THE loss of life that attends hunting
seems like a wholly uncalled for incident
of the recreation. In every case where a
man is claimed to be mistaken for a deer
or caribou and shot it is clearly the result
of criminal carelessness on the part of
the hunter. Any man who goes into the
woods must have had the necessity of
caution against hasty and careless shoot

LIGHTS IN xemaestc.
New Lighthouses viii 30 Ready for Business

lighthouses. bell towers and homes foi
the keepers are now nearly completed
and will be ready for occupancy by
Jan. I.
BY these lights navigation on the Ken

steamers and the many yachts which
come up the river.
The lights are arranged as follows

The cost of this work amounts to about
$ll.000. The tripod on Ram island. near
Lees island. stands 60 feet high and IS
pointed black. 1t will prove of great as
sistance to mariners during the daytime.
For foggy weather the bell towers situa-

In an editorial article. Forest and
Stream. which is considered one of the
leading magazines dealing with hunting
and fishing topics and which. being an
periodical. is unpreju-
diced in regard to Maine. says that if
Maine continues to increase her fishing
and hunting facilities in the next four
years. as she has in the past. she will not
be able to hold the vast array of sports
men and summer visitors who will flock
here. The article speaks in glowing
terms of the way that the Maine fish
cries have been improved. Three years or
more ago. there were but four ponds
stocked with landlocked salmon. Now
there are over 125 and more are being
added to the list as fast as the hatcheries
will allow.

TWO EXHIBITS
Will Represent Maine at the Great
Sportsmen's Exposition.
Caused BY Warm Rivalry Of Two Sections
Of the State.

Maine is again to be represented at the
Sportsmens Exposition to be held at
Madison Square Garden, New York in
January. This is to be in charge of Miss
Z. L. Crosby. as the ma ragers of the ex-
position consider her one of the greatest
attractions they have had at the previous
eXpositions. A log cabin right from the
woods of Maine to be built by Ranpelev
guides at Reddington. will be the center
OF attraction. with the usual quota Of
guides IN attendance and the best speci-
mems OF Names big game and monstrous
trout and salmon which have ever been
taken VIII be shown. New features are
also being arranged for. but as the ar
rahgements are not completed. announce
ments of these can not be made at this
time. 1T is. however. an assured success

The rivalry that has sprung up between
the Rangeley region and the region en-
bracing MOosehead lake and that along
the line of the Bangor & Aroostook Rail-
road. has caused IA split to be made in
the exhibit. and therefore. the Journal is
informed. there will be two separate eX-
hibits made at the exposition. one by the
Rangeley region. under the charge of
Miss Crosby and the other by the east
ern section. This rivalry will tend to
make much larger and more attractive
exhibit. as each will try to Guido the
other. Those deeply interested in the
future of Names resources hope this
rivalry will produce no i'll will. for there
is need of united effort to make the most
of what we have.
This ,dissension was caused. it is sail.
as a result of some real or fancied griev-
ance. on the part of the eastern section.

as many attractions as the Rangeley sec
ton. while the latter has received the
bulk of the benefit.

The strange and queer are typical Of the

the one-roomed log cabin. Archaeologfsts
are continually digging up new and fearful
discoveries from the bowels of the noun

now. Much Of the money given by south

Some of them never saw Bible.

lated valleys and coves of the mountains
In county after county, extending over
great stretches of country. the one-room
cabin home, lighted by the open door,
where men, women and children cook. eat
and sleep, is the rule: and such living does
rot produce the best class of citizens.
Six thousand of the children of the south
400, 600 of them have no chance of secur-
ing an education. There are Z.OVo,oVO
southern highlanders in the mountains of
Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky,
Georgia and Virginia. They occupy l94
counties. Between 1730 and 1850, 24o,Ooo
people came from Ulster county, Ireland,
to the Carolina shores. They formed the
first republican government in America In
1863. calling it the "Wautauga Associa-
ton" Today the highlanders are poor. ne
elected, outcast. They lost their books In
the early wars. They were driven to the
mountains, away from educational and
business centers, because they protested
against slavery. There are no fnhdeis
among Them although lawlessness abounds.

mountains are the clay-eaters. These peo-

them They are utterly without ambition,
listless and Indifferent of all conditions,

The clay is found along the banks OF the
mountain streams in inexhaustible quanti-
ties and is of a dirty white and yellow
color. 1t has a peculiar, oily appearance,
and the oil keeps it from sticking to the
hands or mouth. When dry it does not
crumble and d little water softens II until
it can be rolled into any shape. The clay
is taSteless, but 1t must possess some nour-
ishment as these people claim they can
subsist on 1t for days without other food.
They place a small piece of it in the mouth
and keep it there until 1t dissolves and
