Daily Kennebec journal., 1906-03-23

The results of little judicious adj
vertising are being demonstrated just
at present at the fish and game depart
mcnt by the many calls and inquiries
which are being received at the depart
mcnt on account of q notice which ap-
peartd in the Journal Il few days ago,
telling Of the arrival of new Speci-
men for the museum. The notice WIS
not published on SPACE rates, l:ut the.
results which followed its publication
were just the same as if it had been,
all of which goes to show the benefits
of advertising. The inquiries are all
about the freak animal which was
captured Il few months ago in the wilds
of Somerset county, and which no one
as yet has felt qualified to give 4 name.
Some Of the naturalists at the Capitol
have advanced theory that the ami
nal Is an overgrown weasel, but while
il is not difficult matter to work out
a theory, one oftentimeS has to go
some to prove the truth of the theory
after he has worked it out. The
above theory seems to have been upset
by letter which Chairman Carleton
has received from Game Warden Frank
J. Durgin. Of the Forks. The letter
states that the animal WAS caught by
Oliver G.. Adams the latter part OF
January. on the Lower COldStream
township. about ten miles northeast of
the Forks, and that while several
weaSels were caught at about the same
time. all of them We're white. Sew
eral wears ago. while in the same 10
Icality, Mr.. Adams caught another ami
n. b. IN r,tIactinn nnlV the
first caught was larger. and at that
time h- called il a freak mink. Col.
T.. G. Farrington. who is much inter
est-d in establishing the animals
identity. will take the measurements
and a description Of it. and forward
them to Manley Hardy. the veteran
trappcr. fur dealer and authority on
game animals. at his home in Brewer.
