s t ream , t h en the n ewer and shorter j o ur n ey is the one to take. An
o l d - t i m e feature on the passage from Round Pond to Allagash
L a k e is to be d ragged over for three m i les by a j u mper sled . I t
i s l i ke th e trad ition o f the rocky road to D ublin . At the head of
A l l agash Lake th e re is a good , short climb up to the fire station
L o wer on A l l agash M ou n tain .
When cam p i n g p a r ties have reached Chamberlain Lake either
Ly th e old or new way m e n tioned , and the n cut across the North­
west corner of the l a k e , and been h a u led over the old tram way
road by oxen or m a k e a shift over the dam further down the lake,
w h ere with a sho r t pad d l e i n a strea m , the canoe is wafted i n to
l �agl e Lake, the real beginning of down the A l l agash .
For years this trip has been a favorite paddle and justly, as i t
i s a conti n u o u s course o f ever cha n gi n g scene, through lake and
d o w n s tream . A comment, heard by the writer, of a seven ty-six­
y e a r o l d -guide, who figu red h e had been a hund red times down
t h e A l l agas h , tel l s the s tory.
"Old a I be, I sti l l l ike i L . "
A n d most everyone who goes down i s ready to g o again . The
w r i ter h as had the pleasure of twice m aking the run both by the
l o n g a n d short rou tes in 1 9 1 3 a n d 1 925 and while th e com i n g of
t h e y e a r s has brought a n i ncrease in the i mpedimenta! d am s , the

Eagle Lake was formerly one of the beau ty spots b u t ha s since
been f l ooded by a d am throw n across at Ch ase carry a t the foot
of Ch u rch i l l La k e, with the consequen t Limber desolation o n the
shores of these lakes.
Even the poin t of l a n d i n Eagle Lake, n amed in honor of P e rc i v al
P . Ba,x ler, the first governor of M aine to cross the stale from
l\foo s eh ead Lake lo Fort Kent, and the v ery point the governor
cam ped u pon whil e on the way down , h as been e ntirely obli tera ted
in the h i gher w a ler levels of Lo-day.
B u t there is Long Lake and Squ are Lake Lo fol low say i n g noth ­

I N T H E M AINE Woons
I have p u rposely avoided any mention of woodcock and pheas­
a n t , as, in the firs t i n s tance, we can offer the sportsman but a
sca t tering few, and , i n the last, none at all. I understand tha t
both varieties are fo u n d i n ab u ndance in some o f o u r southern
coun ties, b u t in A roostook " birds" means j usl one thing, to wi L :
" Pat-ridge. ' ' "
To many of you a l l of the above may be "old s t u ff" and you r
appetite j aded as far as deer, bear and par tridge are concerned , so
Lo such I can recommend an even more exci ting pastime which is
gai ning popu larity i n Lh e A roostook, and tha t is "Cats . " O u r
par tic u lar breed of c a l i s no back-fence p ussy , b u t a real old s tager
th a t a t tains a maxim u m weigh t of between 50 and 60 pounds and
every pound chock fu l l of p ure unadul terated snarling, spi t t i n g
c u ssed n ess. T h i s is one of o u r m o s t undesirable ci tizen s b u t , b y
t h e same tok e n , o n e of o u r mosl highly p rized i n the matter o f
sport. To h u n l him o n snowshoes and i n fron t of a good hou ud
d og may be cold wor k , but rare fu n never theless, and if you ' re
fed u p wi lh other aven ues of sport, try this on you r piano and I ' m
s ure you ' l l fi nd i t sweel m usic. M oreover you ' l l b e doing y o u r
brother sportsmen a good L u rn , fo r every c a l you kill means more
deer the followi n g Fa l l and i f you ' re a good shot your trip wi l l
pay fo r i tsel f a s the Stale o f M aine will pay you $ 1 0 . for every
pel t.
In conclusion let me pay Lrib u le for a momen t Lo another
A potato farmer or
A roostook prod u c t - the A roostook guide
a l u m berman i n Lhe closed season , he blossoms forth on Oc tober l
wi th his pack basket, axe and carbi ne, and on his shou lders largely
rests the success or fai l u re of your trip . The fac t that Lhe fa i l u res
can be cou nted on the fi ngers of one hand , whereas the s uccesses
are legion speak s vol u mes i n i tself. An expert woodsman , canoe­
man and shot , he is a capab l e cook i n to the barga i n a n d an accom ­
plished j ac k of a l l
trades.
B y far
the most im­
porta n t considera­

From orth East Carry they cut through a woods trail to Q u ebec
Province ; and Hodge, in his t rip th rough here in 1 8 3 7 , spea k s of i t
thus ; "As this por tage ( N . E. Carry) has been m u ch u sed b y people
passing i n to M adawask a , a road has been c u t through by the Sta t e
for exploring parties but is n o w o u t of repair. " This was u n d o u b t­
ed l y what is known as "The Old Q u ebec Road . "
Later, M aj . Silas B arnard was commissioned t o lay ou t a road
from Bangor to Q uebec via Seboomook, to i ntersect the old " C a n ­
a d a R oad , " a distance of some thirty-eigh t miles.
Val u able maps and sketches of the M oosehead region were made
by Moses Greenleaf, of W illiamsburg, i n 1 8 1 6 ; as were o th ers by
D r . C. T . Jack son , whose reports were never published in ful l , a
he terminated his office abruptly in 1 838, after he had explored
the l a rgest part of the State. Other a u thori ties are H enry D .
Thorea u , who visi ted here i n 1 853 and again i n 1 8 5 6 ; Theodore
W i n throp, 1 85 6 ; Chas. A . Farrar, 1878 ; Lucius L . H u bbard ,
1 877-79 ; and Thos. S teele ; who wil l be remembered by the older
generation of guides for his shaggy mane of whi te hair.
But we're getting ahead of o u r s tory .

