Fish and Game

The Maine Inland Fisheries and
Game department is much interested
in the seizure last Tuesday at the
North station in Boston Of a large
amount Of game Illegally transport
ed into that city, having a strong
suspicion that some of the Illicit
traffic may have come from Maine
parties. Interest also centers in the
case because of the fact that Fed
eral Game Warden Albert Stadimier
Of New York, who with Deputy Com
missioners Fred w. Goodwin and
Carl E. Grant Of Massachusetts,
worked up the case, was concerned
in Maine fish and game affairs to the
extent of causing one Washington
county party to pay a $1,000 fine to
the United States and $500 fine to
the State Of Maine. beside working
up some of the illegal trapping OF
beaver that had been going on.
Developments will be carefully
watched, to see if the Maine parties
thought of in connection with the

ADJUSTMENTS
ANOTHER STRONG

days of this week at the Augusta
Opera house. 1t is called won by
Waiting and in it, the hero has to
ry. but she is decidedly worth watt
ing for.
But there Is more to the piece than
this. It Is a rural melodrama with
plenty Of good wholesome comedy
that cannot fail to make it's impress
sion on the hundreds Of people who
will want to see it. The plot centers
around Andy Marco. who is the apple
Of his parents eyes. They feel that
there is really nothing too good for
him. SO when Amy Douglass, the
daughter Of old Hiram Marcos boy
hood friend comes along, he falls in
love with her and she forms an at
tachment for him. But Col. Douglass
has other designs for his daughter.
He thinks he has outgrown all that is
rural and allows that no daughter of

Gaskill. his private secretary. who
has his eyes on the girl not for her
alone. but for the money the colonel
possesses.
From this beginning, there devel-
opes a very pretty struggle on the
part Of the two men to win the hand
OF the fair Amy. Gaskill doesn't play
fair and things dire begin to happen
until it looks as II the Colonel were
to lose every thing he possesses in
the world. including his daughter.
How this Is prevented is the denou-
ment OF the play, and 1t is an ending
that cannot fail to be satisfying to
everyone. All the members Of the
Luttringer Stock Co. win be found to
have congenial roles and the play will
be presented with an attention to de-

Shortage OF Freight Cars

1t becomes more and more apparent
that there is going to be serious

A bulletin received today by the

car loading is increasing at the rate
of from 1000 to 5000 day. and that
the scarcity of cars is due largely to
the fact that shippers are not loading
to capacity. 1t is estimated that in
the past months there have been 760,

of this, and it is suggested that cam
