BANGOR, Me-, Nov. 30.-Patrons Of
big city restaurants might not see any
connection between the high price of
spruce timber and scarcity of lob

Years ago when, although perhaps
there we're no more Holsters in the

shell fish, spruce timber was selling
at SIG to $40 per thousand feet. Now
the price is $40 per thousand, Lobster
pots, traps and pounds are made of
spruce, ioists, boards and laths. Also,
years ago Manila hemp rigging was
selling at about half tie present
prices. Lobstermen use lot of that.
And furthermore and perhaps, most
important of all, gasoline is very eX-

il. these times in motor boats, instead
of rowing dories to an dfrom their

West Virginia Legislature Passes
Resolution Looking to Continuance
of Its Policy of Delay.

According to a telegram received
by Acknowledgement John Garland
Pollard, from j. Herbert Mercer, the
city sheriff and his associates who
are serving writ orders on the West
Virginia legislators, have been meet
ing with splendid success and ex-
pect to complete their work by this
morning.
Sheriff Mercer stated in his teie-
gram that the work of the Richmond
delegation has been greatly facili-
tated by the courtesy and co-opera-
ton of Governor Hatfield, Speaker
Hammond, of the house of delegates;
President Goodykoontz, of the SEN
ate; Mr.. Hallahan, secretary to the
governor, clerks and sergeant-at-
arms.
It is the desire of the West Vir-
GINA officials to have every member
of both branches served with papers,
and those on whom they have not
been served are out of the city. How
ever, the service is expected to De
completed not later than today.
That West Virginia will further
contest the suit instituted by Vir-
GINA and make defense against the
rule of mandamus in the Supreme
court of the United States in Which
case must be shown why mandamus
should not lie against the members
of the legislature looking towards
raising a levy to meet the Virginia
debt Judgment was made a fact when
the West Virginia senate joint reSo-
luton was passed and sent to the
house.
The resolution also provides for
the calling of a special session OF the
legislature if it is not in session at
the time of the rendition OF the
courts judgment upon the mandamus,
whether the judge is favorable or
to the state Of West Vlr-
ginia.

Will FIGHT KANDAhUSI MAY BRING IN A QUART ]
Prohibition Authorities of Virginia
Hid That This win Not Violate
Reed Amendment. S

Rishmond, Feb. 26.-The new law
against, interstate traffic in liquor
wiIsnot!affec the right of a man, un-
der THE State prohibition law, to
bring into Virginia, by means OF his
travelling bag, his regular monthly al
lowance of one quart, if the view ex-
pressed yesterday by high legal and
prohibition authorities is the correct
one. The Reed amendment makes it
unlawful for any person to order,
purchase or cause intoxicating liq-
uors to be transported in interstate
commerce for beverage purposes, but
the consensus of opinion is that the
contents of mans hand baggage
may not properly be deemed to be in
interstate commerce.
Likewise, the thirsty Virginian
would be entirely within his rights
should he bring his one quart home
from across the line in his automo-
bile, in a private yacht down the
Chesapeake Bay, across the pommel
of his saddle, in his hip pocket or in
anything which will hold quart Of
liquor.
Without the Reed amendment, it is
more than probable that the quart
would have been made unlawful in
Virginia within few months after
the Legislature of 1918 convened.
Senator Mapp gave notice last winter
that he would advocate a "bone-dry"
Virginia just as soon as the people
were educated to that point.
