Bunker for School superintendent

The Bar Harbor Times of Saturday,
Dec. 2, had the following item regarding
Secretary of State j. E. Bunker, who is
scheduled to return today to his desk at
the State House:
Hon. John E. Bunker, who has been
quite ill with the grip for several weeks,
is back at his desk in the secretary OIL
states office. During his illness ne lose
20 pounds, but as he now tips the scales
at $50 hounds he can scarcely be called a
living skeleton. An interesting rumor, and
one that his friends hope is we'll founded,
is that Gov. Curtis intends to appoint Mr..
Bunker to the office of State superinten-
dent of schools. This office has been va
cant since Payson Smith resigned to &C
cept a position in Massachusetts,, and the
fact that Gov. Curtis has delayed filling
the vacancy so long is interpreted as ind,-
eating that he intends to give the position
to Mr.. Bunker just as late in December
az nossible so as not to interfere with
Mr.. Bunker's duties as secretary OF state
TT is generally conceded that the big man
from Bar Harbor has made an enviable
record as secretary of state, and as he
has had some experience In school WORK
and has the ability to adapt himself TO
almost any position. it would not be at
all surprising if Gov. Curtis gave MN
this important office, which carries sal
ary of $4,000 a year"

Chairman H. B. Austin Finds
That Beavers Helm Fishinu

Hon. Harry b. Austin, chairman of tho
Maine Commission of Inland Fisheries
and Game, in a recent interview called
attention to a statement made in a for
mer interview regarding the increasing
NUMBER OF beaver in Maine being of adj
vantage to the fishing resources of tina
state. Chairman Austin is much inter-
ested to learn, through interviews and re-
ports from many camp proprietors. guide,
and wardens that everything indicates
the truth of his statement in regard to
the immense benefit these interestin.
little animals are proving to be in the
line of fish conservation.
Ihere is one section in Penobscot
county, much resorted to by sportsmen
which has had heretofore practically n,
trout hshlng, owing to the fact thar
while this particular region abounds in
lakes and ponds, these waters are in
habtated by pickerel and brooks flowing
INTO and from these ponds We're too small
to AFFORD suitable water for trout A few
years ago colony of beaver began oper-
atoms in this section and within n short
time these small brooks were damned up
ana now countless little ponds are found
Whlch contain large numbers of trout,
and to the waters of that vicinity sports
men IN ever increasing numbers will come
to avail themselves of the excellent trout
fishing, which only a few years ago did
not exist there. Thus the beaver should
be credited for really creating new re-
source in the State. In addition to the
creation OF many ponds which became the
nome Oh many trout, millions of gallons
Oh water which would otherwise go to
waste are held by these dams in storage
and brooks which in usual seasons run
dry or practically so during the summer
months are now afforded a good flow Of
water during the dry season.
II the beaver in Maine are allowed to
increase IN the next few years as they
should be. 1t is quite natural to suppose
that the great increase in water storage
will make itself generally felt through
out the great watersheds of the State
and no man can cay what great increase
of power resources may be given by the
work of these Industrious animals.
1t Is the opinion of Chairman Austin
that the increase in the number Of
beaver has helped in some measure
which will hereafter be much more an
preciated than at the present time. to
neutralize condition which the defor-
estation of the past so years has brought
about as regards the volume of the
States water storage. While beaver in ,
few instances have caused damage to
timberlands by the flowage of soma vol
liable timber. the great good they have
already accomplished along the lines
above mentioned has been of great vaIue
to the State Anyone who has made

National Guard Asks $97,466
for 1917 and $72,966 for 1918

The adiutant generals department
vii, ask the coming Legislature for an
annropriation of $97,4 66 for the year
1917 and $72,966 for the year 1918, ac-
cording to a statement filed at the Of
fee of the State auditor. The last
LEGISLATURE appropriated s62,966 Tor
each of the years 1915 and 1916.
Twenty thousand dollars is asked for
armory rentals for each year. The IN
crease asked for is necessary in order
to meet the requirements or the Ma
tional Defense Act increasing the
strength Of the National Guard. Ihis
will necessitate the organizing OF new
companies and of platoons in many OF
the smaller towns which are unable to
maintain a full company. all of which
will have to be provided with suitable
armories. The present appropriation
has been found inadequate to pay arm
DRY rent for the companies already or
ganized and the maintenance of the
State arlnory at Portland.
Twenty-one thousand dollars is
asked for steel lockers for National
Guard armories. 1t is desired to equip
the armories with suitable steel lock-
ers for the better protection of the
State and United States property is
sued for use of the several organiza-
tons of the National Guard. While the
municipal officers of cities and towns
arc required by law to provide suita-
bic armories for organizations of the
National Guard located within their
borders it is believed that in order to
secure uniformity in the care and pro-
lection Of property, steel lockers should
be purchased and owned by the State
and issued for use Of the companies as
is other military property. Being por-
table they can be taken down and
moved from place to place in case of
a change in the locality of any organ
ization.

Public Utilities Will Ask
$SS,500 Yearly for Two Years

The Public Utilities Commission will
ask the coming Legislature for an ap-
preparation of $SS,500 for EACH of the
years 1917 and 1918, according to a
statement filed Saturday at the office
of the State auditor. These items are
divided as follows: Salaries of COM
missioners. s14,000; salaries of clerk
and assistant clerk, $4,000; purchase of
books, maps, stationery, Office furniture
and supplies, procuring statistics and
information, securing physical exami-
nation and valuation of public service
corporations, investigation of accidents,
and for defraying all expenses inciden-
tai to the discharge of it's duties, in
Guiding salaries and compensation of
chief of departments, experts, clerks
and ether employees not otherwise pro-
vided for. $4,000; grade crossings, as
provided by Chapter 147, Public laws
of 1913, $4,000; for cooperative worn
with the United States Geological sur
vey, $500. The last Legislature ap-
propriated s79,25O for the use of the
commission for the year 1915 and $50. 500
for the year 1916.
The statement regarding the appro-
priation for the public utilities COM
mission says:
me estimate is prepared in substan-
tially the same form adopted by the
Legislatures of 1913 and 1915 in making
the appropriations, which seems best
TO accomplish the double purpose of
provlcins an appropriation sufficiently
elastic to meet the varied activities of
the commission with the largest degree
OF economy md nf 1ff
Sible basis for comparison.
The present estimate states Tho
same amount as previously for salaries
nXed by law, which would be subject
TO change only if the Legislature itself
should first change the provisions on
which they are based.
The item of $4,000 contained in tho
estimate embraces the same general
class OF expenditures provided for in
the appropriation for 1915. in two ;tems
of $4,000 and $500 respectively A
larger total is recommended because ~

which are now well past the oroariya,
