STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Regular Meeting of Governor and Coun.
cit Thursday, Dec. 19, at 10 A. M.

Maine has adopted recently &
unique method of equalizing school
opportunity in authorizing the setting
apart OF small fund which, by the
terms of the law, is To be distributed
to those towns which assess them
selves for school purposes in excess
of the average rate for the State and
are still unable to maintain their
schools at a reasonable degree of eff
ficieney. The total of the fund dis
tributed for this purpose this year
was s25.519.2S. The total number of
towns receiving the benefit of the
fund this year was 272. The major-
ity of these are the smaller towns OF
the State and, while the apportion-
ment in each instance was small, vet
because of the limited number of
schools, it has made possible the
lengthening of the school year by Il
week or more or the increase of
teachers salaries in seine cases to the
extent of 81 a week. The distribu

PENosscoT RIVER SALMON
Have Shown Decided increase Says
Commissioner James Donahue.

Hon. James Donahue of Rockland.
commissioner OF sea and shore fish
cries, who has bad lots of experience
in both fishing and hunting. in talk
ing with a party of friends recently
as to which was the best sport, hunt
ing or fishing. made a statement In
which he said he had hunted big
game in Maine and admitted that. it
was certainly great sport to go into
good comfortable camp in the big
woods with a party of good fellows
and hunt the big game. yet there was
rot the real sport in it that there was
catching a big halibut on a hand line
hooking a sea salmon with a small
fly book and fighting him for hall
an hour before landing him. Said
lie:
Hunting partridges and woodcocl<
with good pointing and retrieving
dogs, shooting quail over pointing
dogs in the South. shooting coots. sea
ducks and brakes. or sheldrake over
decoys. flushing black ducks on the
marshes and getting them before they
get away. are all good and valuable
sports. So is catching cod and had
dock or pollock on handhne when
they are biting sharp. or hooking 4
halibut weighing from 80 to LOG
pounds on handline. When you
have hauled him up and within a few
feet of your boat have him turn and
start for the bottom again, there is
but one thing to do, that is. pay out
line and let him go. If you try to
stop him he will break your line and
You will lose the fish. But when he

him up again he may decide To go
lack; and if he does, back he will go .
bat if you finally get him up near
enough to the boat, hook a gaff into
his head and give him a crack on the
nose With good stick You will
then be able To land him in the boat,
and YOU will be read to sit down and
take a rest. Catching mackerel in
the past on a jig when they were bit
ing well was pleasant and profitable
work. Catching perch. black bass,
trout, lakerg> and tails. also
landlocked salmon with good rod and
reel on the ponds and lakes is very
interesting.
But if YOU want real sport and
something of value, go and hook a
sea salmon at the Bangor or Calais
pool with a small fly hook on single
gut leader about the size of a fiddle
string attached to small silk line
with a 15-foot split bamboo rod; and
| il after fighting him for half AN hour
or more in swift water YOU finally
| land him. you will realize you have
had some real sport and will admir-
| that the sea salmon is really in a
class by himself.
Il have caught and shot all of the
kinds herein mentioned, and know
whereof | speak
"Penobscot river salmon have
shown = decided increase in the past
| few years. the catch at the Bangor
pool this year being the largest on
record; and there is no reason why /,
will not continue to increase year BY

ton and the present system of propi

State Pension Department.

State Pension Clerk Kingsbury B
Piper, Tuesday informed a Journal
reporter that the towns and cities
were responding much moro readily
with their vouchers than formerly
and as result nearly every town in
the State has made returns for the
first three quarters in connection with
the State pensions due the residents
of those towns
This situation has been brought
about by letters sent out by Mr.. Piper
shortly after assuming the duties of
the office urging the towns to be
prompt in their returns. Mr.. Piper
believes that when the present year
closes practically only the pension
claims of the 4th quarter will be out
standing
