bins, resident of Estes Park. who
mas carried it up to the court of ap-
peais after an adverse decision in
the lower court in Colorado.
The brief to be filed in behalf of
Mr. Robbins tomorrow sets I'D the
contention that the roads in the
Rocky Mountain National Park are
public roads and that the right TO
use these roads for either business
or pleasure is common right.
The brief argues in behalf of Mr..
Robbins that a monopolistjc trans
portation concession in this park
abrogates the road rights of indi-
Nlduals and the pubic. MonopoIies
are odiouS in law, it is urged. and
when they are claimed it is required
that express and indubitable author
ltE be shown for their creation. No
authority. it is declared, is conferred
either expressly or by implication
upon the park officials.
The brief further holds that tn,
prohibition of all carriers except the
monopoly carriers affects the valu-
Of privately owned land and gives
over municipality owned roads to y
monopoly, contrary to the terms OF
tie act creating the park which pro-
Nlded that no lands located within
the park boundaries now held in mr.
Nate. municipal or state ownership
shall be affected by or subject to the
provisions of this act"
The brief further quotes the act
creating the park as providing that
the public have the 'freest use" of
the park and that the park also have
reasonable rules and regulations
not inconsistent with the laws of the
United States" These three definite
reservations, it is declared. have been
violated through monopolization of
transportation

Corporation Fees for 1920

The corporation business of the
lions little thought of when the bust
ness was first started. The total re-
ceipts for the year in the two de-
partments through which the corpor-
ations pass during the process OF Or
ganiZation, were sS5,l09.97. This was
divided into 1910 for the office of the
attorney general, where the articles
of Incorporation are approved, $751;
1897, where the corporations are
finally recorded, changes issued and
recorded and various other corpora
ton business transacted.
The attorney generals office re-
ceived S2375 for the approval fees,
1895 from corporations excused from
paying taxes and filing returns. hav-
ing ceased to use their franchises.
The secretary of States office re-
ceived S33,135 from new corpora
tons: $i4.S70 from changes Of COR
porations; S1765.29 from certified
copies of corporations; $359.6S from
miscellaneous: and $12lU from for
cign corporations.
The Office of the secretary OF State
also receives the fees from all trade
marks registered and from the Ii
censes for itinerant vendors. These
are Of course not any part of the cor
poration business, but are merely
added here to show the small extent
of that business. Trade marks in
1920 paid in fees to the State OF
Maine $50; itinerant vendors paid
in fees 500; total, $3.50. Before the
present stringent laws regarding the
itinerant vendors in Maine went INTO
effect, the fees from that source We're
much larger in amount for u year.

The School Improvement
League Of Names Work

one OF the most active and worth
Willie school organizations in the
otate Is the society known as tbe
School improvement League of
Maine. rounded in 1898 by the late
w. W. Stetson, then State superin-
.ehdeht OF schools, it's growth has
oeeh constant and active to such an
extent that, in a survey of rural
schooI activities made by the State
department of Education at the close
OF the school year if was found thot
there were $40 active school improve
ileht leagues. With the beginning of
the 1ail term, this number became
greatly increased
AT the present time the School I'm,
provement League as a State organi-
cation is enjoying PERHAPS the great
est prosperity in it's history. For
years the children of the State who
are members of this organization
have worn badges of membership in
the shape of little buttons bearing tho
;. l. J.. NJ. monogram. Early tho
past fall the supply on hand at The
state office became exhausted II
seemed wise to Miss Florence AZ
Hale, the State secretary, at this
Tune to change the design of the hut
ton to one which should be more
typical of Maine at the present time.
The services of Glenn w. Starlle>-
deputy state superintendent of
schools, whose designs for the State
teachers Association badges re-
celved much favorable comment
were enlisted and with his as
slstaRce an attractive new badge is
now ready for distribution. This

