HdIiey's Heavenly Visitor Visible to

Halley's comet will be visible to
the naked eye in few days if it is

ing the earth at the rate of 2,5OO, 900
miles day. On the 10Th of April it
will be nearest the sun, though not
apparently at it's brightest, for that
is not its nearest point to the earth.
1t will seem most brilliant May Is, as
on that date it will approach nearest
to the earth.
Any person who desires, may get up
early in the morning and by looking
in the southeastern sky before
sunrise may see the comet. Halley's
comet is one of the largest ever seen,
and its brilliancy, when at its bright
est, is something wonderful. On May
Is the earth will pass through the tail
of the comet, and some people are
predicting dire disaster, though the
probabilities are that nothing of the
sort will occur. At that thine the
comet will be "a, SOC, 900 miles from US.
This comet was last seen IS years ago,
and its next coming will be 19S5-19S9.

How ABOUT FISH /?
Minnesota Laws Relative to the
Finny Tribes
WHEN ONE MAY CATCH
information for the Public Cleaned
From the Game and fish Laws
of the State

The season for the legal taking Of
fish is near at hand, but there are q
good many persons who either are un
Informed with regard to the laws OF
who have forgotten these legal regu
lations. Small boys, especially, are
eager to 60 after the inhabitants Of
the lakes and rivers. Already they
have been out with their hooks and
lines angling for the finny tribes
Through the courtesy of Deputy
Game Warden Jos. E. Miller, The
Herald is able, herewith, TO give the
necessary information relative to the
laws, so that the public may govern
itself and thus avoid getting into
trouble.
Sec. 40 of the Minnesota game laws
reads as follows: ''No person shall
catch, take, kill or have in possession
or under control, for any purpose
whatever, any variety of trout, except
lake trout, between the first day of
September and the fifteenth day of
April following; any black, grey or
Oswego bass between the first day of
March and the twenty-ninth day of
May following; any variety of pike,
muscallonge, Graphic, perch, sunfish,
sturgeon, catfish, or any other variety
OF fish between the first day of March
and the first day of May following"
The law provides that no person
shall catch, take or kill more than
Is, except suntish, perch, pickerel or
bullheads in any one day, nor in any
manner than by angling with hook
and line held in the hand or attached
to a pole, nor with more than one
line or with more than one hook on
one line.
There is q proviso that pickerel,
suckers, redhorse, carp and bullheads
may be taken with spear without
limit any time, but that no artificial
lights shall be used in taking them
during the months of May and June
each year.

LAND IN FLORIDA FIXING A SLATE
DR.. MCMdSters Writes a Word of
Timely Warning
WELL TO BE CAREFUL
Prospective Investors Had Better
Investigate Before Expending
Their Money

While i'm Florida and since my re
turn. have been often asked what
thought Of the everglade project
Well. / devoted three months time
and several hundred dollars to the
subject, and feel that / am more OF
less familiar with it. Before, how
ever. expressing my own views, let
me quote from the letter of tee sec
rotary of the Board of Trade, Jack.
sonville. Fla. He says:
sPeople keep writing to us, and
asking about the reliability of certain
dealers i'm real estate, and they ask
about the taking up and starting a
farm. In answer to these questions,
the prospective farmer is advised,
first of all. to see the land for him
self. I'm addition, l urge no one to
come to Florida unless he has money
enough to buy land, to clear it, to
put up the necessary buildings, to
purchase necessary equipment, and
then enough to carry him over the
first year. This is not land for the
poverty-stricken, but is a splendid
place for the man of small means.
No man can pick dollars out of the
soil here any more than elsewhere.
Cheap lands are still to be had. If
any outsider is thinking of a purchase
we want to impress upon him that he
must exercise due caution regarding
the responsibility of the men with
whom he deals
Had this letter been published in
all the country papers of the North
west. there would not today be two
or three thousand people either pour
ing their money into sink hole, or
trying to conceal their losses. l had
intended writing fully on this matter,
and later on will do so. But for the
present. | can only say in all earnest
ness: Don't, if you are thinking OF
buying land contract for everglade
tracts. Don't, if you have already
bought some of these contracts, and
are paying for them in monthly in
stallments. Stop. Don't pay another
dollar. This advice is the result of
my own personal investigation, dur
ing which | have talked with num-
Der of leading citizens of Florida.
Remember. if it is marked Ever
glade. it is fraud.
Finally read the article 1.-THE Rush
to Florida i'm the March number of
Technical World.
Florida Is all right, or would be if
it were not for the land sharks.
There are thousands of acres of good
land there. to be bought at one-fourth
of the price demanded by these dis
honest syndicates. But you will have
to go there to buy them. In another
issue of the Herald l hope to write
my own experience in everglade lands,
and when I do, / trust it will be
copied throughout the eutire North
west. MCMASTERS.

