Big Game Hunting Season
Will Open Monday, Oct. |

"Of course the war will have some
effect on the big game season as it did
on the summer business" commented
Hon. Harry B. Austin of Phillips, the
chairman of the commission on inland
fisheries and game Saturday. as ne
discussed the hunting season which
will open in this State on Monday, Oct.
!.
The receipts of the nonresident
hunting licenses TO date are one third
less than they were a year ago at this
time. The small number of applica-
tions for nonresident hunters licenses
may be accounted for 10y the fact that
the partridge season is two weeks
later this year than usual, in other
words. the open time on partridges
will not begin until the first of October
whereas in the past years the open
season has begun on the 18th of Sep
TENDER Many sportsmen come down
into the State to do some partridge
hunting a few days before the open
ing Of the big game season. but of
course this year II Is a different story.
The open season on ducks began Sept.

moose had been killed by Bangor &

James of the State museum had gone
after the carcass, with the hope that
it would make a fine specimen for
mounting for the museum
Well. Mr.. James went to Bangor all
right, but found that nothing had been
done by the railroad officials toward
getting the carcass into Bangor so tnat
he could save the skin, time being an
important factor in the proper mount
ing of such animals. So he proceedeu
to the scene of MIR. Moose's sudden oe-
parture and found the scene all rish
inst where it had always been, put
the moose, oh, where was he?
To cut it short, some one had got
ahead of him and the carcass was
gone. In dressing the animal, also she

able: with the restricted view, it is
inpracticable of enforcement in any
manner which is either intelligent or
free from danger of confiscation.'
1T is, however. a fact that the rates
are comparatively high, when viewed
ir the light of those charged general
ly throughout the State. This can be
remedied by the city of Belfast, if it
sees fit.
The company's gross operating re-
venue for the year ending June 80, 1916,
was s1s.s36.44. Average experience in
dictates that not less than one third OF
this ought to be contributed for the cost
of fire protection; it differs accord
ing to local conditions, but the amount
is very substantial. The current hy-
drant rental actually paid amounted to
$4,000. AS long as the domestic users
are content to pay the cost of property
insurance against fire and to pay in
proportion to their use for domestic
purposes, instead of in proportion to
the value of the property protected
they must expect to carry this extra
burden.
1t has been held that the water COM
pany is bound by the contract; but
the city can release it, if it chooses to
do so.
The present practise. however pro-
tected by law, is clearly discrimina-
tory"

badly and was very weak. 1 could
not sleep and had no appetite. 1
had two doctors, and had taken so
many different medicines and found
no help, 1 thought 1 will have to
give up; but Mt last my mother read
about Peruna, so l thought of try
ing that great medicine Peruna. 1
got a bottle of it and in about four
days almost stopped coughing,
and after a while l surely found
relief. and from that time we are
not without Peruna in our home"
