sibilities in this line and starting a
movement to utilize this natural re-
source.
At his suggestion. q meeting OF

gusta, and the Maine Hardwood As

clude Alfred K. Ames of Machias,
Forrest H. Colby of Bingham, Del
mont Emerson Of Island Falls, S. S.
Lockyear of Portland, Haven Sawyer
of Bangor, Clarence c. Stetson of
Bangor, and myself. We are making
a survey of the available hardwood
supply in the State. its quantity,
quality and cost of delivery at
central points.
We find that the hardwood users Of
much interested in the supply of
material which we have in Maine.
They inform us that when all our in
formation is collected, they will be
very glad to come to Maine and look
the situation over, with view to To-
eating here.
1t is a fact that the hardwood re-
sources of the lake states and south
ern Appalachians, which have con-
tributed principally to the markets
of the country, are to large extent
depleted; and the general opinion Of
those familiar with the industry is
that Maine offers a large supply of
material suitable for manufacture,
and that this will be developed here
in the very near future.
Speaking from personal experience.
l will say that the hardwood expert
connected with my organization has,
since last July first, established two
ha rdwOOd industries and that plans
are we'll under way for the locating
of a third plant of considerable size
on the Kennebec River.
To my mind, the hardwoods of
Maine offer a very broad field for in
dustrial expansion, and while l
realize that not all of our growth is
of good quality, l do know that
considerable part of the stands is
well suited to manufacture. l am
very well pleased with the progress
we have been able to make so far,
and am sure that those of us who
have been engaged in this work, CIV
ing our time without recOmpense,
believe that although proceeding
slowly, we are building well for the
future. It Is work in which
progress should be slow, in order
that failures may not result.
l am very sure that you will want
to be entirely fair in the matter, and
will wish to accord to Governor
Brewster and to those of US as
ISOLATED with him in the work, at
least sincere desire to help Maine,
and credit for the progress which We
have already made.
Yours very truly,

Reply Of Hon. Blaine Viles

REPLY OF Hon. Blaine ViteS
April II, 1926
Editor. Press Herald,
Portland, Maine.
Dear Sir:
/ notice in your issue of Monday
morning an editorial on the hard
wood situation. This criticizes the
plank in the Republican platform
which reads as follows:
Realizing that our vast forest
resources must be protected and
conserved, we commend and en-
dorse the efficient protective sXs-
tenn of the State; especially do
we commend the movement for
the development of the hardwood
resources of the State, for in this
direction we believe are great
opportunities for industrial ex-
pansion and growth. We rec
ommend to the next Legislature
careful consideration Of a prop
osition for State Nurseries which
shall sell seedlings at cost for re-
forestation purposes"
To some of us who are much in
terested in the development of the
hardwoods of Maine, this plank
seemed reasonable and proper.
The editorial further states, in
substance. that the hardwood situa-
ton in Maine is practically hopeless,
and that those of us who are at
tempting to build up the industry
are wasting our time.
The situation, as it seems to me, in
regard to the hard wood of Maine,
is as follows: We have a very large
amount Of good quality of hardwoods
suitable for manufacturing into the
numerous products which are re-
CURED by the markets of the coun-
try. A considerable part of these
is not available at the
present time, because of lack of
transportation facilities; but there is
a large amount which today can be-
and soon will be-marketed to ad-
vantage.
Governor Brewster has seemed to
appreciate the situation, and to
recognize that in the utilization of
our available hardwoods there lies q
substantial development in the in
dustrial life of the State. We
should be fair, think, and accord to
him the credit Of realizing the pos

Takes Exceptions
To Papers Stand
On Maine HardWoods

Those interested, in the efforts
being made to promote hardwood in
dustries in Maine, will find this cor
respondence pertaining to the mat
ter informative:
"The Hardwood Plank"
THE platform of the Republican
party has something to say about
the development of the hard wood in
dustry in Maine. No concrete plan
is advanced for assisting in the de-
velopment of this industry. There IS
little the State can do to hasten the
day when it's hard wood will be
utilized for manufacturing purposes
Such plank in the platform reads
well but in reality it means little.
For years the owners of the
timberlands in Maine have been en-
deavoring to find way to realize
something from the hard wood which
grows in quantities in some localities
Ine most OF these owners have found
they could not get this hard wood
out of the forests to where it can be
utilized for manufacturing purposes
without absorbing all the profit that
might be from its sale in payment
or the labor for cutting and trans
porting it.
Hard wood cannot be hauled to a
oeA NohA Va q ldhG anu IlO2leQ TO the
place where 1t is to be manufacture
ed. The experiment has been tried
or rafting it with soft wood but this
has not been found at all salts
factory. In cutting the hard wood
growth there is too much waste.
Hard wood does not grow as soft
wood does. There are too many big
limbs on the trees and unless some
way Is found to make use of them
the loss on every tree is very large.
The time may come when manu-
facturers will turn to Maine for ma
terial to manufacture into furniture
and other things but it is not very
near. The State cannot afford to
subsldize the manufacturers who use
hard wood SO that they can erect
pants to use this material and
Maine will have to wait for the time
when the law of supply and demand
Will make our hard wood forests
more valuable than they are today
before this industry can be fully de-
veloped." --Editorial, Press Herald.
