Maine's big game season closedTat mid
night last Wednesday, and from the
records kept of game passing through
Bangor, it appears that the kill of both
moose and deer has been very nearly
equal to that of 1908. 1t is estimated that
about 5000 or possibly 10000 deer were
killed in Maine this season. Only about
one-half Of the deer killed are transported
by rail, and Of these about two-thirds
pass through Bangor. Some hunters and
guides think that game is becoming
scarce, while others believe that the
animals are as numerous as ever, but
that they have moved further back.
The students of the Shaw business col
lege, Portland, will celebrate their
twenty-fifth annual reunion at tbs Audi
torium, Portland, on Jan. 1. Gov. Fer
nald, Mayor Strout and Hon. E. G. Rey-
nolds have been invited to address the
students. Several thousand invitations
have been mailed, but many of the old
students have not been reached by rea-
son of the uncertainty of address. It is
the earnest desire of the management Of
the college personally to invite every old
student, and those to whose attention this
notice comes are invited, whether they
have received a previous invitation or not.
Complimentary tickets will be mailed
upon application, or they may be secured
at the college Office on the afternoon of
the date mentioned. The Bangor and
Aroostook and Maine Central railroads
will give reduced rates.
