Help fron, Congress.

The question q imposing tax upon
hunters Of big game is still being dis
cussed, especially among out-of-the-
State hunters who come here regularly
each fall. A letter has recently been
received by Chairman Carleton from n.
II Wright of Selma, Ohio, in which the
writer takes strong grounds in favor OF
a license for Nonresident hunters, but
he also desires a license for resident
hunters.
"As freQuenter of the North
woods says Ny. Wright, Il have TINS
to say OF the game and its hunting. In
places the game certainly has a hard
time. when the lumbermen Kill all WIN
ter and residents kill all summer. If
you wish TO know what the residents
are doing, send a pelt buyer through
the county and see now many spotted
pelts he'll bring out; and notice the
hair rubbed off the hips and rump of
ola pelts by the bucks in breeding
time.
And yet there is a great hue and
cry about the Ohio and Indiana hunt

route.
In my visits to that country l find
the game decreasing with the passing
years. And l fully realize it is only a
matter of a few years when it will be
a gameless country. Therefore, if I had
my say / would not fail to have a non
residents fee of $25 and residents fee
of SIS; and with the proceeds I'd hire
some good game wardens, (Which, by
the way, / am glad to say may be
found in abundance nearby, who will
see that the laws are lived up to with
out fear or favor CT anyone.
Sixty per cent. of the game shipped
out over the c. p. r. is killed by the
retired wood choppers who pose as
guides, at the rate, no doubt, of $40 4

with their stomachs and both are I'M

There are lots of misnomers, even in
the woods.
Il Eafn personally acquainted with
some of nearly every party from Ohio
who hunt in Maine, and l will say that

There is really nothing new in re-
gard to epidemic or other lines said
DR. Young of the State Board OF
Health, yesterday. In this State there
have been lately 10 places where small
pox prevailed. In six of these places
only one case appeared; in one town
there were two cases. and in the other
three places the number was somewhat
larger. l do not think. there is now
any likelihood of an epidemic as mat
tiers are very quiet in places where the
disease has been.
Some of the Western states are
having a heavy run of the disease. One
report | have here shows that there are
Sli cases of smallpox in 161 places in
that State at the present time. In our
own State the deaths have not been
many on account Of the disease and
