Its import duties are probably the heav-
lest of any country in the world.
But with all It's heavy taxes and its
density of population. the people of SAL

and happy. 1t seems that on landing at
La Union or at La Lbertad, or at AGA
Julia. the atmosphere Is somewhat differ
ent from that in other Central American

rage, a cheerfulness Of expression, and
withal more stamina in the people than
in some Of the neighboring republics. 1t
10 true that the foreigner cannot land at
any OF the ports without first having di-
rect permission from the capital, and
also that no one can depart without the
same sort Of credentials. And yet the
visitor is less impatient about this when
he learns that many efforts have been
made by neighboring republics. with axes

suit.

made arrangements for boats. bait and
boatmen on the upper Potomac for the
first Sunday Of the season.
Local fishermen hope the day will come
when bait will be found at points along
the river where other accommodations
are found. Such an accommodation

and the constant care Of it until the
fishing grounds are reached.
And the boatman who always has bait

perience. will find he will attract the

Last Sunday John w. Hurley went to
Chesapeake Beach. hoping he would be
able to catch few rockhsh. the water In
the upper river having been too muddy
for angling. AS soon as he landed at the
bayshore resort he was told by T. A.
Wickersham. an authority on fishing at
the resort, that there was no chance to
get any rockfish
The water is too STILL he said.
Col" Hurley gave the fish q trial,
however. but not q rockfish took the en-
ticing bait.
But he said later. ''the crabs had a
feasa They took my bait almost as. fast
as could put II on the hook
1t is said that crabs are being caught
there earlier this season than usual.
Detective Charlie Mullen and Jim crup-

yellow perch and one big catfish.
We hung two big rockflsh and caught

William Osborne paid two visits to the

several rockfish. The largest weixhed
about two and one-haif pounds.
Henry Tharle and John Thompson came

John Middleton. who probably has
done more fishing near this city than
any other person, and who for q num-
Der OF years has been known as "the

was one which was not recounted in
any Of Ike Walton's stories as they
we're printed before the days OF the
blessed barbed wire fence"
Having preceded his companion sew
eral minutes and made a detour to
avoid a swamphole, 1t became neces-
sary for the ''one fisherman" to get
through barbed wire fence. but be-
fore he reached the other side Of the
fence he shouted Justify for help.
His companion declares his head and
heels were interchanging positions
when he reached him. and the barbs
where SO securely imbedded in his
stout corduroy trousers that his
herculean efforts at release were Of no
avail.
"A condition and not a theory was
presented" commented his compan-
ION. but safety pins and fish lines
closed the breach and the homegofng
was no longer a question Of dark
nees.'
Should favorable conditions greet the
anglers tomorrow 1t is highly probable
that sport with rockfish will be great
enough to cause rejoicing. Last Sunday
the water was high and muddy-so
muddy, in fact. that but few left their
homes to give the fish trial. and those
who went to the river caught only a few
Mississippi catfish and small perch
The latter part Of the week a number
Of rockfish were caught in the deep water
Of the Georgetown channel, some Of them
weighing as much as two and one-half
pounds. Some Mississippi catfish weigh
ing as high as seven pounds were caught
near the outlet lock.
This Is the season for rockhsh," COM
mented John W. Hurley. and there is
every reason to believe. the river is full of
them Thousands Of them are being
caught In the nets, and 1t is only a ques-
tion of favorable water conditions. I be-
1ieve. for them to be hooked
Discussing rockfish, Hurley said he
thought herring gills the best bait, al
though the fish will take blood worms, cut
smelt and crab. The reason so many are
unsuccessful when fishing for rock, he
says, ID because they use too much lead
on their lines.
Extensive preparations are being made
by the hshermen for Decoration day out
ings. The season for bass will be open,
and II the water Is In good condition
anglers expect fine sport. Both small
mouth and large-mouth bass have had a
rest since the last of March.
And they probably will be hungry
enough to take any tempting bait" re-
marked an angler.

announced the mysterious and complete
wiping out of the trout and roach fishery
OF the Friendly Anglers Society on the
River Colne. None but fisherman could
appreciate the calamitous nature OF the
news, for within few hours 5000 trout
and as many fine roach were lying dead
on the surface OF the river and three
years of careful planting by the members
of the society had come to naught. The
fishery had Just developed into one of
the finest in the kdngdom. Chemists are
now busy analyzing the water in an eff

London Losing Population.
The remote suburbs of London are
growing, but the metropolitan district
proper Is rapidly becoming depopulated
according to the rate returns of the Lon

centage Of empty houses grows larger.

eminent board. states that families are
leaving the central London boroughs at
the rate Of 1900 a year. London in
population has apparently reached its
high-water mark
The premiere Of play here this week
was enlivened by the presence in an or
chestra stall of a man whose dress
clothes were set of by jet black shirt,
properly starched and fashionably frilled.
When he rose with the rising of the
lights after the first act all Of the white
shirts in the stalls followed him if he
had been the proverbial black swan. He
wore a white collar and white stock
tie and a white waistcoat, but, unlike
others who have attempted sartorial nov
elites he wore the usual black instead
of white duck coat and trousers. No one
recognized the mysterious wearer. and
fashionable London is wondering il his
presence was due to an attempt to in
troduce new fashion in evening dress.
