. The material is being paid
for by the State, the Boston & Maine and
Maine Central railroads are transporting
it to its destination, the Kicker Hotel
company has taken it to the mountain
and is boarding the workmen and the
Kennebec Valley Protection association is
paying for the labor.
The work of erection is in charge of
John S. Straw of Lewiston. Moosehead
lake itself is 1000 feet above the level of
the sea and Mt. Kineo towers 800 feet
higher. The tower itself is 40 feet high
with the most modern kind of house on
top and cozy dwelling at the base. The
station is in charge of Chief Fire Warden
Louis Cakes of Greenville, while Melvin
S.kBlethen of Foxcroft is the watchman.
