Both are practical shoe men and thoroughly under

of years, been an ovcrseer in factory ut Milford

Boston. Mr. Rogers has long been in the employ
of Messrs. Critchett Sibley, Belfast, and is a

them inducements to locate there, but Belfast has
better facilities. Messrs. Condor l. Rogers will
invest their capital in machinery and will ask the
business men of Belfast to help them along. From
$4,000 to $4,000 is needed to put the enterprise or

to pledge as a loan. All business men will readily
understand the benefit to be derived from anothe,

These gentlemen, rich in experience, but limited

the small amount required will be pledged, and

which can only be compared to the chances

HUNTING THE MOOSE.

The True SpOrtsmans Three Methods.
"Stiu Hunting" Fire Hunting"
There are three ways of hunting the moose
that are worthy the attention Of the true
sportsman, viz: still hunting, fire hunting
and calling. To the base creature whose sole
idea of sport is to do as much destruction as
possible, or turn il to mercenary purpose,
there is a fourth method known, to wit,
''yarding, which consists simply in slaugh-
tering the poor animals like sheep in pen
when the heavy SHOWS Of winter have made
them prisoners In their yards" as their
chosen feeding grounds amidst the forest are
called.
Fire hunting explains itself, as it is moth
ing more than hunting by torchlight and
the raison detre Of it is this: The moose Is
particularly fond Of the roots Of the water
lily In order to obtain this dainty, which
seems insipidity itself to the human palate,
he does rot hesitate to dive down deep into
the lily pond. If the dive Is successful he
stands In the water munching one end Of his
prize with supreme satisfaction, while the
other projects from his mouth after the man
ner of cigar, md it is just at this moment
that he falls prey to the willy hunter, who,
knowing the fascination that fire has for the
animal, steals softly along the surface OF the
lake in a canoe with a blazing torch or dark
lantern held in the bow. AS the light falls
upon the moose's inquiring eyes they shine
out from the surrounding obScurity like twin
stars and we'll aimed bullet carries death
to the noble creature they have SO innocently
betrayed
The art Of calling, in any perfection, is
rare indeed, even among the red men. 1t Is
effected by means of a peculiar birch bark
trumpet Armed with this the Indian, &C
companied by the hunter carrying the best
| rifle, betake themselves to the spot which
| holds out most promise Of good fortune. An
experienced moose hunter lays down the
| following as essential preliminaries to success
| in calling The night must be absolutely
! calm, for the moose is so wary that in coming
! up to the call he will invariably make ciSels
| down wind in order to get scent of the ami
NAL that is calling him, and as his powers of
scent are almost beyond belief, he is sure to
catch a sniff of the hunter long before the
| hunter can catch a sight Of him. Secondly,
it must be moonlight; otherwise how are you
to see your moose when he responds to your
invitations Thirdly, there must be bull
moose minated within reach of your call
and fourthIy, you must find a dry spot TO be
on, well sheltered by trees, with open ground
all round it, across which the moose has to
come in approaching you.
Still hunting or creeping upon the moose
is, no doubt of all three methods the most
sportsmanlike. 1t can be followed through
the autumn months and into the winter until
the snow becomes SO deep and heavy that Il
harry the poor moose, whose thin, sharp feel
cut through the crust as would a horses hoot
is nothing short of a cowardly cruelty

HilO News Letter.

1t would, in the opinion of some, be a
good idea to let each district elect its
own assessors and collectors, as has been
suggested, instead of leaving the appoint
ing power to one man on each island.
Another innovation is the building OF
a shanty on the bay front-a butcher
shop. There are already three shops OF
this kind and two more are to be started.

time enough to deliver a set speech on
the great importance OF the Volcano
road, SO as to cover themselves, with
glory before the glory has departed from
the reform Legislature, which it is hoped
will not soon be, but that this House
may long be remembered with gratitude
by all the people of the island of Hawaii,
particularly by Hilo.
There have been two meetings OF the
people to discuss the Volcano road and
there is a general desire to have 1t made.
Tourists will find it more pleasant to go to
the Volcano by way of HilO on account OF
the scenery which is so tropical, and as
the road from Hilo to the Volcano will
be through the woods mostly, the ride
will be enchanting. 1t is proposed to
hold a number of meetings to talk over
the matter and urge the Legislature to
pass the bill. r.,
