that he found himself in possession
of several million rubles.
Again he bought sugar. but this

because meanwhile the price of this
commodity had considerably in

fortune reached hundreds of millions
of rubles. This he once more in

out Maine. Saturday and Sunday,
sportsmen in all sections were hope
full that the closed time on game, de-
clared by the Governors proclama-

the Governors attitude in the mat
ter. believe that If rain has fallen in
any quantity throughout the state
and the fire situation is under con-
troll, Governor Baxter, will on Mon
day issue the proclamation revoking
the closed time. Such prociama-
ton il issued would be effective I'M
