THE exhibit of receipts and dis
bursements of the State oyster
guard boat for six months of last
year, showed a balance of nearly
one thousand dollars, which was
paid to the State Treasurer. This
is creditable; but the oyster indus
try needs more attention and en-
enlargement by the State, and the
guard should be extended to more
districts. Laws are plentiful, bu'
their enforcement is what the oys
ter business needs.

FROM FREDERICK.

Last Saturday evening Mr.. James b. An
dersyn entertained the members OF his class
ia the church. 1t was the occasion of his |
seventy-eighth birthday. A very pleasant |
evening was spent. Hymns were sung and |
prayers were offered, and testimonials were
given. There were some present who had
been members of the class since childhood,
who bore witness to the fact that the exem-
plary life of their christian leader had helped
them to continue steadfast in their religious
life Many others were present who also
wished him many happy returns ofthe day.
Some time was spent in social conversation,
after which cake and ice cream were served.

UNDER the influence of good
weather work of all kinds has been
given a start that will soon make
the fields of Delaware teen with
growing crops. Farmers are find
ing plenty of labor for the spring
work, and generally speaking, farm
operations are being enlarged over
those of last year. More diversity
of crops, both in fruit and vegeta-
bic growing is finding favor very
properly with farmers. One branch
may not be profitable every season
to the grower, while all branches Of
fruit, grain or vegetable growing
seldom fail at one time to give
profit. Diversity is very gooC
idea when carried out on bushes:
principles,and the community will
be more prosperous for it.

DENVER CAPITALISTS
WILL BEGIN WORK,

The excitement owe the discovery
of oil near Walcott and Fort Steele will
take on renewed life noS that another
well is to be sunk in that locality. says
the Encampment Enterprise. The oil
properties owned by N. H. Burger &
Co. and others of this place have been
placed with Denver capitalists who
announce that work will be commenc-
ed at a very early date. A well will
be sunk at least two thousand feet at
a point in White Horse canon, where
the indications for oil are most en-
couraging. The land in that vicinity
contains several oil springs and much
oil sand has been found. One well has
been sunk 900 feet in which oil was
encountered at 700 feet.
The property owned by the Burgers.
ct. al, embraces about fourteen hun
bred acres. The Denver capitalists
were interested by c. J.. Kennedy. of
Saratoga. who Is one of the original To-
Gators of the ground. The Denver peo-
pie sent experts to examine the prop
erty and decided that the indications
for oil would warrant the sinking Of a
deep we'll A complete outfit Of ma
chinery is now en- route to Fort Steele.
The oil property lies alongside the I'm

ton Of transportation is already solv-
ed.

another charm to the wealth of this

CATFISH IN A jig.
TEXAS CIRCUIT RIDER TELLS A
UNIQUE FISH STORY.
Catch on the End of Hi. Limo Not as
Worthless ~ He at first supposed
Tells Tale Only When He Is sure OF
His Listsuers.

Rev. Ezra Sn::b. wlio rides a Meth
odist circuit il Southwestern Texas,
has a fish story which he tells only
when sure of his company. He is not
only a man of God. but is naturally
truthful. and those who know him best
say that he never told a lie in his
life.
He is gaunt, hard-muscled and Sc
rious. He has a temper. which he con-
trolls by gripping 1t with both hands
and holding 1t down. When his story
Is doubted he gets dark-red of face and
walks away hurriedly. Therefore he
tells 1t only when sure of his listeners.
This Is the story:
Two years ago l was In a cabin ON
the bank Of the lower Guadalupe;
kept there because the river was full
and l could not cross. l thought to
Kill a day with hook and line. and
catfish bite well on a rise. any how.
Il borrowed a hand line so feet long,
1t had a half pound lead sinker at its
end and three hooks set at intervals
OF two feet above the lead. These
ook hung from pieces of line zach .
foot long.
Il walked down the bank a half
mile, baited with chicken liver, swung
her around my head q few times, and
let go. The current took the line down
at a sharp angle before the lead struck
bottom.
In less than ten seconds I got a bite.
l sunk the gaif into him hard and
began to haul In, hand over hand. He
came heavy and slow, like other cat
fish, aud I felt good.
when l got the last hook from the
water saw that a two-gallon jug hung
to 1t. Then l didn't feel good.
dragged the jug upon the bank and
stopped to get the hook out of Its
mouth, but 1t was caught and held
something inside.
Il supposed that 1t was caught on
weeds. tool a rock inc broke the jug.
On the hook. fastened through the up
per lip. was a blue catfish that weighed
more than two pounds.
Now. you know me and my calling.
Tsr.ce-ettf but one explanation of this
thing. Some fellow threw the jug into
the river a long time before. 1t sank
to the bottom and lay with its mouth
upstream.
"A baby catfish went into 1t one day
and stayed in it. living on such food
