ENCOURAGING REPORTS THAT FOOT
AND MOUTH DISEASE is CONTROLLED

Washington, Nov. 2S.-The lifting of
the quarantine against Canada be-
cause of the foot and mouth disease
is regarded by officials of the depart
ment of agriculture as encouraging
evidence that they are outside of the
disease
This means" says statement to-
day by the department, that there
are grounds for the belief that quar-
antines already declared have been
sufficient to stop the movement of in
fected cattle and that the disease can
now be held within the limits of the
areas already quarantined.
AT the present time the states most
seriously affected are Ohio, Illinois,
Indiana and Pennsylvania.
Outside Of this belt the states of
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and
Massachusetts, are perhaps the subject
of the greatest concern. Although the
actual number of cattle already in

100000 HUMP
BACK SALMON
EGGS ARRIVE

United States Bureau of Fisheries
Car No. was at the Union station,
Bangor, Friday with a cargo of 100000
humpbacked salmon eggs which have
almost completed a long trip from
Alaska to state of Maine waters. OF
this number 100000 will be placed in
the United States hatchery at East
Orland.
The car was in charge of ]. P. Foley
of Massachusetts, who occupies the
position with the Bureau of Fisheries
which is officially designated as car
captain The bureau has many fish
cars of this kind travelling over the
country all the time and like ships
each is in charge of a captain. Mr..
Foley has for assistants several young
men from West Virginia and other
southern states.
The salmon were propagated in
Afognak, Alaska, and this car has
brought them from Seattle, Washn,
which is a respectable distance of
some $500 miles. The eggs, according
to Mr. Foley are extremely hardy, as
may be judged from the fact that they
thrive in the cold waters of Alaska.
On the journey across the continent
the car was kept at temperature of
about 40 degrees all the way. Even
in the egg state the humpback salmon
can withstand hard usage. Dropping
on the floor does not damage them at
ALL They are about as large as a
small marble and the most prominent
thing about them is the eye, which is,
strangely enough, the first part to de-
velop to any size.
Along about February these eggs
will develop into fishes about one inch
long and they will then be ready for
planting in the rivers of Maine near
the coast. They will be taken to
Rockland, Damariscotta, Waldoboro,
Union river and other places along the
Maine coast where they can have
access to fresh water at times, and
liberated.
1t may be asked, how can the de-
partment tell if this experiment Of
planting Alaska salmon will be sue
cessful and the answer is that the de-
partment cannot know for a certainty
within five years and for that reason
fish are to be placed here every year
for five years. This is the second year
that salmon eggs have been brought
to Maine.
Last year the experiment met with
rxmarkable success, at least in the
early stages. Practically 95 per cent
of the eggs sent from the Pacific coast
were successfully Matched in the
Maine hatcheries and withstood hand
ling and transportation wonderfully.
This is not so surprising, however,
when it is considered that the pre-
dominant feature of these fish Is en-
durance.
They are a sea fish, but every two
years they go up the rivers to spawn,
and this leads the salmon fisherpen of
Bangor to entertain the hope that
within a few years they may have the
sport of angling for a new salmon
variety not as large as the Penobscot
salmon, nor as handsome, but gamey
and very eatable, nevertheless.

New York, Nov. 23.-That the Stock
Exchange is quite certain to open for

sponsible banking and brokerage au-
thorities 1t was declared that a ma
jority of the banks with Will Street

A canvass of the more important To-
cal banking interests ELECTED conflict
ing opinions respecting the probable
extent of foreign offerings of Amer
lean bonds in the event of an early
renewal of dealings. Some houses of
prominence asserted that buying or

to sell, but the prospective demand, it
was added, was limited almost entire
ly to high grade issues.
Houses with German connection
freely amitted the possibility of heavy
selling orders.

HEBRON FOOT
BALL ELEVEN
A STRONG TEAM

Hebron. Me. Nov. 23.-The Hebron
Academy football team for 1914 had
on the whole a successful season, and
/ at its close is generally admitted to
State, though it's defeat by Portland
High early in the season technically
robs it of clear claim to the title.
Even Portland partisans, however,
generally admit that at the present
time Hebron would probably defeat
the High school team.
Hebron played six games. winning
five and scoring a total of 240 points
to 13 for their opponents. Their only
loss was in the second game of the
season to Portland. Their games were
as follows:
Oct, 3-Hebron q. Bowdoin I'd o.
Oct. 10-Hebron I, Portland High 10.