tree are the words Maine School

Fishways in the Rivers
And Streams of Maine

Willis r. Parsons OF FoXcroft, COM
missioner Of inland fisheries ana
came, said Tuesday that considerable
progress was made during the past
year in the construction OF fishWays
and the majority of them have been
built of cement.
Repairs have been made on fish
ways on the Penobscot and st. CroiX
rivers and some smaller streams,
while the Piscataquis river. and
Sourdabscook tributaries to the
Penobscot, and Sebec River, tributa-
ry to the Piscataquis, have had new
hshways," said Commissioner Par
SONS.
Last season a large double cement
1ishway was erected at HoWland
across the mouth of the Piscataquis
river, and this year is being strength
cned and made more permanent by
being attached TO cement dam. This
fishway allows free passage OF fish to
East Dover. two miles below Dover
village, where the idle dam of the
Central Maine Power Company is to
he opened to allow the fish to pass
through that obstruction.
AT Dover and Foxcroft are two
dams of the American Woolen Com
pany, and a first class cement fish
way has been erected the past sea
son over each dam. There are no
better ones in the State.
migratory fish, going up stream,
travel in the main current by instinct
and hang sometimes for weeks in the
quick water below the dam, looking
for chance TO so by, hence the
mouth or entrance to the fishway
should be as near the quick water as
possible
The Dover Dam is % feet high,

"t'oXcroft Dam is not as high and,
while the fish would have undoubted-
ly passed through a single fishway,
the entrance IL SO much nearer the
dam and right in the quick water at
the mouth of the log sluicc, that it is
much more readily found by the fish
and takes less water TO run it than
where enough water has to be sluiced
through to make white water at the
entrance.
AT the dam OF the Dover and Fox

way has been built in the ledge by
making one or two cement pockets
where it connects With the darn
AT the Guilford Dam another first

CHAPTER v.
I Learn the Language.


AS I reached the doorway of our
building a strange surprise awaited
me. A warrior approached bearing
the arms, ornaments and full accou-
terments of his kind These he pre-
sented to me with few unintelligible
words and a bearing at once respect
full and menacing.
Later Sofa, with the aid of several
Of the other women, remodeled the
trappings to fit my lesser proportions,
and after they completed the work
went about CARRIED in all the panoply
Of war.
The training of myself and the
young Martians was conducted solely
by the women, who not only attend
to the education of the young in the
arts of individual defense and offense,
but are also the artisans who produce
every manufactured article wrought
by the green Martians. In time of
actual warfare they form a part of
the reserves, and when the necessity
arises fight with even greater intel
ligence and ferocity than the men.
The men are trained in the higher
branches of the art of war; in STRAIT
egg and the maneuvering of large
bodies of troops. They make the laws
as they are needed; a new law for
each emergency. Customs have been
handed down by ages of repetition,
but the punishment for ignoring a Gus
tom is matter for individual treat
ment by jury Of the culprit's peers,
and I may say that justice seldom
misses fire, but seems rather to rule
in inverse ratio to the ascendency of
law. In one respect at least the Mar
tians are happy people; they have
no lawyers.
did not see the prisoner again for
several days subsequent to our first en-
counter, and then only to catch fleet
ing glimpse of her as she was being
conducted to the great audience cham
Der where had had my first meeting
with Lorquas Ptomel.
I had observed on the two occasions
when had seen her that the prisoner
exchanged words with her guards, and
this convinced me that they spoke, or
at least could make themselves un-
derstood by common language. With
this added incentive I nearly drove

She was as destitute of clothes as
the green Martians who accompanied
her; indeed, save for her highly
wrought ornaments she was entirely
naked, nor could any apparel have
enhanced the beauty of her perfect
and symmetrical figure.
AS her gaze rested on me her eyes
opened wide in establishment and she
made little sign with her free hand !;
sign which did not, of course, I'M
derStand. Just moment we gazed
upon each other, and then the look
of hope and renewed courage which
had glorified her face as she discov-
cred me, faded into one Of utter dejec-
ton, mingled with loathing and con-
tempt. l realized I had not answered
her signal, and ignorant as I was Of
Marian customs, I intuitively felt that
she had made an appeal for succor and
protection which my unfortunate ignor-
ance had prevented me from answer
ing. And then she was dragged out
of my sight into the depths of the
deserted edifice.
