Fish & Game Dept. Investi-
eating Oil in Merrymeeting

The department of Inland Fisheries
and Game recently received Informal
ton that steamer lying at certain
dock at Bath had pumped into the
waters of the kcnnebec at that
point a large quantity of crude
refuse fuel oil. 1t is stated by
eye witnesses that the food tide
carried that oil up to Merrymeet
ing bay and that in consequence there
of several acres of thatch grass was
completely covered with the oil. The
sportsmen in that vicinity and those
who frequent it are deeply concerned
over the situation, fearing it may in
jure the bay seriously as a breeding
ground and feeding place for ducks.
The commissioner Immediately
started investig cation and has received
from one of his wardens in that sec
ton a bundle of so-callcd thatch or
marsh grass. showing the havoc
wrought to the feeding grounds for
ducks in various parts Of the bay by
this refuse Oil. Thomas a. James,
curator of the museum, has photo
graphed this grass. He said:
The grass appears at first sight to
have been dipped in coal tar. but upon
close investigation it proves to be
even worse, as the Gil with which il is
covered does not dry and will evident
ly remain sticky for several weeks at
least and woe to the bird that alights
among it. When a bird once gets its
feathers covered with the grease, it
means sure death, as it VIII soon

backs and their rifles they set off
Thursday forenoon and travelled
about three miles over the road.
During the day they were given in
structlons in all kinds of open order
work, such as forming a line of
skIrmishers, making an attack, estab-
Hshlng outposts, patrolling and the
Hke. The conditions of war were
simulated as much as possible. Then
at night the men turned in under
their pup tents to sleep if they could.
Mess was furnished from regular
reid ranges, so that the day and
night in camp approached actual
field conditions.
1t was decided at the last moment
to have tho first Battalion accom-
pany the second and as a result, the
proceedings in the field were of a
spectacular nature for a sham bat

second Battalions. Every warlike
condition was carried out and for a
while the fight waged hotly over the

when the men break camp. Just
what hour is not certain, but it may
be as early as O clock. The men are
TO board two special trains for the
run to Portland where they will pa
rade in the forenoon. After that they
will return to their home stations.

George H. Cooper, mess sergeant of

what comes up he has always had an
excuse. Capt. Milford G. Chapman,
supply officer of the regiment. is very

inspections of the kitchens and es-
pecially of the garbage cans to see if
any of the food is being wasted.
IT was only day or so ago when he
called at the quarters of Co. F.

met him. The supply officer looked
at the garbage barrel and remarked /:

Just then another man of the com
pany appeared behind Cooper with a
huge dixie" loaded with potato that
had not been eaten. At least, it
looked huge when the sergeant saw
it looming up. The bearer of the
burden saw Capt. Chapman and dis
creetly held off. Neither Cooper nor
the member of the kitchen police
thought the supply officer saw the
waste, and they nearly tainted when
he said:

Cook and Sergt. Porter. The rifle
men are Lieut.. Cook, Sergt. Porler
and Private Ham.
The 15-days tour of duty of the sra
Maine have been wonderfully sue
cessful ones, but this success has
been due. in no small measure to the
efficient work of the Maine Quarter
master Corps who have handled the
trucks, motorcycles and touring cars.
Ready at any hour of the day or
night to do their work, they have
done it without a murmur. No better
example of what has been required
of them can be mentioned than what
! the truck drivers have done. Prac-
tically every day some battalion has
been on the rifle range. To make the
practice work successful it has been
necessary to have the pit detail,
those in charge of the targets, arrive
early on the scene. Loaded into
huge five ton truck. they have start
ed off as early as $50 in the morning.
They have been brought back as late
as 9 o'clock at night That's been
better than a 14-hour day for the
truck drivers. They have not stayed
at the range during the shooting, but
have returned to the camp and kept
busy moving supplies. Hard work is
said to be agreeable and it must be in
this case, for all the drivers have
been getting fat on the job.
Equally efficient have been the
drivers of the motorcycles, the quick
service and go-and get-there part OF
the transportation system. They
were indispensable when the military
police were put on. They have been
invaluable in doing rush errands to
the nearby cities and even to Boston.
Not always have their hours been as
long as those of the truck drivers,
but l. hours a day has been fair
average for them.
Tuesday was day of rest for the
members of the second Battalion, but
judging by the way some of them put
in their time. they did more work
than on working days. Ohicers and
men alike, so far as they chose. quit
camp and a good delegation visited
the theatres in Boston or went TO Re-
we're beach.
Paving of the members of the
Maine National Guard began Thurs
day. The money for this. more than
$50, 900, was brought from Fitchburs,
because the banks in Aver reported
they were too busy to bother with
it," Major Charles f. Davis, United
States property and Gisbursing Off
Ger for the state of Maine. had charge
of the proceeding. In bringing the
money from the neighboring town, an
armed guard of the biggest line Off
GERS in the regiment were selected to
