Chairman Carleton of the fish and game
commission. is telling of an incident
which occurred over in the western part
Of the State that is conclusive proof that
the policy of protection for fish and game
is rapidly gaining in Maine.
1t seems that in one of the towns in the
Rangeley region resident had occasion
to go into the woods some time ago for
the purpose of killing hawk that was
bothering his poultry. After tramping
about for some time he came out into a
clearing He stopped at the edge of the
open space to rest. AS he stood there
beautiful doe deer came out of the woods
within easy shooting distance and stood.
A temptation to shoot came over the
man. He. tried to resist it. but the de-
sire to kill the deer was too strong for
his better Judgment and he up gun and
fired. The deer fell dead.
No one had witnessed the shooting and
so long as the man did not try to take
the carcass home the prospects were good
that no one would ever know who COM
mitted the deed. He started for home
and as he neared the house the conviction
that he had done wrong kept growing on
him Once indoors he sat down and be
gan to reason with himself-how foolish
it was for him to worry about the killing
of the deer. His conscience would not
down, however and at last he arose, went
to the barn. harnessed his best horse and
drove to town. In town he went to the
trial Justice and complained of himself
for killing the deer The justice made
out a warrant, arraigned him, The man

I'VE are now on the verge Of the big
gest game season which the State of
Maine has ever Witnessed said Game

to a Bangor Commercial reporter. Fri
day. There will be more people in the
woods this fall and there will be more
game taken out than ever before. They
won't wait until October either The
September license law will have the effec;
of once more filling up the woods with
sportsmen during that month.
at is impossible for a man to go
through the woods for a day now with
out either seeing moose or abundant sign
of their close proximity. ! have no hest
tation in saying that there are many
more moose in the woods this fall than
last, Notwithstanding the enormous num-
Der which were killed and brought out on
the railroads. The whole northern part
of the state is literally alive with them.
AS far as deer are concerned there are
fully as many as there were last season.
Last year, you will remember, was an ex-
ceptionaly good one, but ] should not be
in the least surprised if this falls record
will beat it, l know certain sections
Guilty in seeing anywhere from a dozen to
q deer in day. although it's one thing
to see a door and another thing to shoot
one. especially for the average run OF
sportsmen.
During the course of my travels
through the woods this summer l. have
failed to see a single caribou or even find
traces of any. 1t is my belief that most
of these animals have gone back into the
provinces.
My theory is that the deer and caribou
do not get along well together and that
where you find the one are plenty, you
seldom find the other For instance, a
few years ago when the deer were scarce
there were caribou in Maine in abund-
ance. AS the deer became fore numerous
the caribou began to disappear until now
there are practically none. Then again,
take the Canadian provinces where carl
bou abound and you will seldom run
across a deer. The two species evidently
had some strong antipathy for one an
other but what it is ! don't attempt to
explain"

FUTURE OF PUERTO RICO.
General Davis Says the Island Looks as Kan
sas Did After the Grasshopper Plague.

General G. w. Davis, Governor OF
Puerto Rico, recently spoke briefly of
the present condition of affairs IN that
island.
1T would be impossible for me to
discuss any of the proposed schemes
of government tor Puerto Rico,' he
said, seven if desired to do so. |
will say, however, that the necessity
of a military government for Puerto
Rico is rapidly passing away.
"It is true that the people have had
little or no experience in the exercise
OF civil rights, but they are rapidly
improving, and the municipal elections
which l have been conducting show
most gratifying results There is no
doubt that the limited suffrage already
given is giving them an incentive to-
ward helping on the education of the
people and preparing themselves for
more extended rights. Whether they
obtain these or not, it will not be
necessary to retain the present mill
tary government long.
SIN regard to the material prosper
ity of the country can speak more
definitely. No country can be called
prosperous when it is ust recovering
from a catastrophe which destroyed
two. thirds of its current wealth. That
is what the great hurricane did to
Puerto Rico, and it will be years be-
fore its effects cease to be felt. AT
present there is much poverty, and
farms and other property are heavily
mortgaged, but with the improved
trade conditions which are bound to
come, | am confident that these mort
cages will be paid off. Puerto Rico
to- day is In the same condition as
Kansas was after the grasshoppeI
plague. Kansas came safely out Of
her troubles, and SO will Puerto Rico.
81 don't think there is the least
danger that free trade with Puerto
Rico will do any harm to the tobacco
and suguar producers of this country.
The amount of tobacco raised in
Puerto Rico is a mere bagatelle, and
the sugar product amounts, l be-
lieve, to only one eighth of that o.
Hawaii. They are only drop in the
bucket, and it is preposterous to sup
pose that they will play havoc with
domestic products.

