CO-OI'ERATION WITH NEW HAMPSHIRE. 



Early in the season of 1910 tlirongh correspondence with Hon, 

 E. C. Hirst, state forester of New 1 lanipshirc, a system of co- 

 operation was entered into whereby Maine yets the benefit of 

 the Kearsarge Mountain station, located in Chatham, N. PI. 

 This station can be reached by tcle])hone through North Conway 

 and it overlooks a considerable territory in Maine. Other sta- 

 tions overlooking Maine forests near the border are contem- 

 plated by New Hampshire. In return for this service the 

 Maine Forestry District gives to the bordering state any infor- 

 mation of fires discovered from tlie Aziscoos Mountain station, 

 locatt'd in ijncoln I'lantation, Oxfcjrd County, which has a view 

 of fjuite a nnml)er of thousand acres of forests across the bor- 

 der line. 



According to the agreement entered into between the forest- 

 ers of the two states, when a Xew Hampshire lookout man dis- 

 covers a fire in Maine he shall imme<liately telephone to the fire 

 warden for the township where the fire is located, such tele- 

 phfjue hill-, to be paid by the Maine deiiartment at the end of 

 each month. Likewise when a Maine lookout man discovers a 

 fire in New I lampshire he shall immediately telei)hone the fire 

 warden nearest said location and for ^uch telephone service 

 New Hampshire de])artment is to ])ay llu' bills at the end of each 

 month.
