MICHIGAN'S LAST PINKS. — PHOTOGRAIMIKU I!Y W. Z. HUTCHINSON. 



This shows the virgin forest white-;iue trees of which hives are made— the only really good timber in the 

 world for the purpose. The section shows a part of a small tract of white pines in Otsego Co., Mich.— the last 

 tract of its kind in the State, and one of the last in the whole countrv. This particular lot is now being rapidly 

 cut out with a mammoth sawmill equipment at the enormous (shall I say awful?! rate of 200,000 feet every 24 

 hours, the year round. At this rate these grand old monarchs that, in day's gone by. have made Michigan great, 

 will soon be gone, never to be replaced. See opposite page.
