Preparations Being Made by Local Fish
ermen for BUSY Season-GilI-Net
Fishing Will Start in Two Weeks

Preparations are being made by
fishermen for. the capture of large
schools of shad and herring which are
reported making their way up the bay
for the entrance of its tributaries.
Fishermen say that the season this
year will be somewhat late, owing to
the cold weather and the heavy winds
which have been prevailing. Accord
ing to opinions expressed by local fish
ermen, the prospects are fer a profit
able spring work. Owing to the great
amount of ice still in the river. gill
net fishermen expect no run of shad
for at least two weeks. AS 10 known,
the shad live in the sea, but ascend
the river in the spring to spawn.
They have their spawning beds, but
the eggs may be extruded anywhere
promiscuously in the water. One fe-
male averages 80, 600 eggs, although
as many as 156, 600 have been OBJ.
tanned. The eggs sink to the bottom,
where they hatch in from three to FIVE
days, varying with the temperature of
the water. The fishermen attach much
Importance to the move made by the
United States Bureau of Fisheries to
re-establish the shad and other profit
able food fish in the Delaware. They
say that the stream for it's entire
length can be made to produce mil
lions of pounds of fish for a cheap
food supply. 1t is understood that
among the fish with which the govern
ment will experiment in the Delaware
is the humpback. or Pacific salmon.
The New Jersey State Fish and Game
Commission is stocking inland lakes
with this species.

KENToN GIRL HIGHLY PRAISED

Miss Frances r. Graham, Daughter of
John w. Graham, ESQ.,. Writes Paper
At the recent meeting of the Sons
of Delaware at the Rittenhouse in
Philadelphia (31O being present. there
were many interesting references to
Kent county. President Emerson, a
Kent man, laid it on nice and thick
and the Sussex and New Castle folks
felt that it was a Kent occasion all
right. And finally out came paper
on Kent as gnod as ever was written.
IT. was by Miss Frances Reynolds
Graham, of the William Penn High
School for Girls, daughter of John w.
Graham, Jr.. of Germantown, form
erly of Kenton. All OF Miss Graham's
ancestors on both sides for two gener-
atiOns were Kent people, and the
chapter she read so charmingly was
made up of first-hand facts. Here is
a bit from Miss Graham's paper:
Frederick was originally Johnny Cake
Landing; Harrington was Parks
Corner; Smyrna was Duck Creek
CROSSROADS; Kenton was Lewis
Cross Roads; Camden was Mifiin's
CROSSROADS. The settlers wanted
Dover called Canterbury, but William
Penn himself insisted upon Dover, and
Dover il was. But there is a Canter-
bury nearby, as every Delawarean
knows. Kits Hammock was Town
Point. Close at hand is Jones' Neck,
lit which was made the very earliest
settlement, is Kent.

BOTTLE LAW REPEALER AND
RESUBMISSION ACTS PASS
DRY" FORCES WIN NOTABLE
VICTORY IN THE LEGISLATURE
House Bills, One the Bottle Law Re-
pealer Passed Senate II to 5, and
Resubmission for Wilmington

The final and by far the most heated
battle between the wet" and "dry'
forces at the present session of the
Delaware General Assembly took place
yesterday when the Senate "drvs''
passed the House bill providing for
resubmission of the liquor question in
Wilmington and rural New Castle
County by vote of ten to seven, and
the Bottle Law Repeater II to 5.
The "drys" won a sweeping victory
and it is predicted by another year or
so Delaware will be stone drv and
but step to state wide prohibition.
The strength of the two factions in
the line up at Dover yesterday was
more equally divided, however, the
President Pro TEN Barnard, who is
wet, announced that he voted in
favor of the bill in order that he
might move for reconsideration later.
The "drys" die not win their victory
without fight, as evrey step was
contested by the "wets," who made
an Intellectual effort to pass two SUBJ
stitute bills and su amendment to the
original bill. The battle began be-
fore noon, and it was after l. 80 Q. m.
before the vote was taken. which
forced a special election upon the
license issue. The vote OH the original
bill was as follows: Yeas-Senators
Brown, Frazier. Hickman, Hoffecker,
Long, Mitchell, Newton, Pool. Walker.
Barnard - 10. Nays - Senators
Gormley, Hollett. Hart, Joseph.
Murphy, Webb and Wharton-7. Be-
fore voting Senator Wharton read a
statement in which he set forth his
views and explained his reasons for
voting as he did. For several days
Senators Hart, Mitchell and Wharton
have been classed as doubtful, - al
though on an out-and-out "wet" and
dry issue they were classed "'dry. "
Of these three, Senators Hart and
Wharton cast their ballots against
forcing the election, while Senator
Mitchell, who of the three had been
looked upon as being most opposed to
the bill, voted in the affirmative.
This was the second victory for the
"drys" yesterday, they having pre-
viously passed by vote of II to 5
the bill to repeal the bottle law, which
permitted retail liquor dealers to sell
liquor in quantities less than one
quart to be carried off the premises.

House Approves of the Plan to Tax

The series of bills to amend the

tion passed the House yesterday. The

mobile license fees based on weight.
This bill is a companion bill to the
new state highway act and is intended
to produce revenue for the new road
building project. 1t provides that a
motorcycle owner shall pay a license
of SIS year while all other motor
vehicles pay at the rate of 81. so per
500 pounds or fraction thereof. The
Senate is expected to pass it.
