Appropriations for Public Buildings
Outside Of Third District Secured
by Governor Burleiah Since 1897.

Total ........................... $500, 600 90
In other words, the appropriations
secured by Governor Burleigh during
his fourteen years service on the Pub
lie Buildings Committee. for places
outside of his own District, amounts
to nearly one-half the total amount
appropriated for those three Districts
during the preceding n years.
Pittsfeld and Fairfield Buildings.
During the 61st Congress (Which
commenced Dec. s, 1900, he intro
duced bills carrying appropriations
for public buildings in Pittsfield and
Fairfield. Had he been returned to
the House there is little doubt that
he would have been able to secure
substantial appropriations for both
these places.
Lighthouse and Fog Signal.
In the 5sth Congress Mr. Burleigh
secured an appropriation of s14.40o.o0
for a lighthouse and fog signal at
Isle au Haul.
Securing U. s. Arsenal Property.
Another matter in which 1t Is gen.
orally conceded that Mr.. Burleigh
performed a signal service for his
State was the securing of the United
States Arsenal property at Augusta
for the State of Maine. When Mr..
Burleigh received a favorable report
on the project from the War Depart
ment, the committee had adjourned
for the session and it was said that 1t
was an impossibility for any action
to be secured. However, Mr.. Bur
leigh got them together and secured
unanimous report in favor of the
transfer of the property. The then
Superintendent Of the Maine Insane
Hospital has said that the property
is worth $500. 100000 to the State.

lions were accepted. and have been
made law. We have the State board
of assessors and equalization which
was one of the principal reforms urged
by the commission of 1889. We have
the license tax on dogs, we have the
taxation of collateral inheritances, the
tax on savings banks has been in
creased, there is taxation of palace
cars, foreign insurance companies and
trust and loan companies, and of cor
porate franchises, and the limit Of the
railroad taxation has been raised.
Not only did Governor Burleigh in
Augurate this movement for tax re-
fern. but he stood strongly for the Sc
curing Of practical legislation to carry
the principal recommendations of the
commission into effect. the outcome
being the passage of the practical tax
reform laws which resulted in increas-
ing the valuation of the State from
s236, 900. 900 to $340, 100000.
The people of the State will always
remember to Governor Burleigh's credit
that it was upon his suggestion and
under his leadership that this great
work of tax reform In Maine was inau-
gurated and carried through.
Refunding of the Bonded Debt in 1889.
In his inaugural address of 1883, Gov
ernor Burleigh expressed the opinion
that a State of Maine three per cent.
bond would command considerable
premium. The State debt was then
bearing interest at six per cent. Act
ing upon Governor Burleighs sug -es-
ton. the Legislature authorized an Is
sue of bonds to cover the entire State
debt, amounting at that time to s2.sS4,-

Summary as 70 Third District.
In the period Of II years from the or
ganixation Of the State up to 1897, tina
year that Mr.. Burleigh entered Con-
gress, the total national appropriations
which had been secured for public
buildings In the Third Congressional
District was s272,1T7.1s. Since 1897
the appropriations for public buildings
in the Third District have amounted 70
s576, 100000.
In other words, in the fourteen
years Governor Burleish has been In

total that had been secured for the

In addition to these appropriations

Sharp knifes should never be

GOVERNMENT PORTEC-
ton FOR BIRDS

The question Of better protect
ion for the migratory game birds
in the United States has been ,un-
der consideration before Con.
gress recently and the anti
quated objection to the interfer-
ence with the rights CT the states
has been urged against the pro-
position that the Department of
Agriculture be given authority in
the matter of fixing closed sea-
sons for migratory game birds,
such as wild geese, wild swans,
brant, wild ducks, snipe, plover,
woodchuck. quail and wild pig
cons. Mr.. Cooper of Wisconsin,
made the statement on the floor
of the House that he could recall
the time when wild pigeons
."hew by the millions, and the
heavens were darkened by them"
He said that he had read recent
lv of a reward of a thousand dol,
lars being offered to anyone who
would furnish a male wild pig
con. He added that there is fe-
male wild pigeon in captivity in
the Geological Garden in Cincin-
natl, and that an attempt was
being made to secure a mate.
These birds have been practically
exterminated. They, like buffalo,
have practically surrendered
their existence to ogreedy hunters.
In the debate it was pointed out
that the antelope is also rapidly
becoming extinct, and that deer
exist only in certain portions OF
thecountry. A western Congress
man took rather amusing view
of the game proposition, declar-
ing that under federal supervis-
ion, game if migratory, ceases
to be game when it crosses a
state line wherein it is now pro-
tected by state laws, and by rea-
son of it's own movement, be-
comes interstate commerce. He
further attempted to obscure
the issue by stating that federal

sary to prove whether or not

ent states, and declared that he
could not see how this could be
brought about unless by afida-
Wits from the creatures them
selves. The Government and game
wardens of the country have
been consulted and most of them
have approved the proposition
for federal supervision. In the
debate it was clear that the dis
puted power of the Government
in this matter does not rest up
on any valid foundation.

Stock Market

Kansas City Stock Yards, July 8, 1912.
Prime cattle continue firm, selling at
$500 to 1886 here during the last week,
though the best here to-day stopped at
$9.40. Good to choice cattle are shade
lower than week ago, though selling
strong to 10 higher to-day. Middle and
low grades are steady to strong to-day
but 20 to so cents under week ago.
High class trade at the best hotels aud
restaurants, and at seaside resorts is
calling for the usual amount Of the best
beef available, which is keeping the
market on the best cattle in good shape
but the rank and file of meat consumers
are tapering down their requirements,
hence vigorous pounding of the kind
of cattle that furnish meat for the ordi-
nary butcher shops. The run here to-
day is 1000 head, very light for this
late in July It shows that owners are
independent, with plenty of grass and
water. They are apt to resent any harm
done to the market, such as was done
last week, through the balance of the
month. Slim receipts are sure to elevate
prices on even the lower grades. A
local order buyer just back from
scouting expedition through the East
says they are beef hungry there, and
such runs as appeared today are not
large enough to fill the demand. green
wood County cattle were prominent in
the receipts to-day, tops selling at $8.40,
1920 pounds. Heavier steers with less
quality brought less money. Steers
brought up this spring sold at $6.75,
100 pounds, admitted by the salesman
to be higher than cats back. Wintered
quarantines brought 5000, medium to
common grassers $425 to 1925. Hogs
had bad week, but turned upward to-
day, cents higher, top $7.55, bulk
$3.50 to $3.50, run entirely inadequate,
at 5000 head. Sheep and lambs have
recuperated 25 to 35 cents since a week
ago, any are 10 higher to-day. Top
spring lambs $500, yearlings $5..75,
wethers $475, ewes $4.30.
