WILL NOT ENTER.
Augusta Banks Will Get Along Without the
Boston Clearing House.

This is the day for the Maine banks
to commence doing their business
through the Boston Clearing House,
but as far as the Augusta banks are
concerned they will not commence us
ing this house and will not use it until
they are absolutely obliged to. They
are not positive that they can be com
PEELED to, and so will hold back.
The situation is explained by one of
the cashiers as follows: The country
banks have become the great collection
agencies of the country. The Boston
banks send us their checks. notes and
drafts and we collect for them and re-
nit At par at stated periods. Now the
only remuneration we receive for this
work is the interest on the deposit the
short time it is in our banks.
The Boston banks now think they
can make us collect our checks through
the Boston Clearing House and have us
collect their notes ard drafts here just
the same. and we have no benefit from
it. We do not want anything that is
not fair, all we ask is a fair remunera
tion or the privilege of using the inter-
est on their deposits for the few days
they are with us, instead Of being
obliged to remit as soon as collected"

very much against good canoeing.
places where ordinarily there is good
canoeing having to be carried, making
it extremely hard for the guide.
They saw a large amount of game.
even though this is in the main thor
oushfare for the cancers going to and
coming from the woods of Northern
Maine. Miss Heath kept an account of
the game seen on the trip. and accord
ing to her account she saw three bull
moose, six COW moose, two calves, three
deer.
Miss Heath made a remarkably fine
shot when she shot that white deer
remarked Mr. Heath, Wednesday,
She killed the animal unaided, firing
at distance of fully 100 yards and
dropping the animal at the first shot
the ball going through his shoulder
Miss Heath also secured some excellent
photographs of the animals in their
native woods She secured several
nice pictures of the deer and one of a
caribou. but she was unsuccessful in
getting one of bull moose. We twice
came near enough 10 make it possible.
but the light was right against the
camera. making it impossible to take a
picture once we came within 80 yards
of bull moose stuck in the mud, but
the sun was directly in our faces.
She took one of a COW moose and
calf at a distance Of not over % feet.
She saw the animals. and having her
canoe put ashore ran after the animals
and took their picture.
There seems to be an abundance of
animals this fall, as in the past. and
the signs Of moose were decidedly nu-
merous"
