Seize Rleached Elour.

Open defiance by millers OF the govern
ment's warning to cease manufacture OF
bleached flour on PAIN of seizure, has led
Secretary OF Agriculture Wilson to take
drastic action.
An order has been issued to inspectors
OF the department Of agriculture to seize
all OF the blesched flour in the country,
and as result OF that action fourteen
consignments OF bleached -four. several
hundred carloads, were taken in the West
Wednesday. Further seizures are expected.
1t is supposed that about $1,000, 900
worth Of bleached -four was manufactured
during the past year and that most OF
what remains Of it is in the East, espec-
tally in and about New York.
About year ago the department OF
agriculture, following experiments, de-
cided that hleached -four is injurious to
health. Then the secretary issued an or
der to prevent the manufacture of such
-four, but for various reasons the millers
were allowed six months to dispose OF
their stock. Some of them obeyed the or
der, but others, it is said, continued their
operations.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years it was supposed to
be incurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced II q local disease and prescribed
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure

ssitutlonal disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh

Game Warden Ross, OF Washington
county, thinks bull moose should be pro-
tected for a time, and COW moose shot.
He says: ''The deer of Maine are gradually
disappearing, as they did once before, and
believe the moose, which are increasing
in number all the time, are accountable !;
for there is no question but that they
drive the deer out. am strongly of the
opinion that the law should cease to pro-
tect the cows as it does at present, and
that there should be close time OF year
or two on the bulls. Never before this
fall have SO many COW moose been seen
in the woods OF eastern Maine without
calves by their side; and the bull moose
are continually harder to find. They are
growing scarcer, and should be protected;
and believe the law should protect them
for year or two at least, allowing cows
to be shot"

Augusta Gossip.

s'The old guard about the state house
have not finished talking about the fall
ure of Gov. Fernald to reappoint Hon.
Der of the State board OF railroad commits
sioners for another term of three years"
says the Augusta correspondent Of the
Bangor Commercial.
at surely came as surprise, but there
are some who say that il the governor OF
Maine wants to appoint one Of his friends
to the office, he surely has that right.
But, on the other hand, there are others
who think that his excellency might
have been a little more diplomatic; that
he might have told Mr.. Spoford a day or
two before the appointment OF Mr.. Jones
was announced. that Mr.. Spofford would
not get another term.
"And behind the failure Of the governor
to re-appoint Mr.. Spofford is the talk
among the politicians that the Hon. os-
| car F. Fellows of Bucksport, former
| speaker OF the house Of representatives,
| and one of the original Fernald men, is to
be selected to fill the place on the railroad
board now held by the Hon. Joseph
| Peaks, Of Dover, whose term will expire
| next spring after a service OF twelve years.
The law stipulates that one OF the three
commissioners shall be a lawyer and Mr.
Peaks is the lawyer me mber OF the board.
1.-THE way the politicians figure it out is
that the governor wants to remember Mr..
| Fellows in substantial manner with a
| good position, and that the railroad
craftsmanship would be just the thing for
him, but that it would not look we'll TO
have two railroad commissioners from the
same town, town that now furnishes the
| state treasurer, and in a county which
some claim has more than its share of the
States patronage.
at is believed that the axe will fall on
| some more OF the 'old-timers', so-called
that is, office holders who have held
down the job for decade or more with
in the next year"

AMONG THE FISHERMEN.
Has Been A Hard Season Along
Eastern Maine Coast.

Has Been A Hard Season Along
Eastern Maine Coast.
The season has been hard one for the
chief industry Of the shore towns Of east
ern Maine. The lobster catch has not
been normal, line fishing has been very
Improbable, sardine business has had an
of year, and the scaled herring or smoked
herring business has not had such a low
market for years as at the presant time.
Smoked herring are in the upward move,
and by the advent OF the New Year prices
promise to be much improved. The
lobster catch is not counted on to be
large during the winter months, but the
prices promise to be higher than last win
ter, so that the advance in price is figured
to offset shrinkage in catch. The sardine
season is about at an end. This branch OF
the fisheries is by far the most important
of all, and though year OF confusion for
the packers, the past two weeks have de-
veloped great demand for this class OF
goods, scores Of steamers and auxiliary
boats daily patrolling the coast, for this
much wanted specie OF herring.
Prices have advanced from Ss per hogs
head for the raw material. Large vessels
have been pressed into the, service Of
transporting these tish, and many thou
sands of barrels Of fish have been trans
ported by the steamers Of the Eastern
Stea mship Co., from Portland to Eastport
and Lubec. Reports are current that
rates are being negotiated for by the
packers from the express companies to
era bic the Gamers to transport sardine
herring from the western parts of the
State to eastern canning plants by express.
