Attractions OF Dead River Region

The state of Maine has rightly been
called the play ground of the Union,
so we liken the Dead River region
the play ground of the State Here
may be found all the different kinds
OF play. We have everything the
play seekers want, fisherman, Yaca-
.tionest, sight seers. and so on
Mountain views-we have the best as
we have large area of woods and
natural scenery. Canoeing down the
Dead River is a good trip Starting
from Flagstaff we have miles of dead
water. Then we come to HURRICANE
falls. Fourteen miles more of dead
water brings us to long falls, here we
find one mile of rapid water to rapid
for the canoe. Six miles more of
dead water brings us to Dead River
dam and one fourth of a mile below
the dam we find Grand falls, drop
here of so feet. a most beautiful view.
At the different falls trout and salmon
may be taken for eating each meal.
As we go a long, there is also plenty
of pickeral. We have in the Dead
River region any kind of fishing the
sportsman may want. At Tim Pond
trout may be taken any day of the
season. on fly and as many as party
cares to catch. Round Mountain is
about the same. Other ponds where
the fish are larger we don't catch so
many. West Carry Lake for trout,

Justice Due All Living Creatures
Contributed

(contributed1
Madison, Maine, April 16. 1923
Editor, Big Woods Page,
Skowhegan, Maine.
Dear Sir:
Not that my views are more correct
than Mr.. w II. Maynard. Mr.. II. p.
Jones or any other hunter or trapper
who have expounded arguments in
your columns, yet l think l am correct
in taking the stand that Justice is due
all living creatures.
These old trappers seem terribly
wrought over the. fact that Lynx, Bear
etc, are destroying the Deer. They
advocate to kill the bob-cat and pro-
tect the deer till next fall SO that
they (man) can do the killing, for
SPORT We know that animals follow
the old law, 1.-THE survival of the
fittest" and in the case of bob-cat
Staying deer it is only means of sus-
tanning their (bob-cat's) life.
Man Is not directly dependent upon
the animal kingdom for food. His
superior civilization( and some peo-
pie are not out of the state of
savagery yeti enl;ghtens him to this
IdCL. liel elOIe WHY oHOulu uc SCth
to kill for sport? Pretty poor sport
l say.
Now. as for bounty on bobcats etc,
I think it is unnecessary as we'll as
ON any other wild creature. What is
needed more than aught else are laws
so enforced that man. himself will
lose his own life or serve life i'm
prisonment for the heartless slaugh-
ter of dumb beasts for sport during
the open season" Of the year.
TO further support my views | wish
to add that any man who processes a
belief in a just God should analize
his possibilities of receiving Justice
at Judgement. when he unnecessarily
violates the one fundamental law of
mans dominion: Thou shalt not
knit"

W. VI. Ellis Speaks Thru the Press

Mr.. Editor:
VIII you give a space In your paper
for the benefit of the town sharks OF
the small towns? There seems TO
be d sentiment that the town sharks
receive a salary for their work and
they are Obliged to record all docu
ments and return them. when it is not
so, while perhaps some towns pay
a set amount for doing the town
business. Those who have legal
documents TO record and those who
ask for copies Of records should send
pay and return postage The records
of the small towns are not indeed
and when you want record you have
TO hunt until you find it. The infor-
nation you receive from some are
very small. some ask for certified
copies and all the small towns do not
have Justice OF the Peace and it Is
some trouble to get one. II those
that have business with the town
clerk would realize the above facts
they would get prompter and more
satisfactory returns.
Yours respectfully
WILLIE NJ. ELLIS
Town Clerk of Smithfeld

Arson Boy Sees Deer

One evening recently little George
Hoyt who was playing in the door
yard rushed in and excitedly told his
mother that there was big deer
right up there in the road. As the deer
was gone when the family got out
doors Mr.. Hoyt thought George had
been mistaken and went to looking
for the tracks which he was surprised
to find The deer had crossed the
road going into the woods on the
north side Judging by the softness
of the snow and the size of the track
Mr.. Hoyt concluded it was an unus-
uaIly large animal but extremely thin
and poor.

freight and excise tax.

HEROISM OF GEORGIA GIRL
SAVES CHINESE CHILDREN In
MISSION SCHOOL AT CANTON
Miss AIveda Gum, of Craw-

en- Troops, but Victorious
Sun Soldiers Loot Hospital
BY JUNIUS b. WOOD

Especial Cable to The Atlanta Journal AMI
Chicago Daily News-Copyright, 1921
CANTON, May 25.-The first vivid
account of how Miss Alvada Gum,
of Crawfordville, Ga, in charge of the
American Southern Baptist conven-
ton school at Shiu Hing, defended
the lives of 100 of her girl pupils and
an equal number of Chinese refu-
gees, when that place was cap
tured last onday> by Kwangtung
troops, reached Canton today.
When an exploding mine opened
a breach in the wall surrounding
Shiu Hing, terrified Kwangsi sol
diers, including one general, climbed
the walls of the mission compound.
seeking the protection of the
American flag. The frightened gen
eral offered to make a 100000 con-
tribution to the mission in return
for the protection of Miss Gum. In
stead she evicted him bodily and
finally managed to push out the
other Kwangsi soldiers who, were
seeking refuge.
Pursuing Kwangtung soldiers who
followed the Kwangsi troops in
vaded the compound and threatened
to bayonet Miss Gum when she
tried to evict them from the
premises. They then looted the
place.
Americans and Chinese are all
the same now, declared the Kwang-
tung soldiers who are part of. DR..
Sun Vat Sens forces, as they
smashed trunks and boxes, broke
windows and doors and took all the
available bedding and clothing of
Miss Gums pupils and other
Chinese refugees.
General Ngai Pong Ping, in COM
mand of DR.. Suns victorious troops,
later called at the mission, express
ing regret for the looting and eX-
planned that his soldiers were very
much excited. He failed, however,
to recover the property stolen from
girl pupils and refugees.
More than d thousand homes in
Shiu Hing were burned during the
fighting between Kwangtung and
forces and hundreds
sought refuge in the Baptist church
the mission school. I'm
controlled soldiers also sacked the
hospital, destroying prop
erty and pouring medicines on the
