Rock fish are being caught in
Broadkill river by Milton fishermen.
Joseph Fisher on Saturday caught a
number that weighed about two
pounds each. 1t is unusual to catch
these fish here, but in the last two
winters many have been caught. 1t
is thought that the closing of Indian
river has caused these fish to enter
the Broadkill, the next river north
of Indian river.

The youths of the town enjoyed
skating on Lake Fanganyki last
week. The first skating was done
on Tuesday and since that time the
lake has been thronged, especially
in the evening when the bright moon
made the sport fascinating. The
thickness of the ice was about four
inches and safe skating was to be
had on all parts of the lake. No ice
has been harvested as yet and 1t Is
not likely that any will be for the
the largest users of ice
during the summer months, have
learned that manufactured ice is
easier handled and nearly as
cheap as to hire a gang Of men to
harvest it from the lake. Warmer
weather on Saturday made skating
and the sport was stop
ped.

source was so covered with ice that
