MAINE FORESTRY DISTRICT 35 
after the fires 
that might start. 
There was one 
started this sea- 
son and had quite 
a headway, but 
with the amount 
of pails stored 
there and a large 
crew of drivers it 
was soon extin- 
guished. But it 
is a fire trap 
along this stream 
as there is a lot 
of slash and it 
should be looked 
after carefully. 
I have been over 
the district and 
took account of 
the tools. I 
found some in the 
boxes and some . 
scattered around. TWO HORSE -YARDING ROAD. 
I collected all I 
could find and 
locked them up. 
I do not think we 
have lost many 
this season. I 
have taken in the 
large hanging 
signs and stored them for the winter. I took up the telephone line 
from Logan Brook around the West Branch Ponds to L. P. 
Chadwick’s, a distance of about five and one-half miles, and cut 
a new trail from the tower on Whitecap to the main line on 
East Branch Pleasant River, a distance of about four and 
one-quarter miles. Used the wire and splits that we took up; had 
to sack the wire from three to seven miles. Got a fine trail, and it 
does away with switching at Chadwick’s and is a direct line to Ar- 
bo’s, North Brownville, and .gives excellent service. Have cut 
Compared with the one horse road this is a reg- 
ular highway from eight to twelve feet wide. 
Where timber stands thick and there is considerable 
swamping to be done a large part of the territory 
actually yarded over is entirely laid waste.
