Sturgeon Stories as
Remembered in Bath

Years ago there used to be plenty of
sturgeon in the waters of the kennebec
near Thwing's Point where this year
there are none, says the Bath Times.
"All caught up" is the annual story,
but after the run of shad, some sturg-
con will possibly be caught. In former
years the fish showed a desire to get
farther up river than Thwing's Point
to spawn. They had found the King Of
the Bay Ridley. Edgecomb, Horace
Mitchell, Fowles and the Reed Brothers
caught them if they remained near
Thwing's Point The result was that
Richmond and South Gardiner men
caught some. Several springs Bath
fishermen had to chase them up as far
as Gardiner. Forty years ago they re-
manned in Long Reach disporting
themselves and many citizens still liv-
ing used to go down to the wharves and
out in boats on the river to watch
sturgeon leap out of the water in their
play. About that time, or rather little
later. men caught them by wholesale
and had sturgeon headquarters on an
island just above the narrows. Then
the sturgeon began to be less plentiful
in the Kennebec and almost disappeared
from the river. The last 10 years they
seem to have been finding their way
back again. In the old days sturgeon
were so plentiful opposite Bath that
they often in jumping out of water
would land in passing boat. One af-
ternoon some 80 years ago, off Sasanoa
Bluffs one good sized sturgeon thus
leaping out of water, landed in lady's
lap in a sailboat.

waters, with various efforts to Try 70
settle the trouble, but no definite ana
lasting result has ever been reached.
In fact, orders in council have served
as a uodus vivendi from time to time'
instead Of having some kind OF per
manent and lasting treaty that should
end the disputes once and for all. Inc
local fish people are not today as much
interested in this question as they
were in the long ago. when they had
lot Of vessels running to the Grand
Banks and other places to the east

It is understood that the DOM
inion government is willing in con-
sideration Of certain concessions made
by the government Of the United
States, principally in regard to allow
ing Canadian officers free access to
this country in order to enlist and re-
cruit soldiers for the British army. to
forego some Of the ancient prescrip-
tive rights and to go at least half
way in the fishery trouble. 1t is not
known definitely just how much has
been let out by the Canadian officials
thus far. but that they are willing to
be convinced is plain, and provided
the present government stands in
Canada for any length Of time, it is
more than probable that something
will at last come out Of it, Some Of the
old time fish people say that when
Canada grants equal fishing rights to
American ships they will look to see
free Ireland and numerous other Won
derful things, always thought to be i'm

mer visitors at Attean Camps in 1914, it
became possible to secure a lot After
some struggles in which an outdoor car
nival and donations by local persons and
summer guests featured largely, the fund
was considerably increased and IN 1916 a
building committee was selected, COM
posed of Mr.. and Mrs. W. l.. Brown, r..
Gilman. W. L. Anderson and H. L. Colby.
Contractor Harry A. Young was given
the contract and the building was COM

since occurred at which the citizens
gathered together to examine their new
addition and the talented persons of the
vilege with some outside assistance fur
nished an entertainment of rare merit.
The building is one story in height, con-
tanning two rooms on the ground floor
and two in the basement. Easement win
dows have been used, the floors are Of
hard wood and the interior finish is
stained in weathered oak. The stack
room is fitted with wall book cases and
the reading and social room Is equipped
with chairs, organ and fireplace. A social
or club room in the basement has been
equipped with billiard table for the use
of the male element, at the same time
providing a meeting place for the grow
ing lads under wholesome environments.
A kitchen well fitted up is also located in
the basement, while the building is fur
Their equipped with two lavatories, electric
lights and hot-air heating plant.

May Settle American
Canadian Fishery Question
(Pnrtland PreSsl

(POrtland PreSS)
There Is very good chance that the
war and its attendant circumstances
will result in the winding up Of the
century old dispute between Canada
and the United States over the fishery
question. One Of the representatives
of the Department of State has been in
this city for the past two days inter-
viewing people who are interested in
the fish business and getting their
views as to what the United States
ought to give and what it ought to
ask, If the vexed question is at last to
be settled. The official intimated that
the Dominion authorities had sounded
the department as to what their terms
would be if something was offered from
the Canadian side. In Gloucester,
where the official has been for some
days. the sentiment seems to be that
equal terms should be offered: that is,
that the United States should have full
privileges in the Canadian ports and
that the Canadian fishermen should
have the same privileges in our ports.
In other words that there should be
fun and free reciprocity in all things
pertaining to the fishing business.
1t will be recalled that from early
colonial times there has been all kinds

Washington, June H-"When dis

There Is no widely adapted garden
crop that will do so we'll on poor soil ana
nothing that is SO nearly fool PROOF as
beans," says sta tement of the depart
ment. The limits Of the planting season
also are elastic. The gardener may give
his backward onions or beets another
chance to make good and still nave time
to fill in their places with beans, if they
fail. Beans of the garden and held sorts
may be planted in the latitude or WASH
ington for a mature crop until the mlooie
of July, and string beans may be piahteo
all through August. In the latitude 81
New York, beans may be planted
throughout June.

Make Quarter Pint
Of Lotion, Cheap

What girl or woman hasn't heard of
lemon Juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to bleach the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice
alone is acid. therefore irritating, and
should be mixed with orchard white
this way. Strain through fine cloth
the Juice of two fresh lemons into a
bottle containing about three ounces OF
orchard white, then shake well and you
have a whole quarter pint Of skin and
complexion lotion at about the cost
one usually pays for small jar OF
ordinary cold cream. Be sure to strain
the lemon juice so no pulp gets into
the bottle, then this lotion will remain
pure and fresh for months. When
applied daily to the face. neck. arms
and hands it should help to bleach.

ANY druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons.

"RoiIed Crow"

According to D. Thomas Curtin, au
thor of The Land of Deepening Shad-
oW" Ca study of actual conditions in
Germany at the third year of WARP, the
jubil!ation over real and imagined
victories there is growing wilder and
wilder as the menace of starvation be-
comes more and more real.
Though all Germans, with the ex-
ception of a few profiteers, are grumb-
ling at the length of the war, it must
not be supposed that they have lost
hope. In fact their grumblings are
punctuated frequently by very bright
hopes. When Douaumont fell, food
troubles were forgotten. The bells
rang, the flags were unfurled. faces
frightened. crowds gathered before
the maps and discussed the early tall
Of Verdun and the collapse of France.
Again l heard on every hard the echo
Of the boasts of Hhe first year of the
war.
THE glorious manner in which
France hurled back the assault was
making itself felt in Germany with a
consequent depression over food short
age when the greatest naval victory
in history-so we gathered, at least,
from the first German reports-raised
the spirits and hopes of the people so
high that they fully believed that the
blockade had been smashed. On the
third day of the celebration, Saturday,
June 3rd, l rode in a tram from Will
mersdorf, a suburb in Berlin, to the
heart Of the city through miles of
streets faring with a solid mass of
colour. From nearly every window
and balcony hung pennants Of red,
white and black. Even the ancient
horse buses ratified through the streets
with the flags Of Germany and her
allies. on each corner of the roof. The
newspapers screamed headlines of
triumph, nobody could settle down to
business, the faces one met were
wreathed in smiles, complaining was
forgotten, the assurance Of final victory
was in the very air.
''Unter den Linden, the decorations
