didn't take place an arrangement
having been made before the election.

OPENING UP OF
CLOv'L'ND TRAIL
WILL BE HELD IN July BY IRON AND
G0GEBIC COUNTY PEOPLE
BARBECUE AT SAN SOUCI
Hundreds of People From Both
Counties Win Assemble At Beau
tiful Resort to Celebrate

The Cloyerland Trail will be form
ally opened about July l. 1916 That
much was decided upon al an informal
luncheon at the Crystal Falls club
rooms last Tuesday night when com
mittee OF Gogebic county people met J
large number OF Iron county people
and the matter Of httingly celebrating
the opening Of the trail was discussed.
The committee consisted of VIM Boni-
face, the Well known lumberman, Ted
and joe Kelly. the Watersmeet mer-
chants, all we'll known and influential
residents Of Gogebic county The
committee came here originally to
meet Frank +. Rogers, state highway
commissioner in regard 10 the adop-
tion OF the old military road as
trunk highway 10 connect the copper
and iron country and after consider
able discussion on that matter the sub
iect of fittingly dedicating the clio
verland Trail" was taken up.
viii BE Made General
II was thought best not 10 go into
detail in arrangements because Of the
fact that Ironwood and Bessemer Of
Gogebic county will certainly want to
be represented in any affair Of the
kind and Iron River and Stambaugh
in this county will certainly wish TO
be represented in the Iron county end.
Owing TO the impromptu nature Of the
meeting these very important sections
in each county were not represented
az the meeting on Tuesday evening. A
call will certainly be issued by the
Iron county people In attendance for
a county meeting in the near future
and Il Is quite likely that the Gogebic
fellows, upon their return home. have
already taken up the matter with their
people. Mr.. Kelly is member Of the
Gogebic county board from the town
ship of Watersmeet and Mr. Boniface
is also Il representative from the town
of Boniface. The Iron county road
commission. the Iron county board Of
supervisors and the Union Club OF
Iron River together with the Crystal
Falls club will undoubtedly join Ia
the Iron county end of tile
affair

Fire Protection on
The Line of Railroads

The list Of dupty fire wardens has
been arranged by the Maine Forestry
Service and the Maine Central and
Canadian Pacific Railroads, the men
being chosen from the section men of
the railroads. Commissioner Mace is
sending with the official list to the
chief fire wardens the following in
structions:
This year. I shall insist on closer
cooperation between the wardens Of
this department and the railroad war
dens. Get in touch with the nearest
one to you and work together along
such lines that will produce the best
results in your own judgment. There
are times when the facilities Of the
railroad might help out in case Of a
fire on or adjacent adjacent to the
railroad right Of way.
please study carefully the law re-
garding railroad fires and what the
railroad should do to keep its right Of
way free from slash and other protec-
tive measures as to spark arresters,
etc. These laws may be found in the
booklet sent out by this department.
This is a matter Of great impor-
lance and trust that the chief war
dens will bear the same in mind dur
ing the coming summer"

Fish and DOgfsh

So many inquiries are almost daily
made among the scores Of State
House people as to the nature Of the
legislation now before Congress relat-
ing to experiments for the extermi-
nation Of the dogfish along the Allan
tic coast that the text of the bill re-
Gently passed by the Senate is here
with given.
Sec. 1. That the Commissioner Of
lied and directed to conduct investi-
cations and experiments for the pur-
pose Of ameliorating the damage
wrought to the fisheries by dogfish and
other predacious fishes and aquatic
animals.
Sec 2. That the said Investigations
and experiments shall be such as to
develop the best and cheapest means
Of taking such fishes and aquatic ami
mails, Of utilizing them for economic
purposes, especially for food and to
encourage the establishment of fisher
les and markets for them.
Sec 8. That the sum of $4,000, or so
much thereof as may be necessary, is
hereby appropriated, out Of any money
in the treasury not otherwise appro-
priated, to enable the Commissioner Of
Fisheries to carry out the provisions
ly available.
The above measure has the united
support of the entire Maine delegation

If the outsider might have the OPP
portunity to follow some Of the ap-
plications that are received at the Of
fee Of the Maine Inland Fish and
Game Commission until the license is
granted or refused he would soon
have an idea of the great amount Of
work involved. Licenses of different
kinds mean a different manner Of pro-
ceedure. The facts alleged to be set
forth in the application must be sub
Stimulated and it is often a matter that
requires considerable time before it
can be traced out. A large per cent. OF
the applications do not comply with
the requirements of the law, and that
means delay. Other troubles are con-
stantly arising, some new, some old.
and it is usually the case that when a
license is granted without bother or
delay, a great big mark is painted on
the chimney. Taken all in all the fish
and game department sees about as
much of the hustle and hurry as any
department in the State House, espe-
cially at this time, when half the peo-
pie wants to go aguiding and the 9TH
er half want hunters licenses.

State House Chat

The break in the pipe supplying the
spring water to the State House which
caused the discontinuance Of that SER
vice last winter must be between the
shutoff and the roadway leading to
the building from Capitol street, dig
ging up to that point failing to dis
close any leak, although a queer as
sortment of pipe was found. This
service was piped into the State House
about 1860, it being donated by the
late James G. Blaine. That it has en-
dured to the present time is consid
cred remarkable by those accustomed
to the modern way of laying pipes.
Hiram Stiles. fireman at the Capitol
is off duty, being confined to his home
on Sewall street by an attack of the
grip.
Considerable annoyance is being suf-
fered by the non arrival of the en-
gines for the two motorboats being
built at Bucksport for the State For
estry department. The hulls are ready
! for the machinery, but it is held up
somewhere. it is understood, by the
congestion of freight traffic. The boats
are for service in the Chamberlain and
Chesuncook regions.
John F. Sprague of Monsoon was a
caller Friday at the State House, hav-
| ing business at the State library.
State Auditor J. E. Sullivan left Fri
