The cod fishermen were caught out
on the ocean in the dense fog on Friday
afternoon of last week. Some of them
got i'll without much trouble, while
others had much difficulty in telling
where they were. One mar nearly ran
into the buoy at Hereford Inlet. Anoth-
er landed on Two Mile Beach with his
row boat full of fish. Superintendent
Nelson Hays, of the Wildwood water
works, was notified about four o'clock
of the plight of the fishermen and he
began to blow the whistle at frequent
intervals. This proved to be a welcome
sound to those yet out and enabled
them to make a landing near the usual
place. Some of them did not get in
until nearly seven in the evening.

Mr.. Jed Dubois, Borough Clerk,
Wildwood, N. j.
My Dear Sir:-The summer season of
1899 has every prospect of being a pros
porous one for our island and we should
all work together to that end. Now, l
would like to make some arrangement
with our three boroughs to JON to-
gether and publish a booklet of Five
Mile Beach, size 81 by 6 inches, 80
pages, printed in two colors, in
n color.
This booklet is not to be an individ-
ual advertising booklet, but devoted to
the general interests of the island, and
to be without advertisements except
the names of hotels and cottages, their
owners, rates, etc., neatly printed I'M
der cut of property, and will be a first
class job in every way.
| will take all photographs and have
half tones printed from same and fur
nish the borough of Wildwood with
1000 copies for the sum of $125.
l have just purchased one of the finest
cameras made, fitted with the best lens
made, so am able to do first-class work
and l believe our boroughs could do no
betterfor u beach than by expanding
this amount of money in advertising in
this way. There would be at least
10000 copies issued in the first edition.
Will you kindly bring this before the
Borougl Council the next time they

convene and report their action upon
same.
