Of Interest to Sportsmen and Va
cationists.


Although some thousands of tourists
flock to the deep woods and charming
lakes of Northern Maine every year for
their annual vacation, there is yet room
in this great natural playground, nearly
5000 square miles in extent, for many
more thousands to hunt, and fish, and

the vacation attractions of Northern
Maine in particularly comprehensive
and entertaining manner. 1t will tell
lust where the famous fishing grounds
are, where big moose and graceful deer
abound, what canoe trips are best to
take and how to take them, and much
other information that is interesting to
any reader and invaluable to any person
who proposes to visit this vast recrea-
ton region. The book will have 1872
pages, with cover and two full-page
inserts printed in three colors, and over
a hundred half-tone pictures, taken
from actual photographs, illustrating
the text. A large map, clearly printed,
and showing the entire B. & A. region
in detail, including the canoe routes,
trails, camps, etc., will be bound with
the book, and nothing will be left un-
done to make this forthcoming volume
of even greater interest and value than
any of its predecessors.

A Ynmhln weather Prophet.

After having listened to so many
predictions of hard winter in Ore
goD this year, it is mighty comforting
to learn that these representations
are all wrong and that January and
February will be months of showers
and sunshine especially when this as
surance comes from no less an author
ity than Uncle Eli Branson Of Yam
hill county. Eli has for many years
made study of hogs melts and their
relation to the weather, and he tells
the editor Of the McMinnville Reporter
that the melts this fall indicate very
mild winter. They appear to be a
little larger at the front end, which
he takes as an indication that the first
part of the winter is going TO be the
big end. And that's 'jist-jist-by-the-
sir" the way it will be, If Uncle Eli
predicts it.

HISTORIC GETTYSBURG

boulders that hang on the Round
Tops, falling into the yawning walls
of DEVILS Den, and, through it all,
thrilling with such enthusiasm that

the pen.
Last night, after the meeting held
in the historic old courthouse used as
a hospital during the battle Of Gettys-
burg, the venerable ianitor, G. A. r.
man and survivor of the bloody
three days" told me that a few feet
from where I had been standing a
splendid fellow lay wounded on the
End day Of July, 1868. A shell had ex-
ploded just outside, and one of the
fragments hurling through the win
dow tore the poor chaps face away.

little city, and corn fields still yield
their annual harvest of broken metal
and bleached bones. Only few days
ago, laborers excavating for cellar
unearthed the skeletons of four men.
With one Of the students from the
college-and, by the way, the main
building of "Old Gettysburg" played
prominent part in battle history,
being used as a hospital-we started
on the morning of November 81, in a
light carriage and behind a good
team, to see the battlefield of Gettys-
burg, in earnest.
Only in a general way could we see
it, of course. Days and days could
profitably be spent on the hills and in
the valley, where brother fought
brother until the death. But though
we rushed from place to place, irritated
and hampered by limited time and
myriad things we wanted to see !;
though we could not read all the
monuments, spend moments in all the
historic hooks, or walk up and down
all the trenches and battle lines, we
still had time enough to see, and read,
and feel enough to drown our eyes
with tears and flood our souls with
patriotic veneration for those who
here fought and bled and died, that
the government of the people, for the
people, and by the people, might not
perish from the earth"
We wound first through the streets
of the little city, through which
troopers galloped and infantry

Russian Bonds in America.

That American life insurance COM
panies doing business in Russia have
made more or less substantial invest
ments in Russian securities, more es-
pecially in Russian government bonds,
is a well-known fact, but according to
some New York bankers American in
vestments in Russian securities are by
no means limited to the holdings of the
insurance companies. A banker who
is in close touch with Russian affairs
stated recently that Russian securities
in amounts. running into the millions
are held in America outside of the in
surance companies. In support of this
statement he mentioned the fact that
he himself had list of III investors in
America who were holders of Russian
securities. These investments have
been made chiefly by Americans who
have travelled in Russia and thus have
become more or less familiar with con-
ditions in that country. Many of these
investments are in the bonds of the
Russian railways.-N. 7: Times. =.
