86 FOREST COMMISSIONERS REPORT. 



This camp is on the main line to Priestly Mt. and by so doing 

 have cut out the maintenance of three miles of unnecessary 

 telephone line which was very difficult to maintain on account 

 of having to cross the stream. 



W. H. Hinckley, Head Waters of St. John River, Northern 

 Somerset County — I have 'built a new lookout station on Hard- 

 wood Mt., Twp. 9, R. 1 8, which is a great help to the territory. 

 All telephone lines have been repaired. We were fortunate in 

 having no fires this season although it was quite dry at times. 



Leon C. Irish, Southern Aroostook County — We have built a 

 telephone line to Wytopitlock Lake a distance of about twoi 

 miles which is of great importance in the work. Also repaired 

 the telephone lines which runs to the fire camp on 3, R. 3, and 

 is in fine condition now. 



R. L. Brick, Chesuncook Lake territory — In the last two years 

 we have placed $350 worth of new tools, telephones, and 

 equipment in Chesuncook section ; have put glass in the lookout 

 station and also painted the same. Have kept the trail in 

 good condition and covered the watchman's camp this year. 



We have reset all telephone poles and changed what wire 

 would come in to the Ripogenus and Chesuncook flowage and 

 the telephone service has been excellent this past season. All 

 the section has been properly posted with fire notices. 



There has been placed on Chesuncook Lake a 21 foot 5 horse 

 power Page Motor Dory, which is a very sea-worthy boat, not 

 expensive to run and capable of doing fine service. 



There have been several new trails spotted and all old trails 

 kept open. 



The foremen of all lumber camps as well as the townsmen, 

 guides, and sportsmen are cooperating with the Forest Fire Dis- 

 trict in this section. Special mention should be made of the 

 Great Northern Paper Company who extend all available help 

 of men, horses, equipment, supplies and motor vehicles in case 

 of fire. They furnished this year a motor cycle with side car 

 attached for your Chief Warden's use on the Ripogenus and 

 Grant Farm road. They have also left telephones all through 

 Pine Stream and Cuxabexis sections so that a patrolman is able 

 to communicate with the Chief warden in a very short time. 

 The Patrolmen have had the use of what vacant lumber camps 

 there are in this section, also canoes, stoves, bedding, etc.
