Chairman Carleton, of the commits
sion of inland fisheries and game, has
received from Game Warden Ellsmere
of Washington county, the particulars
surrounding the killing of 4 COW moose,
the carcass of which arrived in Au-
gusta, Saturday afternoon. From the
statement made by the warden, the
COW was evidently killed by mistake.
The killing was done by gentleman
from another state, who has been in
the habit of coming to Maine during
the hunting season, for a number OF
wears. He had, with some companions,
been in the woods for several weeks,
during which the others had secured
some deer and gone home. but Wishing
to get one. himself, he remained after
the others had gone. Late one after
noon, he ran across the animal. and
mistaking it, in the darkness, Tor a
deer, he shot and killed it. When he
found that it was a cow moose, ne al
once notified the warden what he had
done. and the two got the carcass OUT
of the woods, and it was sent to MI
Carleton. OF course, the violation OF
the law will have to be punished, but
considering the circumstances Whlcn
surround the case, the court may be
disposed to be lenient.

Mary Jane Romeo of Old Town, was
the guest of the city, last night and
occupied exclusive quarters at the city
building. Mary is a descendant Of the
once powerful PenObscot Indians. and
is not at all bad looking, as Indian
women go. but somehow she got mixed
UP with the firewater of the palefaces,
Monday, and wandered far from the
hunting grounds of her tribe, so far,
in fact, that she landed in Augusta.
She came down from the east on train
No. 10z. with another squaw and had
she remained on board, she would have
been all right, but she made the mis-
take of getting out of the car, and try
ing TO walk across the station platform
in a. straight line. This she could not
DO, and her footsteps were so wobbly
that Deputy Marshal Hanks was
obliged to take her in charge, for fear
that she might fall by the wayside.
She was taken to the station and will
probably be allowed to take the trail
for home, this morning.

Just what the newspapers make them.
If the papers will do business on a

rate for everybody. and refuse TO
cut down to get business, the question
Of rates and just compensation for

newspaper makes a cut rate for one
man. in order to secure his business,
and makes another special rate TO
another man, it demoralizes its busi-
ness. and soon its space becomes of
no value to any advertiser Business
men would take ii as 4 gross insult
for a newspaper to ask them 10 sell

And vet newspapers will grant just

THE IMPRINT OF THE PIONEER.

When such noblemen as J. NJ.
Church. Of Ia Grande. pass frbm
earth. the country blessed by their
presence in life. suffers an actual
loss. To such sturdy pioneers is due
the stability Of Western institutions.
and the sterling character that marks
Western business circles
When ]. NJ Church. Captain Will
liam Martin. E. D. Stnlman and other
pioneers came into the wilderness OF
Eastern oregon. there were few law
years. few courts Of justice. few no
taries with their bonds and oaths TO
bind and seal business transactions-
but the integrity Of such men had
need for but few Of such things.
Their word Of honor was always Ie-
gal tender. without the stamp OF the
notary 10 bind il; their promise was
as good as the gold deposited in the
bank.
The influence and example Of such
men left an inspiring and royal i'm
print on the succeeding generation in
the West The firm foundations they
laid in private and public institutions
bore everywhere the mark of their
individuality, the imprint Of the piO-
neer passed current in all the centers
-of trade and commerce on the Pacific
coast
When J. NJ Church first began in
the mercantile business in wallowa
county and Grand Ronde. it is said
that at times Portland wholesale
firms would send him merchandise
TO the amount OF over $4,000 in
the course Of the year. with no other
guarantee Of their pay than an open
account and the word of ]. NJ.
Church. So great was the confidence
Of the public in these splendid men
who settled the West. no other guar
antee was needed nor required
Promptly. as the seasons rolled
around. the payments were made to
the cent. thus establishing still great
er credit for such men on the From
tiers. and leaving the indelible i'm
print of pioneer integrity on the
growing state
Young men who came in contact
with such men, and learned their bus
mess methods from them. imbibed
that sterling honesty. became follow
ers OF the patriarch pioneer. Thus
the imprint of those men is seen in
the business circles of the West. in
politics. society. public institutions,
and everywhere that character is re-
-quired or integrity pu, TO the test
