Salmon Nets at Rockland.

widely known III this part of the State
as a successful salmon catcher, was IN

now the property of {. II. Pendleton,

who obtained permission from the gov
eminent to have this work done. and
who undertakes the experiment With
the hope that his work will eventually
be rewarded The netting starts from
a point at the breakWater 100 feet m
shore from the lighthouse and extends
about 100 feet in the direction OF Till
son wharf. Mr. Duncan. who has been
in the business SO years, has a privilege
OF his own, and sold about $50 salmon
in Rockland alone, last season. He is
of the opinion that the breakwater net
should be successful. although the sal
mon is a timid fish and the noise made
by the men working on the breakWater
and at Bay Point is rather an un1avor-
able condition at present. Mr.. Duncan