direct public attention to what looks
like scandal involving the War De-
partment, or some of its subordinates.
How the thing looks to outsiders may
he judged from the following remarks
OF Mr.. l.. J. Powell, a Hong Kong
business man who is nov IN Washing
ton: The surprising inactivity of the
U. S. War Department IN the matter
of opening the hemp ports in the
Philippines is hard to understand.
With the price of hemp more than
400 per cent. above the normal, and
the whole supply IN the hands of
few wealthy spectators holding on
for a still greater advance, it will be
hard year for the wheat-growers and
shipping men. American farmers use
$Io,ooo,ooo worth of binder twine
each harvest, and if the bill should be
to two or three times that figure no
doubt there will be some lively kick
ing from them, 1t is openly charged
IN the East that some of the military
authorities in the Philippines are on
the friendliest terms with the specu.
lators who have cornered the market,
and are representing that to open the
ports and slip out hemp would put
money in the insurgents pockets
This is absolutely false statement,
for all the hemp now stored at block
AIDED ports is owned by American
and English merchants. There are
no insurgents in the vicinity of many
OF the closed harbors, yet the military
authorities refuse to let reputable
merchants remove their property"

THE WHEAT CROP.
Yield Last Season Placed at SAT 800, 900
Bushels.

The statistician of the department
of agriculture reports the wheat crop
OF the United States for 1899 at SAT,
100000 bushels, or 1873 bushels an
acre.
The production of winter wheat is
placed at 29I,7oo, 900 bushels, and
that of spring wheat at s55,6oo, 900
bushels.
Every important wheat growing
state has been visited by special agents
of the department, and the changes in
acreage are the result of their investi.
cations.
The newly scheduled area of winter
wheat is estimated at 3o,I5o, 900 acres,
which is about 10000 acres greater
than that sown in the fall of 1898.
The sowing of wheat is still going on
in California and some of the south
ern states, and the foregoing estimate
is subject to correction. The aver
age of condition is Oh.
The acreage sown with winter rye
is estimated at seven per cent. less
than that of last year. The average
of condition is 9S.2 per cent
The compilation of the annual re-
turns from individual farmers is ap-
preaching completion. Any slight
changes that may be called for in the
average yield of an acre of corn, oats,
barley and other crops, as published
on October 10th, will be made at an
early date, and the final hgures will
be available.

Deception,

In speaking of the despicable trait
of character, deception, the Punxsu-
tawney Spirit is led to say; "Of all
the mean characteristics of humanity
the one that everybody hates most is
deception. 1t is easy to forgive a
man who is boldly and openly your
enemy, but we can have nothing bu,
the keenest contempt for plgeon-liv.
cred indivldua! who pretends to be
your friend when he is in fact your
enemy, and is secretly plotting your
overthrow.
1t is only the weak and &C wardly
that practice deception. The manly
spirit disdans disguise. Deception
always implies knavery. We never
deceive for a good purpose. But
double dealing brings Its own punish
ment as inevitably as a violation o
the laws of health brings disease anc
weakness. 1t is better to appe a
unfeeling and brutal in an honest dis
play of your real feelings than to be
suave and smiling for the purpose o
ensnaring your victim in the meshe'
of misplaced confidence.
1t pays to be honest and straight
forward in all things, for by rugged
honesty man continues to grow il
the respect and esteem of his fellow
man as long as he lives, while by tht
practice of duplicity he gradually bu
slowly becomes an object of universe
dlstrust and contempt"
