heir of his rich grandmother. The
youth, knowing nothing of his con-

home of the ole lady, intent upon
plying his professional talents and is
informed by her of the relationship.
So far from welcoming the chance to
live in peace and security with the
girl of his love. he determines to
work out his own salvation. The

question. "What does your depart
ment most need?" He continued:
1--WE can employ only about so men
to cover the vast territory OF this
State. Do you realize that the State
of Maine comprises about $4,000
square miles, with about $1,000 Of it
land and 80 in lake, pond and river
surface, or about 22,400,000 acres. The
farms take about 5000 square miles.
Then think of ito cover this vast
territory we have but so wardens.
We need the cooperation Of the peo-
pie and a larger appropriation for the
protection of our fish and game.
"Our forests, mountains, lakes and
streams are responsible for bringing
to Maine an estimated 100000 summer
vacationists, hunters and fishermen
every year for our inland regions and
it is also estimated that they spend
$50, 100000 every year on these visits.
Think of the money spent in the
erection Of summer homes, camps and
cottages by these n-residents-at
least another $10,000,00O to pay taxes.
The real lure that brings these peo-
pie here again and again Is the
Maine woods, our magnificent scenery
and our fish and game. Are not they
worth better protection than they are
getting? I think so.
1.-THE department IS operating III
fish hatcheries, which planted in 1920
in the waters of Maine 3,666,936 FISH.
The constant yearly increase Of sum-
MGR visitors means that We must
greatly increase this output X we
wish to keep up the attractions for
these people.
THE fur bearing animals trapped
in Maine furnish an income or num-
dreds of thousands of dollars annual
" and furnish a large income to the
farmers and their sons in the organ
lied towns as well as to the licensed
trapper in the unorganized territory.
THE Legislative appropriation
amounts to only 100000 annually.
while the receipts Of the department
from license fees. fines, etc, returned
! to the State now amounts to s107, 900
annually.
1.-THE department wishes to assist
local fish and game associations,
sportsmen. clubs, etc. in the propa-
CATION and preservation of fish and

these lines.

furnishing information regarding the

road Company near Mattocks Station

death of five women, says:
The commission has viewed the

action or want of proper conduct on
the part of those charged with the
running of the train or of defective
apparatus or equipment.
The women who lost their lives
were Irma Hybert, Lizzie True. Edith
Howard, lola Small and Nettie Foss.
This calamity, which has robbed
these estimable women of their lives
and has brought enduring sorrow to
this .neighborhood, flashes an unmis-

warning to all of the need of caution

the view of a person upon the high
way as he looks easterly towards the

meat Of Holsters, Goldfish. pears. ap-
