SEBAGO FISHING,
Why Have the Fish Commissioners
signaIly Failed In These Waters.
To the Editor Of the Press:

To the Editor Of the Press:
! read with much interest the article
on "Sebago Waters" by Mr.. Chas. Ross
White, and heartily wish we could have
the subject of "Sebago Fishing" dis
cussed In our papers much more than 1t
is.
1t SEEMS strange that there Is so little
manifest interest In this matter, consider
ing the possibilities of Sebago Lake, and
its waters for breeding and growing
land looked Lsalmon. this lpurity Of the
water. the great depth (about five hum
the natural food Of the salmon.
1t seems strange, very strange, that
there should be so little interest in the
matter In and about Portland, within a
half hour ride from the lake.
Without going into details regarding
the different ideas as to increasing, or
diminishing OF salmon, there is m DOUBT
that the general opinion about the lake Is
that the salmon are diminishing in num-
bers, and that decidedly.
The members of 1.-THE Fish Commission
advance the idea that the salmon go down
the Prssumpscot river in such numbers
as to account for this condition Of aanairs.
No doubt these gentlemen are hard pressed
for a reason to advance in the matter, but
the general opinion concerning this idea
is that 1t Is ridiculous In the extreme.
We're there any force in this argument,
how about the old condition of affairs
when there was no dam at the head of
the Presumpscot river, and no Fish
Commissioners to carry away thousand
of salmon SPAWN
To be sure there were the poacherS,
who peared them on their spawning
beds. but in spite of this they held their
own quite we'll but under the prevailing
condition OF affairs the fishing grows
worse from year to year, and seems worse
this season than ever. The Fish Com.
mission has had full control of affairs
about the lake for some years now, and
see no Inconsistency In holding 1t re-
sponsible for the present condition OF
affairs. 1t Is claimed by residents and
guides about the Songo and Crooked
rivers that the Commission lhterIeres
with the natural spawning of the salmon
BY throwing brush on the spawning beds,
thus forcing the fish to keep descending
the river, until they are caught In the
weir, but of this have no proof.
No doubt they would claim fnii right TO
do this, tut If thsy take advantage OF all
tt est hin Is, why may We not hoid them
accoun table for the resulting condition of
affairsY
We hear from time to time of the great
sr ,cess of the Commission in stocking
different waters in this state, and II
would seem as though this same success
might attend proper efforts IN tne natural
home of the land.locked salmon, Sebago
lake.

PROVINCE LOBSTER TRADE
Burnham T. morrill, Have Bought the
Nova Scotia Factories of II. c. Baxter.

Halifax, May 12.-There has been a
great falling off In the quantity of live
Holsters shipped to Boston. from this port
this season. Up to May II last year there
had been been shipped from Halifax to
Boston 4, 1877 crates of Holsters. This sea-
son only 1886 crates have been forwarded
from Halifax. There are two chief rea.
sons for this, apart from the question
whether or not the!supply of Holsters is
diminishing One of these Is that the
weather has been bad, high winds and n
rough sea, and the other reason is that
the dealers have not besn at all anxious
to buy for shipment alive. The Holsters
shipped from Halifax arc taken from
Lunenburg to the west and to Canso on
the east. The firm of Burnham & Nor
rell bought the factories on this coast of
II. G. Baxter, which removes the compe-
tition of one prominent firm. But quite
apart from this the leading dealers are
not at all anxious to ship Holsters alive.
Burnham & Morrill,. that up to this date
last year sent over 600 crates, have so far
this season shipped only las crates. Other
firms could be named that have adopted
the same policy. Live shipments at last
years prices did not pay. Dealers are
canning the Holsters that offer.rather than
Shipping them alive. At the same time it
is fact that on the south shore of Nova
Scotia the total catch for any purpose,
has been less than last year, doubtless
due solely to the weather. The dealers
hope that from now on the catch will In
crease. Fishermen have been receiving
