FIGHT FIRES AT NIGHT.
Most Effective Work Can Be Done in
That Way.


STATE Forest Commissioner Mace states
that the wardens and fire lighters in the
Moosehead region and elsewhere in the
Maine Forestry district. where big fires
have been in progress. have been greatly
handicapped in fighting the fires on account
of the intense heat. Orders were issued
last Thursday to the wardens to instruct
the men under them to simply keep the
fires from spreading during the day, but
in the night time when it was cooler and
the fires had died down so that the men
could get close into them, to put in their
hardest work in attempting TO extlnguish
them
As a result of these orders the work of
fire fighting has been going on night and
day and considerable Roadway has been
made in thus coping with the fires at night
1T is surprising how a fire that doesn't
appear to be much of fire at sunrise will
after the dew Is off the ground in the
morning. develop into one of big proper
tons, said Commissioner Mace Saturday
in discussing the fire situation. Whatever
can be done in stamping out the fires at
night is a big gain"

them that while pear raising on

reason why this branch of fruit raising
could not be successfully carried on.

CHAIRMAN WILSON DOUBTS.
Does Not Believe Deer Law is So
Widely Violated.

Hon. John s. P. II. Wilson, chairman
of the Inland Fisheries and Game Commits
sion, does not believe that there exists any
such wholesale violation of the deer laws
as is claimed by the Bangor papers, which
state that lacking deer is favorite pas
time with the woods men of Maine, although
it is close season now, and that many are
killed in that way.
II cannot believe that any such whole
sale destruction of deer is going on in the
Northern woods in violation of law, said
Mr.. Wilson when his attention was called
by newspaper reporter TO some of the
clippings. "A deer may be killed Illegally
now and then but we have received no re-
ports from our wardens of any general vi
olation of the law and | feel sure that they

STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Next Meeting OF Governor and Council
Wednesday, Aug. t6 at 10 A. M.

Maine may yet become a great pear
raising State. Notwithstanding that
hitherto but little has been done in the
way OF commercial pear raising. prac-
ucally all of the market pears being
shipped here from abroad State Hor-
tieulturist Albert K Gardner of Rock
land has Just received a letter from
oregon, which has been forwarded to
him from the Maine Agricultural Elk
pertinent station, inquirng as to the
pesenf situation of the pear industry
in this state.
Inc letter is written by ]. O. Gold
thWalte. VINO, with q company of ex-
perienced fruit growers of Hood River
Valley. Oregon are planning for an
eastern trip in August with the object
of ascertaining if the Eastern condi-
lions of commercial orcbardins offer
any material Inducements over those
Of ths West. Mr. Goldthwaite states
that while his experience is largely
limited to apple culture and that will
be the main subject of the investiea-
tons of his party. he wishes ia give
the subject of pear growing careful
Investigation also. and it is upon the
latter matter that he writes Mr. card
ner in detail.
The letter requests of the State hor-
tieuturist a short brief upon the pres-
ent status of the pear industry in
Maine. the area and extent thereof
the varieties and above all the sub
ject of the weather conditions as they
relate to the regularity of production.
MI GoldthWaite also asks for an opin-
ion as to the ACCESSIBILITY of engaging
in pear orcharding in Maine on a COM
mercial scale, limiting it to the high
grade commercial pears. such as Bart
lett. Comice. d'Anjou. Bose Winter
Nells and pears of that class He also
asks for information in regard to the
p Barry pear, which he says several
of his friends in the East have sug-
sested to him, stating that it is about
the latest keeper and about the only
pear suitable for shipment into trop
ical countries.
The letter also asks for information
as to the present state of pear blight in
Maine and whether ii is serious enough
to deter one from engaging in pear
culture on a large scale.

the gambling hell, two things from
which Maine is comparatively
free, from policy, because, SO long
as the amendment remains, no
statutory permission fer the rum
business can be obtained, and the
only possible object in repeating
the amendment is to secure license

