Fishing Laws on
CObbOssee Stream
And Tributaries

Inasmuch as there seems to be so
much misunderstanding with refer
ence to the present law on Cobbos-
seecontee stream and tributaries, and
the tributaries to Pleasant and Mud
ponds, the department of inland
fisheries and game has issued the fol-
lowing statement in explanation
thereof:
BY rules and regulations promul-
gated on the 25th day of July, 1923,
the tributaries to Cobbosseecontee
stream, direct or indirect. were
closed to all fishing. These regula-
tions read as follows:
Section l. For q period Of four
years from August 20, A. D. 1923, it
shall be unlawful for any person to
fish for, take, catch or kill any kind
of fish at any time in any of the tri-
butaries, direct or indirect, to Cob
bosseecontee stream, situated in the
towns of West Gardiner. Litchfield
or Bowdoin. in the counties of Ken
nebec and Sagadahoc.
1t shall also be unlawful for any
person to have in possession at any
time any kind of fish taken in viola
ton of any provision of these regu-
lations."
In explanation Of the above regu-
the fact that lake or pond is not
considered n tributary to another
lake or pond. or to a river, brook or
stream. The word tributaries" as
used in the inland fish and game
laws. and in rules and regulations
promulgated by virtue thereof,
means brooks or streams flowing dir
ectly into another brook or stream.
Mud and Pleasant Ponds
In consequence Of regulations pro-
muigated within a few days, the tri-
butaries to Mud and Pleasant ponds
in the towns of Richmond. Litchfield
and Bowdoin, have been closed to all
fishing. Copy of these regulations
are given here in full:
Section l. For period of four
years from the LIST day of May, A. D.
1924. it shall be unlawful for any
persons to fish for, take, catch or kill
any kind of fish at any time in any
of the tributaries of Mud or Pleas
ant ponds, situated in the towns of
Litchfield, Bowdoin and Richmond,
in the counties, Of Kennebec and
Sagadahoc.
"Section 2. It shall also be I'M
lawful for any person to have in
possession at any time any kind of
fish taken in violation of any pro-
vision Of these rules and regula-
tons"
From the above regulations It will
be noted that neither Cobbossee-
contee stream. nor Oxbow pond, nor
Horseshoe pond, have been closed to
fishing by virtue of either of these
regulations, as is being enormously
reported.

"Ashes of Vengeance" Stands
In a Class All It's Own

Latest Production Starring Norma
Talmadoe Now On Screen at
Opera House
ashes of Vengeance" opened at
the Opera House last night. 1t Is
romance of the 10th century, q pro-
duction which for gorgeousness OF
coStuming, massive settings, story
interest and splendid portrayal
stands in a class of its own, an ex-
ample of artistry seldom displayed on
u screen.
While massive settings and gor-
geous costuming make of the picture
u riot of splendor, these are but back
ground for a thrilling, tensely inter-
esting love story which is never for
u moment overshadowed by the
spectacular elements of the picture,
and which is never for a moment
dull. Situation follows situation in
rapid succession and practically
every situation furnishes a thrill.
The story opens at a court ball
held on st. Bartholomew Eve held
by Catherine de Medici to disarm
suspicion. She manages that evening
to secure the signature of her weak
son, Charles IN, to a proclamation
decreeing the massacre of the HUI
guenots. Rupert do Vrieac and his
hereditary enemy engage in a duel
in which de Vrieac is victorious. but
places La Roche under obligation by
sparing his life. The massacre of the
Huguenots takes place that night
and La Roche saves both de Vrieac
and his tinancee on condition that
the young nobleman becomes his
servant for five years. At the castle
OF la Roche, de Nreiac is subjected to
much humiliation at the hands of La
Roche and his beautiful sister, Yeo-
land de BreuX, but finally, after a
desperate encounter with a wolf,
saves the life of the invalid sister of
his tormentors.
Later Yeoland, guarded by de
Vrieac, goes to visit her cousin and
there meets the despicable Due de
Tours, who seeks to win her. De
Nrieac saves her after desperate
battle in which de Tours is killed
Later, at the request of Ieoland, de
|. Nricac is released from his oath of
servitude. and the avowal of love
between the young couple brings to
an enc the teud between the two
families.
Probably never in her brilliant ca
reer has the talented Norma Tai
madge Better displayed her beauty
and talents than she does here as
1eoland. And as Rupert, Conway
Tearle plays his part in a manner as
to almost share honors with the star
herself. Wallace Berry rises to
heights seldom before equalled in the
portrayal of the cowardly and des-
picable william of the play. The en-
tire cast, and it is unusually large
and distinguished, displays no weak
spots. and is admirably handled in
all of the many big scenes. A word
of praise here for Director Frank
Lloyd. There are thousands of
extras in the big scenes. and these,
as well as the principals perform
with n precision which is impossible
except by mastery direction.
The photography is notably beau
tiful. The scenes have richness
and depth quite out Of the ordinary.
And these scenes are exquisitely set,
down to the final detail. One feat of
photography which struck us as
something decidedly novel is the
photographing of the grand ball room
of Louvre palace, showing 1900 la
dies and gentlemen of the court

by adding to these figures, the
respective items for highway ad-
ministration, enforcement and auto
registration, it will be seen that in
1919 the total amount spent by the
State Highway Commission was S.
7JS, 77S.73, while in 1923 it spent
s.. 535, 777.14. This indicates rapid
expansion. not curtailment.
"As to mileage construction for
the same years, 1919 and 1928, it
appears that in 1919.s 2O7.40 miles
of road were built by the State
while in 1923 the State constructed
302.J9 miles.
from the above figures it will be
seen that there has been a steady
advance both as to the amount spent
and as to the results accomplished
and the pro rata increase for the
years 1921 and 1922 is much the
same when compared with 1917 and
1918.
ITO summarize: In the three
years of the former administration,
1017-1S-10, the State spent on its
road program, $6,043, 1850 and in
the first three years of my admin
istration, 1g21-22-23, the State spent
SIC, 1874, 7SO.36. The average State
tax rate for the first three years
was 6 IL mills, for the last three
years IA mills, or a saving in
taxes of Ia mill per year, averag-
ing over $150,OOO annually, or ap-
proximately 100000, notwithstand-
ing an increased expenditure of So,
991, 344.47, or 143 percent, on our
road work.
1.-The first three years, 1017-1S-19,
the State constructed 53622 miles.
In the three years. 1021-22-23, the
State constructed $1,000 niles More
over, the increased cost of every
thing should be taken into consid-
Grafton in comparing these figures
and the results accomplished show
steady progress in road work with
a somewhat reduced tax rate to do
1t with.
ut will be seen that there has
been no curtailment of Maine road
work. For the present year, 1924,
we have $1,OO4.5OO of bonds to be
issued that will carry us through
this season without hampering us
in any respect. There will be no
shortage of funds and we will do
our best to make every dollar count.