T h e first whi te woman w a s M rs . Deborah Waldron , a widow,
who came here i n the spri n g of 1 8 2 7 , with two small children .
M rs. Waldron afterward m arried M r . Young and lived here until
her death in the early '80's. In 1 83 1 , the new settlement was

T J TOREA U, after h is Ma in e lr ip in 18!i6, wrote of h is
fishing experien ces :
Se iz i n g lhe b irch poles w h ic h some p a rty of I n dia n s, or while
h un ters , had left on th e shore, a n d ba iling our hooks w ith pork , and
w ith trout, as soon as they w e re ca ught, we cast o ur lines into the
mo ut h of the A boljacknages ic ( A bol S t rea m ) , a clear, s w ift, sha llow
s tream , wh ich came in from Ktaadin ( Kala hdin ) . Ins ta n tly fish,
large and sma ll, prowling thereabouts, fell upon our ba it, and one
after a no t he r were la n ded am idst the b us hes .
Th ey s wa llowed t h e ba il as fa s t as we could throw in ; an d the
finest fin ny spec imens tha t I ha ve ever seen , the largest one weighing
three p ounds , were h e a ve d upon t he s ho re t h o ug h a t fi rst in va in, lo
wr igg le down in to the wa ler ag a i n , for we stood in the boat; but soon
we learned lo rem e dy th is evil; for one, who had lost h is hook , stood
on shore to ca tch t h e m a s t hey fell in a p e rfeel shower around him, sometimes, wet a n d slippery, full in h is face and bosom, as his a rm s
were out-stretched lo rece ive t hem .
While yet a live, before their lints
had fade d , they glistened like lhe fa i re st flowers , the product of prim i­
l ive rivers . "

And how " B i ll " raved abou t the climate of Moosehead in the
spring. Later, when h e penned a fine article on the party, he was
l avish in his praise of the weather conditions and his description
of the setting of n atural wonder was the work of a gifted writer i n
l ove with what he is writing.
B u t best of all, I repeat that h e is a grand chap .
Upon arriving at M oosehead he q u ickly dropped the mantle of
well earned fame and became j ust another guy out for a wh ale of
a good time.
They say that this is his every day manner and I
rea l l y believe it is so.
H is articl es on h u man i nterest m a tters which he writes from
Lime Lo time are th e work of a chap who enj oys all of the things i n
l ife that are clean a n d wholesome . He proved defi n i te l y t o m e
d ur i n g my stay wi th him tha t he owes a s m uch to his fine character
as to his wri ting ability for the fame which he enjoys.
M oosehead wil l al ways hold the beacon of welcome to "Bill"
C unningham a n d i t is sincerely h oped th at he wi l l be with us again
very soon .

M u ch is to be said re­
garding M aine's fishing.
Beyond a shadow of doubt
M ai ne has the grea test
salmon , trout and togue
fishi ng to be found any

It also h as some fin e bass,
pickerel and perch fishing.
There are sti l l h u ndreds

of
streams far back i n the

civilization , where fishing
ca n n o t be equalled i n any

love the canoe, you can travel back by m otor or pole and pad d l e ,
camping out, taking pict ures of the scenery as you go and catching
fish as you like.
M aine has many sk i ll ed and rugged gu ides who are waiting for
j ust such a job and they will make your j ourney one of m uch
pleasure. They can prepare a fine meal in j ig time. They can
penetrate the deep forest to any d epth a n d gel you out again .

and wild, white, rol ling lakes tha n an engi neer could puzzle out
in a l i fe time. And besides you wi l l find them regular fellows,

