Sturgeon For The Delaware

An earnest effort is to be made by Sec
rotary Redfield and Fish Commissioner
Smith to restore the sturgeon to the Del
aware River and thus re-established the
valuable sturgeon fishing al caviar indus
try that formerly existed along that
stream.
The experiment, to be made by the
United States Bureau of Fisheries will be
due largely to the persistent efforts of
Horace G. Knowles, of Delaware, recent
ly United States Minister to Bolivia, and
formerly Minister to Rumania. Ever
since be was stationed in Rumania, where
there is all extensive sturgeon catching
industry. Mr.. Knowles has been trying
to induce the United States Government
to attempt the experiment of restocking
the American streams, like the Delaware,
that nee swarmed with the fish, with
sturgeon imported from Rumania.
At last his efforts are to meet with sue
cess, the Department of Commerce and
Fish Commissioner Smith having taken
steps to obtain three carloads of Ruma-
MAN sturgeon to be placed in the Della
have not only disappeared from the Della
ware, but from nearly all other American
rivers on both coasts, where they former
ly were plentiful.
Twenty years ago sturgeon were taken
in the Delaware that weighed as high as
$50 poudds, and in ONE instances these
monsters yielded nearly 100 pounds OF
caviar that sold tor a high price. As soon
as the consent ot the Rumanian Govern
ment for expectation of the three car.
loads of sturgeon can be obtained the fish
will be placed in tanks, shipped to Amer.
lea and released in the Delaware, where
they will be carefully looked after by the
Bureau OF Fisheries.
COMMENT
The stocking of The Delaware river
with European sturgeon by the gov
eminent which gives no protection for
the growth of the fish is a questionable
expenditure. The ajoining states have
jurisdiction over fishing rights. New
Jersey and Pennsylvania some years ago
passed a concurrent law prohibiting the
catching of sturgeon after July LIST but
because the Delaware legislature failed
to approve it and Delaware fishermen
continued to take fish, New Jersey re-
pealed it.
New Jersey fishermen agree that
there should be a close season for stur.
| geon the same as for shad, but Della
ware fishermen, especially the political
fishermen, have been the greatest hill
drance to the protection of the food fish
in the Delaware river.
Because it has been impossible fol
men in the three states to agree on con.
current legislation some believe the
U nited States should have full jurisdic.
ton owe the fishing rights in the Del
aware river and that some rivers should
be closed during certain years to allow
a supply of food fish to grow, as is done
in Canadian waters.
What will be the use of the Govern
ment spending thousands Of dollars to
stock the Delaware river with sturgeon
from Europe if the fishermen be allow
ed to catch them without Eindrance at
any time of The year?

Something different in the way of newspaper
features is one that The North American
inaugrates in its Sunday edition for July l3.
Workers have been asked to contribute short
stories based upon incidents possible in the
occupancy of the writers. The first stories
are the outcome of an invitation sent to
keepers of apartment and boarding houses.

brought results in the shape of scores of man.
uscripts, and it is hoped that every stenogra-
pher will write a story. 1t is now intended to
make the invitation general, and all workers
except professional writer's are invited to con-
tribute stories of not more than 1900 words in
length to this very interesting department.
The conditions are few aud simple. Aside
from the length limit there are no conditions
except that the incidents upon which the
stories are founded shall be taken from the
occupation in which the writer is engaged.
Stories are to be paid for at SIS each, and the
best story of each Sundays quote is to be
awarded and additional superiority prize of
SIS.
Liberal editing is to be allowed, il being in
tended that the story merit of contributions
shall count higher than mere literary form.
Large Numbers of stories are sure to be sub
mitted, and it is safe to predict that the pro-
duct will be more readable than most OF fc

exact purport of which he did not

The only thing which would have
sweetened his mood would have been
a conversation, peaceful and uninter-
rupted, with his daughter. He had
not seen as much Of her as usual dur
ing the last few days, as she had been
confined to her room with cold. This
was the first evening she had been at
dinner for four days, and the old man

long, comfortable chat over the
black coffee, as was their wont.

from her seat, he asked her to play
