remained in the country, after the hls- toric battle, until General Wayne put an end to the troubles in that section, and then Hague came south with his Indian family, bringing with him some Uchees and Sowanokas (Shawnees), and settled them on Pawn creek, now known as Line creek, at place near the mouth of the creek, and on the Montgomery side Hague died and was buried on an old mound near where there was a will lage, settled by the whites, and called Augusta.
 The famous Indian, Savannah Jack, was his youngest son by the Uchee In- dian wife. I do not know that 1t would be slandering the illustrious dead to say that Savannah Jack was the Marshal Ney of the old hostile Indians; he fought through the war; and after their terrible defeat at the battle of the Horse Shoe, and Andrew Jackson moved his troops to the place where he built Fort Jackson. The Indians then became very much dis couraged and commenced coming in. All the chiefs who had controlled the various Indian towns would come sufficiently near to hear what was being done. Sa- vannah Jack sent his women and chill dren out upon the headwaters of Catoma, and secreted his warriors between a cypress brake and the river, not far above the present city of Montgomery. Weath- d much more influence than many who were, placed his people on little island in the Alabama river, near the mouth or Noland creek, that flows into the river on the north, or Autauga side, known as Moniac's island. Weatherford's people were Tuskegees Peter Mcqueen and his Talassees quartered themselves upon the headwaters of Line creek. John and Sandy Durant, the brothers of McQueen's wife, and also of Lochlin Durant, re- mained with Mcqueen. Josiah Francis, the prophet, and Nehe Martha Micco the Otisee chief both of whom were hanged in the year 1878. by General Jack son, placed their people not far above the Federal crossing on the Catoma. Hossa Yohola, a very white half-breed chief, called by the Indians 'The Singing Sun," took shelter in the dense cane forest in the bend of the river opposite Montgomery. He was considered one of the most reckless fighters in the na- ton. Ogillis Incha, or Menauway who was the principal leader at the battle or the Horse Shoe, and first thought to have been killed, carried his people near the falls of the Cahawba river, where he remained for more than year after peace was made.

The Temporary Capitol.

For about a year now or until the
addition to the State house is COM
pleted, the Blaine mansion near the
capitol will be used for several of the
departments which were obliged to
move on account of the changes and
the offices are now in running order
and much of the States business is
conducted at this house. The man
sion makes an ideal place for tenn
porary state house and Gov. Fernald
has the library as his office, the place
where many of the famous speeches
of the late lamented "Plumed knight"
were written and where his political
lieutenants were wont to congregate.
Although some of the departments are
a little cramped for room yet things
are moving along smoothly. There
is possibility, however, that later
the offices of the inland fish and game
commission and the forestry depart
ment, which occupy the north half of
the first floor of the Blaine house
may be moved to the business district
down town.
The south half of the lower floor
of the mansion is occupied by the
executive department. The governor
and council will occupy the parlor
and the private secretary and steno-
grapher is located in a room at the
west end of the house, better known
as the billiard room. The educa-
tional department, the state assessors
and the superintendent of building
occupy the second floor.
The working Office of the secretary
of state has been installed in the ju-
dietary ROOM while the private office
of the board of railroad commission
ers is utilized as a private office by
Secretary of State Arthur |. Brown.
The office of the attorney general has
been placed until the repairs are
made in the private office of the bank
examiner. The auditor of state print
ing has been placed in the office of
the board of health in the basement
of the capitol.
The portraits in the rotunda of the
State house, the portraits of the fa-
nous Sons of Maine, will be removed
in a few days TO place of safety un-
til after the building. remodelled and
enlarged, is ready for occupancy on
| the first of next December The two
great cases of battle-scared flags will
also be removed Monday and the de-
molition on the capitol will be car
ried forward.

Fish and Game.

"As a whole, the fishing and hunt
ing season of 1909 has been, all things
considered, the best in the history of
the State" said the Hon. L. T. Garlic
ton of Winthrop, chairman of the
commission OH inland fisheries and
game recently.
No season has ever equalled 1t
during the time from May to Septem-
Der ia the number of people who
came from other states to fish and
spend a vacation in the inland terri
tory of Maine," continued Mr.. Carle-
ton, "or in the amount of money ex-
pended among our people in building
new cottages and summer homes,
and never in a single season were
there ever so many fish caught.
"The hunting season has not been
quite up to the average of the last
few years. While more moose and
bears were killed than last year, the
record of the transportation through
Bangor shows that 121 moose were
shipped through there this year as

against III last year and 26 bears
this year as aginst II last year. Few
er hunters have been in the State and
fewer deer have been killed, the
deer season being practically over now
so far as hunters from outside the
State are concerned. The record of
transportation through Bangor to
date is 2519 deer as against 2906 for
last year, or n falling off of about
IA per cent.
Various reasons are given for this
falling off, such as poor conditions
for hunting and fewer hunters. yet
there seems to be pretty general
agreement that there are fewer deer
in the State than formerly.
1T is impossible to estimate accur-
ateiy the number of visitors to Maine
on a vacation during the season, as
no record is kept of 1t. Those best
qualified TO judge, like the general
passenger agents of railroads, esti-
mate the number at no less than $50
900. This number may be too large
but the probability rs that the mum
Der is between 200D00 and 250000.
The number of visitors who have
been here to hunt, while we have not
full returns from our agents, who
sell the bunting licenses, will be about
1000.

Governor Talks about Maine.

Here is a little extract from an af-
ter dinner speech made by Gov, Fer
nald on his recent southern trip with
Pres. Taft which is going the rounds
of the out Of State newspapers with
many favorable comments; II am
from the most eastern state in the
Union, Maine, and there is no part of
this great country more interested in
the conservation of our natural re-
sources than are the people of Maine.
They have read with much interest
all that Mr.. Pinchot has had to say
on these subjects and heartily endorse
every theory and proposition he has
presented. Two-thirds of our State
is still covered with forests, and 1t is
probable that one-third OF the grow
ing spruce is confined to the northern
part of our great State. BY legisla-
tive enactment and by a judicial
opinion of the Supreme court, we
have determined that the rights of
the common every day man and wo-
man are to be protected and con-
served, and hold 1t to be a part of
our common heritage. Our rivers are
capable of developing wonderful wa
ter power. and we propose to prepet-
uate this particular resource for the
benefit of all future generations. The
immediate problem under considera-
ton for the deep water way on the
great internal highway, the Mississip-
pi river, is of great interest to our
people, and although 1t is in the en-
bryo of the development, anything
that may be of interest to our COM
men country. will receive the support
and assistance of the people of
