At the hearing held at Etna Thurs
day forenoon by the commissioners of
inland fisheries and game, on a petit
ton asking that Etna and Parker

hotel in Bangor Thursday afternoon.
on petition asking that Lambert lake
be closed to ice fishing for a period of
five years, but after the petition had
received a reading by the commission
ers the hearing was continued to Tues
day, Feb. 6. in the common council
room at City hall. at 8 o'clock i'm the

Tho full board Of commissioners was

The fish and game commission has
| M
from Michigan and 600. 600 suuare-tail
trout eggs from Colorado, the first
named eggs being sent to the hatchery
at Monmouth. and the others to the
Mooschead lake hatchery.
One of the items on which 4 saving
of money will be made for the State
during the present winter. and on ac-
count of the mildhess Of the weather.
will be that of the coal supply. In
ordinary winters by the first of Feb
ruary both of the big boilers which are
needed i'm heating the Capitol will have
been in operation for two months, but
up to the present time, from the day on
which fire was built under the first
boiler in September, there has been no
time when the single boiler could not
produce steam enough to heat the
building. 1t was not desired however.
that one boiler should be allowed to do
all the work, and on Jan. 20 the fire
was hauled from under the first boiler
and the second boiler was placed in
commission. There are about three
months in the year when the boilers
are not in operation, but during the
other nine months at least one of them
is sending steam into the pipes. Fire
is usually started under the first boil
er about the middle of September, and
early in December the second boiler is
set in operation. The service of the
two is required until the following
March, and sometimes April, when the
fire under the second is allowed to go
out. The other boiler is kept in COM
mission until June. and sometimes as
late as the middle of the month. 1t
Will thus be seen that there are but
very few months in the year when
there is not steam going through the
pipes of the big building in which the
business of the State is transacted.
The present winter has thus far ex-
Ceeded in mildness any within the
memory of the Oldest employe at the
Capitol. and while the possibilities of
the Maine winter climate are unlimit-
ed. and that there mayayet be weather
when both boilers may be needed, the
season is drawing to an end. and the
present indications are that one boiler
will be sufficient to do the heating I'M
til the time comes for shutting it down
in June.
