A NOTED GAME WARDEN The commission
of Walter l. Neal of Waldo, who had served
fifteen years as one of the game wardens of
Maine, expired when the administration of
Commissioner Bracket came in and he was
not reappointed, and the State has thus lost
the services of valuable man in that line of
work. 1t was Warden Neal who originated
and promoted the idea of official inspection at
Bangor. When he first went on the force he
discovered that many so-caled sportsmen were
shipping deer out of Maine in excess of the
been going on for years. There was no rigid
inspection or system by which this could be
prevented. Mr.. Neal determined that it should
be stopped and he at once arranged with the
express companies to have slips sent ahead to
identify the game and its owners. In a short
time he had the business throttled and it ceas-
ed. Mr.. Neal, who is one of the best informed
men in the State along the lines of fish and
game, said in recent interview:
81 consider Maine has the finest hunting and
fishing ground in the country today and it is
| steadily gaining in popularity. The sport of
hunting comes at a later season than the regu-
lar summer guests and hence keeps up the
business, in the northern part of the State, at
least. Not only that, but the State is being
seen deer close to my house in the town of
Waldo and they are spreading all over the
county. 1t is only question of short time
before they will be all over the western part
of the State. Then the fish are gaining also
Lakes and streams are being stocked from our
hatcheries at rapid rate and with proper pro-
lection this is bound to be the sporting resort
of the country 1t means much for our State
and for its future prosperity"
