G. Q. Shields of New York, president
of the League of American Sportsmen,
has written the following letter to
Governor Hill:
New York, Jan. 5, 1902. To His EX-
cellency, the Governor Augusta, Me.
Dear Sir
| write to ask your official recognl-
ton of this league. You undoubtedly
know something of it's history and its
work. 1t was organized in February
1898. and has now nearly 10000 men,
bers distributed throughout all the
states and territories of the Union. 1t
has working divisions in A states, in
Guiding yours, and has accomplished
more in the interest of game and song
bird protection than any other society
ever organized in this country, though
there are several that are 20 to 30 years
old. l will not take up your time to
recount it's good deeds, but / trust you
may take time to examine carefully
the leafet enclosed herewith, entitled
-Four Years of League Work." If you
will do this, you will agree with me
that this league has earned the recog-
milton and substantial aid of the vari-
Gus state governments.
Kindly examine also the list of names
| on this letterhead. You will FIND
among them the names of many mer
whom you know.
The fifth annual meeting of the
league will be held at St. Paul, Mimi.
Feb. II and II. and 1 have the honor
| to request that you appoint as a dele
gate to that meeting, Col. E. c. Far
md t11t
| sible YOU provide for the payment OF
| his travelling expenses out of State
| funds. Whether or not you may be
| in a position to pay his expenses,
trust you may at least be willing tt
appoint him. This would give officia
sanction to the work and the objects
of the league, and would give us &
better and stronger influence with the
people at large than we could other
wise have.
| The gentleman named is an officer
| of this league, and under our constitu-
Ition. is entitled to seat in the annua
convention. If you should see fit t
appoint him, he would then of course
become ex-officio representative o.
your State on this occasion. and YOU
people would in the future have more
respect for his acts than otherwise
The newspapers will talk more of oui
meeting if it becomes an assembly o.
delegates appointed by the Governor:
Iof the various states than otherwise
and greater publicitey is one of ctil
needs.
| The membership fee in this league
lis but 81 a year. Sixty per cent. O
this is returned to the states whence
the memberships originate and as yol
will readily understand this amount i.
not sufficient to carry on the worl
as we would like to do it. There arr
no funds in the treasury of the League
with which to pay travelling expenses
of our division officers. In case tn
State cannot provide for his expenses
lit may mean that Maine cannot b.
represented at the meeting. Hereto
fore the delegates have paid the ex
lpense of attending the annual meet
lings out of their own private funds
hut this should not be required of then

ell:
To the Honorable Governor and Coun-
ell of Maine:
Whereas, as you are doubtless aware,
the Maine Historical Society at great
labor and expense has collected and
published for many years past several
volumes of early documens illustrating
the history of the State, entitled THE
Documentary History of Maine," and
whereas, the Governor and Council in
accordance with resolve, Chapter
49, approved March l, 1867, have APP
propriated the sum of one thousand
($1000) dollars for each volume of said
series, for which appropriation the
society has delivered to the State Ii
brarian 500 copies Of each volume, and
whereas, the said Maine Historical So
ciety now has in preparation two vol
umes of early documents illustrating
the history of the State, which will be
ready to print during the years 1903
and 1904, the said society hereby prays
that an appropriation of one thousand
$4,000 dollars for each of said volumes
be made as heretofore and paid to said
society upon delivery to the State of
five hundred copies of first volume to
be delivered in 1908, and of the second
in 1904. And your petitioners ever
pray.

STATE HOUSE.
Pardon Hearing Appointed for
Wednesday, Feb. 4.
Maine Historical Society Asks fer
Appropriation Of $4,000.
Col. e. c. harrington Delegate to
American Sportsmen.

A petition has been received by the
Governor and Council asking for the
'pardon<of Thomas O'Hara, alias John
Coltwood, now serving a three years
sentence at Thomaston State prison for
breaking and entering. This petition
is signed by Hon. VIM. S. Greene OF
Fall River, Mass, member of Con-
gresS from the 18th district of that
state, and by more than 100 leading
citizens of Fall River and other Massa-
chusetts places. Hon. David F. Slade,
a member Of the executive council of
Massachusetts, endorses the petition
with a personal letter. The petition
sets forth that O'Hara, who is 10 years
of age, is an inmate of the Maine State
prison; that since his committal his
father has suddenly died, leaving no
support for his wife and daughter. The
boy was of material aid to his family,
and, the petitioners assert, if let out on
parole could aid in the support of the
home now. A hearing has been an
nounced for Wednesday, Feb. A. at 10

The ladies OF the Woman's club ad-
journed In body from their hail yes
terday afternoon to the court house

q row Of young maple trees. This Is
a step In the crusade the ladies' have
begun for beautlfying the city and rid

While all the men who commented on
the action OF the women did not agree
as to the desirability of shade trees In
the streets, they were unit in prais-
Ing the heroic spirit shown in bravely
carrying out the tasks to which they
have assigned themselves In spite of
March showers or masculine criticism.
The trees were paid for by the ladies
themselves. The large holes In the
new macadam street were presented by
big-hearted Sheriff Linvllle, who al
lowed a county prisoner to excavate
them. A sack OF fertilizer for each
tree was donated by Butcher Chrlsten-

We Want a Road.

In the combined districts OF Knappa
and Svensen an i-rmense fertile belt ex
tends southwark from the Columbia
river This land is, with few excep-
tions, neither rugged nor mountainous,
but forms an undulating plain divided
here and there by strips of rich bot
tom lands and slivery streams. Now,
although this country Is closely inter-
sected by roads in all states Of repair,
ther Is not single outlet by road to
Astoria, the only market town, but
~ miles away at the fartherest. There
Is surely need OF county road here,
for although the. farmer can get his
products to the railroad in the sum
mer season, he also divides his profits
with the railroad company. Here truly
lies q strip of farming land equal If
not superior. to any in the vicinity of
Portland, and in justice to the inhab-
itants there and in the interest Of As
toria, a strong effort should be put
forth to establish a line of communica-
ton by wagon road. DARE.
The above communication is gladly
given publicity because 1t affects a
large and important population, and a
vital interest of the city of Astoria as
well, A road that could be Travelled
at all times of the year. connecting this

ing point, would mean dollars to all

The Knappton mill is shut down on
account Of the high price of logs. so
said. When logs are hauled by rail
from Shoalwater bay to the Columbia
and then towed to Portland and cut
into lumber with profit, 1t is difficult
to understand why a mill on the low
er river should he allowed to remain
idle. The fact Of the Knappton mill
having no rail connection and hence
being unable to reach eastern markets
is said to account for 1t, prices in ports
reached by sailing vessels not being
sufficiently high to justify supplying
them.
