CATCHING YOUNG STURGEON.
Number of Fish Taken Recalls Old
DAYS on Potomac

There have been more spikes" young
sturgeon, caught in the Potomac during
the past week or ten days than for many
years and If the fish were allowed to
grow and attain full size the prospects are
that the sturgeon fisheries on the Potomac
would once more regain their old time i'm
portance. The fishermen do not seem to
realize that they are harming themselves
by taking the young sturgeon and send
ing them to market. where they bring a
few cents. If they were allowed to mature
they would bring big prices. The spikes
are about eighteen inches long and there
is hut little sale for them owing to the
trouble required to prepare them for cook
ing. Potomac sturgeon have for many
years been very scarce and they became
more difficult to find the price paid for
them has advanced; until now the fortu-
nate fisherman who nets a full grown stur-
geon is sure of selling 1t at price per
pound that will bring him from $50 to $50
clear money.
Sturgeon were not always so scarce in
the Potomac. Fifteen years ago IT was by
no means an uncommon sight to the
big fish disporting themselves in the river
off Alexandria, and then they were caught
daily in traps and brought to the market
here. On the fish wharf at Alexandria

varieties of river fish bit freely at it, hence

SUBMARINE SEWER PIPES LAID.
Sloop Derry Completes Her Work and

The sloop T. C. Derry of Quincy Point
Mass, which has been employed for the
past year in the work of laying the big
sewer pipes across the Anacostia river, in
connection with the trunk sewer which is
to run through the lower part of the Dis
trict to point a short distance above the
naval powder magazine, where 1t will
empty into the river. has completed her
work here and yesterday she left under
sail en- route to her home port on the New
England coast. The Derry Is fitted with
powerful derricks and machinery for the
placing of piping in deep water.
The piping she laid in trenches in the bed
of the Anacostia river was more than five
feet In diameter. On her way down the
river yesterday evening the S oop ran ashore
below Alexandra. but did not remain long.
for as soon as her crew could run her
anchor out the powerful windlass on the
sioop soon pulled her from the bank into
deep water. The Derry will return to
Massa ehusetts. going UP the coast She is
owned by Phillips & Brother Of Quincy and
is used along the coast for pipe-laying and
other heavy lifting work.

MOORE s. HILL, QnC), III 18th St. NV

in taking fish of all varieties from the
waters of the Potomac for the past half
century. in speaking of the decline of the
sturgeon industry on the river, stated to a
Star reporter that he has, within the pa ST
twenty-five years, seen surgeons caught
in such quantities at Stoney point and
other old-time fishing shores that there
was absolutely no sale for them. and they
were piled on the shore like cord wood and
the farmers were called upon to take them
away to use as fertilizer A catch of stur-
geon such as was described by the old
fisherman, would net the fortunate man
who caught them small fortune and he
would consider he had more than made
a seasons work.
AS stated. more young sturgeon have been
caught in the Potomac this fall than for
many years past, and the prospects are
for good catches of the grown fish IL the
young are allowed to remain in the river
and reach maturity. 1t is money IN the
pockets of the fishermen to let the Spikes
remain undisturbed until next year.

The grounds about the new drill tower
OF the fire deparement, in the rear of No 8
engine house on North Carolina avenue

done by the firemen 1t is stated that the
drill tower will be ready for the use of the
men and will be put In service in a few
weeks, and the fremen will be trained In
climbing walls with scaling ladders, the
proper method of handling hose, how to
bring people from burning buildings, and
other duties that they are daily called upon
TO perform Not only VII the new members
of the department be required to go through
a course of training in the tower but it is
understood that the seasoned frefghters
will also be required to do stunts there
The training tower is innovation in the
