Tree Stump is Family Heirloom

Near the driveway on the grounds
of Frank Fl. Holley of North Arson
there stands a huge tree stump which
is known as family heirloom hay-
ing come from a whip.
The story goes back to the days be-
fore the old Patterson bridge between
North Arson and Madison was built
before there was even ferry of any
kind there crossing the river at that
noint, when the only way the traveller
would pass the Kennebec from the
North Arson shore to that of Madison
was by fording the river. The North
Arson section of the 'Kennebec river
was then in the same stage of set

was more comfortable riding horse

Game Laws For The Gunner

Every man, woman and child who
hunts and fishes should be taught to
know the reason back of every game
and fish law. A lack of understand
ing tends TO make yiolators. When
understood that game and fish laws
are passed with the object in mind of
preserving the animal and not to re-
strain people from exercising personal
liberty, such laws become more popu-
lar"
The above is a paragraph taken
from letter sent out by George N.
Manifold superintendent of Fish
cries and Game of the State of
INDIANA, Mr.. Manifold has stated
very clearly the point the American
Game Protective Association is con-
tinually driving home. Once you
convince the gunner that it is his own
interests to protect and care for the
game from which he derives his sport,
then your battle is half won.
1t is up to the sportsman to sec
that the game and fish are protected
He cannot expect men interested In
any other line of recreation to interest
themselves in caring for the fish and
game. The men who derives the
greatest benefit should surely be far
sighted enough to protect fish and
and game If only from selfish motives.

other parts of these ponds and
streams. At Tommy Gerard's old
camp on lower Enchanted pond;
beaver had their lodges on the shore,
as at Spencer. On the way out from
this pond to Berry's at West Forks,
through Il miles of wild land, prac-
tically every stream had beaver in
abundance, some of the large streams
having dams so to 100 feet in length
and flowing many acres of swamp
and no doubt affording a refuge for
many families. In this region there
must be hundreds of beaver families
Little Caribou and Pooler ponds,
neither of these over u acre in ex-
tent, had from one to three working
families.
In all ny trips to this region | have
never heard or seen any evidence of
trapping or killing. But on the con-
trary, the few inhabitants of this
country seem to take a deal of pride
in the fact that so many of these wise
fur bearers are SO friendly with them.
Only one case where they were dis
turbed-the back water of their dam
over stream caused such high water
in the trail, coming up to the sides of
the Horses, and an open trail being
necessary on account of wood lot
and hay field being on the further side
of the stream and the lay of the land
being such that the trail as existed
was the only feasible route back and
forth, the water was drawn down
several times by tearing down part of
the dam. 1t was rebuilt each time,
and finally late in the fall. when ice
formed on the pond, the horses re-
fused to make the trip through the ice
covered pond, then the dam was de-
stroyed by dynamite and not rebuilt
again that year. 1t was flooded again
last summer. Somewhere between

Notes from the Game Department

The inspectors on duty for the
Department of Inland Fisheries and
Game for the purpose of Identifying
automobile shipments of game both
by residents and non-residents are
constantly finding shipments which
are not tagged with the nonresident
hunters license tag, as the law re-
quires. A nonresident who is
shipping his game by automobile
must first tag the same with the
proper eyeletted coupons from his
hunting license; then he should go to
the first game inspector he can reach
on rout to his home and identify same
and have the proper automobile iden-
LITIGATION tags attached in addition to
the hunting license tags. The auto
mobile inspector is directed to then
detach the duplicate coupons from the
hunting license and return them to
this office with stubs of the automobile
Identification tags.
RESIDENTS TAKING DEER OUT
OF STATE
The Department of Inland Fish
cries and Game has received several
resquests lately for explanation of the
law relating to resident taking deer
out OF the state In each case. the
Department carefully explains that
section Al of the Inland Fish and
Game laws provides that no resident
OF Maine shall at any time carry or
transport in any manner beyond the
limits of this State any deer or part
thereof The law also provides that
no deer or part thereof shall be sold
or given away. purchased or accept
ed as gift, to be taken by anyone
outside of Maine. The penalty for
violation of these laws is very severe
not less than $50 nor more than
500 and costs for each offence.
