The lightning had burned out some insulated wire and the line- man could not find it without an instrument. We have had very few fires; one at Long Pond on 7 R. 9 was put out at a small expense. Had one on White Brook, which was put out by the river drivers. I would recommend that while the Rowland Pulp & Paper Co. are driving out of White Brook into the main river a patrol be put on to look. ONE HORSE YARDING ROAD. Where one horse only is used in yarding timber the saving of small growth and undersized trees is very apparent. Only a narrow path shows where the logs have been hauled to the yard and there is but slight disturbance of the unmerchantable stuff, which is thus left to grow and mature.
