The recommendation of the grand
jury to pay road overseers was per-
haps a step in the direction Of better
roads. But law enacted to pay both
overseers and hands would result
more satisfactorily TO the travelling
public and be less expensive than the
present system Of doing nothing.
Some radical changes will have to
be made soooner or later for our
county \roads receive very little at
tention fromi road hands and less from
the convict camp.
So long as the hands liable to road
duty fail to perform that duty, they
could be relieved in future by being
compelled to pay a communication road
tax OF say one to two dollars. Then
let the highways out by contract to re-
sponsible overseers, bonded, in Sec
tions Of from five to six miles in
length. Let him hire his work done
and keep his road in good condition
for period of say five years for a
stated amount OF money In case
this tax proves insufficient to insure
good roads, then levy tax of say 2J
cents on each buggy or one horse We.

Some scheme like this would insure

FRANK 3. Howl, Edltor and Publisher
Deer Hunting and Guns.

Commissioner Thomas is authority
for the statement that the annual
open season for deer this year will
not be fixed until the necessary
proclamation is issued by the COVER
nor To make doubly sure bill was
introduced and passed In the house
yesterday fixing the season for deer
with horns not less than three inches
long from November 8 to November
IA inclusive. The proclamation by the
governor suspending the hunting sea
son so as to reduce the danger from
forest fires, which has necessitated
moving the deer season down the cal
endar into November, will probably
preclude the enactment into a law of
the bill to permit the shooting of doe
this year.
One Of the arguments that has been
brought up against the proposed open
season for doe is that the privilege to
shoot both buck and doe would re-
move one OF the safeguards against
accidents in the woods. 1t Is argued
that II hunters were to shoot both
buck and doe they would not wait to
see the horns on the living target but
would shoot at every moving thing In
the brush. The shooting of doe deer
is allowed in other states and the
open season is now on in Maine where
more big game is killed every year
than in any other state in the east
According to a despatch to New
York paper there has been a shocking
list OF fatalities In the Maine woods
this season No less than nine hunt
ers have been killed and a larger
number injured 1t is noticeable, how
ever, that the list records but one
fatality in which the victim was mis-
taken for a deer In almost every In.
stance the tragedies were caused by
downright carelessness.
The hunters who go into the woods
next week cannot take too many pre-
cautions A gun is a dangerous in
strument, even when handled with
the utmost care. 1t is not plaything
In any sense of the word and should
always be treated with a full compre-
hension Of its power to destroy hui
man life 1t should never be pulled
through a fence by the muzzle and
should never be put into or taken out
Of a wagon while loaded It should
never be pointed at anybody under
any consideration. With every pos
sble precaution there will be no
chances for accidents during the
week beginning November 3, but If
every hunter will do his part 1t will
be possible to carry out the season
without any human killings.
