Commends Names Guide Law

Shooting and Fishing, one OF the lead
ing sportsmen's journals, commends the
Maine system of licensing guides in the
following editorial:
We have repeatedly stated that the registering
and licensing of guides In the State of Maine
was step in the right direction, and that soon
er or later the example would be followed by
other states whose game and FISH interests are
important 1t Is likely that Colorado will soon
adopts system of licensing guides. What we
have said of the licensing of guides IN Maine
repeat TO Colorado. 1t will be a good
thing for the guides and just good for the
sportsman. The game will be better protected
and more under control by those responsible
for ii.
Commissioner Carleton, of Maine, deserves
full credit for originating and carrying out the
guide licensing system in his state. He has
seen it develop to a complete success, and 1t Is
likely that he will see his example generally
adopted in other states before long.

Capt. Mark Gray, retired shipbuilder
of Bueksport, died Wednesday, aged six
ty-two years. Captain Gray was born on
Cape Roster, but all except the earlier
years Of his life were spent in Bucksport.
His long and eventful career as ship
master, builder and owner was marked by
many vicissitudes and his strokes of en-
terprise and perilous ventures make up
the history of a remarkable msn-one
known all along the Atlantic coast in his
day, and rare type OF genuine Yankee
skipper. 1t is estimated that during his
life Captain Gray has sailed, owned, built
or been interested in hundred different
vessels, and at the time of his death owned
in a dozen or more.
Captain Gray served his town accept
ably one term in the State legislature, and
always took much interest in matters per-
