Guide j. G. Harlow of the Mooseheal
section Of the country. is acitating a
guides association. He was over at the
Sportsmen's Association in Bangor this
week. and had talk with some or the
leaders in the line of fish and game in
terests. He says it would be magnili
cent thing to have an association Of
Maine guides that will assemble annual
ly In convention. each section of the
State being represented and ready for
business. He believes the work they
could do when united would amount to
something. He would. of course, have an
executive committee that would meet oc-
casionally for the purpose OF Fighting
wrongs and keeping the members in
touch with one another ana all the sec
tons of the State in harmony.

evening. - officers of the National
Guard organizations in Portland as
sembled to talk over the advisability
OF forming an officers association. Ad-
jutant General Richards was present
by special invitation and showed
deep interest in the project. The mat
ter was discussed informally and the
views of all the officers present We're
fully presented. 1t was the general
idea that an officers club should be
organized and it was suggested that
it be extended to include as honorary
members the past officers of the Ma
tional Guard of this State as we'll as
those who are now officers Of the
Guard who do not reside in this city.
In the formation of the club the com
pany Of the National Guard at West
brook will be considered as a local or
ganization.
1t was proposed to establish head
quarters at the armory where the ofli-
GERS. past ana present. and those resi-
dent in Portland. as we'll as in ether
cities Of the State might drop in at
will ana enjoy a social or 4 profitable
