REOPENING OF FISH HATCHERY
DEPENDS ON LEGISLATURE.
Shad Industry Disappearing Because
State Fails To Protect Fish.


The Government has decided to
close the shad hatchery at Havre de
Grace, operated for years past by the
Federal Government until the State
of Maryland awakens to the fact that
it's shad industry is fast disappear
ing under the present prodigal FISH
laws and materially revise the pres
ent statutes Srelating to fish nets in
the Chesapeake bay and its tribu-
aries. &eIs q
On top of this, officials of the
Maryland Conservation Commission
said that following a tour of inspec-
ion of the five hatcheries located on
the Eastern Shore and heretofore
run by the State, it is probable that
all of them will be closed.
The State Conservation Commits
5ioners give the same reason as the
Federal Government for their action,
that it was an utter waste of the
peoples money to operate any of the
hatcheries SO long rs the State laws
permitted the fishermen to spread
nets across the river openings so
thickly that the shad were unable
to reach the shallow reaches of the
tributaries to spawn.
While the regulations of the Fed
eral War Department say just how
tar out into the bay or river an OBJ
3truction shall extend, because of
The refusal of the State to force the
fishermen to increase the distance
between their nets, the result is al
most a blockade of all streams and
rivers of the bay. Prevented from
reaching their spawning grounds,
the shad have been steadily decreas-
ing until last years catch was less
5han a third of the catch of 1897.
In addition to the fact that it is
useless to keep the hatcheries open,
when it is impossible to get the
pawning shad for their eggs, the
Commissioners point out that the
last Legislature failed to appropriate
l single cent for their maintenance.
Secretary of Commerce Redfield
has advised Representative J. Fred
c. Talbot that the federal govern
ment does not propose to dismantle
and remove the Havre de Grace fish
hatchery, which was ordered closed a
few days ago. Mr.. Talbot called to
see the Secretary and discuss his
'uture plans for the hatchery. Mr..
Redfield said the closing order is
temporary and if the next Maryland
legislature takes steps to protect
spawning fish the hatchery will
again be opened.

. Ground Hog Saw Shadow.

The ground hog didn't have a
particle of trouble seeing his shadow
on Friday last, if he came out. But
if he were a wise animal he laid low,
as Friday was cold and disagreeable,
dispite it's sunshine.
According to the old superstition,
SHOWS, rains, sleets, and every other
sort of cold and disagreeable wealth
er may be expected for six more
weeks, because the ground hog GER
tainly saw his shadow if he poked
his nose out.

The Trade Of the Peninsula

From Wilmington Every Evening.
At the annual meeting of the Del
marvia Press Association, held ir
Wilmington last Monday, a numbe
of newspaper publishers from the
Eastern Shore of Maryland were
present, and the spirit of mutua
interest and cooperation among tn
newspapers of the Peninsula wa
particularly marked. The discussion
at this meeting emphasized to a
unusual degree that Delaware an
the Eastern Shore are becomin'
better acquainted and more closel.
associated every year. and that the
interests of one are the interests
both.
Those who recall the dinner tend
cred by the Wilmington Chamber o.
Commerce to the newspaper publish
ers and prominent citizens of the
Delmarvia Peninsula at the Hotel dI
Pont, three Years ago, will recognize
in the above the practical result
which this affair was intended to
promote. That Wilmington ha
profited very largely by a better
acquaintance with our good friend
and neighbors throughout the
Peninsula there is not the leas
doubt, and may we not hope that o.
the other hand our friends and
neighbors have derived some ad
vantages in knowing Wilmingto
better? 1t developed at TIL. pres
association meetin&; that la"e
volume of trade on the Easter
Shore which formerly centered ir
Baltimore and other points had beeI
diverted to Wilmington, and to sucl
an extent that baltimore has recent
ly been making some investigation
to find out the reason for it's loss in
business.
Wilmington has asked for the
trade of rural Delaware and the
Eastern Shore in no selfish spirit
The advertising slogan has been
"If you cannot buy it at home, buy
it in Wilmington, and it has been a
slogan that has achieved results mu-
tually satisfactory. If Wilmington
merchants can give the people of the
Peninsula what they want in the way
of merchandise, and being much
easier of access than Baltimore and
other places, why should we not
have this business? The best reason
in the world that we should is the
fact that we are securing larger
share of it every year.
A plan is now being worked out
by the press association, the object
of which is to give Wilmington
more intimate knowledge of the
Delaware and Eastern Shore towns,
and it is sure to be productive Of
good results. There are many good
people in Wilmington and county
who know and appreciate the splen
did country between the two bays to
the south of us, but there are thous-
ands who are not the least familiar
with it except, perhaps, in a gen
eral way. An acquaintance to be
thoroughly agreeable must be thor
oughly mutual, and Wilmington
merchants and it's citizens generally
have much to gain by closer asso-
citation with the good people of rural
Delaware and the Eastern Shore.
Let us make no mistake about this.
Nowhere in this broad country of
ours has nature been more kind, nor
can a better or more hospitable
people be found than in the good old
Eastern Shore of our sister State of
Maryland.