DEVELOPMENTS A L O N G THE APPALACHIAN TRAIL

d uring the winter the cable will be brou ght in on the snow, to be
installed by th e C . C . C . in th e spring. This much-n eed ed structure
wil l be a great boon to all who frequent this locality.
On the south side of K atahdi n , the C . C . C . , at the old G . N . P.
Depot Camps, u nder the supervision of the National Park Service,
has extended the au tomobile road from Windey Pitch to its
termi n u s at Roaring B rook, a distance of 2 5 . 2 miles from M illi­
nocket. From here, Chim ney Pond in the Great B asin of Katahdin
is 3.3. miles ; the Trail between these poin ts has been much im­
proved .
The trail crew from the Millinocket Camp, under the direction
of S uperin len d e n t Frank L. B rown and Trail Forem an Lou is
Boyle, has stand ardized the Trail from the M i llinocket-Nesowad ­
n eh u n k Tote-road , a t the wes t base of K atahdin, to the M aher
Campgrou n d on N ahmakanta Stream, a distance of 31 miles ; the
improvements in the vicinity of R ainbow Lake are notable.
Open , lean -to sh el ters were b u i l t by this cam p along the Trail on
Lhe Pen obscot W est Branch , Yz m. abov e the cable bridge at
Nesowad n eh u n k Dam si le , and at the foot of Rainbow and Nah­
m a k a n ta Lakes, respec Lively, th u s providing camping facilities a t
i n tervals o f a n easy day ' s j ou rney fo r a 4-day trip south from
K alahd i n .
T h e G reenvil l e C . C . C . tra i l crew, w i l h Emmonds Stacy as
Camp Su perintenden t and H u gh S. M acNeil as Foreman, did very
extensive work from the Piscataquis R iver at Blanch ard to the
East Branch of Pleasan t R iver. The two three-mi l e blue-blazed
side trails from the Barren-Ch airback R ange down to Long Pond
were a l so stan d a rd ized . Th ese trai ls were origi n ally cut to permit
Lbe hiker to d ivide into a two-d ay traverse, the difficult primeval
spruce a n d f ir crest of th i s range. A three-m i l e side trail was also
c u t from the n orth shore of Lon g Pond to The Head of the G u l f,
th u s a fford i n g a c i rc ui t of the G u l f H agas Trai ls on the W est
B r a n c h of Pleasa n t R iver.
From the F l agstaff C . C . C . Camp, two large cre ws u nder Camp
S uperi n te n de n t Raymond A. Savage and Foremen W il liam Smith
and Edwin W ah l worked over the m a i n Trail from the Ken nebec
R iver to Bigelow V i l l age on M a i n e Highway 27, in addition to
completing the standard iza Lion of one-h a l f of the 7-mile side trail
along th e Mt. B igelow R an ge, from The Tarn or H orns Pond to
S tratton . A lean-to was b u i l t at Cold Stream , a branch of Dead
R iver. A m ajor contrib u tion , however, was m ade by this camp
i n the form of an al ternate ro u te to M t. Bigelow from Pierce Pond ,
a fa m o u s f ishin g grou n d j u s t west of the K ennebec R iver. This
ro u te l ead s over B a tes R idge through an attractive region , past
East, M i d d l e and West Ca rry Pon d s along the historic old A rnold
T ra i l across t h e " C re a l Bend " of Dead R iver. From the C arry

Sta tes comes from the 20 factories conveniently scattered through­
out this County. In 1 934, these factories used 5 , 3 1 9 , 000 bushels
of potatoes and m a n u factu red abou t 48,000,000 pounds of starch .
I t appears that these factories provide an excellent outlet for
prod uce that is not m arketed in distan t cities.
The i n come of an e n terprise is the measure of its success whether
in agricu l t u re or i n commerce. A careful review of monies comi ng
i n Lo Lhe Cou n ty over a period of years reveals many i nteresting
fac Ls. The potato e n terprise, as with any specialized enterprise,
has shown great variation from year to year, wiLh cash return s to
L h e Cou n Ly varying from $48 ,000,000 i n 1 929 t o the low of
6,000,000 for 1 934.. I t is appare n L that Lhe average yearly i ncome
o f $22 , 000,000 for the period 1 92 0- 1 93 0 was s u fficien t to develop
Lhis Cou n ty i n Lo the l a rgest potato p rod ucing and shipping area
in the U n i ted Sta tes. I t is apparen t a lso t h a t greater efficiencies
in prod u c i n g and m arketing this produce wil l be developed . The
most o u tstanding one in evidence bein g a con ti n u a l i ncrease i n
a verage yield per acre from the 1 900- 1 904 average o f 1 5 1 bush e l s
Lo t h e 1 93 0- 1 93 4 average of 270 b u shels.
The magni ficen t s u nset is fast being absorbed by the darken i n g
f orest horizon a n d o u r day is d o n e . W e h a v e seen i n a d a y wh a t
D r. J ackson v i e wed a n d dreamed o f for weeks. But, how we

Of t h e 3 5 years o f my life that I have been guiding, 1 8 years of this time h a s been spent
on trails and streams guiding big game h u n ters and anglers in the great virgin wilds of
northern Maine and are at the service of those who love these sports I have learned from
my many years of guiding, the ways, nature and habits of our game and fish, where to
look for them and when. And for those who w a n t to h u n t bear and deer I can give you
shots at them. I know the lakes and streams which prod uce the best fishing for the kind of
fish you want. I know the places where deer and bear are most abundant and i n many
of these places you w i l l hear no crack of ri fle other than your own gun s. I can teach you
how to travel as silently as a cat. C ure anyone of having buck fever in one day's time,
can make you h i t 'em . I know what it takes to make a sportsman happy.
Everyone who reads this ad. is invited t o ask for reference. I can give 'em t o you from
all parts of the U. S. and should these references come u p to your wishes let me plan for
you a hunting or fishing t rip, photo �aking, cat running or canoe trip. I a m ful l y equipped.
