REAL FISHING
FOR CITY BOYS

Adjutant General George Mel. Pres
son of Pennington has as his guests
two sons Of his old friend, Colonel
Samuel T. Ansell of Washington, who
is said to be one of the best military
lawyers in the United States and is
connected with the judge advocates
department at Washington. The lads
arc Tracy, aged IL, and Samuel T., Jr.,
aged years, and the general said they
rad not been with him more than three
minutes before they demonstrated that
they We're genuine live wires. They
came on alone from Washington, being
met at the train last Saturday by Gen.
Presson and taken by auto to his home
in Pennington.
The first thing they requested was
fishing trip. so the general started
them for Records camps at Cara
bassett and on arrival asked for lad
about their age to show them a good
fishing place and for the sport he knew
it would be, followed on. though keep
ing out Of sight. The sport arrived as
Per schedule. The boys had never
caught a trout. Their hope was to
catch some real fish, some good to
eat"
ltii NouH- Sultc hileN Ills buSlH6SS
and from the first hole in Houstons
stream into which the lads cast bait
ed hook, came a handsome trout, then
another and before the fishing hour
was up, the boys had landed some 12
Is or more nice ones. They had also
acquired other things that go with a
city boys first fishing trip.
The general was more than amused
at hearing a loud boyish yell and see
ing one of the lads rushing headlong
through the stream. regardless of
shoes, stockings or clothes, to get to
his brother. who was having good luck
in a certain fishing hole. Again, one of
them misstepped and went headlong
into the water. Mosquitoes, as large
and as plentiful as ever New Jersey
boosted, got in their work throughout
the afternoon, but not a whimper nor
ould they think of applying any lotion
or salve.
Back to the house after a strenuous
trip. the lads were about as tired a
couple as could be imagined. Supper
was spurned and the bed sought be-
fore twas dark, but not before one of
| the lads had remarked: MY, that was
real fishing, wasn't it?"
| In the morning visit to the inter
vale disclosed to them an unwonted
scene and nothing would do but some
headlong PUSHES and rollngs over and
ever in the grass, until one exclaimed:
I'D rather live here than any place 1
ever saw" And the lad had seen a
large-sized part of the world in his
travels with his parents. They will be
Gen. Presson's guests for three or four
weeks.
Friends of Colonel Ansell will recall
that he was the first instructor inspec-
tor that Maine ever had. being sta
toned here when a captain and also
established about 1859 the first of
fcers school in the United States, it be-
! Ing very successful and the plan be-
ing followed and continued throughout

Adequate Protection
Steamboat Gangways

The Public Utilities Commission
Tuesday sent out a letter to all owners
Of steamboats, in the State urging
them to make adequate protection Tor
their gangways.
During last summer" says the
communication. "a child fell overheard
from one of the steamboats, operated
in this state and was drowned.
"Subsequent investigation developed
that the gangway was protected only
with chain We recommended that
all the gangways on that boat be pro-
yided with guard rails extending from
the TOP of the rail to point few
inches from the deck. The company
was very willing to make the change
III the interests of safety.
I'VE find on investigation that many
of the other boats operated in this
state have no adequate protection for
their gangways, and we feel that this
should be provided. We are sure that
no formal order will be necessary to
compel the companies to make the
charges, SO we are sending you this
letter with a request that you will let
us know at once whether you will pro-
vide your boats with the type of guard
rail above indicator"

pCpllc utility as a Wharnnser at Sc
booniook has filed a schedule OF rates
which are excessive.
The Complaint.
The complaint Of the Coburn steam
boat Company is as follows:
We would call your attention to new
rates filed by NJ. P. Goliath. Seboom-
ook, Maine, effective Augusta 18th.
1917, Calling for charge Of 80 cents
per vessel, per landing and bills to be
rendered and paid it at the end Of each
season. The rates we believe to be
excessive and conditions imposed I'M
Just, for the following reasons:
I'VE are paying at other places
where a similar business is done the
sum of $50 per season, and at no place
on the lake are we paying a charge
that would equal the one Mr.. Goliath
proposes to make of at least 50 per
cent, and these places where we are
paying more than the original charge
made by Mr.. Goliath have certain
reasons for making them which we
would be glad to place before your
honorable body for consideration. The
charge in past years has been made OF
$50 PEI season regardless of the num-
Der of landings, whereas the rate filed
by Mr. Goliath will oblige US to pay at
least $500 per season.

business.
we object to bills being rendered
at the close Of the season instead q

ence Of keeping a record and checking

Another reminder of the seriousness
Of the situation and the fact that we
are at war was given Tuesday, through
the receipt by Governor Milliken Of
telegram from Provost Marshal Gener
al Crowder stating that no one would
be allowed to escape his duty as
member of the exemption boards any
more than a drafted man will be al
lowed to avoid his responsibility in
that line. The telegram follows:
Please send the following ruling TO
local boards: Ample time and oppor-
tunity has now been allowed TO per-
sons designated as members Of local
boards to present any reasons they
may have for not serving as such. 1t
is indispensable that the personnel or
these boards be permanent. By Section
Of the SeiectIve Service law persons
designated to perform this service are
as erectually drafted for this duty as
are the registrants who are to be Sc
lected for military service. In the fu-
ture members Of local boards VIM De
excused from performing this service
only for the most urgent reasons, ap-
proved by the Governor Of their state.
II is requested that the Governor
closely scrutinize each case presented
. to him and that he recommend the eX-
cuse Of members of local boards only
in the cases of great hardship. Unless
the Governor believes that the excuse
presented is valid, substantial and con-
trolling, the attention Of the person
should be directed to Section 6 Of the
Law. and in case of further refusal TO
serve the case should be reported to
the nearest representative Of the fed
raj apartment Of justice. These in
struct.ons do not apply, Of course, to
members of boards who are to be re-
moved under instructions from the
War 0enartmert."

tanned in. the circular it may be SAID
that because of the fact that the law
did not become effective until July 8
and because no effort at advertising
was made it is not expected that the
work of the registration department
will be especially heavy this year but
experience in other states has shown
that teachers are quick to appreciate
the advantage of such an agency
which, while it does not in any way
guarantee positions to those regis
tered, yet it offers service for nomi-
nal sum and without commission
charges. 1t is safe to assume that
within a few years this department
will prove one of the busiest of those
over which the State superintendent OF
schools has jurisdiction.

THE STATE PAYS,
AUBURN SMILES

Someone over in Auburn was smart
enough 70 put one across" when the
law for the creation of the Auburn
Sewerage District and transferring to
!. the sewerage system of the city of
Auburn, as the story is now told about
the corridors of the State House.
It was plainly shown that the scheme
was a good one and the measure went
along as smoothly as could be asked
in fact SO smoothly that part or the
bill as drafted and passed was not
scrutinized as closely as usual ana
thereby hangs the story.
The bill contains IS sections, all OF
them bearing on points Of the matter
in hand. Section II has the joker and
if YOU read it closely YOU will discover
II without much exertion. 1t is as fol-
lows:
Section II. This act shall take ef-
feet upon being approved by a major
ity of all legal voters Of the city OF
Auburn, voting at the special state
election in the month of September,
1917 A special ballot for the above
purpose shall be prepared and submit
ted to the voterAof the city of Auburn
by the secretary of State, setting out
the purpose and scope of this act
There you have ibid you see it?
Well, it is said that the State is made
to father the expense of providing the
ballots for this, a purely municipal af-
fair, an entirely unusual proceeding,
and that is why those who are know
ing to it are quietly laughing and adj
miring the foresight and ingenuity Of
someone over in Auburn who put that
sentence in Section II of the bill.
