STATE HOUSE.
Spring Fishing Is Re-
ported Unusually Good.
Special Orders From Office
Of the Adjutant General.
One Mans Figures For Year In
the Poultry Business.
STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Next Meeting Of Governor and Council
Tuesday, May 26, at 10 A. M.

Speaking on the subject of spring
fishing one of the well-known author
tiles at the State House said yester-
day that the present season which is
now well underway is proving an I'M
usually good one, and that the fishing
IN the great majority of Maine waters
this year, as compared with that of
last spring, is better. The fishermen
are. he said, catching more fish than
last year, and larger ones.
In some places, in Cold Stream POND
in Enfield for instance, where last year
the fishing was not as good as usual,
the season opened up early this spring
and the fishermen are making good
catches of both trout and salmon. No
reports lave as yet been received at
Grand Lake stream but as those wa
tiers never fail to yield a good catch to
the fishermen who visit them it is safe
to say that this year is proving no eX-
ccption. At Mooschead the season has
just begun this week. but parties of
fishermen are already enjoying the
sport and it is reported that they are
having fine fishing
1t is expected too that the fishing
season will last longer than usual
this year because of the continuance
of cool weather. Last year at Moose
head lake the fishing season continued
late into July and was better than
ever before, the reason being that the
season was cool The fish do not seek
the deeper waters of the ponds ana
lakes until the water in the shallow
places becomes warmed by the sum-
mer sun, and as with the cool weather
that has characterized the spring sea-
son thus far the temperature of the
water is yet low and will remain 50
for some time to come.
In Kennebcc waters the spring fish
ms is unusually good, ard more fish
are being caught than during any
season for a long time, with the ex-
Ccptior of two years ago when the low
water in the lakes and ponds made it
more difficult for the fish to secure

their natural food. The early fishing
at Cobbosseecontee that season was
good but it did not hold And speak
ing of this particular body of water,
there are more big fish being caught
from its waters this spring than ever
The taking Of a 15-pound salmon from
this lake gives it the record of having
produced the largest fish ever taken
from lake in Kennebec county, and
in addition to the capture of the fish
in question number of others have
been taken this spring ranging in
weight from nine to II pounds. The
trout are also\ running large, ranging
from six to seven pounds. all of which
goes to show what the State is doing
in the way of propagating fish in its
inland waters.

MANCHESTER,


OHbcrt l.. Basford, who passed away
at his hcmc III Manchester April -.
WAS born iii the town of East Liver
more, March 4. 1S43. When q boy his
parents moved to Fayette, where they
resided for many years. When a young
man. and for several years previous
to his marriage, Mr.. BasfOrd was the
popular clerk of that Old-time hosiery
known as the Central House in Au-
gusta, where he made many friends
from all over the State, finally going
back to Fayette where he engaged in
farming which vocation he followed
until five years ago. During his life in
F'ayette Mr.. BasfOrd was an hOnored
citizen, holding at various times the
highest office in town affairs. also rep
resenting his class in the Legislature
of 1895. In politics Mr.. BasfOrd was Il
life long Republican. He was charter
member of Startling Grange, p. of H.,
No. 156. of Fayette, being at several
times lis master. In all his public ser
vice Mr. Basford was always found to
be of unbiased judgment. conscientious
and 4 thoroughly efficient officer. He
was also a member of Co. T.. gath
Maine Volunteers, and saw much ac-
tive service. In June 1876 Mr.. Baslord
was united in marriage to Mae L.
Stevens Of Fayette, who died in June.
1893. The union was blessed with two
children, Herman L., who died at the
age of Is years, and l.. Birdena BaS-
ford, who lives at home. In October,
1894 Mr. Basford was again married
to Miss Lizzie S. Gould, who survives
Five years ago Mr. BasfOrd sold his
farm in Fayette. purchased the present
pretty home in Manchester and retired
from active life to enjoy the we'll
earned rest and fruits of his labor,
Soon after coming here his health be-
gan to fail and, while much interest
cd in the affairs Of his town. he was
unable to take an active part as in
former years. He was, however, a
member of the school committee at the
time of his death. On coming to this
town he Immediately connected him
self with Manchester Grange and was
q loved and honored member of the
same. always giving his best thoughts
ard careful judgment to the interests
of the order which he always held
close to his generous heart. A noble.
self-sacrficing man is gone: man
of sterling integrity, of warm genial
nature, a true friend. kind and low
ing husband and father. possessing q
wide circle Of friends. in all of whom
is always felt a personal interest, en-
dcaring himself thereby to all who
were privileged with his acquaintance.
During his long and painful illness.
never once was he heard to complain
al the lot which was his but instead
was ever looking cheerfully ahead to
better things. The Christian fortitude
which lac displayed during all his SUI
fcring was a beautiful example and
vel worthy Of imitation. Besides the
immediate family. one sister. Mrs.
George H. Moorers of Vienna, and a
brother. DR.. ]. l.. Basford of Boston,
