CAPT. WILMER RIDGWAY
DROPS DEAD IN DEPOT

Captain William Ridgway, well
known Chesapeake & Ohio Rail
road conductor, dropped dead in
the depot at Olive Hill Wednes-
day afternoon. He had been TAX
ing a vacation because of slight
illness and had been hunting for
a few days. His death was en-
tirely unexpected as he had not
been believed to be seriously ILL.
1t is believed his death was due
to heart trouble. His wife sur
wives him.
Captain Ridgway came to Ken
lucky from Wilmington, Del,
about twenty years ago. He had
many friends along the line of
the c. & O., and was a popular
member of the Order of Railroad
conductors. He was a close
friend of many Mt. Sterling citi-
zens, who will learn of his death
with deep regret.

INTERESTING FIGURES.

In his first report to the Gen
eral Assembly since the Depart
ment was created, Executive
Agent J. Q. Ward, of the Game
and Fish Commission, is pre-
pairing some figures to show what
the conservation OF game aid
fish means to the people of the
State in food values as well as
in other ways. He collected in
formation from every available
source and had taken the state
ments of fishermen who have a
livelihood on the rivers as to
what their catches amount to
in a year. Then estimates Of
the yearly average yields of the
kinds of nets, which have been
conhscated in the streams of Ken
lucky. vary from 500 to 1000
pounds. Mr.. Ward, estimates
approximately a thousand nets
were in use. This would yield
an annual total of 100000 pounds
from the stream and at ten cents
the pound that would mean
$4,000. AT the price OF other
kin DIS of meats, the values OF
these 10000 pounds of fish to
the four hundred thousand fami-
lies of the State, shows an ag-
gregate saving of considerably
more than the total price of the
fish at ten cents the pound as
the $4,000 worth of fish would
be a substitute for an equal ra-
ton of some other kind of meat
costing, perhaps, five times as
much. The value of rabbits and
other kinds of game, estimating
that the game taken in a year
would amount to one meal for
every family in the State, is al
so considered by Mr.. Ward.
