STORMS HELP
CLANS GROWTH
Salt Water, Let Into Sine
puxent Bay, Favorable to
Increase of Bivalves
NEW MARKET
is DEVELOPED

SNOW MILL. Nd, Jan. 2.-Resi-
dents Of the eastern section OF Wor-
cester county are pleased with the
recent large increase in the catch OF
clans in sinepuxent and Chinco-
league bays. The clam has for
many years been a negligible factor
among the local water products, but
they seem suddenly to have become
quite plentiful. and some tongers say
they are taking up nearly as many
clans as oysters. The price is at
tractive, too. being now sS per 1000.
Nature attends TO the lpropaga-
ton OF CLANS in her own way, but
one OF the things she requires Is
plenty OF clean salt water. This is
now present in the two bays in un-
limited quantity, thanks to the big
storm OF two years ago, which
wrought havoc in Ocean City. At
the same time the waves tore up
sections OF the beach front and
wrecked parts Of the boardwalk and
buildings too close to the water; they
tore open an inlet about four miles
down the beach. and through this
tho tide runs full and free, flowing
UP and down the bay twice a day.
1t is said the embankment made by
the State Roads Commission in con-
nection with the new bridge across
the bay at Ocean City helps clean
out the channel. acting as Jetty.
Until the storm broke through the
sandspit there was no communica-
ton between the waters Of the bay
and tho ocean above Chincotaguo
Island. at the southern end OF the
bay. In consequence of this the
large amount OF fresh water running
into the bay made the water toe
fresh TO suit the clam as place OF
residence. A few years ago enter
prising citizens dug a narrow inlei
near ocean City. but nature declined
10 avail herself OF it and speedily
filled Il up with sand. Now she hai
made a much better one free o
charge.
Formerly there was an opening II
tho beach. about 40 miles below
ocean City, known as Green RuI
inlet, but this became choked will
sand about so years ago. Until tRa
time CLAIMS were plentiful in the bay
and older residents remember wheI
picnic parts used TO go TO the beacl
for a days sport and return will
carloads OF clans, which were sol'
for 8 to 10 cents a hundred, or what
ever they would bring.

Of Louis Fleisher Company. The

The magnitude of the building op-

is shown by the more than $3,000,000
worth of buildings it has erected the
past year, which include some of the
most expensive and artistic apartment
and fiat buildings in Minneapolis and

the road to new building era. Agents
from Detroit, Pittsburgh and other
Eastern cities came at once to Min
neapolis to discover how it was pos
sible that public school buildings could
be erected so cheaply.
The career of Mr.. Fleisher from
an immigrant in this country to one
of the foremost builders in a period
of eighteen years is not short of mar
velous especially so since he is now
at an age where most men are be-
ginning their careers, thirty-four
years.
Mr.. Fleisher was born in Kovno,
Lithuania, in 1888, and came to this
country at the age of 16 years, going

to work as carpenter. His first job
as a contractor was the remodeling
of his own home in 1908.
Since then Mr.. Fleisher's opera
tions have developed from year 10
year until now the name of his COM
pany is by-word in the Twin Cities
and the Northwest. During 1921 his
operations aggregated more than $5,-
100000, which included such buildings
as the State Theater, Buckingham
Hotel, Belmont Hotel, Of Minneapolis;
and Commodore Hotel, st. Paul. Big
schools and commercial buildings
throughout the Northwest also have
been constructed by Mr.. Fleisher's
company during the past year.
Among the names of the foremost
general contracting firms of the
Northwest, must also be included that