The men who won their letters this
fall have chosen Ralph Jordan. 16,
of Bangor captain of the team or
1915. Jordan has been a mainstay OF
the team, last year playing tackle and
this year halfbaek.
Capt. Nadeau of this years team was
injured early in the season and was
out of the game for large part of the
season, and upon Jordan fell most OF
the burden of the teams offense. He
is conceded TO be the best halfback in
the Maine preparatory schools this
year.
In addition to being captain of the
football team Jordan is captain of the
track team. He won the 100 and 220-
yard dashes at the Maine interscholas-
tic meet last year and broke the 220-
yard record at the Bowdoin inter-
scholastic meet, as well as getting sec
ond in the 100-yard dash last June.

AN AMENDMENT
TO THE POTATO
QUARANTINE LAW

Washington, Nov. 23.-Hereafter, it
is announced, if any foreign potatoes,
which have been brought into the
United States without fulfilling all re-
quirements of the law, are found in
cluded in lots of domestic potatoes,
no certificates of inspection for pow
derry Sab will be issued by the Fed
eral authorities. The secretary OF
agriculture has issued an amendment
to the rules and regulations of the
potato quarantine to this effect. The
amendment reads:
.'e. No potatoes brought into the
United States in violation of any for
eign potato quarantine or in viola
ton of any of the regulations govern
ing the importation of potatoes into
the United States, and no domestic
potatoes mingled herewith, will be
inspected"
The amendment has been made me-
cessary by the fact that small quaint
ties of potatoes have been brought
across the Canadian border in VIOLA

nor can the question arise whether
goods are conditional contraband or
not, when the vessel is sailing for

Further it charges Great Britain
with having made the rule of con-
tinuous voyage. applicable only in the
case of absolute contraband, appli-
cable also with regard to conditional
contraband. This it declares condi-
tional contraband is virtually on the
same footing as absolute contraband.'
Great Britain, it is charged, has de-
clared rubber, hides and skins as well
as various kinds of iron ore to be con-
ditional contraband although these
articles are not at all, or only in n
direct way suitable for purposes of
warfare and were, therefore, the uni
versal accepted principle of interna-
tional law that neutral trade with
objects of exclusively peaceful use,
must not be disturbed by the bellig-
erents, is wantonly set aside
Another charge is that British nav
al forces have seized on merchant
vessels, sailing under the Dutch, Nor
wegian or Italian flags, German sub
jects liable to do military service

ed principles of international law as

WAR STAMPS ARRIVE
Use on Documents viii Begin Dec. T.
Designs and Denominations.

War stamps have been received by
the internal revenue department col
lectors. The use of the stamps upon
documents will begin December /. il
is necessary for the occupation tax
payers to make their returns during
the present month, as the tax of this
class went into effect November /. A
penalty of fifty per cent is levied for
unpaid taxes. An order slip has been
adopted for the supply of documen-
tary stamps.
The design is severely plain. some
thing ike the present postage due
stamps The stamps are of the same
design as the postage stamps except
that they are oblong in shape. The
denomination is shown in large color
less numerals in the center with the
words III S. Internal Revenue" and
Proprietary" above and Gents and
Series of 1914" below.
The documentary stamps come in
more varied designs and colors. The
denominations of 1-2, l, 2, 3, 4, 5. 10,
25, 40, so and 80 cents are printed in
red. They are of the same size and
shape as postage stamps with the val
ues expressed in large colorless num-
erals in the center with the words III.

tary" above and Gents" and Series

The documentary stamps of 81. in
green; So in red; So, in purple; IS, in
blue; $40. in orange; $50. in vermil-

Liberty Head as the central design.
The 500 in green, has the Stuart por-
trait of Washington. the $500 in blue
has the portrait of Hamilton, and the
$1,000 in orange has the portrait of

than the cents values.
These stamps will be in use only 10
