Union station in Portland n trunk
which had been checked from Har-
rington Station, Washington county,
to New York city, which trunk con-
tanned 81 cartridges.
After diligent investigation by Mr..
Cushman which included a special
trip by him to Washington county.
evidence was secured which showed
that a nonresident of Maine had
made several trips to Washington
county previous to January 18th, 1928.
and it Is was alleged that he had
quite a number of birds previous to
the time this shipment which War
den Cushman seized was made.
On account of snow coming and
preventing auto traffic transportation
of Illicit game was continued evident
ly by having the shipment checked
as baggage by a resident of Har-
rington. Evidently the owner of the
game did not dare to trust the ship
ment to express, knowing that all
express packages are examined by
the inspectors. He did not realize at
that time-although it is believed
that he and all connected with the
affair fully realize it-that baggage
is also likewise inspected.
AS a result of Warden Cushman's
investigation and trip to Washing
ton county. a fine of 5000 and costs
taxed at $17.29 was paid by the party
at Harrington who it was alleged had
the partridges in possession and who
had arranged for the shipment to
New York.

1893 Miles of
Federal Aid Road
Annr0Yed for Maine

The State Highway Commission
received yesterday from the Bureau
Of Public Roads of the United States
Department of Agriculture n map
showing the Federal aid highway
system as so far approved by the
Secretary Of Agriculture. The map
has been hung in the offices of the
Highway Commission and will un-
doubtedly be Of great assistance to
the Commission and their employees
motor routes throughout the county,
many such inquiries coming to the
Commission in the course of the
year.
It is interesting to note in connec-
ton with O study OF the map that in
accordance with the provisions of the
Federal highway act the system of
roads upon which Federal aid may
be expended must consist of not more
than seven percent of the total rural
mileage in each state. The total
mileage of rural roads in the United
States as certified by the various
states, is 2,S5s,575 miles. This will
limit the Federal aid highway sys-
tenn to 200,170 miles. At the end Of
the fiscal year. June 80. 1923. IS
state systems, comprising 1859
miles, had been approved by the Sec
rotary of Agriculture and 1t was not
thought likely that the initial pro-
gram for Federal aid improvement
would exceed 10000 miles.
Analysis of the approved systems
for IS states shows that of the I'LL
cities OF 5000 or more population in
these states. 104S lie directly on the
system and there Is probably not one

tern by an improved road.

percent OF the total population lives

chief aim of the states and the Bu-
reau of Public Roads has been to
select routes which will give the
maximum local service and connect
with one another to form a great
national system Of highways.
The rural road mileage in Maine.
as certified by the State Highway
Commission to the Secretary of Agri-
culture, is 23,1O4 miles. This will
allow eventually for 1913 miles of
Federal aid highway system. The
routes so far submitted by the High
way Commission and approved by
the Secretary Of Agriculture aggre-
gate 1393.46 miles, allowing a leeway
OF 224 miles which can be added later
on to the system.

was secured which justified the au-
thorities in alleging that a nom
resident, one H. d. Wakefield, had
wired money to the Harrington man
to be used for the purpose of buying
birds for shipment to New York.
Following up this clue the very eff
ficient Federal officers succeeded in
securing evidence which has resulted
In the payment of fines amounting

The information as to the payment
of these fines in New York reached
the Fish and Game Department on
January End, 1924, coming in the
form of report from Federal War
den Albert Stadlmeir who has rem
dered invaluable service in these
cases. This report reads as follows:

1t Is understood from further re-

that other parties in the vicinity of
New York are alleged to have receiv-
ed birds from Wakefield, but as they
were absent their cases could not be
reached or settlement made when the
above cases were taken up.
The results in this case show the
splendid cooperation which exists
between the Maine Department of
Inland Fisheries and Games and the
Federal Wardens who are under the
supervision of the Bureau of Biolo-
gical Survey. U. S. Department Of
Agriculture, Washington, d. c.
1t Is stated at the Department OF
Inland Fisheries and Game that the
assistance of the Federal wardens in
jurisdictions outside of Maine is of
inestimable value also in ferretting
out illegal fur shipments. Several
such cases are now under investi-
cation at the hands of the Federal
authorities at the request of the
Maine Department and interesting
developments are soon expected.
1t is believed that the results at

will save to legitimate sportsmen

claimed to be the finest game bird In
existence.
