DELAWARE RIVER SHAD IS
DECLARED ALMOST EXTINCT
POOR OUTLOOK FOR MANY OF
THE DELICIOUS FISH THIS YEAR
Herring May Be More Plentiful and
the Sturgeon Season Promises Good
But Shad Fall Off Materially

According to present indications |
there will not be a new shad fishing |
net on the Delaware river from Della |
ware City the coming season. The
price of the net ranges from $3.50 to
$3.50 a pound, compared with SIPS or
$1.50 per pound five years ago. Many
fishermen say they will use last years
nets or not fish at all, and as last
years nets will be good for not more
than three weeks fishing, it now looks
as though there will be very few shad
caught from these shores. Along
about this time each year the fisher
men prepare for the changing in" of
their nets, but thus far no nets have
been bought and there is little likeli-
hood of any being bought. The pres
ent outlook is that there will not be
more than eight nets used by the fish
ermen of this place, while in past
years as many as 25 boats fished from
Delaware City.
Better Outlook for Herring
The outlook for the herring season
is said to be much brighter, as many
fishermen here own herring nets that
are in good condition. These nets if
treated properly, will last from four
to seven seasons. Last year was a
very poor herring season, as the catch
did not exceed 100000, while in past
years millions were taken from these
waters.
This season probably will be much
better than last years, as the river
banks about two miles below Delaware
City have been repaired. Their condi-
ton was given as one of the reasons
for the decrease in the fish last year
as the fish, upon reaching that point
would go into the meadows instead Of
t coming to the locks to seek the fresI
I water of the canal.
t Sturgeon Prospects Good
Despite the discouraging outlool
e for a profitable shad and herring sea
e son, the fishermen are eagerly looking
: forward to the sturgeon season. TIL
last two years have been the mos
S profitable ones in the history of tn
sturgeon fishing industry and there
: every reason to believe the comm
5 season will be as good, if not better
d 1t is estimated that at least 25 net
will fish from this place, compare
lie with seven or eight, four years ag
5, At least ten new nets were purchase
last year, while as many more wei
Dt brought out that had not been use
+. for ten or twelve years. Some of II
n. sturgeon caught last year sold il
r $500, and there probably will be lit
a or no decrease either in the catch
fish or the prices.

RAILROAD HEADS TO EASTON
Invited to Make Inspection of Rail and
Boat Connection on Eastern Shore

Boat connection on Eastern OnOre
Milton Campbell, president of H. X.
Milford Company, Philadelphia, and
owner of the Anchorage" estate, near
Easton, Md, is interested in the trans
portation problem, has interviewed
the officials of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company with view to improv-
ing the service between Easton and
Philadelphia. Mr.. Campbell says:
81 have recently interviewed s0rae
of the directors of the Pennsylvania
railroad with whom l am acquainted,
including the first vice-president and
the traffic manager. Later on | hope
to have President Rea and several
other officials of the road and a num-
Der of the directors visit the Eastern
Shore, with the view of having them
| inspect the various railroad and boat
connections and determine how they
can render the most efficient service,
and adopt future policy that will af-
| feet an improvement in both passen-
ger and freight traffic conditions.
These gentlemen have never visited
the Eastern Shore and do not under
stand the opportunities for develop
ment of that section.
81 also have in view the establish
ment of an express service, starting at
Cambridge and going as far as Hur-
lock, where it will run on the B. c. and
A. tracks to Easton, from there to
Philadelphia, stopping perhaps at
Greensboro, Clayton, Middietown, Por
ter, Wilmington, Chester ard Phila-
delpha. Such an express service, to-
gether with a parlor coacn, would bC
found profitable and would undoubted
" stimulate traffic and bring man!
people to that part Of the country
The officials are very much intereste'
in the express service and are givinl
the matter careful consideration.
Possibly the officials may visit tn
Eastern Shore within TIE next mont
but as my house is closed, I am at
2 loss to know how to take care of then
t The best thing to do is to ask som
i of the Easton people to entertai
e them in their homes. 1t would be
matter of only two or three days an
5 most of the time they would be toul
d ing the section in automobiles"
