Outcome of Portland Mans
Hunting Trip, Oxbow Region

Chief Warden F. E. Jorgensen OF
Northern Aroostok county has report
ed to the commissioners of inland fish
cries and game the prosecution of
Stanley Chase of Oxbow before Trial
Justice w. L. Waldron of Ashland on
Nov. IL for engaging in the business of
guiding without first having procured
license therefor. Mr.. Chase decided
to plead guilty to the charge and in
view of eXtenuating circumstances
connected with his part in this case
sentence was suspended upon payment
Of costs-S6.07.
II appears from reports on file at the
off1ce OF the commissioners of inland
fisheries and game that Chase was
charged with having guided Walter d.
Hanos of Portland, while on the lat
ter's recent hunting trip to the Oxbow
region. from which trip Kinds and
Chase brought to Portland four deer
and a monster bear, the party making
the trip from Oxbow to Portland by
automobile. The game attracted much
attention there and the Kinds deer
and the bear were photographed with
Kinds and his guide. for use in the To-
cal newspapers. Chase Is reported to
nave returned to his home with
beautiful souvenir of the hunting trip
presented by Mr.. Kinds, in the shape
of handsome gold watch suitably i'll
scribed with the date of the bear
hunt.
Shortly after Chases return to Ok
bow prosecution was instituted against
him by Warden Jorgensen for guiding
on this trip without a license, with
the result above stated 1t appears
from reports Of the warden that when
the party left Oxbow they had only
two bucks and doe and they claimed
one of the bucks belonged to a fellow
by the name Of Grass at Oxbow or.
rather. that they got it of him.
The commissioners are investigating
several other incidents connected with
this much-talked-of trip which are not
quite clear to the department and an
other interesting story may be looked
fer later.
One curious feature or the inland fish
and game laws is called attention to
by this case:
The law provides a severe penalty
in the case of guide who knowingly
guides nonresident in hunting who
is not equipped with the necessary
hunting license, but under the present
law there appears to be no penalty
which can be imposed against a resi-
dent sportsman for employing an TN
licensed guide, otherwise the fish and
game department might have had an
other prosecution to report in connec-
ton with this affair

Up from the wilds of Lewiston.

CHI LII s

Afar in the mountains / love to roam,
Where pine trees rustic and night winds moan;
Mid towering crags and steep inclnes, ~~-~-
Where rivers dash like foaming wine
Beneath misty cloud and overhanging vine;
While messy banks and stately pines
0 'erlook the ripples and liquid chimes
AS if sweet comfort minging rhimes
In stately river whispering pines.
To all who list, and listening hasten,
Mid sylvan charm, the heart awakens;
Ills life to live and coverty lying,
In shady nook quietly spying;
For wary trout shimmering and rising.
Prone in the shade Of the shetering willows
Tall grass waving like angry pillows,
Messy banks and iittering swallows
Lazy clouds and wooded hollOws;
Fashioned as if by some master mind,
To tempt the weary, and rest the mind
Lingering and drinking the cooling draught
Of perfect peace that can not be bought.
Content to dream and nurture life,
Far from the maddening load Of strife;
Content to feel the life blood bound,
In glad response to natures fOunt; -
Content to hear the song birds note,
And Dream of days when nature spoke,
To boyish hearts, fresh filed with hope,
Content to lose the load of care,
And feel the freshness Of summer air,
That breathes of hope and loving care,
Of many strength and purpose true,
And firm resolve to do the right,
Mid storm and tempest shipwreck too,
Content to be in every deed,
-Four square and for another's need,
A tower of strength and confidence.
Content to shoulder life's heavy load,
And tread the path to the mountain road,
That leads to honor and vision fair,
OF peace and hope and sweet content
