| Mr.. Editor:-The last issue of the Gar
| diner Home journal contains Il two column
| article on the smelt controversy, which at
| any other time | should not think worth re-
plying to; but coming on the eve of a
'hearing" before the Committee on Fisher
| les, justice to the people engaged in the fish
cries demands an answer. the statements
made are well calculated to mislead. 1t says
| 1T is the same old fight of money against the
poor man. This is in no sense true. With
possibly few exceptions the fishermen
down river" are poor, hard working men,
who earn all they get.
''Smelts have been growing scarcer ever
since they began to catch them in nets down
river" says the Home Journal. 1t should
have said, ever since every brook and stream
was damned. Yes, the fish do come up our
rivers to spawn, and if they do not find
proper spawning ground they will die out.
The streams are not only damned but the
bottom Of the river about their mouths, where
the smelts spawn is befouled with sawdust,
slabs and edgings so as to render it unfit
ground for the fish to spawn on. You will
never see smelts exterminated by net fishing,
for the cost of fishing. in nets, labor, etc, is
so much that unless there is u profit above
this cost there will be no fishing. for men do
not fish with nets for the fun of it, But
with the nook the last rSh Will be taken,
even if hundred men fish for him all day.
for this is sport The supply of smelts in
the lower Kennebec is kept up by reason of
the numerous places where the fish can
spawn on proper grounds. just below Bath
is Winnegance Creek. near the upper part of
the city; Whiskeag Creek at Merrymeeting
Bay, numerous small rivers, brooks and
streams, all well suited 20 the breeding OF
smelts, and as they are extremely local in
their habits. their progeny return to their
native beds when they are grown. and their
spawn matured These fish would nerer &c
TO Gardiner. Now would it be justice to
prohibit us from taking our own fish. when
we have fostered their propagation, for the
alleged benefit of our up river neighbors who
have made it impossible for smelts to breed
in their waters.
Seines have not been used on the kennebet
for ten wears so that bugbear is answered.
The first snielts taken in nets found n market
in Gardiner. Hallowell and Augusta, show
ing that there was nerer enough taken with
the hook to supply the local markets. East
ern river. the first place where smells
were netted. still has good school of fish,
the reason is apparent, there is ample spawn
ing ground.

The Home Farm says that Mr.. ID. f. Man
ter of West Watervile was in this CITY re-
Gently, to present to the Legislature petit
ton for the planting of hedges along the road
side, and for allowing parties who set such
hedges reasonable compensation, the same
to be allowed on highway taxes, or one-balf
of the same in money in towns where no high
way tax is raised. The petition was large
one. containing the names of many of the
most prominent residents of the county, and
we most certainly hope the Legislature will
take steps to in some way provide for the set
ting of hedges along exposed situations on
the public highway. In letter to the
Committee on Ways and Bridges, to whom
the petition was referred, Mr.. Manter says
''The only argument necessary to secure an
efficient law in regard to this matter, would
be for the members of the Legislature to
take walk one hundred rods north of my
house, on this very cold winter day. The
fifty rods-more or less--of evergreen hedge
that would protect them from the cold wind,
they would wish extended the whole distance
to say nothing of the hard drifts that will
have to be shoveled out to make the road
passable beyond and this side Of the hedge"
