  • A 1931 Bethel News Extra
    A 1931 BETHEL NEWS EXTRA Bethel Maine History—The Bethel Journals March 21, 2011 To find a name in this paper, press the Ctrl and F keys then type the name in the text box (upper right) and press Enter. It was 150 years since the Last Indian Raid at Bethel. Bethel’s newspaper, The Oxford County Citizen, in cooperation with the George A. Mundt Post No. 81 American Legion produced a Special Edition to com- memorate the event. Probably the largest crowd to ever attend a Bethel event, reported to have been 10,000 people, came for the August 3rd, 1931, program which included a large parade, parachute jumping, airplane stunting, a greased pig and pole race and most of a pageant that featured re-enactment of an Indian attack and burn- ing of a white settler’s log cabin. Fun for everyone. (Who cared that the real Indians never burned a cabin during their 1781 raid.) Now many years after the cheering and tumult fades, crowds have left, Indian actors have gone back to logging and storekeeping, the Special Edition remained, a wonderful source of Bethel history—people, in- stitutions and enterprises. The following pages bring back snapshots of 1931 that have made this Special Edition so valuable. And what was really new? Cars, trucks, gas stations, auto service businesses, a Ford dealer, movies, radio and electric power from Central Maine Power Co. And what was old? Corn canning had gone; the Bethel Creamery had gone; golf had replaced mills on Mill Brook. Highlight of the day’s festivities—Indian Raid Pageant—a settler’s cabin burns Site of the pageant was along Mill Brook below the Gould Academy campus—crowd watched the pageant from the slope behind the new Gehring Hall girl’s dormitory.

PResident 2-2741 The economic welfare of the forest industry is closely tied to the economic health of the general community. Recent recovery in business suggests a favorable outlook for industrial roundwood products during 1959. The volume of industrial roundwood (all round timber products except fuelwood) prodUced in the United States in 1958 is estimated at 8.6 billion cubic feet. This is about 2 percent less than the estimated production in 1951 and 10 percent below production in 1956. Stumpage prices showed a steady decline in 1951 and the first two quarters of 1958. The drop in the production of industrial roundwood and stumpage prices has been related to a general decline in economic activity.

  • Affected Environment the Upper Androscoggin River Watershed and the Northern Forest
    Chapter 3 Ian Drew/USFWS Vernal pool Affected Environment The Upper Androscoggin River Watershed and the Northern Forest Introduction This chapter describes the physical and socioeconomic settings of the refuge in both a regional and local context. We first describe the regional landscape, including its historical and contemporary influences. Next, we describe the refuge and its resources in a local context. The Upper Androscoggin River Watershed and the Northern Forest The Landscape Setting The refuge lies in the Upper Androscoggin River watershed, in a broad valley near the rugged White Mountains, where dozens of peaks rise more than 3,500 feet in elevation. Mount Washington lies to the south at 6,288 feet. It is the highest peak in the Northeast (Publicover and Weihrauch 2003). These lands, clothed in trees, are part of the 26-million-acre region known as the Northern Forest, which stretches from eastern Maine through northern New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York (Northern Forest Lands Council 1994). Maine and New Hampshire are the most heavily forested states in the Nation, and the Northern Forest one of its largest contiguously forested regions. Those forests, waters, and wildlife profoundly influence the culture and economies of the northern reaches of the two states. The refuge lies in the transition zone between the vast spruce-fir, boreal forests of Canada and the maple-beech-birch northern hardwoods to the south. That mixing of forest types, combined with the rugged terrain, diverse geology, and myriad lakes, bogs, and other wetlands supports a richness of flora and fauna (Dobbs and Ober 1995).
