INLAND FISHERIES AND GAME.

In twenty five states OF the Union, and
throughout the Dominion of Canada, Ii
censes must be secured before resi-
all. In some sections of the United States
the privilege of hunting is not extended to
non-residents The commissioners of In
land fisheries and game In their annual re-
port, which you Will shortly receive, rec
ommend the enactment of license law to
apply to nonresident hunters of large
game. This would AFFORD sufficient revenue
The Somerset reporter., 1903-01-08

to provide an efficient warden service and
at the same time protect our game from
being destroyed by class of hunters who
come to Maine In increasing numbers each
year, leaving little II any money among
our people, and apparently relying upon the
sale Of the game which they may secure
to defray part or all of the expense of
their vacations. Such visitors are not de
sirable. They are not Source Of any rev
enue to our people, and | can personally
see no reason why the state Of Maine
should maintain a game preserve for them
free OF cost. The property Of all our peo
pie bears Its part Of the expense of main
tanning this department, yet only portion
Of our citizens participate directly In Its
benefits. Why, then should not citizens of
other states who come here to share these
privileges bear some part Of the cost of
their maintenance?
AS time goes on a much larger number
of people will come to Maine each year to
spend their vacations and to hunt and fish.
No other state In the Union presents so
many attractions as ours. and we should
see to it that everything possible is done
to bring the desirable summer resident
within our borders. Our game should be
fully protected, and above all our lakes
and streams should, wherever practicable,
be stocked with the product Of our fish
hatcheries.
| know that you fully appreciate the
great Importance OF the fish and game in
terests TO the people of the state. and will
take such action as is necessary to main
tain our present advantageous position In
these matters.

HEAVY TONNAGE MOVING
THE LOCAL LOADED CAR MOVEMENT
NOW AT ITS MAXIMUM.
Reports as to the Future of President
Loree, of the ID. & o. Lack COnfir-
nation-GeneraI Notes.

The loaded car movement with all lines Is
at its maximum, and with this every engine
and car in order is in service. The car serv-
ice associations are holding roads closely to
the rules Of the organization, and cars are
unloaded and loaded with a promptness
never before known. Indications are that
the corn crop will considerably exceed the
vorable for few days. In other lines of
freight the tonnage is heavy beyond prece-
dent for September, and. Notwithstanding
the fact that the roads have more cars and
more locomotives than at any former pc
riod, shortage in both lines of equipment
stares traffic officials in the face and the
only hope is that weather conditions will
continue such that locomotives can haul
their allotted capacity. Week after week
local lines are showing the largest loaded
car movement in their history and this
when but few In service of less
than $1,000 to $4,000 pounds capacity and the
big locomotives hauling from fifty to seven
ty cars TO the train. The city depots are
crowded TO their utmost daily with incom-
ing and outgoing freights, as are the bulk
tracks, and more men are employed at the
city freight depots in all lines connected
with the freight business than in any for
mer year. The train records show that
there were received and forwarded at In
dianapolis in the week ended Sept. II a total
of 81, 317 cars, 23SSS being loaded, against 2l,-
400 in the corresponding week of 1902 and

GOOD-HEARTED ROOSTER.
Gathers q Brood Under His Wings
Like a Mother Hen.

Huntington Qnd.) Herald.
j. A. Bussard, who lives on the county
infirmary road not far from the Jonas Bus
sard place, owns a large. awkward philan-
thropic rooster that has lately become
quite curiosity in the neighborhood. He
has assumed the parental responsibility of
a brood of little chicks.
BY accident the little Ones when at
tender age were deprived of the love and
thoughtful rooster, would have been left
to face a cold and unsympathetic world
alone. 1t is fact that as soon as Win
field (this is the ROSTERS nance found out
that the chicks were orphans, he felt that
something should be done, and there
were no volunteer StepmotherS to come to
the front, Winfield had the courage of his
convictions to provide for the offsprings
himself. He began clucking much like an
old hen, but his coarse tone of voice fright
ened the youngsters at first. Winfield did
not get discouraged and by degrees won
the confidence and affection of every men,
Der of the brood. His big feet scratched
furiously for the support of his proteges
and he was soon the center Of attraction
in the poultry yard. When evening came
and he conducted the little innocents into
a small coop where he had never been be-
fore. and gathered them carefully under
his wings, the sight was something which
Mr.. Bussard regarded as almost incredible
and simply amazing.
The rooster continues faithful In devo-
ton to his charges and they are growing
finely. Winfield is a wonderful rooster and
could possibly lay eggs IL necessity de-
manded such an innovation In poultry cir
cleS.

The Detroit & Toledo Shore line. owned
and operated jointly by the Grand Trunk
and the Clover Leaf, will use the tracks Of
the Toledo Terminal Company. President
Norton, of the Clover Leaf, is authority for
the announcement that a contract to this
effect has been signed. This has been done
in the face of strong opposition from all
railroad interests having lines into Toledo.
The subject was taken up in New York. and
the most powerful interests on Wall street
brought pressure to bear against the Grand
Trunk and Clover Leaf to prevent the sign
ing of this contract. The interests antago-
nistic to the Terminal realized that it would
and a tremendous effort was made to pre-
vent the contamination of the deal
President Norton, of the Clover Leaf, took
a determined stand, and at several meetings
in New York showed conclusivey that both
physically and financially the Terminal en-
trance was advantageous to the Shore line.
The result is a personal victory for Prest-
dent Norton as we'll the Terminal.
For through passenger and freight service
between Buffalo and st. Louis the Terminal
tracks will be used from Ottawa river to
Copeland Ottawa is the junction of the
Shore line and the Terminal, and Copeland
Is the connection with the Clover Leaf. This
section Of twelve miles will virtually be-
come a part of the Shore line, although the
Terminal Companys engines will also use
the same track.
