No birds are killed, only the nests and

it is hoped that this particular breed of

stay and the people of Boston. like
those of other cities will simply have

toward the driving of the English spar

committee was then appointed to raise
funds for the reintroduction of the bird.
A large shipment was made in 1885 and
the birds were turned loose in Green

era in the United States. and DR.. 7. 5.

Bangor News: Maine is the home of
the canoe and this part of the State in
particular seems to be in the front rank
in building models which combine the
qualities which are considered admira Bile.
None of the graceful proportions of the
Indian bark canoe have been lost in the
present time models. and the white mans
ingenuity has added many improvements,
so that now canoe is the lightest most
graceful and, when properly handled. the
safest of all the small craft used on fresh
water. The five Old Town manufacturers
all tell the same story in regard to the
number of orders which this year are
from 80 to 100 per cent. greater than in
any previous year.
