Hunter 8 Happy.

The exc cni sport afforded the fisher
men and ndntsnlen on the nearby fishing
and hunting grounds has attracted great
many persons TO this vicinity during the
past two weeks. Rabbits. squirrels, part
ridges, wild turkeys. wild ducks, pleas
ants, as well as the famous black bass and
cells, seem to be more plentiful at this sea-
son Of the year than for many years past.
The hunting in the mountains of West
Virginia has been decidedly good At
Cherry Run wild turkeys are very plenti
full, and the hunters are killing large num-
bers Of them. Capt. Charles Southgate,
conductor on the Potomac Valley railroad
with party of friends, shot four nice ones
in two hours hunt near Cherry Run. ].
Fersner, living at Four Locks, along the
canal, captured three fine ones Saturday.

son are fat and in good condition, fact
which old hunters say means that the
winter will be unusually rough and cold
The question that is a great puzzle to
the oldest expert guide for fishermen on
the waters nearby. is what makes the fish
bite at this season OF the year like they
are biting now. They are taking most
any kind OF bait. and large lunches of
fine bass and suckers are being caught
daily. In fact the largest bass caught in
the Potomac waters for many ars by
hook and line was captured by "Hill'' Ar
dinger II was black bass, and YER

Fish commissioners Report.

Washington. Nov. 20.-The annuakre-
port of the United States Commissioner
OF Fish and Fisheries. Mr.. George NJ.
Bowers. says the present amount of cap
ital invested in the fisheries of the New
England States is SIoo37,o36 showing a
decrease OF S457.7sS since the commits
sion's last statistical canvass in 1880.
This decrease. however, is stated to be
only apparent, being caused chiefly by
the transfer of the menhaden industry to
New York. The New England food fish
cries in the aggre gate have increased in
quantity and decreased only slightly in
value. There are 35.445 persons employ
ed in this work, and 1927 vessels. valued
with their equipments, at S4,2a4,339
The total product is 3o3,355.57o pounds,
worth So,672,7o1--the fishery for cod,
cusk, hadock. hake and pollock ranking
first with value Of S2.7o3. 100. followed
by the oyster fishery of Rhode Island and
Connecticut, worth 81 ,oIo,6S4. The lob
ster fishery is next in commercial import
ance, being worth $I,276.ooo. While the
catch has fallen from 80, 100000 pounds
in 1889 to 100000 in 1898 the price of
Holsters has SO advanced that the value
of the industry has increased a cores
ponding degree.
