Why Carbon Left
Have They Returned?
". I. Ashby's Opinion.

The Machias Republican has the
following very interesting interview
with an expert backwoodsman on the
caribou question:
w. T. Ashby of Parkhurst, Aroos-
took county, famed as backwoods
philosopher, expert woodsman and
hunter, and also as the only man who
had a bareback ride on wild caribou,
admits the truth of recent reports that
the caribou, long vanished from Maine,
may have returned in scattering herds
to various localities, in the northern
part of the State, but declares that so
long as deer are numerous the caribou
never will return in any considerable
numbers, and that these graceful ami
mails are not likely again to be includ-
ed in the wild game Of Maine, says
Ashby:-
IL don't doubt that Bert Spencer
saw drove of caribou in the north
western part of the State. Small herds
are frequently seen along the north
eastern border of Maine, both in win
ter and summer. In that tract of
country, in New Brunswick and Que
bee, known as tine Highlands. great

over there the caribou are album
dant and often cross the line and visit
the old feeding grounds of their ances-
tors in Aroostook, for in this country
the great American reindeer once
roamed in great numbers, fat and
happy.
why did they leave their old feed
ing grounds and retire to the Canadian
hills? When some of them return,
| why don't they stay? If I should tell
| the reason some city hunter who has
spent his life behind brick walls and
| who has possibly been to the Maine
woods once or twice on hunting trip
and learned all there is to know. would
make fun of me as they did Guide
| Turner when he wrote of the deer
| starving to death.
Let me say that / was born in the
| woods of North Aroostook and was
| fed on caribou meat in my youthful
days. I have shot them and tanned
| their hides or made snowshoes out of
| them. and once l had wild ride on
| the back of a live caribou. Twenty
years ago these woods were swarming
with them, but they vanished in a
night, as you might say, and were
| seen no more.
Some of those wise city hunters
have told us that the caribou were
! hunted down and eXterminated like
| the buffalo on the Western plains, and
| this story took we'll with the Maine
| Legislature--so we'll that, after the
caribou had migrated. laws were pass
ed for their protection.
when the caribou roamed the hills
and valleys of the great north woods
there were no deer here worth men
| tioning. When the deer came north in
great numbers the caribou fed before
them, and you may believe it or not,
caribou will not stay where deer are
abundant, and if the deer never leave
Northern Maine caribou will never
again be counted among the big game

Wonderful Growth of a Very
Useful Order

The Grange. founded December attn,
1867. has had perhaps the most re-
markabe growth OF any fraternal or
ganization and now numbers about
seven hundred and fifty thousand in
the United States 1t is interesting
to note that the largest subordinate
Grange in the world is at Houlton,
Maine. with about eleven hundred
members, and that Skowhegan Grange
with five hundred and twenty-five
members is the second largest III the
State of Maine
The order was founded by farmers
and designed to serve primarily the
interests of the agricultural class.
There has been tendency, however,
where the subordinate Oranges were
located in towns or cities of consid-
cradle size, for non agriculturalists to
become members and assume guild
ance. Generally speaking this is not
the best interests of the order. The
ideal condition would be a member
ship nearly or quite composed OF
actual tillers of the soil and at any
rate. with the Offices filled altogether
by farmers and members of farmers
families. 1t is, moreover, highly
desirable that those taking part in
the programs should be drawn as
largely as possible from the farming
class Skowhegan Grange has had a
remarkable increase in membership
during the past year, attributable
largely to the energetic efforts OF the
master c. H. Gardner. Loyalty support
ed by the rank and file of the order
1870 who have joined during 1914, Il
per cent are from those actually en-
gagged in the pursuit of agriculture.
1t might be noted with advantage
that wheh farmer or member of his
family takes part in the program they
invariably do a creditable job. Al
a recent meeting prominent farmer
and member of Skowhegan Grange
gave THE Farmers Lament. He was
eostumed for the part, and it may be
said without fear of contradiction,
that as to costume and skillful hand
ling, he was superior to any profess
sional ever seen here. 1t is well
recognized fact that most rural char
acters on the stage and in the illus
trated publications of the time, are
conspicuous for their failure to look
or act like anything that was ever
seen on land or sea. 1t is refresh
ing to note one case where the port
rayal resembles the farmer as he act
ually exists.

resume friendly relations with the
Ottoman Government There is every
reason to believe that in spite of this
apology, which it is understood comes
directly from the peace party in the
Turkish cabinet and may not be ad-
hered to by Enver Pasha, the minister
of war and his young Turk followers.
France. and Great Britain not only
will demand reparation for the war
like operations of the Turkish fleet in
the Black sea but will insist that Tur-
keys entire fleet, or at any rate the
cruisers Goeben, Breslau and Hami-
dieh be put out of commission until
after the war, Turkeys security be-
ing guaranteed in the meantime. This
would give Russia such supremacy in
the Black set, that there would be no
danger of Turkish raids.
Yesterday important features of the
dispatches were that German Cruisers
had attacked the British fleet off the
Coast of Chile, one of the British
cruisers being sunk 1t also seems
that the Germans have abandoned their
attempt to hack their way along the
Belgian coast to Calais. A combina-
ton of inundated country, the Belgian
Army under King Albert and the acti-
witty OF the British warships apparent
ly all contributed toward ending the
costly struggle.
