BETTER NOT To MODEST.
YOUNG DEER
Mother Likely 10 Return 10 Offspring
Say the Department OF Inland
Fisheries and Game

The Department of Inland Fisheries
and Game, within the past two weeks,
has received quite number OF re-
quests from parties who have found
young deer, which appear to have
been abandoned for some reason or
other. In a few instances. 1t has
been learned that the mother of the
deer undoubtedly became separated
from It's young, or lost its life in the
extensive forest fires of late, in which
cases 1t was humane act to res
cue the little, weak creature; but In
the majority of cases 1t would appear
that II the little fawn had not been
disturbed-had not been handled by
a human being-the mother would
have returned to it. Therefore, the
Department is calling the attention
of the public to the desirability Of
not molesting in any way any young
deer which may appear to have been
abandoned by its mother, unless the
finder knows that the mother has been
killed. II the deer is not handled
and II after reasonable time the mo-
Their does not return, a person might
be justified in caring for the young
animal: but in the majority of cases,
II the young fawns are not touched
by person, the mother will return
and care for her young.

Camping out with q Fliyyer

The fast growing sport Is taking the
place OF the pack and canoe, for the
very reason that all members of the
family may join in 1t, and no person
Is too old or too young to take along.
And with the compact outfits that can
be purchased at any sporting goods
store, bulky outfits are no longer
needed.
The party consisted of two ladies
and two gentlemen. They were met
at Kineo Station upon their arrival
by boat up the lake from Greenville,
by their guides. Driving to 1.-THE
FRS" some three miles from the sta
ton, they changed their city clothes
and spent the night. After eating a
hearty breakfast, the FLYER was load
ed up and with many wishes of good
luck they were off. Driving out onto
the Great Northern road Zone of the
finest in the state) they pointed the
car toward the north
The first nights stop was made at
Kings High Landing. After the tents
were set up and while the guides were
cooking supper, the party went down
on the fill and caught five beautiful
trout, the largest being 2h pounds.
Returning to the camp they had their
first meal in the open and turned in
for the night on sweet smelling fir
balsam. Daylight came only too
soon. After a plunge in the river,
breakfast of fruit, trout and bacon.
The ladies in the party had said the
day before that they had very small

so that morning after he had finished
cooking flapjacks for them.
Canoes were rented from Roscoe
Emery and the party set off down the
West Branch and spent the day fish
ing at CULVER Brook, with good re-
suits, On the return trip up the
river, seven deer and fox were seen.
The next day they moved camp to
the mouth of the Foley Pond road,
the balance of that day they spent
In fishing Lane Brook. Early the
next morning found them on the trail
to Foley Pond, and after an hours
walk they came to this beautiful sheet
of water where they spent the day.
The trout in Foley Pond cannot be
beaten for their eating qualities or
their numbers.
Two weeks were spent in this way,
during which time Dole, Lane, Lost,
Elm, Long and Russell ponds were Wis
tied, not forgetting the climb up to
the Green Mountain fire station, where
a wonderful view can be had of this
unbroken wilderness, dotted with the
many ponds.
The trip was over all too soon. and
they voted that it could not be beat
en-. They had caught all the trout
they cared to eat, and seen over one
hundred fifty deer in their wild state,
twenty-five foxes, a bob-cat and a
bear, and souvenirs had been collect
ed from the back of porcupine.
When the returned to "The FRS"
instead of pale-faced people as upon
their arrival, they had been transform
ed into sunburned, happy athletes.
The next morning they took the boat
down the lake, to return to the city,
to exchange bough beds for microge
mattresses, the guides plain, out
door cooking for dyspeptic combina-
lions, three square meals for no ap-
petite, pure air for sewer gas, health
and happiness for work and worry and
the fishing rod for the pen.
What a blessing that there are spots
on this earth where one may regain
their health, without which, life would
not be worth living.

Forest Warden Tells OF Finding Dana
W. Bean

The following communication has
been received from A. j. Dunphy, dep
uty Forest Warden. of Highland
is North New Portland. In it he
explains the finding of the body of
Dana w. Bean and expresses certain
views. He says:
The body of Dana Bean who has
been missing since June 8th was
found near Barker Brook Saturday at
four o'clock by R, c. Dillon. Nothing
could be done that night. but a crew
accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Cook
and Deputy Sheriff Crocker went to
the remains. After building bridges
and repairing the road they were able
to get horses and a sled to within one
half mile of the remains, this being
one Of the worst places as there was
nothing but beaver runs and swamps.
1t seemed that Mr.. Bean after find
ing himself lost ran through the
woods until he became overheated,
and near the place where the body
was found was a beaver run which
was about three feet deep and at that
time was probably full of water His
steel fishing rod lay there stuck in
the side of the bank. Searchers
think after Bean had become heated
he fell into the water and after the
rain, it being cold, he must have died
of exposure as they say they don't
think he ever got onto his feet after
that, as there was a large place where
he had apparently moved about. We
think 1t was very wrong for the peo-
pie who circulated the unkind re-
marks about Mr.. Howes, as Mr. and
Mrs. Howes gave Mr. Bean a home
and he was considered one of the
family and used accordingly. Some
others did not aid in the search to
relieve those who had travelled the
woods and hunted since the Sunday
after his disappearance who were
tired, nervous and footsore. We have
boys who go into that valley fishing
who might be unfortunate and get
lost and need help. We should feel
very hard toward people who would
not aid in the search. We feel very
sorry for Mr.. and Mrs. Howes. also
for l.. +. Howes, who is here from
Newfoundland to aid in the search
of the lost relative Sheriff Mooers,
DIR. Sawyer and County Attorney j..
II. Thorne were at Mr.. IIowes', having
arrived about as soon as the remains
did The remains were taken to
Bingham for burial that night Fun
eral services were held Sunday at two
o'clock.

Governor and Indian OF Big Woods
Converse

Not long since the Reporter pub
lished an article telling something of
notable Indian, Louis Annance of
the Big Woods. The following In
teresting anecdote is furnished us by
the Director of the Bureau of Histori-
cal Research at the Maine State Lib
rary:
The following anecdote, illustrat-
ing the genial, kindly quality of a
noble mind, is told of Governor Hub
bard: in the early fifties, Louis An
mace, chief of the st. Francis tribe of
Indians, came to Maine with his fam
lily and resided there during the re-
mainder of his life. He gave as a
reason for leaving his tribe that they
had practically left their identity as
tribe of North American Indians,
the lineage of which he himself was
truly proud. He said that they had
so mixed with the Canadian French
that it was impossible to tell where
the Indian left off and the French
began.
Louis Annance was a true tyne
of the North American Indian. He
was tall, straight, broad-shouldered,
copper-colored, high cheekboned,
athletic in his general makeup. He
was educated and graduated at
Dartmouth College, according to a
treaty once made between the Eng
lish government and the St Francis
tribe He spoke pure English. He
was great reader and an easy
speaker. Although he lived in the
solitude of the wilderness, nearly all
i the time, he kept himself well up on
current events of the times. He could
sit down with an educated person
and converse with him on almost any
subject. He was gentlemanly in his
appearance, a member of the Con-
gregational church and a Free Mason.
"In the summer of 1852, DR.. John
Hubbard, then Governor of Maine
made tour through northern Maine
with his two sons, twelve and four
teen years of age. They went to
Greenville across the lake to North
east Carry, and down the West
Branch of the Penobscot river to
Katahdin Mountain. At the North
| east Carry he met his old college
classmate, Louis Annance, for the
