bering operations are caught. A

camps where fifty-fiye men are board

helpers were hard at work preparing
bile was back on the main highway
and on we went to the beautiful Piel
estate, just below Parlin Pond. This
was formerly the home of the late
Michael Piel who died suddenly, June
Is, 1915. This magnificent summer
place has all the appurtenances that
a man of Mr.. Piels wealth, which
reached the million dollar mark, could
give it. A wonderful iron fence sep
arates the estate from the road and
in summer beautiful lawns and walks
are kept in perfect condition. The
commodious residence, almost a man
sion, the keepers cottage, the big
barns, dog houses and conservatory
are all kept up in the finest style.
The Big Woods Editor regretted that
Mrs. Louise Lang, daughter OF Mr..
Piel was not present when he called
but through the broad windows he
obtained glimpses of spacious rooms,
beautifully flied up. The caretakers
were at home and the Big Woods
writer noticed that there were evil
dences of much for next season in
the growing things that were evident
in glass enclosed rooms. Mrs Lang
is spending the winter in Belmont.
Mass. Mr. Piel was a native of Ger
many and was large property own
err there, before coming to this coun-
try. This property at one time was
used as a hotel and since his death
for the past two season has been so
conducted under the management of
Mrs. Lang.
ITO be continued next week.

had been that of various hotel connec-
tions, including several hostelries in
Boston, while winters he had been
employed at the we'll know Hamilton
Hotel in Bermuda. He has continued
to spend the greater part of the cold
weather months in Bermuda, since his
location at Pleasant Pond and expect
ed to go there again this season, but
last winter he stayed in the wilds and
has decided to stay on his own prop
erty there, again this year. In his
hands the old hotel has received many
changes, in the interior arrangements.
He has built garage and log cabins
and has arrangements for meeting
people at the train. At the present
time he and his sister, Miss Rogan,
who remains at the hotel are having
it easy for they do not cater to hunt
ers but more especially to summer
trade. They report the month of
September as being unusually busy,
because of the tourist trade.
Through the efforts of Mr.. Rogan
and the cottage owners new con-
crete dam has lately been installed
at the outlet of the pond at an expense
of $1,000, the state standing $500 of
the cost. Nine fish screens have
also been installed in the waters and
two lots of fish have been put in the
pond, with another lot to be added
shortly. 1t will take about one year
for these fish to mature but will later
insure splendid fishing grounds. Last
year the Ice left Pleasant Pond on
April 9th but 1t has been known not
to leave these waters until as late
as May 18th. 1t was with regret that
the newspaper man bade goodbye to
the courteous master of the Pleasant
Pond House and his equally gracious
sister but there were other interesting
places to visit, and the beauties OF
Pleasant Pond had to be abandoned.
Leaving his hunter companions In the
woods, the writer pressed on toward
the north.
The roads have received much at
tention in Northern Somerset this
season and from Bingham to Jack
man, the highways are almost equal
to a level floor. Hotel Sterling, a
somewhat historic place just below
Caratunk was passed with a look of
admiration and a glance at the pleas
ant cottages on an elevated knoll
overlooking the Kennebec, but this
place had already received recent at
tention in the Big Woods columns and
so the writer fastened on past an
, other ancient landmark The Forks
Hotel-below the settlement of the
same name, stopping to greet Mr. and
Mrs. Hugh Comber at the Comber's
Inn, above West Forks. Time was
passing rapidly and a glance at the
register in the rest room showed that
many out of state people had been
guests of the Comber's during Novem-
Der. Among those who had regis
tered were J. w. Barbour, Joe Sa-
tin, Paul D. Sargent, Augusta; Mr..
and Mrs. r. F. Wilson, W f. Wilson;
