BOWERS BEACH

The spring weather that we have
had the past two weeks is having its
effect on all businesses about this
place. Everybody seems to be busy,
some fishing, and preparing their
pharaphernalia for the spring work
while others are clustering. catching
plants End making good wages. Some
are working on their fishing boats, re-
pairing and painting them and getting
in position for hook and line fishing,
which will open about the middle of
this month in good earnest.
Quite a number of the benedicts
from up state also from Maryland and
Pennsylvania have already made APP
plicatiOn for reservations and want to
take up the fishing just as soon as
they begin to take the hook. Quite
a number were here tahe last week
end looking the matter over, securing
anchorage for their boats and over
hauling their house boats that they
use for living quarters while here. Il
is generally believed from all ihdica-
lions that this year is going to be i
bumper season for FISH seine fishing
as we'll as hook and line.
\ On Thursday of last week the stea-
mer, elizabeth W." in command of
Captain Hoey Farrow, of Milford, left
the mouth of Murderkill River loaded
with about five thousand bushels of
oysters, bound for New York bay, by
the way of the Raritan Canal. While
passing through the New York bay
enroute to Connecticut waters, having
passed through the He'll Gates, the
steamer struck a sunken barge, that
broke the steamer hull so badly that it
sank so quickly that the crew had
barely time to save themselves from
going down with the boat.
An uncommon incident occurred in
Murderkill River one morning last
week near the mouth of the river. W.
II. Carey had taken his boat to go up
the river to oyster. His dog had fol-
lowed him to the river, a Chesapeake
re triever. The dog jumped in the wa
ter to follow his master and when
about the middle of the channel for
some reason he concluded to go back
ashore. He made his turn and as the |
tide was running swift, he swan along
side of a large barge that drew the
dog under it and before it could clear
itself fro mthe barge it drowned.

George E. Buchanan, millionaire bachelor of Detroit, who started his business career as poor boy and who is now president of three coal and coke companies. will arrive on the Princess Charlotte tonight, ac- companying boys from all parts of the United States whom he aided financially to make the Alaskan trip.
 Buchanan paid one third of the transportation. the boy earned suf- ficient funds for another third and the parents of the boys made up the remainder.
 MT Buchanan is in personal charge of the boys on the trip to safe guard them and see that they have the time of their lives. He started from Detroit with a large party and picked other boys up enroute to the coast, at Seattle and Van- eouver.
 The trip from the east was made through the Canadian Rockies, in- cluding Banff and Lake Louise to the coast, down to Seattle and re- turn to Vancouver where the steamer Princess Charlotte was boarded. MT Buchanan expects to bring larger party to Alaska next year on the same scheme as the present party was organized
