A VERBAL ENGAGEMENT
Between Rep. PattansalI and Obadiah
Gardner at Wild Land Hearing.

The committee on taxation held q
four-hnur hearing Thursday afternoon
at which were discussed all the bills
now in their keeping in regard to the
taxing of wild lands, including so"dc
which had not been assigned for d
hearing at this time, An interesting
feature of the hearing was brief vcr-
bal engagement between Representa-
tive Pattangall of tho committee and
Obadiah Gardner OF Rockland, former
Democratic candidate for Governor,
ending in a fiat denial by Mr.. Gardner
of an allegation by Mr. Pattangall. who
minated that Mr.. Gardner had stated
before the committee that the Wild
land men and the Changers had got
together in certain matters. Mr.. Gard
ncr finally explained that what he uld
saw was that THE wild land men were
coming to us" and stated that he
meant by this that they preferred TO
adopt the position Of the Grange than
TO have the committee adopt the land
value idea
Senator Deascy explained the act
creating the Maine Forestry District.
Senator Millikcn expressed his APPROX
al of the bill and said that it proposed
to do in wild land towns precisely what
is accomplished in municipalities py
the municipal tax.
Representative Pattangall explained
his measures providing for an increase
in the school mill tax fund providing
for a tax of three mills on the dollar
on the assessed valuation of the state
aud for a highway fund of three mills
on Il dollar.

tee were Hon J. p. Bass of Bangor.

SPORTS WE'RE PLEASED.
Bouts at City Hall Thursday Evening
Call Out Big Crowds.

Hanks had the crowd at City hail
last evening, and also the goods with
which to entertain the sports that COM
posed the crowd, and while the serics
of bouts which was given in the
squared circle in the center of the hall
was unaccompanied by any of those
little trips to sunderland which are
very apt to occur during a pugilistic
demonstration, the performance was as
whole very palatable. Five bouts
were pulled off and almost any one OF
them was in itself worth the price OF
admission.
The prettiest bout of the evening
was that between Tommy RaWson OF
East Boston and Young Cote of Bidde-
ford, being an exhibition Of science
throughout and fast enough to suit the
most fastidious. Rawson, who is one
of the cleverest of the little fellows
who have come to Augusta, won many
friends by his work last evening, while
Young Cote put up the best fight that
he has yet shown in Augusta. Had a
decision been given it would have gone
to RaWsOn on points.
Not a bit behind this bout in quality
although the quality was different, was
that in which Tommy Bergen OF Lew
iston went up against Young Delaney
of Northboro, Mass. The man who gets
into the ring with Bergen has got to
go some or take a sleeper, and in De-
laney he found one who had the speed.
Say, but Mr.. Delaney was some indus
trious and energetic, and also some
proficient in the ballet, and in the hrst
two rounds it looked as if he was go
ing to hand out the riff raft to Tommy
faster than he could stow it away, but
Tommy is somewhat Of mixer him.
self, and before the end OF the bout
he had Mr. Delaney tanned so that 1t
was safe to approach him at almost
any angle But the scrap was q good
one and both lads did well.
The opening bout was between
Young Nedeau of Lewiston and George
Dennis of Boston. Nedeau is another
Bergen on a small scale and he carried
the fighting to Mr.. Dennis throughout
the bout, and the latter part OF the go
the latter was content TO hang on at
every opportunity. 1t was the Lewis
ton youngsters party by good mar
gin.
Other events on the card were bout
between Kid Stringer of Augusta ana
Young Alberts OF Lawrence, Mass,
which was rather too slow to prove
interesting but in which Alberts held
his own, and another bout between
Billy Clark of Lawrence. Mass, and
Joe Lamoine of Worcester, Mass,
which was stopped in the second, La
moline being outclassed Harry Sears
very acccptably officiated as referee.

FAvoRs PRESENT FIRE LAW.
Forest Commissioner Ring Says 1t
Gives Best Results.

In discussing the various forestry
bills pending before the present legis-
lature, Hon. E. e. Ring, forest COM
missioner, said Thursday: AFTER a
careful study for many years of the
best laws for the prevention of forest
fires I am satisfied that the present
forest fire law of Maine gives the best
results of any law that could be en-
acted. l believe that with a reasonable
appropriation that the forest fires in
the State OF Maine can be practically
eliminated.
1.-THE fact that so much mas Deen
accomplished from the very small APP
preparation which we have had to
work with shows what we could eX-
pect it we had the funds to establish
more lookout stations and fire patrols.
From the best information that l
am able to obtain find that Maine has
suffered less in proportion to its wood
ed area during the season of 1908, than
anv other State east of the Rocky
mountains, including the Canadian
Provinces. In addition to the efficient
work of our chief and deputy forest
fire wardens, this result has been
brought about by the. cooperation OF
the wild land owners who have no
doubt expended as much as the state
has appropriated, and to the further
assistance of the proprietors of the diff
ferent sporting camps throughout the
State, the fish and game wardens ana
registered guides.
'The fact that loss from the forest
fires in the incorporated towns during
the dry season OF 1908 was greater than
in the wild lands is another proof OF
the efficiency Of our forest fire laws
for the unincorporated townships.
Maine had the first forest fire pat
rol ard lookout station systems inau-
gura.ed in this country and a better
proof of its value cannot be cited than
the fact that New York, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, California
and Washington states are adopting
it's main features. Hon. Clifford Pin
chot chief forester of the United
States, has gone so far as to say Maine
has the best forest fire law of any
state in the union

f. P. Wentworth. superintendent of
the State School for Boys, at South
Portland. said that he was before the
committee more as listener than as
speaker.
But" said Mr.. Wentworth, Juvenile
courts and probation systems have
been successes in other states and l
see no reason why it should not be sue
cessful in the State of Maine. In Port
land the probation system has been a
great success where the probation of
ficer, Mr.. Grover. looks after the de-
linuuent boys and girls as well as the
older people. ! have known personally
OF the great success of Judge Lindsey

which has been investigated by the
representatives of foreign governments.
and which has been adopted by some
of them. 1t rather seems tONmc. how
ever, that the municipal courts in the
state should act as juvenil" courts.
The judge of a municipal court should
have a private room where the youth
full offenders should be brought in
without a policeman and without pub
lefty This judge should talk to the
offender like a father to "a boy.
THE probation system prevents
many boys from going to the State
school. but even with the probation
system in the city OF Portland, there
are some boys who break the rules
and finally land in the State school.
There is a strong tendency to ad-
ycrtisc the misconduct of children
