50 FOREST COMMISSIONERS REPORT, 



built by the state in 1910 at a cost including 12 miles of telephone 

 line, of $582.97. The tower is 22 feet high, built on the highest 

 bluff of the mountain and -is constructed of twelve logs stand- 

 ing upright. The logs are framed with a platform on top 6x7 

 feet, with a "caboose" on the platform. There are four win- 

 dows in the caboose so a view can be had in all directions. There 

 is a living camp, 14 x 16 feet, built on the shore of Priestly lake. 

 A living camp was also found necessary for Depot Mountain 

 and was built at a small expense. 



"In addition to the telephone lines enumerated in the report 

 of the work for 1909. the following lines have been constructed 

 during the season of 1910, more miles of line being built this 

 season than was first contemplated for the reason that during 

 the summer there were times that the patrolmen did not need to 

 keep up the patrol and it was thought best to keep them at work 

 on new telephone lines that were needed for the work. The 

 expense of these lines in reality was only for the material, as 

 these men were under pay for patrol work. 



''Glazier Lake Line: This line connects with the main line 

 at St. Francis, crosses the St. John river west of the mouth of 

 St. Francis river and follows the St. Francis river on Twp. No.

 a farm house in said township. This line is about 10.5 miles. 



"Castonia Line: This line connects with the main line at

 follows along the northerly side of the St. John river to a farm 

 near the mouth of Tulandic stream in Twp. No. 16 R. 12, now 

 occupied by Hilaire Castonguay, where a box is located. This 

 line is about 17.5 miles in length. 



"Musqiiacook Line: This line was first connected with the 

 Allagash line at mouth of Musquacook stream and then run up 

 Musquacook stream to Musquacook lakes, to the depot camp of 

 W. H. Cunliffe's Sons', in Twp. No. 12, R. 11, a distance of 

 about 13 miles. For the free use of this line in connection with 

 lumbering and driving Messrs. Cunliffe's Sons furnished the 

 labor for the construction, the state paying for the material. 



"After this line was put in operation it was found that it load- 

 ed the Allagash line too much and the patrolmen, during wet 

 periods, continued the line down the Allagash river a distance 

 of three miles ,and connected with a line previously built by
