GARDENERS UNIQUE INDUSTRY.
The Spear Eel Fishery Has Been in Successful
Operation 80 Years.

How many Journal readers ever visited
an eel fishery? Probably not many. for
it is not very common industry in this
section but though little is known gem
orally of the method employed in the
capture of cells, ii is really quite an i'm
pOrtant branch of the fish business.
Thinking that a few paragraphs upon
this subject might he of interest, the
Journal man visited the Spear fishery at
the New Mills. Friday morning, and was
by Mr.. Edward Peacock, who conducts
the business for the owner. Mrs. Thad-
deus Spear, shown about the works. and
had explained to him the method of cap
ture. dressing and shipment of cells.
The business is of the nature that
might be called a monopoly, for Mrs.
Spear holds the exclusive right to take
cells in this way in Cobbossee waters.
and is protected from any competition in
the business, by right granted by the
State of Maine.
1t is not a new industry. for it was es-
tablished by her husband. the late Thad-
deus Spear, more than 80 years ago.
Since that time it has been conducted as
a business and has always proved Il sue

tiit nSuViy, eeiS were Caught Ill IL Sinai
way by what was known as the eel pot
system. that u.s. by setting hogsheads or
barrels in the water near the several
dams. into which the cells forced their
way and from which they could not es-
cape. but Mr.. Spear conceived the idea
of taking them on a larger SCALE and
after his fishery was established the old
method was abandoned
The eel fishery is not business that
requires the attention of the operator
during the entire year. as there is an in
tcrval of about six months when there il
nothing to do. The cells are taken when
they make their run down the stream on
their way to the sea. which begins in
August and continues for about 10 weeks.
AS the traps become full the eelss are
taken from them and placed IN two large
cars. where they are kept until the time

never happier than when sounding the
praises of his native Maine, or serving;

able to do for them can scarcely be APP

ways felt in meeting and greeting old
neighbors and friends.
1t is natural, therefore, that his
death should come with special shock
to the people of his own State. To
every citizen of Maine his loss brings
sense of personal bereavement. 1T
comes, too, with special sadness at the
beginning of a new year when so many
great and far reaching problems are
pressing for solution, and when his
strong qualities of leadership were so
sorely needed.
The grief that is felt finds but feeble
expression in the tender tributes to his
memory that come spontaneously to
every lip. Words cannot voice the Ian
guage of sorrow.

ISOLATION. These clergymen absolutely
deny Shows assertion that the Nor
mon church no longer teaches and en-
courages polygamy. Their indictment
is specific, as they name prominent
officials who have taken plural wives
within the last eight years. Their ut
terance contains also the grave charge
that church and state are not separate

church persistently interferes with
politics and that the nomination ana
