HUNTING NOTES

Miss. Lucy H. Wheeler. Bangor's ia
nous woman Nimrod again made a
ten strike in the big woods this year,
securing a moose. deer and several
partridges near Hound lake, about 20
miles from Calais. eand a few miles
from LANDER lake. The moose was
shot last Wednesday. Miss Wheeler
according to her custom when after
moose had started out about O'Clock
in the morning, and 7frst sighted the
moose at 645 o'clock. He was with a
herd of seven COW moose, and in or
der not to break the game laws Of
the State by shooting a COW moose
she had to take careful aim in order
to get only the big fellow. The State
makes no allowances for accidental
shooting in cases Of this kind. The
first shot took effect and she quickly
followed it with second. Then the
moose was done for. and the task of
gett;ne him back to camp was no
easy one, for he weighed over 500
pounds. Miss Wheeler had previous
ly succeeded in obtaining deer and
some fine partridges. She arrived in
Bangor Monday night with her SPLEEN

we'll known as a young woman MINI
rod. having succeeded in getting one
of the largest moose ever shot in this
State two years ago. She is crack
shot, as her achievements with the
rife demonstrate.
The train crew of No. As, the through
freight from Northern Maine Junction,
early Wednesday morning had the
unique experience Of killing large
buck deer without firing shot.
Whit waiting at siding at A. M,
the crew members saw deer running
along by the track, finally becoming
entangled in the wire fence. They i'm,

and after fierce struggle he was
dispatched by blow on the head with

State Highway Engineer aul D. Sar-
gent in company with Street Com
missioner Pressey of Bangor and 9TH
ers made an inspection Monday of the
new stretch of road built by Presi-
dent John r. Graham Of the Bangor
Railway & Electric CO. at Six Miles
Falls and We're greatly pleased with
the results achieved. The stretch of
one and half miles was built in three
sections of different materials, one be-
ing of plain gravel one of rolled grav-
ell and one with bluterine binding, the
latter being considered one of the best
methods for durability and general
effectiveness The binding makes sucn
a hard surface that the calks of horses
shoes make little impression, and 1t
is supposed to shed water like the
back of duck. Mr.. Sargent spoke In
most complimentary manner of what
had been accomplished. The gluterine
binding used on Mr.. Graham's road is
new idea here, although 1t has been
extensively used in New Hampshire
for some time. 1t is a by-product of
sulphite and the experiment on the
Six Miles Falls road will be watched
with great interest by road builders.

The Ground Hog Gets Even.

The traction companies, steam railroad
companies, telephone companies and
their patrons entertain the hope that the
ground hog will rest content with his vim
dication. He has proved that he and
not the weather bureau runs the weather,
and if he were as great an artist in
the production of fair weather as he
has shown himself to be in the produc-
ton of foul weather there would be
movement to unperch the American
eagle as the national bird and to elevate
the ground hog to the state Of national
beast. However, the ground hog, like
many fnen, seems to be more industrious
in producing what Is not wanted than
in producing what is wanted.
Early in February there was Il DISPOSE
ton in skepticai circles to deride the
ground hog. Skeptics are always making
mistakes. There were those who said
that the ground hog did not know an
isotherm from an isobar, that he had no
expert knowledge of highs and lows, that
he did not know a barometer from a
speedometer and that he could not read
a weather map any better than most men.
A good many remarks were made in SCI
entific circles that the ground hog as a
meteorological lacked technical training. 1t
Is thought probable that some Of these re-
marks came to the hearing of the ground
hog. and street cars and railroad trains
will be running In a few days as usual.

Ramshackle Hospital Building.

The subcommittee of the Senate appro-
priations committee in charge of the Dis
trict appropriation bill visited the Wash
ington Asy I'm Hospital yesterday. and in
the news columns of The Star the men,
bers of the committee expressed the opin-
ion that the decaying and decrepit hos
pital building was out Of place in the
capital of great, civilized and prosper
Gus nation. 1t was disgraceful that such
a building should be in commission for
hospital uses. That point has been made
many times before by persons cognizant
OF the facts. The hospital bui ding has
been condemned-not lega .ly, but morally
by everybody interested in improving the
conditions under which a large number
of very poor persons receive public medi-
cal care and treatment. There Is comfort
In the thought that the visiting senators
will use their great power to amc.iorate
or completely change the conditions
which they condemn.

If This Were Inauguration Day!

