HERRING IMPEDE VESSELS.
Enormous Run in the Delaware and
Chesapeake canal-Shad Few This
Year.

Although the scant catch of shad is
puzzling fishermen to such an extent
that the federal bureau of fisheries
has sent experts to inquire into the
cause, the run of herring in the Della
ware and Chesapeake canal has been
so great that the progress of steamers
through the locks has been materially
impeded. Many Of the vessels that
pass through the canal on the way to
and from Philadelphia to Baltimore
are OF such dimensions that their sides
serape the walls OF the locks. As a.
result thousands Of behring's are killed
with the passage Of each steamer, ac-
cording to reports of the masters of
the various vessels of the Ericsson
line.
Residents of Delaware City and OF
Chesapeake City have seized the OPP
fnrtnnity to reduce the cost of living
and have already caught many tons OF
the herring. They are SO plentiful In
the canal locks that q continual
splashing sound is audible from their
movements. Frequently numbers of
the fish attempt to leap over the lock
gates, and in several Instances they
have been reported as jumping SO high
1di vi =tuS @S " ldHu oii tiiO
decks of passing craft.
Several establishments for sailing
and smoking, the herring have risen
overnight along the route of the canal
and large sums of money have been
Put into the projects. The investors are
confident of reaping splendid profits,
predicting that the price Of meats Will
go still higher and fish will come into
much greater use as food. Other plants
are working at full blast grinding the
fish to produce oil and selling the resi-
due to phosphate manufacturers.
MISREPRESENTATION is current as to the
reason for the seant catch Of shad this
season For the first time in many
years the Fish Hawk, the government
shads propagating steamer, failed to
visit the Delaware river. The fisheries
bureau experts are making observa-
lions along the Chesapeake canal and
II is expected that the, blame for the
lack of shnd will be placed upon the
unprecedented number or herring in
northern waters this year Philadel-

CINCINNATI FOLKS WALK.

Prior to that they thought nothing OF
walking miles each day, many theu=

tant points Later, before street rails
road facilities were omnibus lines 10
Mt. Auburn Walnut Hills, Clifton and
other high points for those who had
no carriages or buggies. From l7Ss
until into tie sixties our sturdy pee-
pie thought nothing of walking many
miles every day To and from their Ia
