Refuse and Chemicals From Mills
PollutfnE the Potomac.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
l read with considerable interest and
concurrence the article in last Saturdays
Star on bass fishing in the Potomac. I
would go a step further than the writer
and say the Potomac is the finest bass
stream in the world. This is due. of course.
to its peculiar location, fed almost entirely
by pure mountain water and running its
full course over a rocky bottom. But as a
bass stream l think It's days are numbered
unless prompt and efficient measures are
adopted for its preservation. 1 have just
returned from fishing and observation
trip IN canoes in company with Mr.. G. Ed
monston, Capt. West and Mr.. Enoch Ed
mons ton. Our journey extended from near
Cumberland to Washington, a distance of
about $50 miles. The writer of last Satur-
days article is well posted He refers to
the low water driving the bass down the
! river, but in another paragraph 1 think he
hits the nail on the head squarely. Let me
quote: THE fact was also mentioned that
the refuse from the pulp mills a Harper's
Ferry, consisting of sawdust and small
fragments of wood which was thrown into
the river. f1oated down and, becoming
water-logSed, sank to the bottom and COW
cred the gravel and sand bars which the
bass select in the spring as nesting places,
and thus drove them to seek other places,
where these conditions did not exist. 1t is
gratifying to be able to state that the lat
ter statement came to the attention of
one of the capitalists interested in the man.
ufacture of pulp at Harpers Ferry, and
that measures will be adopted to prevent
the further throwing of such refuse into
the water"
1 am glad that one capitalist is interest
irg himself in the matter and hope he will
accomplish good results. But those who
unconsciously carelessly are running the
water are not all so philanthropic, and
stringent laws should be passed by Con-
gresS to save the pure water of this noble
stream. For instance, go to Oldtown, be-
low Cumberland about sixteen miles. The
water there in both canal and river is as
black as coal, caused by the refuse and
chemicals of the paper mills saw mills ard
tan yards of Cumberland and the upper
river About two miles below Oldtown the
South branch comes in. What a contrast
to see its clear waters run side Dy side
with the unbottled ink of the parent stream
and for a long distance refusing to mix
with it. That black water now extends
from Cumberland to below Hancock. and
of the upper river and is crowding the
gamest of all fish down to salt water.
Again referring to the quotation above
given, would ask is it not the refuse and
chemicals of the pulp mills at Harper's
Ferry that have injured the former great
fishing ground at Weverton and for some
miles below? If some one will take the
do their share to protect the bass and the
river w. A. NJ.

From Woodstock, Va, Herald
There Is an old soldier in Woodstock,

leo and in the war of the rebellion, Mr..
Levi McInturff. He passed through
both these wars without a serious
seriously on him, for when the grip
attacked him four years ago it nearly
killed him. Who can look on the in
firmities of a veteran without feeling
of the deepest sympathy? His towns
people saw him confined to his house so
Frustrated with great nervousness that
he could not hold a knife and fork at
and as he attempted it, he often
stumbled and fell. They saw him
treated by the best talent to be had
but still he suffered on for four years,
and gave up finally in despair. One
day, however, he was struck by the
account of a cure which had been eff
fected by the use of DR.. Williams Pink
and commenced taking them. He says
he was greatly relieved within three
days time. The blood found it's way
to his fingers and his hands which had
been palsied assumed a natural color,
and he was soon enabled to use his
knife and fork at the table. He has
recovered his strength to such an ex-
corn and do his regular work about his
home. He now says he can not only
walk to Woodstock, but can walk
across the mountains. He is able to
lift fifsy-two pound weight with one
hand and says he does not know what
Dr. Williams Pink Pills have done for
others, but knows that they have done
a great work for him.
He was in town last Monday, court

medicine that had given him SO great
relief. Mr.. NlcInturf is willing to make
affidavit to these facts.
