Fish and Game Notes

Word comes from the Rangeley re-
slon that the ice is about 30 inches
thick and still freezing. The ice was
swept out Of the Carrabassett a month
ago, but the new ice is already 20
inches thick. Five feet of snow can be
found anywhere in the woods. The
sap season Of 1915 was about over at
this time in March, while this year
it has not yet begun. Conveyances
were on wheels last year and crossing
the lake was called foolhardy. but this
year an aeroplane is needed for trav-
cling and the ice in the lake would
hold up the German and Allied armies.
The prospect Is that the hotel season
will be late in opening.

FORESTRY DEPARTMENT..

The following little poem has been
received by Deputy Forest Commits
sioner Edw. A. Mathes from one of the
fire wardens in the employ Of the de-
partment, who thought it was pretty
clever and gave needed warning in a
nice way. The department officials
agree and the Journal man thinks it
worth reprinting, regretting that the
warden failed to say from what publi-
cation he clipped it. It is worth read
ing.
"lE"
(By Harris A. Reynolds)
If you can toss a match into a clearing
And never give a thought to put it out,
Or drop your cigarette butt without fear
That flames may kindle in the leaves
about,
II you can knock the ashes from you,
brier
Without glance to see where they ma,
fall.
And later find the forest all afire,
Where you have passed-with no one
near to call,
working.
And cast your stogie stub into the slash
Unmindful Of the danger therein lurking
Or homes and happiness that you ma,
smash
II you can leave your camp fire while ii,
glowing,
No thought Of industries that 1t may
blight
Or Of the billion saplings in the growing
Turned into charcoal e'er the cominf
night,
II you can start a fire beneath a brush
pile,
When the wind Is roaring like a distan
gun,
You surely should be shot without a trial
And which is more, you'll be a fool m,
son.

Fusion in Fourth?


Talk here at the capital is that there
is likely to be a fusion of the Demo-
Gratis and Progressives in nominating
DR.. E. belmont Merrill Of Foxcroft as
the candidate for Congress in the
Fourth District. DR.. Merrill was the
Progressive nominee in the last cleo
ton. Hon. Charles w. Mullen of Ban
gor, who was the Democratic candi-
date in the campaigns Of 1912 and 1914.
will not again be a candidate as he is
now a member Of the public utilities
commission, which in a way eliminates
a person from active participation in
politics. Associate Justice John B.
Madigan OF Houlton, who opposed Mr.
Mullen in the Democratic primaries of
1912, is now a member Of the supreme
judicial court and is therefore out OF
the running. William A. Martin OF
Houlton, who lost his life in railroad
accident in the South a few weeks ago,
would doubtless have been nominated
by the Democrats in that district with
out opposition.
In the election of 1914 in the fourth
district DR.. Merrill polled 1921 votes,
while 1O,O21 were cast for Charles W.
Mullen Of Bangor, the Democratic NOM
inee, and 1901 for Congressman Frank
E. Guernsey Of Dover, the Republic
can candidate. who was reelected by
q plurality Of 1855.
The matter may not be generally
known. but such il the fact that all
four Of Names representatives in Con-
gress are what are called minority
congressman. that IL, not one Of them
received a majority Of votes polled in
the last election. Congressman Daniel
]. McGillicuddy. Democrat, In the Sec
ond District, had a plurality OF over
1000 but he lacked nearly 400 Of get
ting a majority.
In the first district. Congressman
Asher c. Kinds. Republican. was re-
elected, he polling 1862 votes. to 49,
o35 for John Clark Scates Of West
brook, the Democratic nominee, and
2.276 for Walter c. Emerson Of Port
land. the candidate Of the Progressives.
It will thus be seen that Congressman
Kinds lacked over 1900 votes of ma
jority.