If this were Inauguration day the eastern
region of the United States would be just
recovering from the effects of one of
those storms which often come at this
season. Today the railroads after re-
covering hundreds of passenger trains
lost along the lines and blocked by snow
and wreckage on the tracks are with diff
ficulty resuming their schedules. Freight
traffic is not yet Strengthened out Tele-
graph and telephone companies have re-
planted enough poles and restrung enough
wires to open up communication. Street
ear lines in many cities are resuming
their normal way after days of trouble
or suspension. Streets and roads are be-
ing cleared of snow and debris. II this
had been an inauguration year the con-
gestion of traffic and travel would have
been greater, the tie-up would have been
tighter and the time required for un-
tangling things and restoring conditions
to the normal would have been longer.
In the capital reviewing stands would
probably have been smashed or damaged.
cry likely the roofs of these strong but
temporary structures would have been
ripped on. Bunting and other decorations
would have been torn from their fasten-
iugs and destroyed. With rail and water
communication interrupted food for the
inauguration crowd might be scarce and
high In price. giving cause for loud COM
plant from pilgrims. If this were IN
auguration day the streets would be filled
with chilled and shiverng people dallyins
with the grip and pneumonia But the
list Of March fourths worse than this is a
long one and as Inauguration days go to-
day would be accounted comparatively
fair.

His nose became almost as blue

therefore, ought to be near and dear to
Mr.. Roosevelt.
1t seems to be a fact, however, that
Mr.. Pinchot is nearer and dearer. He
must have been Mr.. Roosevelt's choice, or
he would not have been preferred to Mr..
Finn by the bull moose party. He can
not have the pull in Pennsylvania that
Mr. Finn has outside the fact of Mr..
activities have been elsewhere, while Mr..
Finn has confined his to his home state.
He has been SO active, indeed, for such a
long time, he has come to be known as
a boss.
But maybe Mr.. Finn Is merely post
poning his senatorial aspirations. He may
try for Mr.. divers seat when that is
Put into the scale. He may be reasoning
that If Mr.. Pfnchot as Mr.. Roosevelts
personal choice wins this year, the way
will be paved for another bull moose sue
cess. and he, Finn, will become Mr..
Pinchot's senatorial colleague
1t is a reasonable assumption that Mr..
Roosevelt will do all in his power for
Mr.. Pinchot. No man enjoys his conf
dence and favor more thoroughly. 1t was
Mr.. Pinchot who submitted to Mr.. Roose-
welt under a clump of trees in Italy the
first proposition that the latter change
his attitude toward the presidency and
stand for another term. And when Mr..
Roosevelt was brought around to that.
what ease or difficulty is not
generally known-no man worked harder
for his success than Mr.. P1nchot
The Pinchot candidacy, therefore, will
be a test of Mr.. Roosevelt's strength in
the keystone state. 1t can have no
strength of its own, because Mr.. Pinchot
is unknown in Pennsylvania politics ex-
cept as Mr.. Roosevelts friend and ad-
wiser. But for the bull moose movement,
he would never probably have been
active in public affairs outside OF for
estry, in which he has specialized.

Sanitary Housing for the Poor.

The bill introduced in the Senate yes
terday by Mr.. Pomerene, having for Its
aim the construction of sanitary dwell
ings at a low rental for unskilied
wage earners in the District of Column
bia, Is a measure which will command
serious consideration as very i'm
portant legislative proposal touching
the people of the District
As the means of accomplishing the
results sought, the terms of the bill
direct the Commissioners of the Dis
trict to issue bonds to an amount not
more than $1,000, 900 shall be issued in
one fiscal year, to meet the cost OF the
erection of these dwellings.
The bill represents an effort to meet
the contingency which will arise when
tenants Of houses now deemed insani-
tary shall be forced to vacate such
premises. Sanitary housing is compile
mentary Of alley elimination. The solu-
.tion Of the so-called alley problem re-
quires that other dwelling places be
provided at low rentals for those per-
sons dispossessed by the advance of
the alley cleanup movement. People
crowd into the alleys Of Washington
as they do in undesirable parts Of other
cities because rents are lower. The liv-
ing standard of alley jewellers is prob
ably as high as such jewellers can af-
ford to pay for. If the alley jewellers
are to be turned out of their present
quarters. and the indications are that
they will be, it is clear that habitations
in line with modern ideals OF sanitation
must be got ready for these people.
The construction of alley houses was a
mistake. The Star opposed this form
of housing when the construction of
living quarters for men and women
in courts and alleys was begun on an
extensive scale good many years ago.
But there was a demand for quarters
of this character, the rentals were at
tractively low to the class of tenants
appealed to. and the returns to in
vestors in this class of property were
large Public opinion had not developed
OH this question. and the hardship on
alley jewellers and the physical and
moral perils of slums were not then
appreciated as now. Alley evils have
grown. and against them has also
grown strong and proper sentiment
a sentiment now SO strong and popular
that the elimination of alley habita-
lions impends.
