Maine Hardwood
Project Attracting
Widespread Attention

That the results of the recent
Hard Woods Conference held In Au-
gusta a short time ago at the in
stance Of Governor Brewster has at
tracted wide spread attention
througout the Country was evidenc-
ed in the July number of Wood
Working Industries" which is pub
lished in Milwaukee.
The article in part said:
"Plans to develop the hardwood
resources of Maine were formulated
at Augusta. June II, through a con-
ference called by the Governor, at
tended by 100 Maine lumbermen and
various experts. A committee was
named to form a permanent organiz-
alton for study and exploitation Of
this resource.
Naturally. the people of Maine
desire to realize as much from their
timber as possible and Maine hard
woods are noted for their excellence.
The fact that they have not been
used more In the past is principally
due to the fact that quite portion
of them are In stands mixed with
softwood and other stands have up
to the present time been considered
inaccessible. However. from a freight
standpoint, Maine hardwoods can be
sold on the competitive market as
far west as Cleveland and as far
south as Baltimore.
Rising prices of maple and birch
should make Maine hardwoods
good bet in years to come"
The State should be we'll pleased
with such attention, as 1t shows how
other sections of the country are
keeping in touch with her activities.

BOOST THE NYE MEMORIAL FUND

There is an awakening interest on
the part of Maine people in the un-
dertaking for the erection at Fletcher,
N. c.. of a memorial tablet to Names 8
| far-famed humorist and lecturer, Ed
gar Wilson Nye (Bill Nye).
The amount contributed to date,
however, is considerably under the
total sum requested from Maine by
the memorial committee, and people
in all sections of the State are urged
to lend their financial support to this
most worthy project. Large dona-
tions are not necessary If the interest
becomes widespread.
It Is planned to erect the memorial
tablet August 25 of this year and 1T
is hoped that Names quota of $3.50
will be raised in full so that it may
be turned over to the memorial COM
mittee before that date. The total
requested from Maine is a very mod
crate sum and should be oversub-
scribed in short order. Maine cltl-
zens should appreciate the eHorts
that are being made by sister state
to honor the memory of an illustri-
Gus son of the Pine Tree State.

to help in this undertaking, are ask

Issue Bulletin on
Highway Conditions
And Construction

5 Reports coming to the Office OF the
State Highway Commission from
road users in various parts of the
State indicate that state highways
are in better condition this spring
than is ordinarily the case at this
season of the year. The early spring
made it possible for highway crews
to begin maintenance and resurfac-
ing work at least one month e..rlier
than usual, and much of the work
was accomplished before the traffic
became heavy. This has worked to
advantage in two ways: Traffic has
not interfered with maintenance
work and maintenance work has not
unduly interfered with traffic. and as
a result surface treatment work es-
pecially is in more satisfactory con-
dition than usual

Surplus Shown
Nav Report B. & M.

Boston, June ga surplus Of
1892, ,690.SS in May is reported by the
Boston & Maine Railroad, as COM
pared with a deficit of $34,367.04 in
May, 1924. This figure represents net
income after paying interest charges
and rentals, but makes no provision
for sinking fund or equipment trust
installments.
With gross operating revenues
s69, ,14S.70 less than in May last year,
the improved result was due entirely
to an increased operating efficiency.
This is shown by the fact that the
ratio between expenses and revenues,
which in May of 1924 was S3.44, was
reduced last month to S0.62. This is
the best performance for May since
1917.
