The expected strike Of the railroad
men is giving the secretary Of States
department some uneasiness about the
shipments Of the ballots for the Sep
tember election. although Harold E.
Donnell in charge OF the ballots, is
taking every precautfon to see that
they are in the hands Of the proper
officials throughout the State before
the trouble begins
He on Thursday began shipping the
ballots, those for the I'd and 4th Dis
tricts being sent, and the others will
be started on their way in season to
reach their destinations by Monday
next. These ballots are the first sets.
Mr.. Donnell thinks it wise not to ship
the second or duplicate sets at this
time. because, If sent, the strike might
come upon us and the ballots be held
up somewhere and render it impossi-
BILE to locate or move them farther to-
ward their places of consignment
Should the strike come and it becomes
necessary, other means Of conveyance
will have to he found and the ballots
will be where they can be found and
shipped.
To insure the ballots safely reach
ing their destinations in Maine, the
office force in the ballot department
is working day and night and may
have to encroach upon the Sabbath,
although it is hoped that this will not
be necessary.

Fish and Game

The Commissioners Of Inland Fish
cries and Game have received from
Game Warden D. 8. SWEET of Weld
the report Of the prosecution of Ed
ward E. Henrt of Kingston, N. Y, for
fishing in closed waters. He was tried
on Aug. 2s before Trial Justice S. S.
Carleton at Weld. adjudged guilty and
fined SIG and costs of $3.50, which he
paid.
]. L.. Howard of Ridlonville, chief
game warden for Oxford county, was
caller Thursday at the department.
The inquiries continue to pour in to
the Fish and Game department, in
spite of the fact that the new federal
regulations have been published all
over the State. Person after person,
particularly from the western part OF
Maine, are anxious to know whether
or not they are to be cut off from
their usual early September hunting
for birds and they quickly learn that
if they kill one before Sept. Is they
will have Uncle Sam and all his min
ions to deal with.
One Providence, r. l., man, who had
come to Maine especially for the bird
shooting, was delighted CD to learn
that the new federal law had been
promulgated on the very day he had
left home. He will miss his usual
Maine shooting for the season of 1915.
but will make his plans to fit the case
next year.
Good news has just been received
by the Maine Inland Fisheries and
Game Commissioners from Game
Warden John Perkins of Brunswick
relative to the workings of the Feder-
al Laws with the State laws on the
matter Of the protection of game birds
in Merrymeeting bay. Mr.. Perkins
writes as follows:
The ducks have been coming into
the bay in very large fiocks of late. l
think there are more birds at the
present time in the bay than for
great many years. 1t is a sight
worth going a long way to see. 1t
certainly shows the effect of the Fed
eral Law. l have talked with several
