The report urges legislation upon the sub
ject of the rapid destruction of Holsters and
that planting should be resorted to.
The planting of lanG-locked salmon has
been amply repaid in most gratifying results at
Moosehead, at Enfie'd aud at Rangeley.
AT Moosehead they have been captured on
the fly, from time to time, for the last two
years. AT Enfield, fish estimated at most ex-
aggerated weight, were seen on the spawning
bed this year, but IN all probability fairly es-
timated by one accustomed to judge correctly
of the weight of fish in the water, fully equal
ing ten or twelve pounds At Rangeley con-
siderable numbers have been taken BY anglers
for several years past.
In Rangeley lake alone, over fifty of two
pounds weight and over, were taken by an
glers last June. More or less we're also taken
in the lakes below. Quite a number were seen
by the Commissioner on the spawning beds in
Rangeley stream in October, some of them
very large and estimated by him and others at
not less than ten or twelve pounds. The re-
turn for the subscription of $500 TO the Grand
Lake stream fund, was $4,000 eggs, which
were divided equally between Moosehead,
Rangeley and Enteld.
Deer have been very plenty The effect OF
the law and its enforcement, imperfect though
it may be, has been very marked increase of
these animals. law, somewhat similar to
one.iD force in Nova Scotia, should be passed
forbidding the killing of more than two or
three moose or deer or caribou by any one per-
sui. L uo laws III NOW DTuuSWlck ana Nova
Scotia and other Provinces of the Dominion,
requiring the payment Of $25 or $50 for per-
mission to hunt or shoot within their bounda-
ries. by every nonresident, has had the effect
to precipitate upon our State an unusual num-
Der of hunters, mostly for market.
Wild ducks are rare and ato be seen but iu
limited numbers, owing TO the widespread
crime of batting and netting. Farmers who
like to vary the monotonous fare of their ta-
bles by an occasional duck or bit of vension,
must aid in fearlessiy testifying in all cases of
infraction OF our game laws that come to their
knowledge
If the Commissioner had the means of en-
ploying competent detectives, he would soon
root out this evil of poaching, which now bi
fair to exterminate the fish and game of our
State. Woodcock and plover and many of our
ruffed grouse, in close-time, are still shot for
market, along our lines of railway by our own
and outside poachers.
= Our inseetiverous efrds require protection.
There is statute forbidding their being killed,
but as there is no penalty attached, it is value
less.

MAINE FISHERIES.
Annual Report of Commissioner Stanley.

The annual report of H. o. Stanley, COM
missioner of fisheries, has been published 1t
is urged by the Commissioner that the fish and
game of our State have great money value in
attracting summer tourists, and that efforts
should be made to increase their value. The
Commissioner believes S5 is less than the
minimum cost of every pound of trout taken
from Moosehead, Rangeley or Grand Lake
stream by summer visitors or our own anglers
Our stock OF fish and game can be quadrupled,
but we must have better laws and they must be
rgidly enforced. 1t is hoped that no more
commissions to taxidermists will be granted
without the strictest scrutiny as to the objects
OF the applicants, and bonds should be required
for faithful adherence to the terms of the COM
missions. Strenuous objection is made to
throwing shingle waste or slaughter-house
refuse into streams, as destructive so fish.
Fishing with nets of any kind should not be
allowed above tide water. The run of salmon
for the year is good; large in numbers, but the
average small in size. The fshways are prov-
ing success. The streams are becoming pop-
ulated with salmon, as the result of spawn
planting.

Mysteries of the Sound.

Twenty years ago or so Joe Carrier, chief
of the Norwich Fire Department, was jour
nevi,,g from New York To that city by boat.
He sat in the smoking room of the steamer
until bedtime, when he set out for his state
room. He remembered nothing from that
lime forward until he found himself tossing
about in the waters of the Sound. He was
rescued by passing vessel, and upon taking
an inventory of his effects. he discovered thar
his watch, pin and money were missing.
Another man told about Captain W. W.
Colt who, at the time, commanded Sound
steamer, found himself overheard and in inn
mineni peril u! drowning one night, and for
the life of him he couldn't tell how he came
10 be in the water. Then there was Eugene
Reed. On certain night he awoke to the
unpleasant realization that the white-capped
waves of the Sound were bearing him swiftly
away from the steamer ON which he had been
journeying to New York and to this day he
can form no reasonable theory as to how he
came to be drifting in the waters. None of
these men were intoxicated when these
accidents happened, and this fact clothes the
casualties with mystery From the NsS
