The steamer which will carry Ken
nebec river passengers this summer
will doubtless be the Virginia, which
was purchased last fall by the Au-
gusta, Gardiner and Boothbay Steam
er company. The boat is a trim craft
and one that will insure high class
service for passengers. The boat will
certainly be used in the Kennebec
waters if her construction is proper
and the owners have every reason to
believe that such will be possible.
In order to insure fast boat such
as is needed on the long route, the
directors of the company are having
the Virginia overhauled at the plant
of Blaisdell, Leeman company, Bath.

innovation in Eastern waters, being

had been found to give the best re-
suits in torpedo boats. The stern is
of the type known as the V transom.

Plans are underway to organize d
basketball team in Belfast with one
professional and professional coach.
The other men will be local players
and there is material for a fast and
snappy team. There is no place in
Maine that will support a good bas-
ketball team more heartily than
Belfast but on the other hand not the
slightest interest can be aroused in
a mediocre team. This has, been
proven many times in years past. The
men who are behind this movement
have made arrangements to have the
games played in the Armory, the.
only hall in the city where the game
can be played to any advantage.
This is one of the largest basketball
floors in the State and it is expected
that when the new team is organized
some professional teams will be
booked as well as teams from the
surrounding towns and cities.
The following officers have been
elected for the ensuing year by the
Ladies' Circle of the Baptist church,:
Executive committee, Mrs Walter j..
Clifford, chairman, Mrs. George Ma
honey, Mrs. William Coombs; secre-
tary. Mrs. George c. Sauer; treasur-
er. Mrs. Fred Hosard; work commit
tee, Mrs. Henry J. Morris, Mrs. Her

Conference, part of which was joint
meeting with the Appalachian Club
members, at which was discussed the
subject of trails and improvements
that should be made and new trails
laid out and blaZed, connecting pres
ent trails and making one or more
trunk line trains from one end of the
State to the other, especially with
reference to the Appalachian range.
The New York meeting was the
National Convention of the American
Game Protective Association, the
greatest organization ofs-the kind in
the country. Every state in the
Union was represented. also the
Biological Bureau of Washington.
The greatest speakers in the country
on these subjects wereT there and
their ideas were worth hearing, said
Mr. Parsons.
"a great spirit of progress along
the lines of protecting and conserving
our fish and game was shown and
reports from all parts Of the country
show an advance in this work that
was something remarkable. Pennsyl-
vania. New York and other states are
spending great sums of money in
protecting and propagating fish and
game, showing that Maine, unless she
makes extraordinary efforts and very
soon. will be left far behind, in a
matter in which she has always be-
fore taken pride in being in the front
ranks of progress.
"New York alone is spending near
~ $1,000,000 a year on about one
fifth the territory as Maine. Pennsyl-
vania, Wisconsin, Michigan and 9TH
ers are doing likewise and even ad-
vertising why Go to Maine. When
You Have as Good Hunting Right at
Home?' The next Legislature will
have to make a larger appropriation
to provide for larger force of
wardens and a larger output of the
State fish hatcheries or we will be
way behind. The last Legislature
cut the fish and game appropriation
the same as the other departments
Ito keep down our taxation. | sin
cerely hope that the next Legislature
will not feel that it must do the same
but viii increase our appropriation by
at least $4,000.
"The commissioner feels very much
encouraged with the fish and game
conditions in Maine and with the
hearty cooperation being given him
by the citizens of our State, but he
also. firmly believes that something
must be done and done soon to save
the situation. New fish and game
associations are being formed
throughout the State and that is also
very encouraging, showing as it does
that our best citizens see the wisdom
of conserving the game conditions in
Maine.
zone noticeable point was brought
up at the New York meeting. Penn
| sylvania gives protection to the bears
and some sharp criticism was heard
of the Maine bounty on bruin. In
stead of trying to. get rid of them by
| indiscriminate slaughter, she gives
them game protection and makes a
feature of bear hunting in the open
season. Over 500 bears were shot, as
game, last year in that state.
