Detailed Explanation of Alien Resi-
dent Hunting and Fishing
License Laws

From recent inquiries made at the
Department of Inland Fisheries and
Game by letter and in person it is
evident that much misunderstanding
exists in the minds of alien residents
(unnaturalized, foreign born persons)
as to the hunting and fishing license
laws applying to such residents of
Maine.
Under the law, an unnaturalized,
foreign born person who is bona
fide resident of Maine, must procure
$2.15 fishing license and SIS hunt
ing license until such time as he
becomes naturalized or has been a
bona fide resident of Maine two years
continuously prior to the time he de-
sires to hunt or fish, and is a real
estate taxpayer in Maine-pays taxes
on land. the title to which stands In
his own name. The payment OF a
real estate tax on land owned by an
other person does not relieve the
would-be fishermen or hunter in the
premises 1t will be noted that both
of the requirements OF the law, as TO
length of residence and payment OF
real estate taxes-must be compiled
with in order to entitle the party to
the privileges of the % cent license.
Another point which has developed
IN the course Of the departments in
yestigation is the fact that many
aliens in the past have secured 20
cent licenses who are not entitled at
the present time TO hold them by
reason of the fact that they have sold
the real eetate which they owned at
the time they secured the % cent IL
cenSe.
In such cases some Of the parties
where specific cases of this kind have
been called to the attention of the de-
partment, have lived in Maine Is
years. and the department is obliged
20 notify them that until they are
again owners of real estate and are
paying taxes thereon in Maine they
must be equipped with $215 fish
ing license and S15 hunting license.

Gather the Red Pine Cones

Red pine cones. we have discovered,
are profitable II picked at the right
season. We have proposition from
a nursery in Boston offering to pur-
chase in our vicinity % bushels of
these cones this fall, provided, OF
course, the same are in satisfactory
condition. This is an lexcellent OPP
portunity for those who would wish
to pick up little extra money.
Farmers, or farm boys and girls, will
surely welcome this chance.
1t is very important that the cones
be picked when just about ripe, but
not yet open. II not ripe, the seeds
will not be mature, and will not germ
mate, and If open, the seed gets lost
before shipment. The time for pick
ing varies according to the dryness of
the season, but roughly speaking runs
from the middle of August to the mid
die of September. Some years, how
ever, (last year was one) when the
weather was especially dry, the cones
opened up very fast.
The cones for which we are in
search are of the smaller variety. II
IN doubt as to the right sort we
would suggest that you call at this
Office and see some samples that we
have on hand. 1t would be well for
a shipper to send few cones by
mail, direct to the nursery. when. in
his judgment, he thought they were
about ready, and knew he could get
additional ones right away, just like
them. Or, If preferred. 1t might be
best to ship sample bushel for which
the sender would be paid the regular
price, 1925 per bushel.
All samples sent should be mailed
to Franklin Forestry Company, R. F.
D., Griswoldyille, Mass FRANKLIN
County, The express address for
qualities of more than bushel is
Franklin Forestry Company, Colrain,
via Shelburne Falls, Mass.
Good strong potato sacks would be
satisfactory to the nursery, If accept
able to the express company. as we
have no doubt they would be. Old
sacks would be useless however, they
need not be strictly new The nur-
sery company will pay for the sacks
Should anyone who cbntemplates
gathering these cones wish further
information upon anything In connec
ton herewith, it may be obtained by
writing the above address or sending
a letter to the independents Reporter

salmon that filled the waters. Find
ing the days labor enough for his
strength. and being unwilling to pass
many hours of the night In fishing,
he was accustomed to capture his
inney food in the following original
manner His house stood near the
waters edge. and after he had set
his net, he would tie one end of the
line to his wrist and the other to a
net and go to bed; and as a fish, en-

led in the net, the motion would
awaken him, and springing out of
bed, he would secure his prey.
