ENDS TOMORROW
Matters of Interest in Connection With
the Woods and Streams

According to reports received by
Chief Game Warden Upton moose
have been seen in many places. Among
the towns in the state which have
been visited by these great animals of
the forest are two Somerset County
towns, Mercer and Canaan. Moose
have also visited Monmouth, Belgrade,
Wayne, Fayette, Mount Vernon, Au-
gusta, Somerville, Jefferson, Palermo,
Unity, Dresden, Waldoboro and Bris-
toll. The Department of Fish and
Game keep tabs on these big fellows
by a system of checking.
The guides are now laying in a
large stock of live bait for the win
ter fishing.
State Curator Tom James has one
tank filled with small bait fish, which
he feeds the other fish with.

bear was observed, strapped onto a
car. westward bound.
- Yellow and red tags are attached
to the deer carcass on out of state
automobiles. A bunch of birds also
bear the card showing they have been
inspected by the inspector and they
are o. X. The resident of the State,
carting game in this manner. will have
his game tagged with a green tag.
The big game hunting for deer and
birds ends the day after Thanksgiv-
ing, November 30th. The Commits
sioner makes arrangements for hand
ling of deer, killed in open season
and hard to get out until after the

around out of the swamps as the
weather gets colder. The hunting is
hard, it being so noisy in the woods.
A snow is what many hunters are
waiting for.
