Fishing has been worse this season
than for many years past. This fact is
ascribed by Major Sylvester entirely TO
the polluted condition Of the Potomac
River and it's tributaries.
During this month but few fish and a
neager quantity of bass, which are usu-
ally plentiful at this time of the year.
have been taken. Fishermen have not
experienced so bad a September In fif-
teen years, they say
The almost perpetually polluted condi-
ton Of the water all summer has praC-
ucally ruined the sport. This pollution
is caused by the loose and dusty condi
ton of the ground near the river. par
ticularly in plowed fields. The water
has been clear less than one-fourth of
the time from April 10 the present day.

Mills Not Responsible.

Early this spring it was thought that
the pollution was caused by the refuse
from paper factories. saw mills, and
the like. and an investigation on the
part of the Game am Fish Protective
Association Of the District of Columbia
Maryland, and Virginia was made. which
resulted in promises from several manu-
faCturers that refuse matter from their
places would not be thrown into the
river. Since then the manufacturer
have been diligently watched, and have
apparently kept their word. Thus, the
authorities are satisfied that the cause
OF the scarcity Of fish caught cannot be
laid at their doors.
The fishing will continue 10 be bad
