The postponed quarterly meeting of the
Maine board of health will be held today,
at the Office of the board. Among the
matters that will probably be given att
tentiOn, is with regard to what will be
asked for in the way of Legislation with
reference to the law for the prevention OF
the spread of contagious diseases which
was passed in such a form at the last
session, as to be OF no value to the board.
They may, as has before been stated in
the Journal, ask that this law be amend
ed slightly to make it practicable.
The Governor and his new Council will
hold their first meeting after organiza-
ton, Wednesday.
Much interest seems to be centered in
the meeting Of the Maine Sportsmen's
Fish and Game Association, Tuesday eve
ing, which was postponed from the meet
ing last Monday. Al that time il was
not known just what the stand of the
Governor was upon the subject, but now
1t is learned that he agrees that a IL
cense tax should be placed upon the hunt
ers of big game as was recommended by
the board at the meeting.
Another prominent sportsman who likes
the sport of having an afternoon with the
birds, says he would be willing and would
do all tin his power to place license up
on all sorts of hunting, birds as well as
big game if it should be proposed. He
thinks man who really loves the sport
for the sport itself, would not object to
paying a little for the better protection
for the sake of the benefit and lease of
life it would give the sport He thinks
that those VINO enjoy shooting should be
willing to pay a small sum which would
greatly assist the support of a better pro-
lection without additional funds being
furnished by the State. by so assisting.
the money that is appropriated by the
State could be devoted to that great at
traction to the STATE fishing
The fate of the proposition of the COM
mittee on legislation for a license for kill
ing deer in September, is still in doubt.
1t was acted upon favorably at the Mon
day meeting, though there was some OPP
position, but the vote was rescinded upon
the motion of Chairman Carleton who
was i'm favor of advising the Legislature
to make the law. He made this PROPOSE
ton of resembling the vote that it might
be dicussed more fully at the meeting.
Tuesday night, and thus have both sides
of the question brought FORTH to see if ii
really We're the best thing One of the
strongest arguments against the idea, is
the idea that the lumbermen would OBJ
ject on account of the liability to fire.
The interest in the condition of Con-
H.
since it was learned that he was serious
ly i'll. and never was it more so than on
Saturday, especially about the State
House. On every side upon the visit of
the Journal to the place was asked if
any further reports had been heard from
Names famous representative.
The prevailing opiiaipn seems to be that
no man in Congress would be missed
more than Congressman Dingley in case
of his death. OF course all the heads of
at the State House are per-
sonally acquainted with Mr.. Dingley and
on that account alone, they feel an inter
est and hope for better news regarding
his condition.
From all appearances ii would seem as
though Secretary Y0ung's report of the
Maine board of healfh would be as far
famed as the previous numbers of the
boards reports. A special department of
the report which was written by Secre-
tary Young on 'Dismfectants and Disin-
lection is attracting more attention than
any ether. The reqtfeSts for a copy of
this article of the report of the board are
coming i'm from all over the world. The
las. report went out to every part of the
globe and this one seems to have started
well in sh.s direction. In the last week,
letters of request for a copy of the report
n which is the article on disinfectants,
have been received from a surgeon in one
of the institutes in Geneva, Italy. from
the capital of Chilli, as well as from 9TH
er Places.
State Carpenter Q. !. Stone and Mrs
Stone who We're SO badly injured by be-
ing in a hack that was overturned, Fri
day. were feeling very much better. Sat-.
urday, and their bruises and sprains were
not 50 troublesome.
The recess quiet was more pronounced,
Saturday, than on the previous day. Only
a very few representatives and senators
were seen ABOUT the state House. Ii was
said by many who have been in the State
House for long time, that they could
not remember when at the first recess 50
many went TO their homes. OF course the
appointment of tine committees at the
s,art had much to do with this. as with
this one great subject out of the way. the
minds of the members were easier and
they had nothing of any account to
stay for.
They will begin to gather in today so
matters will assume a livelier aspect. !.
