A STEP FORWARD.
Commissioners Pave the Way
for the Government
By Allowing Petition as to Highway
North Of Postofice.
Department Will Now Make Plans
May Build in the Spring.

All interested in the proposed addi-
ton to the Federal building in this city
will be glad to learn that the petition
of the government for a discontinuance
of a portion Of the highway at the
north of the present building for pur-
poses of extending the building in that
direction has been granted by the
county commissioners.
Having obtained this the govern
ment is in position to take definite
steps looking to the construction of
the building
Without such q grant from the COM
mission, it would have been necessary
to have constructed the addition to the
building on the original lot to the
south and east.
AS previously stated in the Journal,
this could not have afforded either a
symmetrical or a suitable structure
and it would have been as inconvenient
as unsightly.
It is expected that the department
will at once make plans for a building
such as was roughly sketched in the
Journal one year ago, and it is hoped
that work may be done in the spring.
The city is of course to be protected
in the matter of a suitable highway to
the WharVes, which is to be built by
the city and paid for by the govern
ment. Arrangements for this will prob
ably be among the first matters pro-
Vided for.
In connection with this many express
the hope that the city will improve the
appearance of the old town landing, a
work that is generally thought to be
needed and which. it is believed, can be
done more cheaply at this than at any
other time.

STATE HOUSE.
Farmers May XIII Deer to
Protect Their Crops.
Common Law Gives the Right and No
Statute Needed.
Commissioner Matthews Coming Re-
port-Visitors-Notes.

At the fish and game department,
they show disposition to be somewhat
amused at the resolution adopted at
last weeks meeting of the State
Grange, urging the Legislature to pass
a law giving farmers the right to pro-
tect their crops and their property, by
killing deer or any other wild animal
which may trespass thereon.
"Such a law is absolutely I'M
necessary" said Chairman Carleton, in
discussing the matter, because, under
the common law, every farmer has
such right already, and no court will
uphold a commissioner or warden in
prosecuting farmer for killing a deer
which was destroying his crops. I do
not see why they have so much to say
on this point, for whenever 1 have been
asked any questions on this subject, by
farmers or others, l have invariably
replied to this effect. l have also
written letters to the newspapers, and
to one newspaper in particular which
has shown it's unfairness in refusing to
publish them. There has never been a
GARNER prosecuted in this State for
defending his property against wild
anu tIlcit IlCNCi VIII ne WullC
I am commissioner. If a deer, or a
herd of them. trample down farmers
)at field, the game law gives him as
much right to kill them, as he would
lave to kill a hawk which was carrying
,ff his chickens, or a bear which he
taught eating one of his sheep.
I'm New Hampshire, q few years ago,
here was close time on minkS. One
day a farmer killed a mink, which he
found invading his hen house. Some
)ver-Zealous game warden, had him
arrested for it. The case was carried
10 the higher court, and in a long and
earned decision, Chief Justice Doe up
held the farmer in killing the mink,
uling that the protection put upon this
lnimal by the state could not prevent
my citizen for killing it when it
lttacked his property. No such case
anne before the courts of Maine, but
here is not the slightest doubt that if
one ever does, it will have the same
result as in this case in New
Hampshire. Any lawyer will tell you
the same thing, and so do not under
stand why the farmers, or few OF
them, ignorantly persist in attacking
our game laws at this point. law by
the Legislature would give them no
more rights in the matter than they
nave now.
while the common law of this and
every other state, thus gives the farmer
The right to protect his property
against wild animals, it does not give
him possession of the wild animal, 50
killed. No doubt, most farmers who
would kill a deer which invaded their
field. would feel that they had riGnt
to cut up the deer for use on their own
table or to sell. But such is not the
case. The deer is the property OF the
State. and when it is protected the
farmer has no right to eat Venlson OF
sell it, though he has a right to XIII the
deer if it was damaging his property.
In such a case his honest lawful course
would be to notify the authorizes VINO
would proceed to have the deer SOLD 10Y
