And this tract of beautiful big trees can be gotten and flumed--or something--down to a railroad that taps the country. It's in Forest Reserve, you see, and can't be bought by the lumber companies. I had the professor explain it all to me again, after I left the Martha, so I could tell you. All we have to do is a hundred dollars' worth of work--just digging holes around on it, or something--every year till five hundred dollars' worth is done. |
