KILLS BIG MOOSE
WITH LAST BULLET
BILL DOUGLASS, AN OLD MAINE
GUIDE, HAS EXCITING E&'
PERIENCE.
TRAILS THE ANIMAL 19 DAYS
Stays the Charging Moose with Last
of His Cartridges-NearIy Freezes
to Death, But the Hide Saves
Him..

Bangor, Me.-The longest moose
hunt on record in Maine Is credited TO
William Douglass Of Eustis, who now.
at the age Of 81, still pursues the call
ing of guide for hunters, and kills his
full share of game every season.
Douglass was born in the woods OF
Maine and has never been out OF the
shade of the pines for longer than a
few days at time. All he knows he
has learned in the woods, and he is as
much at home in the depths of the will
derness as any bear or wildcat He
can tramp for days without firing.
The long moose hunt upon which
rests much of the fame of Old Bill
| Douglass lasted IS days, but 1t yielded
a prize that paid him well for all his
work and exposure and for the danger
he encountered at the last, when the
bull charged upon him and fell before
the last shot in his rifle.
It was a cold, snowy morning when
Bill started to tramp down his moose

but he was used to cold, hunger and
hardship, and made up his mind that

ing around in the woods he wanted
it. Completely equipped and with pro-
visions for ten or twelve days, he
started to find the moose tracks, and
soon came upon just what he was
looking for-the tracks of large bull.
So familiar is he with moose and their
ways that he can tell from the size
and shape of the tracks and from
other indications nearly the weight
and height of the animal and also
it's sex.
When followed by a hunter moose
for the first few days will keep miles
away; after that tagging along, just
out of hearing distance. Finally, when
| nearly tired out and enraged at pur-
suit, the animal will turn and make a
furious fight if not dropped by good
shot. For II days Douglass hung on
the trail of the monster moose, and
for II cold nights he slept in the
woods. The morning of the 18th day
he found him out of food and suffer.
ing from rheumatism, but he had no
idea of quitting. He shot buck deer
that gave him four days food, and
kept on after the big game. On the
18th day he caught sight of the moose

long.
At p. M, that day the hunter
heard a loud believing, and the next
instant saw the moose charging down
upon him like a runaway locomotive.

bull, but none of them seemed to have

seemed swinging over his head Bill

to the one shot at King Bartlett's
lake, the largest moose ever killed In
Maine.

ATTORNEY GENERAL IGNORED

 After the nomination of Judge Grubb rumors were rife that the organiza ton having been turned down in this instance, the President would continue to appoint the best men he could find regardless of the organization. Since the Grubb ap- pointment, however, the President has all lowed no opportunity to escape to show his loyalty to the organization.
 The case of District Attorney Parsons is case in point. As the representative of the governments legal department in Montgomery, Parsons has rendered excel lent service. Attorney General Wicker sham has been outspoken in his praise Or Parsons work, and has told callers at the department that he thought Parsons deserved another term.
 In word the Postmaster General thinks President Taft also deserves another term, and he therefore ousts Parsons and puts in Reese, in whose political ability he has more confidence than that of Par. sons. The same thing happened when Marshal Judkins was busted at Mont

COTTON GOODS IN
 GREATER DEMAND

Providence, R. l., March 5.-(Special.)- )- There is little more demand for medium grades of cotton goods and the mills, by making price concessions, are taking oil more contracts than at any time before in several weeks.
 The makers of standard close-woven goods are feeling more hopeful than they were even week ago. The new business Is being done at prices one-half to three- quarters of a cent a yard below the high figures which prevailed in December and January, ut the manufacturers express belief that bottom has been touched in the presena low basis.
 Actual cotton today costs the manufac- turer fully as much as at any time this season. Mill men who buy heavily say none Is being offered. that holders of cot to nare as independent as ever and that strict middling cotton, such as issued for standard close-woven goods, cannot he obtained for less than Is cents It is de- elared that the condition of the cotton market Is having no effect on business in the cloth market, the apathy being due to lack of normal demand for goods.

Albuquerque. N.

If the delegation finds that the com mittee on territories has completed it's hearings it will appeal to the demo- cratic senators to defeat the bill.

Washington, March 5.-Dividing prac- tically upon party lines, the Senate, at the close of the third session on the legis- lative bill taken up on March 3, today passed the administration postal savings bank bill. Of the 72 votes cast 50 were in favor of the bill and 9 were against it. All the negative votes were cast by democrats, even Mir. McEnery, who had voted with the republicans throughout the consideration of the bill, in the end tying himself up with his own party.
 Senator Chamberlin of Oregon was the only democrat who stood with the TO- publicans in favor of the bill
 As it goes to the House the bill au- thorizes the various money order post offices to accept sums of q or more from depositors, and to deposit these sums in the local banks, where the money Is to remain unless withdrawn by the Pres ident in case of war or other exigency. In case of this withdrawal the funds are to be invested in government securities but with the proviso that such securities shall not draw less than 2h per cent in- .erest. The control of the funds is vested in a board of trustees composed of the Postmaster General, Secretary of the Treasury and the Attorney General.
 
 depositor is $500 and NO person Is per mitted to deposit more than s1o0 in any one month.
 The government is required to pay per cent interest and must exact not less than 2A per cent from the banks, the extra quarter of one per cent being re- quired for the payment of expenses and losses.
