FROGS FROM MISSOURI.

An Agent of the Fish Commission
Tells How They Are Caught for
Market.
From the Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
w A. Wilcox, agent for the United
States FISH commission. is in the city, just
from the upper part of Arkansas and the
southeastern part of Missouri. A reporter
asked him for an account of what he
had found.
In Southeast Missouri" said the COM
missioner, Il found that a new industry
was springing up Last week a firm of
fish dealers at Kennett shipped to New
York the first carload of buffalo fish
ever sent from this territory to that mar
ket. The car contained 26OOO pounds, and
the sale of the shipment was so satisfac-
tory that the same parties viii make an
other shipment this week. This bids fair
to become a big business in this section.
The supply of buffalo or rough FISH in these
waters is almost without limit, and New
York offers a good market. Heretofore
the principal market for the catches OF
North Arkansas and South Missouri have
been in Kansas City, st. Louis and Chi
cago, but now they are opening up a new
benefit to that section. All these buffalo
were caught out of Little river and Big
Lake. through which the former flows.
Il was amazed at the frog industry
ped 60000 pounds Of dressed frogs legs to
the markets last season, and New Madrid
not less than 25.0O0. l got these figures
from the books of the railroads, and know
that they are true"
How do the frog fishers get the best
results?" asked the reporter.
"They fish in all sorts of ways. Some
frogs are shot, some are caught with
red flannel tied below hook but the best
results are from spearing. The frog sea-
son commences about the middle of March
and lasts three months. During the first
of the season the nights are cool and the
frogs stay in the water, only coming out
in the day time for sun. Most of the
fishing is then done in the day time. But,
as the nights become warmer, the best
results are obtained at night and by the
spear. 1t takes two men to work this.
One sits in the stern of the boat and pad
dies it along close to the bank. on the
bow there is a big reflector arranged so
rection. Just behind this stands the
spearer. The light so blinds the frog that
the boat can be padded right up to him.
The price paid last year to the fisher
men for the frogs averaged 70 cents per
dozen, the frogs averaging one-half pound
each. This made a revenue paid to the
frog fishermen of kennett last season of
$500 in three months. These frogs are
shipped not only to the cities of the Mis-
sissippi basin, but a large amount of
them go to New York, where | am told
the frogs caught in the northern waters.
The swamp lands of Arkansas and Mis-
souri, are the finest places that | ever saw
for frogs, and will bring a large amount
of money to those who go into the bust
ness"

UNION IRON WORKS our OF 1T.
The Newport News Company to Build
Both BattIeships

Washington. Dec. 25.-It has been prac-
tically decided by Secretary Herbert to
award the contract for the construction
of the battleship Kearsarge and her I'M
named sister vessel TO the Newport News
Wa) Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Com
pany. in accordance with the recommen-
dalton of the naval board of bureau
chiefs. The bid Of the Virginia firm was
$2,2J0,O00 for each ship. 1t is understood
that the suggestion of the board that the
secretary give the Union Iron Works Of
San Francisco an opportunity Of secur-
ing the contract for one of the ships by
scaling their bid was rejected by Mr..
Herbert on account of a precedent estab-
lished by Secretary Tracey, that bidders
should be allowed TO scale down only
when their proposals came within per
cent. of the bid offered by the successful
competitor. The alternate proposition
of members of the board that the Union
Iron Works and the Cramp Company
of Philadelphia be given an opportunity
to secure two ships each through an ap-
preparation by congress on the recommen-
dalton of the secretary for four more bat
tleships is said to be still under consider
alton.
