Seasons Trapping Good.

Many of the local trappers report
that they have had g very successful
season of trapping, as game seems to
be very plentiful in these parts this
year. George North of Berlin street
reports that he has trapped five foxes,
which are priced at $3.50. He has OBJ
tanned q large number of muskrats
and as furs are sky-high there Is no
need of any Berlin farmer going TO
work If he owns a lot near a swamp
or brook. On the other hand, in the
Blue Hills district, muskrats are not
quite SO plentiful, but the trappers
there state that many skunks have
been trapped.

the bill itself was planned today, and

provision.
Adoption of the compromise legls-
lation came after today's debate, splr-
tied between champions and oppo'

marks of lack of interest including
vacant seats both on the floor and In
the galleries because the compromise
was regarded as insuring approval py
