927 Deer and
17Bears Checked
At Bangor Station

Bangor, Me-, Nov. 30-P)-Re-
ceipts at the Bangor station up to
and including today, the last day of
the present hunting season, are as
follows:
Deer-927.
Bears-17.
The hunters now in the woods will
be allowed a reasonable length of
time to get their game out. Game
shipped through this week will be al
lowed to pass inspection, but game
shipped next week must bear a spe-
cial tag issued by the fish ard game
department to escape seizure. Re-
ceipts at this time last year amount
ed to 1862 deer and 81 bears. The de-
crease in this years rail receipts is
dut largely to increased use of mot
or cars, rather than to scarcity Of
game, which has been plentiful in all
sections. The conditions as a whole
have been favorable to successful
hunting.

Dear Sir:

mits that the Butte Miner is now sup
porting Senator Wheeler, but excuses
this on the ground that me Miner is
doing so for the purpose of putting
the junior senator Gin Dutch" with
the people. This is surely a very
ingenious way of trying to take the
curse of the Miner off Mr.. Wheeler.
But it is too la e for it is a mat
Ter of common knowledge, that alone
the Miner but the Anaconda Stand
ard and the rest of the copper press
supported the shrewd Mr.. Wheeler
Immediately before he was elected to
the United S iates senate.
AS there is not much space at my
disposal to give history of how Mr.
Wheeler climbed into the senate o.,

tana with the aid of the Copper press
I will give but a brief outline of the
career of the Butte yankee lawyer

facts will be mentioned here which
require the citation of proofs which
have not become matters of public
knowledge.
