Ordered, that the State Highway Com
mission be authorized to proceed at
once to construct the Georges River

South Thomaston in conjunction with

to be taken from the appropriation for
administration and maintenance.

struction of said road.
Whereas, the appropriation made by
Chapter so of the Resolves of 1915 for
new church for the Passamaquoddy
tribe of Indians at Peter Danas point
is insufficient for the reason that it is
necessary to put in a new foundation
instead of placing the building on the
old foundation as originally planned:
Be it therefore ordered: That the
State Auditor be authorized and direct
ed to pay from the State contingent
fund to the appropriation for said
church, the sum of $3.50 to cover cost
of said foundation, excavating, etc.

Bobcats and Young Deer

A member Of the same party, speak.
ing of the number Of deer in the woods
in that section, said:
well, no doubt there are deer aplen-
ty. but we didn't get near enough to
them. even with good ammunition. But
we saw very few young deer tracks
the bobcats are getting in their work
too well. We found plenty Of traces Of
the bobcats and perhaps two or three
tracks of young deer. where last year
the ground was covered with them.
Bear tracks were very numerous
and porcupines-say the woods were
almost alive with them. It will not be
surprising to find that a bounty will
again be necessary to thin them out
One member Of our party could have
shot seven in one day. had he wanted
them. We could easily have got q
to 40 during our -"eek's stay. Bounties
for bobcats and porcupines will he
talked by all in our party from now
on"

State-Aided Institutions.
and Their New Estimates

Capt. James F. Bagley, secretary of
the State Board of Charities and Cor
rections, has sent letter to the trus-
tees of State aided charitable institu-
tons calling their attention to the law
which requires that they shall file with
the State auditor before the first Mon
day of every year preceding session
of the Legislature their estimates as to
how much of an appropriation the in
stitution will want for the following
two years. The letter also says:
I'm filing this statement with the
State auditor, it is further recommend
ed that you state specifically the pur-
pose for which the appropriation is re-
quested; also that you mention any
conditions which are likely to exist
during the years 1917 and 1918 different
from those which have existed during
the years 1915 and 1916.
Doubtless definite recommendations
will be required by the Governor and
the appropriations committee from this
board as to the amount of appropria-
ton which should be granted to each
institution. 1t is expected that if the
institution is satisfied with the recon-
mendation of the Board, the hearing in
such case before the appropriations
committe will be brief and even I'M
necessary: that hearings will be re-
quired at length only in those cases
where the judgment of the board is
questioned by the officers of the insti-
tuition.

charitable institutions in Maine:

THE PHANTOM BUCK
deer OF old BURNT
MT, FRANKLIN co.

Comes a hunting yarn from the upper
part of Franklin county that has the
distinction of being true, because one
of the party says it is true-and he was
not the central figure in the incident,
at that.
A well-known Bath mechanic, accom-
panied by four or five relatives and
friends, were up in that section look
ing for deer or any other game worth
the shooting. The Bath man is good
shot and he should have brought home
a deer-but he didn't. The party was
scouting about Burnt mountain.
big buck was started and he made
bee line toward the Bath mans posi-
ton. The buck was a husky chap and
he was going a race horse speed when
the hunter lined his gun on 1t.
BY the way, he was armed with
double-barrelled shot gun, loaded with
heavy buckshot. a charge that ought
to drop anything from a woodchuck to
an elephant-but it didn't.
On came Sir Buck, thoroughly
alarmed at something and crashing
through the trees and underground
without any letting up Of speed Mr.
Hunter, when at close range, pulled
the trigger. citing to see the deer
stop with it's entire fore shoulder torn
away-but the deer didn't stop.
Mr.. Bath Man stood half paralyzed
with establishment but recovered
enough when the deer was SO close
to him in passing that he could have
touched its side. swung around the
gun and let go the second barrel, not
over four feet from the animal-which
did not stop. but kept going, going,
gone!
When the rest Of the party arf1N
and the story was told, it was harg
believe, but the tracks of the deer wen
plainly seen, the mans hiding place
and footprints were easily found. with
the two empty shells lying there-but
no deer. Neither could trace of hair
or blood drops be found, nor even any
signs Of where the heavy buckshot had
torn the leaves or branches. A mys.
terry 1t was, because the well-known
Bath mechanic Is a good shot. It was
finally solved thusly:
The party on leaving home, took with
them a quantity of shells for the shot
guns which had been loaded a long
time. although thought to be in good
condition-and the well-known Bath
mechanic got two Of the poor ones
a fact which is proven by the fact that
the deer is still going.

NEXT PRESIDENT!
GREE1S COLONEL
People All Right; They
Need To Be Awakened,
He Says, After Trip West.

Greeted by cries of ave want Teddy
and cheers for "our next President
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt arrived
here from Chicago yesterday after
noon. Looking better than before he
left this city on Friday, he made no
effort TO conceal his satisfaction with
the journey and the reception accorded
his arguments for preparedness in the
hear. of what had been described as
"the enemy's country"
The reception TO Colonel Roosevelt
was by no means of the accelerated
type. When the Lake Shore Limited
pulled into the Grand Central Termi-
nal at 5:35 O'Clock there was only a
small group waiting, and of this group
tho majority were relatives and
friends. However, when Colonel Roose-
Welt was seen coming up the platform
with Mrs. Richard Derby, his daughter,
a cry Of "There's Teddy went up.
Colonel Cheered by Commuters.
Three cheers for Roosevelt" yelled
a young man whom somebody identified
as Harry Wright Given with a will,
the cheers attracted the attention OF
bolated commuters. Again they were
called for and given in greater volume,
followed by cries of "We want Teddy
and cheers for "our next President"
The Colonel, with Mrs. Derby, proceed
cd through the station, followed by the
crowd to the carriage stand, where his
motor was waiting.
There was more cheering at the car
riage stand, where, in response to the
CRY, Colonel, we're not giving you
anything we need YOU" he made the
nearest approach TO speech since
leaving Chicago.
The people are all right" he de-
clared. "All they need is to be walked
up"
There were more cheers, and as ne
turned 10 enter his motor with DR..
and Mrs. Derby, he espied young man
with a bronze cross in the lapel OF his
coat.
Hello, Mr.. Spanish War Veteran,
he exclaimed. 81 am glad to see you,
and he was off to meet members OF his
family before proceeding to his home
in Oyster Bay.
Rooseyelt's Statement.
Before leaving the train Colonel
Roosevelt gave TO the reporters state
ment voicing his appreciation OF the
reception accorded himself and his ar
guments in the West, and registering
the hope that the Chicago convention
will nominate man on preparedness

Progressives and independent Demo-
Gratis Of the Andrew Jackson type. can

ton that the Chicago convention
should not nominate him unless 1t is
prepared TO stand for what he stands
for. and declaring that at no time had
