Mrttiio No Longer the Pine Tree State. I One of the pioneer lumbermen on the ' Penobscot was Mr. John Trickey, still j living in Bangor, at the age of 83 years. . Ho went there on foot with a pack on his back and only $1.50 in his pocket in I 1820. Today he is one of Pangor's i wealthy citizens. "Times havochanged," as they say, since Mr. Trickey begun his j operations. Maine was really tho "Pino j Tree State'' then. Iu eight years Mr, Trickey cut 3.000,000 feet of pino on land that now conslitnles tho towns of Carinel, Kenduskeag and Levant, where hardly a pine is to Ikj seen. At that time thero wero no mads, nnd all the provisions were taken up the river iu boats, special crews being employed for that purpose. Lewiston Journal,
