How the Moose Dies
My dear Mr.. Editor:
Many letters l receive concerning
the habits Of the big game of the
North woods. Among other inquiries
I am frequently asked if there is any
thing unnatural when old age comes
apace in connection with their death
and I take this means through your
valued paper to answer many requests
on that particular point by the follow
ing extract from one Of my articles:
I'm unfrequented recesses in the
jungle Of the Pine Tree State lie the
Wondering bones of the monarch of
the Maine woods-the moose. AS old
age comes apace, instinct tells him Of
approaching dissolution and from fear
Of attack he seeks some secluded spot.
Struggling on he finally falls to the
ground to rise no more. Not like man,
during those last sad moments, sur
rounded by every comfort, he, prone
on the ground helpless and alone with
that constant fear of approach, midst
the forest and streams he loved so
well, with the signing wind as a requi-
EN-. patiently waits for the inevitable
end
Respectfully yours.
G. SMITH STANTON.
A Rhode Island car came over the
river from Woolwich Wednesday on
the Hockomock, in which were a lady
and gentleman in coon coats returning
home from a deer hunt in Oxbow
woods with a carcass of doe and head
of a big deer that they had shot. The
bucks head was beauty, carrying Is
points on it's antlers. The hunter
said his first shot failed to kill the
buck which got away and he and his
guide trailed him from one afternoon
to the following afternoon at five
o'clock when they came on him, weak
from the loss of blood and a second
shot killed the animal. They ate most
of the meat and the Rhode Islander
was to have the head set up. He said
that he would not sell the head for
$50. He reported deer plenty at OK
bow but that the dry leaves on the
ground made it difficult to get within
gunshot. A little snow, he said, would
improve the hunting and make it easy
to obtain venison.
Bears are reported very thick in Otis
and vicinity. Frank Frost and Willis
Salisbury of Mariaville both lost their
flock recently, Mr.. Frost losing seven
teen and Mr.. Salisbury eight. Mr.
Frost was lucky enough to catch one
bruin in the act while he saw three
more who got away.

CONGRESSMAN Goodali.

That good roads are one of the best
assets that Maine can have. was the
statment made by Hon. Louis b.
Goodall of Sanford, the congressman
elect from the First Maine district. and
treasurer of the famous Goodall mills.
Mr.. Goodall said:
II am heartily in favor of continu-
ing the building of good roads In
Maine as / consider them one of the
best assets this State can have. Maine
being a great vacation State, with
GOOD roads will attract an immense
automobile travel here and these par
ties also leave a lot of money in the
State. If there are not good roads,
these automobile parties will seek 9TH
er states where they do nave good
roads and the State of Maine with her
poor roads will lose this income.
Dr.. S. c. Gordon.
In a statement to the Statewide
good roads committee of Maine. DR..
Seth c. Gordon of Portland, one of
Names oldest and most prominent
citizens, in reply to question as to
the best plan for raising funds for flu
ture highway construction in Maine.
said:
II am sure the plan OF a mill tax for
the roads of Maine is by far the most
feasible one to establish the trunk
lines and others as may be desirable
from time to time. Every taxpayer in
the State is compelled to contribute
his or her share to enable the resi-
dents Of the State to transact their
normal business with greater facility
and provide freer access for the
enormous tourist traffic which come to
the State during the summer season.
In this way the tax burden will be
better borne and much more improve
ment made in all roads throughout the
entire State. Under efficient superin-
tendence, less money will be wasted
and much more will be Systematically
accomplished"
Hon. A. s. LittIefield.
Hon. A. S. Littlefield Of Rockland,
prominent attorney, in a statement en-
dclsing the mill tax plan says: Il was
present at the meeting at Augusta and
fully agree with the general sentiment
of the meeting. particularly did en-
dolse the position of Governor-elect
Gail E. Milliken that the building of
good roads must be continued and
provided for in a manner that will fix
a settled policy for the State. Also 1t

idea of raising money by bond would

A FIXED INCOME
FOR GOOD ROADS
THE BEST Plan
Former Governor Haines, Con-
gresham Elect Goodall and
Others Give Opinion on a Big
Problem Confronting Maine.

That Maine needs some arrange
ments whereby there may be a fixed
annual income for road construction
each year. is the opinion of former
Governor William T. Haines of Water
vile. In an interview with the Ken
nebec Journal. Governor Haines said:
"Of course you know that I have
taken great interest in the improve
ment of the highways Of Maine Of
fered the first bill in 1895 providing
for State highway commissioner, but
this was rejected by the Legislature.
Ten years later, in 1905, the same bill
was introduced again and passed.
From that time forward especially
during my administration as governor,
I have worked and talked on the i'm
provement Of highways, on every oc-
casion.
"Since have retired from public life
have felt that the responsibility of
this matter was on others: SO have
said nothing and do not know that
have anything to say now. If had, it
would be in commentator of the work
as 1t is being done now, as it has been
done for the last four years. Con-
sidering our mileage and great State.
with its diversified interests in differ
ent localities. think we have gotten
along well with this new problem. The
farmer is getting over his prejudice
against the automobile, the cars which
the farmers have purchased very
largely, are creating strong senti-
ment in favor of better roads.
Il am inclined to think that mill
tax would help to settle the questions
which are continually arising before
the Legislature. What we need Is a
fixed income, such as seems reason
able, spent year after year. and then
take advantage of all federal aid Of
fered. I think the automobile tax will
go quite a ways toward this but it will
have to be supplemented by other in
come: and probably the same mill tax
would be the way to do it. We must
have more money both for building and
maintenance every year, and the peo-
pie will demand it and consequently
vote for 1t readily.
1.-The question of highways has got
ten beyond the ambitions of the auto
mobilists or the politicians. It is the
peoples question now. They want
better roads and they know they will
have to pay for improvements If they
get them.
1.-THE thing of most practical i'm
portance in my Judgment, is to extend
the State patrol so that when roads are
once properly built, they will be there
after maintained and kept in order all
the time, just as the railroad takes
care Of it's tracks. This. with better
construction in many places. such as
will meet the demands in every local !
ity, is what see necessary as a prac-
tical solution of better roads"

Army and Navy in
Conflict with Yale
And Harvard Game

NEW YORK, Feb. LIT now seems
likely that the Army Navy game will be
played on Franklin field November rs
next. This will mean clash with the
Yale-Harvard game In the bowl at New
Haven, and while the service authorities
do not relish this and are still trying to
avoid the conflict. no alternative date
which is satisfactory to both institutions
has been named. The date now in mind
is the Saturday before Thanksgiving day.
The Quakers had intended to arrange a
game for that time, but the fact that this
idea appears to have been dropped may
be regarded as an indication that the
Army and Navy have approached a def
inlte agreement concerning November 25

mated that the Navy might agree TO
readjustment OF the agreement which
called for the playing OF the 1916 contest
at Philadelphia. but It is now understood
that talk of this nature was not at all
official.
