FISH and OYSTER NOTES.

Big catches of rock fish are reported
by Norfolk anglers. Some foot fell
lows were among the catch by hook
and-line.
There Is report that about one-third
of the laboring people are out of work.
Ii true. it will account in part for the
small demand for oysters, for even the
horny-handed son of soil often makes a
meal of them.
Oyster packers at Crisfeld. Cam
bridge and Oxford. Md. report a good
season so far. They are getting stock
from Virginia. Cape Charles also re-
ports brisk market for oysters and that
crabs are in abundance.
AT meeting of the State Fisheries
Commission. held at Hampton, new sur
veys were ordered in Piankitank river
and Milford Haven, in Mathews county.
and the commissioners also heard evil
dence in dispute as to territory in Nam
semond district. Considerable routine
business was also transacted at the
Hampton meeting.
| The largest fleet of oyster craft seen
in this port for many years is now in
Canton Hollow, ready to start upon the
dredging season, which opens on the
10th. The fleet numbers $50 vessels.
The oystermen are not discouraged by
reports that the spring freshets have
killed the oysters in the Potomac River
and in portions of the Bay.-Baltimore

A writ Of error and supersedeas has
been granted the Commission of Fish
cries against the Hampton Roads Oys-

The case involves the construction of
sections 2O82 B and 2193 A of the code in
relation to encroaching upon oyster
grounds. The case went up from the
Circuit Court of Nansemond. Norfolk

The Norfolk Board of Trade has cal
led meeting for tonight, Friday. 6
O'Clock, to take steps for the protec-
ton of food fishes and to recommend
to the next Legislature restrictions
upon all classes of nets. Members of
the Legislature will be present. The
State Commissioner of Fisheries and
attorneys for the various classes of
fishermen have been invited to present
their sides of the question.
One-sided controversies going on over
fish and oyster matters in Richmond
Norfolk and Newport News papers are
bringing our water interests to the fore.
The Governor. Legislature and Commits
tsion of Fisheries are being scored for
not restricting the fish METERS and re-
fusing to rent out the natural oyster
rocks. The officials are carrying out
the laws they have, but it looks much like
some drastic laws will be passed at the
next session of the Legislature because
of the howl made by certain newspapers
and kid-glove fishermen.

In order to save parties from prose
cution for violation of the hunting laws
attention is called to the fact that the
season for cartridges, pheasant, wood
cock. turkeys and rabbits does not open
until November LIST. This applies to all
counties. the law having been thus
amended by the last legislature. It Is
unlawful to sell. offer for sale or buy
partridges. pheasants or woodcock or to
ship any of them out Of the State. The
penalty for so doing is very heavy and
the game wardens should see that every
violater Of the law ia prosecuted and
punished. Non-residents of Virginia
are required to pay hunting license of
$40. as Virginians hunting in other
States are required by those states TO
pay a similar license. Non-residents
hunting without license should in the
interest of our game preservation be
reported to the local game warden so
that the license may be collected. The
law reads as follows:
Sec. 200a. 2. 1t shall be unlawfu,