Singer Editor. Damariscotta Her
aid. Damariscotta, June 2, 1911.
After careful observation of the
liquor business in most of the
large cities of the Union. am
more strongly than ever of the
opinion that the principle of state
wide prohibition of the saloon
should be retained in the State of
Maine. | believe that more liquor
is sold illegally in Massachusetts
than in Maine For instance. af-
ter closing hours on Washington
street in Boston. | have proven to
my own satisfaction the union
of the licensed saloon and the
kitchen bar-room. The evils of
the liquor business are we'll prov
en- as the necessity of insurance.
Great business concerns admit
this. Notwithstanding the SLAM
derous attacks of liquor dealers
from outside the State, told over
so many times that many of our
people believe them. the State of
Maine today is clean and whole
some place for children to grow
up in, and my last and best rea-
son for voting for prohibition is
that | have little fellow at
home.-Geerge c. Weber, Law
yer, Auburn, May 20, 1911.
How can the fight against the
saloon be strengthened by weak
ening the law? The one great
argument of the advocate of IL
cense namely. that prohibition
cannot be enforced" has been
proven in Kennebec county, dur
ing the last six months, to be alb
solutely false and the comparative
results under license and enforced
prohibition well demonstrated.
FROM Jan. l, 1911. to Nav %.
l9ll. kennebec county [ had an
open policy" virtually license.
IN results at least the disgust
ing results in drunkenness led to
such universal demand for en-
forcement that the lid" was
nailed down tight on May 29th.
Inc vast Improvement in condi-
TONS has been so apparent that it
mas furnished one of the strong
est arguments for prohibition that
i nave ever seen. It has proven
that prohibition can be enforced

MR.. HARDY'S VERSE.
Some Further Evidences of a Curious
Ambition.

The world owes a heavy debt to
any of his contemporaries he has affirm
ed in our own time the great tradition
of English fiction. If any of the novels
of the last half-century may be regard
ed as certain of Immortality they are
such novels as Tess" or 1.-THE Return
of the Native" Just because these mas
terpieces have given us all so much
pleasure and have done SO much to slim
ulate profitable thought, one is naturally
inclined to grant the author almost any,
thing. And yet it is little difficult to
sympathize with Mr. Hardy's poetical
ambition Being a man of imagination
a man of genius he has poetical ideas
and sometimes can bring to the framing
of line or a phrase a fairly poetical
touch THE Dynasts," which is not the
work of poetry that it assumes to be.
nevertheless could only have been con-
ceived by a man having poetic streak
in him. On the other hand a poetic
streak is not quite strong enough to
make man poet.
There is something pathetic. and
besides, something exasperating about
the manner in which Mr.. Hardy persists
in doing the thing he was not born to
do. In the current number of the fort
nightly Review he has a set of "Satires
of Circumstance We quote from the
twelve scenes the following:

STATEWIDE PROHIBITION.
Continued from Page SKI

LAWYER. South Paris, June "a,
1911.
am heartily in favor of pro-
hibition, for | believe 1t does d
great deal of good. | am opposed
to rum, because it costs more than
ANYTHING else; causes more crime,
sickness. poverty and injury than
anything else. If | had become
addicted to the use of rum, 1t
would have rendered my life as
useless as if | had been shot or
seriously crippled in the civil
War. There are more or less
men in every town who drink up
large part. or all of the money
they earn and consequently their
wives and children suffer for the
necessities of life. The above are
few of the many reasons that
might give. | am in favor of
city liquor agency in every town
where it is needed. Some say that
they are the worst kind of rum
shops, but If we can't control one
agency and it is such a bad thing

of times worse than the city

State wide prohibition should be
retained. First: because the sa-
loon is a moral, political and social
evil, responsible for vice and
crime. ruined homes and dis
mantled industries. The saloon is
a prominent source of high taxa
ton and of political corruption.
| favor state wide prohibition in

we can secure it, because | hold
that adjacent communities. towns

state wide prohibition enforced is
particularly Objectionable to the
distilery. the brewery. and the
saloon interests. Their opposition
is ample endorsement of state
prohibition. Prominent men of
both parties predict the re-af-
firmation of state wide prohibit
ton. Indirectly. the wide open
revolt against prohibition in Maine
promotes larger majority for re-
tention of the prohibitory amend

prohibition of the saloon should
be retained. both from principle
ana from policy. From principle.
because rum selling is crime
and no laws can make it anything
