Calais letter, Bangor News-The many
anglers who have frequented the famous
salmon pool at the Union will be pleased
to know that Toll, 600 humpbacked salmon
fingerlings of the Pacific coast specie
have been distributed there and no doubt
will watch the experiment with interest
This pool has long been fshed for the
delicious salmon and numerous New YORK
and Boston anglers have tried their luck
there. Fish Warden Herbert Kerr states
that salmon are not so numerous in that
particular place as they used to be and
it is thought that the immense lot Of SUI
phuric acid and refuse that floats down
from the paper mill at Woodland has a
tendency to drive the fish away.
Eighty thousand hump-back salmon
from the Craig Brook hatchery at East

The resolutions, in the main, state
that Maine Is the largest potato grow
ing state in the country, and New
York Is the natural market for the po-
tato, apple and milk and cream output
Of this state. The resolves go on to
say that since the old way Of selling
the products Of Maine caused an out
lay Of at least so per cent. before the
goods reach the consumer. the state Of
New York is to be congratulated on the
step taken to sell the products by auc-
ton under the supervision Of the state.
The resolutions also pray that the gov

of New York appropriate a full and
sufficient sum Of money to carry on this
work, affecting as it does. not only the
consumers in New York, but the pro-
ducers in Maine and in other states.
1t is also urged that the state Of New
York equip and carry on milk stations.
and the resolutions state that the pro-
ducers of this state pledge themselves
to the support Of any such movements

potato growers further state that they

SETTL EMENT OF THE
CRANBERRY ISLES FIRES

The story Of the series of incendiary
fires last fall at Cranberry Isles and
the detection Of the incendiary was re-
Gently told in the Journal, together
with the statement that the young man
had been taken by relatives to a sani-
tarium. where he would be cared for,
his release being only on permission of
the Maine insurance commissioner. 1t
is now learned that the relatives have
reimbursed the sufferers from the fires
to the full extent of their losses, the
amount paid over in settlement being
about s23.5O0.
The young man will become of age
next June and an estate of upwards
of S25O,O0O, it is understood, will come
into his possession. This estate was
bequeathed the boy by his father and
has greatly increased during his minor
ity, so that the payment Of mere
$23,5O0 is an easy way out of the bad
box he was in. He cannot re-enter the
State of Maine without becoming sub
ject to arrest and trial for arson.
Cranberry Isles people are again
worrying over the apparent acts of an
other incendiary. Several small fires
have recently been set and the insur-
ance department has been asked to in
vestigate. 1t is understood that a
young woman Of rather irresponsible
mental capacity is suspected of the
deeds and that steps will be taken to
have her properly cared for
