Because of the usual kindness and
thougtfulness of the CITIZENS editor

mission loving ladies to attend the

ence in Norfolk last week. This, the
largest representation from the Kappa
hannockDistrict, the excellent work and
encouraging reports, made most favor
able impression on the Conference floor.
After the State Treasurer's report Civ

sung by the audience. This district

"OYSTER PACKER.
Colonial Beach Record.)


This is a name that sounds good to
US; it has ring of business about it,
and it has become an actual fact in
Colonial Beach. It's pity we cannot
use it in the plural sense, but J. H.
Hammond & Co. have opened up an
oyster packing establishment at Tay-
lor's old oyster house, near Gouldman' s
mill. This section of the Potomac
river is entitled to more industries of
this kind, and every encouragement
should be given to such industries in our
midst; they bring money here to circu-
late among our people during the winter
months, when the pleasure-seekers have
retired to the city. 1t is unreasonable
TO suppose that this town can ever be-
come wealthy with only three months
of real business each year, and that
business dependant on a private steam
boat line. 1t is no need of mincing
matters, this is fact that cannot be
disputed. The people who live here the
year round must have a means of earn
ing money the entire year, and it is only
stable industries that furnish that en-
ployment. AS summer resort this
place cannot be excelled, but there is
ample room for business of more sub
stantial character. Monroe Bay is the
answer. Oyster packing houses on its
shores will cause an appropriation to
have it dredged as a harbor for large
vessels, as well as public outlet for
Colonial Beach. Baltimore is rejoicing
over the prospects of a return of old
scenes in the oyster packing business
this year. and large proportion of her
supply of oysters is taken from the
Potomac river. If these oysters fur
nish an industry for Baltimore why can
not they furnish an industry for Colonial
Beach?

DISCUSSES
FISH SCARCITY.

&Protect the Egg and the Young
Fish and Regulate the Hauling

Norfolk Landmark. October 27.)

tNorioik LANDMARK. october I'D
Chairman w. Mcdonald Lee. of the
State Commission of Fisheries, was in
the city as result of the recent east
eriy winds. and consented to state his
opinions as to the scarcity of fish in
Virginia waters, this fact being now
generally accepted.
Delving into the subject in which he
is greatly interested, Mr.. Lee said that
if the waters offered proper food con-
ditions and were not disturbed by OBJ
noxioes noises the scarcity of fish was
not likely.
''The molusks that crawl or do not
crawl, and the fishes that swim in the
sea, are more or less mystery in their
habits to man., said Mr.. Lee. Eminent
scientists have spent entire lives trying
to learn the habits and peculiarities
of the worlds sea-food, and died but
little the wiser in many respects.
"At home here, the United States
government spends millions to learn
where certain food fishes propagate
and migrate, and why they disappear
at times from their old haunts and
show up in places that had heretofore
not known them; also in efforts to keeF
up the taking supply by artificial propa

At Newcastle-under-Ly a chapel

gasoline craft of recent years. How far
this, or the presence of fixed devices for
fishing, are abhorrent to the fish we
have no way of determining. o
$50, after all, there are but few rea-
sons that can be given with certainty
as affecting our supply of food-fish.
Like the wind, they come and go. and
no man knoweth whittier. Our capes
and estuaries are as mere pin-points on
the ocean shores, and the swarms of
fish that course adjacent thereto, for the
most part miles off from the beach,
are not going to turn our way if the
slightest Objectionable feature pre-
sents. We are not going to catch them
with hook-and-line, or even with nets,
if conditions are unfavorable.
I'VE would have no sora and no bag
ging of them unless we had high tides,
and the partridge gunner will hunt in
vain solong as an east or northeast wind
blows. Then, too-like our mocking
bird and robin, hunting other camping
ground because of the pestiferous Eng
lish sparrow of multiplicity of hawks
timid denizons of the sea are not going
to stay in uncongenial waters or CON-
pany.
"All that human effort can accom-
plish is to lesson the difficulties in the
way of their migration, and so far as
practicable and wise preserve the egg
and the young. We cannot think of
suppressing or seriously crippling our
commercial fisheries, for too many
homes and too many interests are de-
pendent upon them. If we do not get
the fish many of them will come and
go for other States to profit by"

THREE WORLDS RECORDS
ARE BROKEN BY ANGLERS
Fly and Bait Casting Tournament
Held at Harlem Mere Results
in Old Distances Being
Surpassed

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 15.-Three worlds
records were claimed by the members
of the Anglers club of New York in
their third annual fly and bait casting
tournament at the Harlem mere in Gen.
trail park.
The weather conditions were not con-
ducive to casting, variable Winds affect
ing the flight of the lines, but this did
not prevent DR.. r. Johnson Held from
SURPRISING anything that has ever been
done, so far as is known, in bait cast
ing for distance with a quarter ounce
bait.
At his first cast he covered dis
lance of 141 feet, at his second $50 feet,
and his last of five tests netted him 16l
feet The previous American record for
amateurs was 131 feet inches, made
outdoors, and 1877 feet for professionals,
made indoors. DR.. Held was not the
only one to eclipse these records, Ed
Rice making a cast of 142 feet on his
second attempt
The salmon fly casting for distance,
open to amateurs, and professionals, re-
suited in some excellent performances.
Among the competitors was William
Plevins of Northamptonshire, England,
who came to New York especially to
take part in the tournament. The
Briton will carry home with him the
title of amateur champion of the world
with a salmon rod fifteen feet long, for
his best cast yesterday was 129 feet,
supplanting the old record of 120 feet.
The professional record with the same
length of rod was also increased to lao
feet by E. j. Mills, the old mark being
1874 feet 8 inches, made by John Knight
of Ireland.
