Here followed the first real warm
discussion of the evening. Hon. A. NJ.
Spear OF Gardiner, was introduced as the
Original license man" Mr.. Spear pro-
ceeded to sift Mr.. Oaks argument in n
manner that caused quite commotion.
He said that Names game belongs to
the people and 1t is not equity to impose
a tax on them for the advantage OF the
hunters. He then told how hard it had
been to secure the appropriations and
mentioned the fact that by mere chance
the Changers at their annual session i'll
Bangor had been prevented from intro
ducing resolutions advising the farmers
to oppose any appropriation for fish and
game at the next session of the LeSiSla-
ture Mr.. Spear said that there was only
one way to get more money and that was
by imposing "A fee on nonresident hunt

owners who We're in favor of the license

ment that the timber lands were being
depleted through the negligence of hunt

due" said Mr.. Spear. mot to the hunters
but to the great corporations such as
Mr. Oak represents.
Hon. Il. u DluuGlOiu Il
member of the board Of railroad commits
sioners, was the last speaker. He spoke
of the position which the railroads took
in the matter. He said that it was doubt
ful if = single cent more than is now APP
propriated for fish and game would ever
be obtained from the State. He believed
that the neople who came here to hunt
should be made 40 nay something for
their fun.
1t was intended to have speeches from
Hon. H. NJ Heath of Augusta, a. M.
Gleason of New York, president of the
Megantic Club, Hon. j. F. Sprague of
Monsoon. and others, but it was so late
when Mr.. Chadbournc finished his re-
marks that the meeting was closed. Dur
ing the evening an exhibition of moose
calling was given by James Brown and
Wm G. Atkins, two Well-knoWn guides,
which proved to be a most entertaining
feature of the session.

Mr. Cartoons address was received
with rounds of applause. He was fol-
lowed by J. w. Bracket, editor of the
Maine Woods. who made an interesting
speech in which he told what the
guides associations in the Range1ey re-
gior had done towards protecting the
fish and game in that section of Maine
Mr.. Bracket believed that the licens-
ing of sportsmen should be tried iirst
on those hunters from out of the State
who came here after moose. He was
of the opinion that if it proved to be a
success with the moose hunters that
it could then be tried on those who
hunt deer only.
Hon. V. NJ. McFarlane of Greenville,
senator from Piscataquis county dur
ing the last Legislature. was the next
gentleman introduced. Mr. McFarlane
read a lengthy paper in which he told
of the great slaughter of game in the
Moosehead lake country last fall by the
Ohio and Indiana hunters. He then
made some comparisons of the amount
of money left in the state by this class
of hunters and that left here by Massa-
chusetts and New York sportsmen
which. while being very amusing car
ried with them n good deal of common
sense. He said that if the Western
hunters We're allowed to go on in the
manner in which they did last season
that our State would soon be depleted
| Of it's game. He favored taxing nOn-resi-
dent sportsmen by all means. He said
more money for the protection of the
game was absolutely necessary and
! there was no other way Of getting it
| except by imposing n tax. Mr.. Nc
| Farlane said that heretofore he had
been strongly against the question OF a
nonresident tax but facts and the
change of conditions had made him
change his mind. He said he had talk
ed with New York sportsmen within
| the past few days and they favored the
| tax and wished that it might be
brought about Mr.. McFarlane favored
| a license of $40 for each sportsman
! from ont the State who came here to
4 hunt and he hoped that the fish and
] game commissioners might see thefy
/! way clear to make every two hunters
who visited the Maine forests next year
employ registered guide.

license for nonresident hunters was Hon
c. T.. Oak of Bangor. an ex-member OF

present land agent for the Great North.

II do not wish to take up your TIM

ton in regard to imposing a tax on RON
resident hunters for big game.
For two years the State has appropr.-
ated $25 800 for the propagation and pro-
lection of fish and game. Now, we net
every cent of this sum to maintain on.
hatcheries and supply the fish needed TO
stock our lakes and ponds. 1T is for the
best interests of the State that this
alton be expended for this purpose; for
the reason that the fishing interests
bring so into the State where the large
game interests bring only one dollar.
Hunting for large game is good now
but If those who enjoy the sport and ia
dulge in it wish to keep it up, the
should help pay the bills. In word i;
there are those who desire the large
game better protected than it is possible
to protect the same at present. they mu I
