shad Season Poor,
Fishermen Hard Hit.

Il A649S~SAA AAe4S ~ AASS "
Georgetown, March 2S.-The shad
catching season came to close on
the Is inst, and the industry was not
as profitable as usual on account of
the short run that the fish have had.
Shad did not begin to arrive in the
rivers until about month ago, and
they have been scarce up to a few
days ago. The runs of the oath and
25th, the last two days, were twice as
good as those of any other two days
of the season. 1t was hard necessity
that caused the fishermen and dealers
to call the business off for the season
just as the shad had begun to run
satisfactorily. The fishing business
necessitates a considerable outlay,
and skilled fishermen from the North
are even brought down to handle the
nets, the natives not being able to
achieve as good results as they. The
tax put upon these fish by the legis-
lature also cut into the profit. There
fore the failure Of the shad to come
this year on time and to make good
runs earlier in the season has been a
keen source of disappointment to the
fishing fraternity.

showing for paper that carries over
its head this legend: "Oldest Okla
homa Newspaper" Where is the
news, Maude2 In the Journal or the
Democrat?-Englewood Chief.
The issue of the HERALD above re-
ferred to was published when the edi-
tor was very seriously i'll of pneumonia
and was gotten out by young lady
who did exceedingly well to publish
the paper at all considering the fact
that she is only an apprentice of few
months experience. Ordinarily we
would pay no attention TO the Chief
for children are not held accountable
and the infantile 4--column WEAKLY
comes under that class-but we feel
grateful that the HERALD was pub
lished at all and hence take the
trouble to explain.
