Wonderful Work Of the
U. S. Fish Commission.
100000 Fry Freed Last
Year In Boothbay HarboT.
Over 100000 Turned Loose
In the Various Waters.

Washington, d. c., June Thomas
II. Doyle of Boothbay Harbor, Me-, has
been appointed custodian of the lob
ster pound near that place, which is
being increased to capacity of 10000
Holsters. The appointment was made
by Fish Commissioner Bowers, who
has just returned from an inspection
along the New England coast. He
has made public figures showing the
enormous extent Of fish propagation
from Maine to Massachusetts, all pre-
vious records having been broken.
At Woods Hole, Mass, $4,000, 900
fiat fish have been propagated and it is
estimated that 20,000,000 Holsters will
be Matched before the end of the sea-
son. At Gloucester 75,000,00O cod and
200, 100000 fiat fish have been Matched
by the government.
I'VE propagatcd 110.000,000 Holsters
and turned them loose at the Boothbay
Harbor hatchery in Maine during the
last year. said Mr.. Bowers. I'VE be-
gan the propagation Of Holsters four
years ago, when the catches We're di-
minishing. and have annually increas-
ed the number of young Holsters turned
loose to mature. In Boston, where l
stopped on my way back, l went
through several fish markets and
found the price of Holsters ranged from
8 to IA cents. -Four years ago, when
we began to propagate. they ranged
from % to so cents. and We're gradual
ly increasing on account Of the de-
creased catches"
Two billion five hundred and eleven
million fish fry or young fish We're
placed in various waters throughout
the country during the last year, the
commissioner says, at a cost of $16S
per million, as against 561000,000 ten
years ago at a cost of 1878 per million.
The government hatchery at Cape
Vincent Lake Ontario, will be en-
larged during the coming summer.
Congress appropriated $1,000 for ad-
ditional ponds, etc.
