Notables ON the Banks
Commodore Dave" Camerson
Sketch No. I
By ARTHUR THORNTON.

Among those who have gone deer
sea fishing for many years in these
waters there Is Commodore David Cam
oron, a man whose company at sea is
most delightful. and who knows the
fishing game on both salt and sweet
water most thoroughly.
Commodore "Dave" has fished for
salmon in the 'TIielands o. Bonnie
Scotland" and tells many thrilling
yarns OF his youthful poaching esca-
pades In the land o. cakes. and also
quite few ABBOT" his scandalous af-
trays with gamekeepers, for he was a
lawless "chiel" in those days.
1t Is. however, with salt water fishing
we have TO deal now, and II should be
said of this modest and unassuming an
gler that his regard for appearances IL
so negligible that he is just as likely as
not to be seen with his rod over his
shoulder and his bundle of tackle and
lunch trudging toward the Evelyn's
dock at Sheepshead Bay with no neck
tie on, or he may even have forgotten
his coat. but II Is a sure thing that he
has remembered TO bring his corn cob
pipe-indeed. some say he keeps II In his
mouth all night for fear he will forget II
In the morn.
To see this we'll known figure in his
glory Is to see him on the Seventeen
Fathom Bank in winter in a gale of
wind pulling up big cod or maybe a big
b'ackhsh then 1t is that his Scottish
face lights up. and then II Is that the
brogue that belongs to the land OF Bob
bic Burns comes out fun and rich.
Dave" has fished on all the bank
boats that have sailed these waters for
the past thirty years. and he knows
what 1t Is to slaughter EN-" and he al so
knows the DAYS when there ia "nothInR
doing" His speciality is to go to New
Rochelle for blackfish. where he has sew
eral places called "Cameron's banks"
and II Is sure thing for him to bring
in large catches OF 'blackles."
The Commodore Is of that kind whom
you are always glad to met. Wherever
he is, he Is a welcome addition to the
party. His tackle bag is public property,
and the misfortune is that there are not
more OF that Tx.
He has the true sportsman's instincts
will get up at 3 A. NJ. In January,
when there is a cold rain or even snow,
and will hike from the Bronx to Sleeps
head Bay In the hope of sticking a
hook into a big cod. Sometimes he
does II and sometimes he doesn't!
A great believer in six hooks for cum
ners, is a fine rod maker, can catch
ling faster than most men but hates to
do II.
Seldom takes a fish home, only eats
"Finnan haddie'' and Scotch "herrin',"
Only knows one song, annie Laurie"
his favorite flower Is the 'thustle," and
always oatmeal for breakfast and haEKIs
for dinner. calls his hat his bonnet"
and the only music he will listen TO is
the skirl o. the pipes. Hoot, mon, we
Gamma beat him!

Cats Head Mortality List.

house cats ESTIMATED by DR.. A. X.
Fisher of the United States Biological
Survey as. 100000 birds annually in
the State OF New York alone) will be

The large number of red squirrels and
crows that have also been taken will
mean much to the preservation of the
valuable bird life OF the State. DR.. E.
w. Nelson of the United States Boiogl-
cal Survey declares that during the sum-
mer red squirrels spend a large par. of
their time In predatory nest hunting and
that the number OF useful and beautiful
birds that they destroy must be almost
incalculable."
In bulletin lately issued by tho
Board Of Game Commissioners of Penn
sylvania the crow is, branded as the
leader OF all vermin. "who DESTROYS in
dividually more birds of ali kinds, more
birds eggs and young poultry than any
other bird that ever tapped a wing"
woodchucks for Food.
With regard to the woodchucks that
were Killed. Commissioner Pratt states
mat not only was a very genuine bene-
nj conferred upon the farmer but some
additional food was provided. for in
many cases these animals were turned
/ over to persons who wished to cook them
as food.
Another significant fact is developed
IN perusing the verrn!n list submitted
oy the Conservation Commission, and
that Is the more or less steady rise In
the number OF vermin killed from month
to month.
For instance. In July. 1918, the first
month in which the protectors were pro-
Vided with the new rifles only 100 pred
atory creatures were killed, whereas in
March 1919, the latest month to be re-
corded. no less than 2S5 vermin were dis
posed of-the largest total in tho list.
This would indicate that with con-
tinued practice the protectors are be-
coming more proficient with their guns
and as time goes by can be expected to
perform even greater execution in the
good work OF vermin destruction.
Good Example for sDortsmen.
OF far greater value than the use of
these rifles by one hundred State game
protectors will be the fact OF encourage
ing. by example, all sportsmen to Join in
the vermin campaign.
No matter how conscientious in the
work OF vermin destruction they may
be. depletion of the great army of YER
min that can be accomplished by 100
game protectors must be at best a mere
drop in the bucket" Not until all
sportsmen have enlisted in the campaign
against vermin can appreciable results
be expected.
Already the Conservation Commission
by appeals upon every hunting license
and In other ways. is. urging sportsmen
to shoot all they can Of foxes, cats
hunting protected birds, harmful hawks,
red squirrels and other enemies of use
full wild life.
Emphasis will be added. when sports
men meet the armed protectors afield. TO
the fact that unremitting warfare upon
predatory creatures Is absolutely neces-
sary both for the preservation OF game
and for the maintenance of their own
sport.

Nine months ago Commissioner George
d. Pratt armed one hundred of the State
game protectors with 25-20 winchester
rifles. which they were instructed to
carry with them at all times when in the
field and use for the killing Of preda-
cious creatures which destroy game and
other useful wild life.
Out Of a total game protective force Of
131. the hundred men. to whom the rifles
vere assigned were those whose dis
trtcts covered territory where Wild life
was most abundant. At the same time
q list was sent from the Office OF the
Conservation Commission TO each pro-
tector tabnlating the creatures which
were regarded as ''vermin" and to which
he was directed to -confine the use Of his
rife.
In astatement Just issued by the Cor
servation Commission II is shown that
no less than 1905 predatory animals
and birds have been killed by the pro-
tectors since they were provided with
the rifles.
