word Indirectly would cover . loan
made by savings bank to . corpora
tion of which corporation one OF the
bank ofIlcials 10 an officer or director.
The last part Of the clause quoted Is.
of course. sufficiently clear relating to
CO. partnerships for there the bank Of
ficer> being a member of the co-part-
nership Would be individually liable
for the debts Of the partnership.
My off, hand opinion is that saw
ings bank might properly loan to-
corporation all other things !. being
equal, even though an official of the
bank was an officer Of the corporation,
yet there is the question on the use or
meaning of the word indirectly
Mr.. Pattanaal's Reply.
Attorney General Pattangall's reply
to Bank Commissioner Vernon's COM
munication is as follows:
Replying to yours of recent date,
I do not think that Section 81 Of Chap
ter As of the Revised Statutes would
prohibit loans made by savings banks
to a corporation of which one of the
bank officials is an off err or director.
In my opinion the word indirectly in
the law was intended to cover cases
" here loans were n.s dc to a third per-
son for the benefit OF an officer of the
bank.
But I am not sure what our court
would say about the matter. II you
will read the opinion of the Justices.
los Maine 545, you will find that the
reason Of the court would Indicate
that it might take an opposite view OF
the question than the one which ap-
peals to me and with this opinion in
mind, l should think that it would be
well to go over the matter with good
deal of care before officially constru-
ing the section in question"

A Potato Experiment

Dairy Instructor E. A. Rogers, in
charge of the seed potato improvement,
is interested in an experiment in pota-
toes. He some time ago found some
splendid potatoes, perfectly free from
any trace of disease, fine in quality
and handsome in appearance. He wrote
to the raiser and secured a barrel of
these potatoes. OF these he has sent a
peck to parties in Patten and a like
amount to John O. Randall of Bruns-
wick for the purpose of planting and
testing out the variety in other soil.
He will himself plant the balance of
the barrel for the same purpose and re
is in hopes to have as a result a va
riety of potato that will be as fine as
ANYTHING grown in the world.

Attorney Gems. Opinion
Savings Bank Loans

Attorney General VIM. r. Pattan
gall of Augusta, in an opinion rem
dered Tuesday says that he does not
think that Section 81 of Cha pier As Of
the Revised Statutes would prohibit
loans made by savings banks to cor
poration of which one of the bank Of
ficials is an officer or director. The
opinion was rendered at the request OF
State Bank Commissioner Irving f.
Vernon.
Mr. Vernon's Query.
Bank Commissioner Vernon's letter
bearing on the subject is as follows:
Il have been asked to construe Sec
ton % of Chapter As Of the Revised
Statutes, relative to Savings Banks.
THE part of the paragraph in ques-
ton reads as follows:

indirectly to any Officer of the corpora

There seems to be q tendency
among horse owners to cover up this
disease as long as the horse is in con-
dition to work, or to trade for a bet
ter one. This method is an obstacle in
the way of eradicating or even con-
trolling the disease.
A horse may be affected with gland
ers and still be able to work for
some time, but every stable, horse
shed or blacksmith shop he enters, as
well as the watering trough and
hitching post, are germ-receiving sta
municated, not only to other horses,
as well.
Hog Cholera.
During the past year some 25 out
breaks of hog cholera were reported
and in almost every case, hog cholera
serum. furnished free by the state, has
been administered. In some instances
feel that the serum has saved the
lives of hogs. but in a majority Of out
breaks we feel that the percentage of
deaths was not lessened by the use
Of the serum. OF the whole number
of outbreaks reported every one eX-
cept two was where the hogs were
being fed swill, or garbage, from some
institution, hotel or city. and in no
case had the. swill been sterilized or
cooked. 1t is my opinion and that
opinion is based in part upon state
ments made by some Of the best vet
erinarians, both in this and other
states, that in a great majority of cases
where city swill is being fed to swine
and the herd becomes disclosed, it
would be found by properly conduct
ed post-morten that the disease would
be ptomaine poisoning, tuberculosis or
some digestive troubles caused by
feeding unsterilized swill or garbage.
believe that good authority will bear
me out in the assertion that to feed
city swill or garbage, without sterilizing
it, thereby killing every disease bear
ing germ to an animal which is in
tended for food for the human family,
ought to be an offense punishable by
fine.
Importation of Horses.
During the past year 1879 horses
were imported into Maine. many of
these coming direct from the west |
believe that this is the largest num-
Der imported in any year. Nearly all
of these have been inspected on arrival
at their destination, and two were con-
demned as glandered
Importation of Cattle.
Two hundred and seven cattle We're
imported into the state during the
past year for breeding purposes and
1877 of this number were pure bred.
When tested after being here 80 days,
three of them reacted to the tubercu-
lin test and We're condemned without
appraisal, according to law.
Importation Of Sheep and Swine.
1.-TWO hundred and fifty-one sheep
We're imported during the past year for
breeding purposes and $50 for slaugh-
ter Seven hundred and thirty four
hogs were received during the year for
breeding purposes and 21,S51 for i'm

656 Deer Killed In 1915

Reports submitted by forest
officers in charge of the National
Forests of New Mexico show Il
total of 656 deer, $50 turkeys,
a bear, AS cayotes, 81 wolves
and 16 lions as killed by hunters
during the season of 1915. These
reports do not pretend to be
fundamentally accurate, but are
careful estimates based on close
observations by the forest rang
ers, and give a good general in.
dex to hunting conditions.
Forest officers point out that
the mum Der of deer killed in New
Mexico was only half the mum ber
killed last year, and attribute
this to the growing scarcity of
the supply. Many of them con
slider a ave year closed season
necessary t0 restore deer hunt
ing to the normal basis.
Conditions are said TO be es-
pecially deplorable in the Carson
forest in northern New Mexico.
where on a million acres of fine
deer range, deer are so scarce
that only 8 were Killed.
The Albuquerque Game Pro
tective association in comment
ing on these figures state that
unless the people of New Mex
leo give their prompt support
to the Chamberlain Hayden
Game Refuge bill now before
congress, thus insuring IN
prompt creation of a system Of
game refugees, that a long closed
season is the only remaining
alternative for saving the deer
from virtual extinction. In short.
it is said that the situation spells
either game refugees or no hunt.

The troop, with the exception OF
ten men who will be left as a
