the very serious inroads being MADE
into the spruce forests OF CANADA.
Maurice Nelson of the Belgian In
dustrial Co.. Ltd, said that his COM
pany had carried on very successful
experiments with the jack pine. under
both the sulphite and ground wood
processes. He also pointed out that
the Canadian supply is large and that
the tree reaches commercial size
some 40 years earlier than spruce.
In the absence of Forest Commits
sioner Dana from the city on State
business Deputy Commissioner Nio-
lette was asked what effect, if any. the
above plan might have on the State
of Maine and her paper mills. sad
he:
There is so little jack pine In
Maine that it will have no effect. so
far as the local supply is concerned
Jack pine is a mongrel; something
like a cross between white and a
Norway; is heavy and would be diff
cult to drive; and the only place I've
ever seen any is south of Attean and
not much of that"
Frank H. Sterling. clerk of the
State Board Of Assessors, with years
of experience in the woods as tim
Der cruiser and in other capacities,
corroborated Mr.. Niolette's statement.

topic for discussion was THE Inter

stantly for over 40 years. also the
potholes at Robinhood. There are
three, one of which IS seven feet
deep. They are round holes in a
solid ledge, shaped like an old
fashioned iron kettle and polished
very smoothly. They are supposed
to have been made by the Indians
and used for some purpose. One
OF them, about three feet deep, was
drilled out and taken to the st. Louis
Exposition. The discussion proved
a most interesting one. At recess
fudge was made and served.

Commissioner of Inland Fisheries
and Game, Willis f. Parsons
has ordered a hearing for 4.3O
Thursday afternoon in his Of
fee at the State House on the
emergency petition of the municipal
officers of the town of Bridgton ask
ing that regulations be promulgated
closing that portion of Peabody pond
lying in Bridgton to ice fishing. This
order is asked because it has been
discovered that the portion mentioned
is not covered by the regulations
closing the rest of the pond.
The commissioner will give hearing

his office on the petition of % inter-
ested citizens asking that Chase
brook in Township 10, Range 7, and
tributaries and Mosquito pond in T13,
R6 and TIA RI and tributaries, all in
Aroostook county, shall be closed TO
all fishing.
The commissioner recently gave
hearing on the request to close Por-
tage lake to ice fishing and at the
same time considered the matter of
closing the above mentioned brooks
and tributaries to all fishing. but
found that the petition did not give
him jurisdiction to close all, so that
supplementary petitions have been
sent in and hearing ordered.
Commissioner Parsons has received
two additional petitions asking reg
ulations at the outlet of Grand lake.
One is certified to by the clerk of
Grand Lake Stream Plantation as be-
ing signed by at least 25 per cent of
the legal voters of that place and
asks regulations making it unlawful
to fish within 200 yards of the fish
screen at the foot of the lake, except
in the manner called fly fishing. The
other petition, also certified by the
plantation clerk as bearing at least
% per cent of the legal voters of the
place, asks regulations prohibiting all
fishing from the screen.
The commissioner will as soon as
appointment will permit, name a date
for hearing.

The Highway Commission entered
into what it thought was a definite
arrangement with the road author
tiles of the Province Of Quebec for
the construction of a new road
around the hill. giving a much easier
grade than the present location. In
fact, arrangements proceeded so far
that the Canadian government sent an
engineering party to make the sur

the state highway commission had
no available engineers to do the work.

during the summer Of 1920 construct
ed its part of the road with the ex-
ception of putting on the final course
of gravel. The Province of Quebec
however, did not undertake its work
nor was anything done during the
year 1921, and the large traffic using
this most important international
highway was forced to bump up and
down over the rough, ledgy hill at
the boundary line.

together with the county commits