that similar plan previously adopted
in his campaign for a seat in the
house proved surprisingly effective
and that the day before the primaries
Mr.. Nimocks was able to predict
within few votes the number of
ballots actually cast for him. Mr..
Dwinnell will have to go some if he
hopes to get ahead of Frank. The
card as given above is presented here
not only as indicating the methods
successfully adopted in Minneapolis
but as affording suggestion to other
aspirants elsewhere.
On the ready-made senatorial slate
to which / have referred notice that
Virgil B. Seward is accorded no place.
I have known for some time that Mr..
Seward has had fight on his hands,
but did not understand that so re-
sourceful a politician and so pictur-
esque figure was already altogether
out of the running. Possibly if l con-
suited Col. Whitney I might be re-
assured on that head. At all events
1 find in the list no mention of his
name, the suggestion being made that
his seat will go to either Marcus
Lauritzen or ]. N. Johnson of Candy.
In that particular it would not at all
surprise me if the slatemaker might
later be compelled to revise his ar
rangements. itf- -

BELFAST |! |
Judge Rogers Has s'Busy
Day in His Court.
Lille Josie Curtis, SWanVlIIe,
Sent to Industrial School,.
E. u. littisfield, Therndiks, Con.
vieted ON Cider Sale.

Belfast, Me, July 12.-(SpeciaD.-
Judge Rogers was kept busy for. a
while yesterday afternoon and al
though it was the hottest day of the
season he proceeded to deal out justice
as calmly as though the thermometer
wasn't sizzling. ...-
The first case was a pitiful one, the
respondent being little 12-year- old
girl from Swanville. The child, Jose
Curtis, by name. has for several years
lived on farm in Searsmont but a
short time ago the family was burned
out, the building being struck by
lightning and the little Waif was re-
turned to SWanville, where she has
since been living in the family of AL
bert T. Nickerson. She seemed to have
no one responsible for her, and no rela-
tive appeared for her at the trial. The
complainant was Albert j. Nickerson
of Swanville, who charged her with the
larceny of 81 from, his brother, Thomas
D. N;ckerson. Judge Rogers, after
looking into the case thoroughly, de-
cided that the best place for the child
is the Industrial School for Girls and
ordered her committed. She left today
with Sheriff Carleton for Hallowell. The
little girl is singularly bright and at
tractive and will no doubt with the
training she will receive at the school
become q useful woman. 4
The other case to be tried was that
of Edward H. Littlefield of Thorndike,
ichargetsMith a single sale: of hard
cider. One witness acknowledged buy
ing some vinegar" of Littlefield on the
night before the Fourth, which he SAID
he drank. The judge asked him II ne
was in the habit OF drinking vinegar
but as the witness hedged considerably
on that particular sale. he was aues-
toned on a sale made in the early
snring and Littlefield was convicted on
the evidence He was fined $oo ana
costs and 30 days in Jail. He appeaieo
and Nj. r. Knowlton with Rantle han
of Brooks qualified as sureties.

SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.

Manfred Burgerson of Bowdoinham
had an exciting experience Tuesday
morning while crossing Merrymeeting
bay on the ferry He was coming to
Bath with a load of produce. On the
way across the bay. his big mule be-
came frightened and went overheard
dragging the wagon after him. The
animal made frantic struggle to clear
himself from The wagon, and this was
accomplished finally when the men on
the ferry secured a rowboat and cut
the harness. The mule was towed to a
small island, and then the men set to
work to recover the wagon which had
gone 10 the bottom. The passengers
had all the excitement they cared for
while the mule was prancing about on
the ferry
Following the examination by a naval
board of inspection, the Rockland
course has been chosen as the best of
the courses used over which to try
naval vessels. The two other courses
used, which were carefully gone over,
are the ProvincetOwn. Mass, and the
Delaware Breakwater (known as the
Lewes) courses. Preference has always
been expressed by the Philadelphia and
Newport News shipbuilders for the
Lewes course, where the new destroy
ers are about to be tried. as 1t costs
less money to send the ships to Lewes
thsn to ROckland or ProvincetOwn The
navy department yielded to a recent
request of these builders in this re-
spect, specifying the Lewes course. but
now that the board of inspection has
reported Rockland may be specified In
the future.
