Good Money Offered for Norway Pine
Seed

The activity of the Independents
Reporter in marketing beechnuts has
led to an inquiry from a forestry
company for Norway pine seed. We
can pay seven dollars f27J a pound
II we can furnish seed to meet their
requirements. The Norway or Red
pine Is scattered quite generally thru
out Maine. In some places there
are large bodies Of IT, The wood has
something the appearance Of Pitch
pine but by many it is regarded as
a better timber tree It's habit Of
growth IS YER straight with long
tushy needles growing IN twos. and
coarselY plaided red bark Il
does not bear see1 very heavily or
very Otter. During the past TWO or
three years the demand has Increased
among those who are growing the
pine seedlings 1t takes about seven
an One=half bushels of cones to
yie.d one pound Of seed
The easiest way to collect the seed
ia TO pick the cones from trees be
ing cut IN a logging operation during
tn month Of September or from the
last OF August or, but OF course this
ideal condition is eeldom found. The
r. gular collectors depend more or
less on cones dropped by squirrels
The most expensive method is to
climb the trees and pick the cones
b hand. Frequently bearing
trees do not produce seed in a given
year
We would like to hear from par
ties who know where there are Nor
way Pine. either single trees or in
large number. and what they know or
can learn as to the possibility of
harvesting this seed. It is quite pos
sible that no cones can be gathered
during the winter season, but we
ought to be studying into the matter
so as to take advantage Of the mar
lset. for the seed when the favorable
opportunity arrives.

|wsrdens Camp Mysteriously Burned

Mystery surrounds the recent burn
ing of camp in Township 5. Range
~ Game Warden John E. jackson of
Jackman with crew of men had been
renairing the camp for use by game
wardens in that section this winter,
doing the work at the instance of the
inland Fish and Game departing
THE warden and his men left the camp
about four Friday afternoon and upon
their return Saturday morning found
The camp burned fiat. They had had
m fire in the camp during the day
while making repairs, and it is evident
that either the camp was deliberately
burned or was set afire from a fire
started in the camp that night.
II showed hard the night of the fire
and the severe weather may have
driven some passing lumberjack into
shelter, but is is thought doubtful as
to whether fire started in the camp
for comfort would have resulted in
tho building being burned. This fact
coupled with the reported feeling of
noachers toward wardeEs has caused
some suspicion i'm this vacinity that
tho camp was deliberately burned
The camp which was one of the old
mes in the vicinity, was located near
the head of st. Johns Falls, on the
North Branch, also known as Fogg' s
Dam. The camp was situated about
Commute walk from the Half
Way House, which is known to hun
ters and others who are familiar with
the section. 1t was about 1916 feet
and was badly in need of repairs. 1t
was being put in condition for occu-
pancy by game wardens working in
this section of the State.
Warden Jackson and his men had
been stopping nights about four miles
below the camp and is was upon the
their return the day following that
they found the camp in ashes.

Want Pictures of Wild Life

II. NJ. Cranston OF Rhode Island
has left Portland for Katahdin accom-
panied by Frank McElroy as guide.
The object of the trip is to set pic
lures of wild life. Deer and moose
being now yarled. Mr.. Cranston
hopes to get some close up pictures
of them in their winter quarters.
The men went first to Trout Brook
from which place they will make the
trip to the top of Katahdin on snow
shoes. dragging sleds carrying their
equipment The approach TO the
summit of Katahdin vii be made up
the north side of the mountain where
trees extend nearer the top than at
any other place. and, also the ascent
is much easier Tlev took no tent
with them, depending on camps of
trappers and woodsmen for shelter.
They are warmly clad as the guide
stated they might expect to find a
temperature of 80 degrees below at
the top Of the mountain. The trip
is planned for three weeks in length.

Plenty of Work for WO0dsmen
Maine

There is little need for woodsmen
to linger around the streets of cities
this winter, idle and destitute, for
according to labor agents, there are
more jobs in that line of work than
can be filled, the larger operations
being especially in need of help.
wages are little lower this sea-
son than last year, but there are
plenty of jobs that pay. $l.50 day,
with board, and good for long
stretch says an employment agent.
Times have changed in the labor
agency business in Bangor, for while
once there were crows of men hang
ing around the offices, waiting for
job, and an order of almost any size
could be promptly filled, today the
agents have difficulty in getting even
SO good men together.
"Old times men were glad to go
into the woods in the fall or early
winter, being sure of at least moder
ate pay, good board and a comfortable
home through the cold weather, but
today we have different class,
mostly foreigners. who hate to get
away from the cities and the movies,
and take almost any kind of job IN
town in preference to spending the
winter in the bush. Maine goes on
cutting her 1000 900, 900 feet of timber
every year and men must be had from
somewhere.
"The holiday season makes all sorts
of trouble for the woods operator who
finds il hard to keep his crew on the
job. The men will go along until
about the middle of December, but
then they begin to long for a lay-off
and just before Christmas they quit
and hurry back to the bright lights
with their pay check, eager to cele-
brate. In the days when Bangor was
wide open the men went there to
spend their money, but now they
cross the border and have their merry
time in some Canadian oasis where
they can get what they want.
"Woodsmen's wages have ranged
within my recollection from so cents
a day to $3.50. Ten years ago men
were lucky to get rs cents a day,
while in 1920 the day scale was $3.50
for pulpwood cutters, without board.
Last season we were paying $1.65 a
day on an average, and this winter it
is $3.50. There was time when the
best Of native loggersi worked from

Promising Four Year Old

F. w. Freese of SkoWhegan has a
very promising four year old Chest
nut colt by Roy Vollo. The sire has
a mark of EOS and the grandmother
of PA. The mother is fast mare
but has not been marked. The colt
came from Canada when sucking
and Mr. Freese purchased him from
Simpson Dunlop, who lives on the
Weston farm. Mr.. Dunlop was of
fered 5000 for the animal when it
was a sucking. Roy Nollo was the
horse that beat John Il. Braden in
Canada, the latter going the mile in
2.06 at Bangor last fall.

these, forty-one were called upon
to make the supreme and forever
glorious sacrifice of giving their
lives.
1t seems entirely proper that
the first step in this great pro-
gram of advancement of the in
stitution which they all loved
should be a memorial to them.
1t is also fitting that this me-
mortal should take the form of a
great building in which the stu

ceive instruction in physical
training and in military science
and tactics.
In such a building will be
taught team work, individual
