sleeping bag, violin, typewriter, ak
knife, canteen, a small lantern, cam

in Germany, England and France and
travelled with her pack on her back
thirty-tiye miles day. Mr. Emery
has heard from her, that she had now
gone to Quebec and was going from
there to Winnipeg and from there to
Alaska. She said she thought it
would take her about three years
more to finish her travels and then
she would probably settle in Connec-

of the Hartlanders Joe Picken, Roy

to Perley Emery's camp and asked
him what he thot of going up state
for a couple of days of hunting. OF
course he thot it would be just the
thing and so early the next morning
they started off and before night
came they were all set in a snug
camp. They all sat around the fire
and wondered what kind of luck they
would have
And what do you suppose they came
across while they We're hunting? They
saw little old tumbledown cabin and
wondered who had been living there
But suddenly they saw volumes of
smoke coming from the little smoke
stack. That aroused their curiosity
even more, they thot that no doubt a
couple of hunters We're staying there
So they walked up to the cabin and
went round to the door-and there
was a young, unusual looking girl
She didn't seem to be in the least
afraid of them all, they talked with
her for few minutes and found out
that she was the we'll known cham
pion girl hiker of America about
whom they had read so much She
was staying in that little log hut all
by herself writing book She was
so interesting that these Hartlanders
called on her a couple of times after
that and helped her split wood be-

BACK FROM MO|AN POND
WORK FINISHED
Horace r. Spear Has Been In Lum-
bering Operations With Two Teams
Since December

Horace Z. Spear of Madison Center
arrived home Friday of last week
from Indian Pond. Mr.. Spear went
there about December first with two
teams. The work was hauling pulp
wood for the H. & w. Company. from
the foot of Ellis Pond across Mud
Pond to Dead River Stream Pond, a
distance of four miles. The teams
generally made four turns day,
handling in all about $500 cords.
The road was exceptionally favor
able in its freedom from grade. 1t
was common to haul eight or nine
cords with one pair of horses. Such
loads would probably weigh from
four and one-half tons.
Mr.. Spear described an interesting
process as to unloading. When the
teams reached the landing. which was
on the ice surface of Dead Stream
Pond, sticks of pulp wood would be
put under the forward and rear run
ners on one side. These sticks would
be of varied sizes, the smaller of
course being placed farther back un-
der the slope of the runner. An ex-
ira pair of horses would then be hitch
ed on to the sled and moved forward
This would bring the runners up over
the pulp wood sticks just mentioned
in such manner as to tip the load
over This would land every stick
on its end on the ice and the sled
would be promptly tipped back to it's
usual position. In this way the load
could be dumped in five minutes.
The daily hauling took Mr.. Spear
by Dead Stream Pond Camps, which
he recalls as an exceptionally fine
location. There are ten very nicely
built cabins in the outfit. They are
located in birch growth and even in
this winter season present "A very
attractive sight.
There were other operations going
on in that vicinity so that the road
above referred to was a very busy
place. Mr.. Spear visited several of
the camps in that locality. Recall
ing his woods experience in years
past he could not but be surprised at

between the camps and Moosehead
Lake is navigable TO motor launches

running into the river forms a cove.

PROFESSOR KAUFMAN PASSES
AWAY
A Lover OF the Moose River Section
OF Maine

The guides and others in the Moose
River section of Maine, who knew Pro-
fessor Emil Kaufman, will be sorry
to learn that he passed away on Feb
ruary 9Th at his home on Staten Is
land. For many years previous to
the past four he has been q member
of the fishing and hunting parties OF
Col. Walter Scott and there was no
spot that he loved better than Camp
Scott on the Moose River He loved
the rivers and the woods and all that
went with them, and his great regret
in the past few years was the fact
that he was not strong enough to
make the trip. He will be missed
even more now that it is known he
has passed to the Great Beyond.
For many years, and at the time OF
his death, Professor Kaufman was
treasurer of the great importing house
of George Borgfeldt Il Co. The fun
eral services were held at his late
home on February 18th. A very large
number of friends were present to
pay their last respects. and the house
was filled with flowers.
