opportunity to demonstrate his skill
when such tackle is used.
The cabio usually are caught by
anglers in search of blues. This
frequently means they are hooked
on light tackle. and while the cabio
lacks something of the fighting
spirit and technique Of a bluefish,
his size makes up for the difference.
Ever try handling an 80-pound fish?
The cabio are caught from May
until November and the blues,
usually coming to Virginia a little
later, stay until late in the fall.
Some of the largest of the blues are
caught as late as October.
Cold Weather Fish.
The rock fish or striped bass
gives the Virginia salt water fisher
man his cold weather sport. This
fine game fish is present in Virginia
waters virtually the entire year,
and goes UP the Tidewater es-
tuaries and the fresh water streams
as we'll. Many are caught trolling
in the Mattaponi and the Pamun-
key as well as in the James, the
York, the Rappahannock, the Po-
tomac, the lesser streams in Tide
water and the bay itself. Rocks
of 80 pounds or more have been
caught frequently. and this fish is
one of the finest fighters in the salt
water.
The Eastern Shore and the west
tern side of the bay have many
small towns which are becoming
centers for game fish anglers.
Fishing for marlin, unknown in
Virginia until recently, received an
impetus during the past year when
sportsmen demonstrated that these
fighters really were off the Virginia
coast. The year 1889 is expected
to draw many sportsmen to the
Eastern Shore in search of the bis
fish in Chincoteague waters.

So Economists Urqe
Roosevelt 10 Avert
W.P. A. Ro||sCut
Threat to Continuance
Of Present Upturn
Is Seen in Letter
FS the Associated Press.


CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec. 26.-A
letter from 50 economists to Presi-
dent Roosevelt, asking him to stop
reported proposed cut in Works
Progress Administration rolls, was
made public here last night by Prof
Paul M. Sweezy of the Harvard
Economics Department, one of the
signers.
The economists wrote that pub
hshed reports indicated the w. P.
A. was planning to reduce it's rolls
by one-third during the next two
or three months in order to stretch
the present relief appropriation and
to lay the ground for a greatly re-
duced deficiency appropriation next
spring.
Such policy would involve
throwing some million breadwin-
ners and their families into desti-
tuition during the severe winter
months" the letter said. "It would
involve a reduction of more than
$oO,OOO,OO0 per month in direct wage
payments in addition to some s3O.-
100000 IN related expenditures.
Threat to Recovery.
such a cut in consumer purchas-
ing would, we believe, constitute a
severe threat to the continuance
OF the present economic recovery,
and might even cause a serious set
back in business activity"
Tho iefe Lo.1~r.L
tallment of the w. P. A. "at the
present time would be particularly
lll-timed from an economic as we'll
as from humanitarian viewpoint,
and we strongly urge that the con-
templated policy of curtailment be
abandoned"
OF the economists, 13 are with
Harvard and 7 each with Yale and
Columbia. Besides Chicago, Stan
iord, Amherst and Williams, other
institutions with which they are
connected are Northwestern, Brook
lyn College, Mount Holyoke, Tufts,
Brown, Wisconsin, Illinois, Cornell
New York University, Minnesota
Princeton, Fresno State College
San Francisco Junior College, Sarah
Lawrence College and Vassar.
Expansion Of Spending.
In the letter, the college pro-
fessors said:
The rapid upsurge in business
during the past six months has
been a source of announcement ia
those who believe that the severity
OF swings in business activity need
not be accepted Realistically, but
can be successfully counteracted
by wise social action. Thanks to
the vigorous action taken last spring
by the Federal Government under
your leadership, the. recession of
1887 was arrested and the curve of
business and employment turned
upward. The expansion of the
spending program was the chief
governmental weapon used in fight
ing the recession and stimulating
the recovery. Furthermore, during
these six months, the major channel
for the disbursement of new pur-
chasing power has been the w. P. A.
and we believe the w. P. A. should
continue to perform this function
until private industry clearly dem
onstrates its capacity to absorb all
those released from relief rolls"

THE next largest industrial de-

clearly established the fact that

Game Fish Abundant.
The commissioner recalled that
one Chincoteague boy caught two
marlin while fishing for blues. AS
late as October, in fact, marlin were
seen just back of Metompkin and
Parramore Beaches.
"Of course" continued the COM
missioner, "the fishing is not limited
to marlin, dolphin and whales-our
waters abound in the largest sea
trout, blues, kings and a variety of
pan fish. 1t is a boundless lure for
fishermen-and fisherwomen.
The commissioner believes records
for big fish will go tumbling now
that Virginians and their visitors
are becoming big fish" conscious
He warns that guides, boat owners
and others in Tidewater who cater
to the trade of sportsmen should
start Immediately making their ar
rangements for the 1899 season.
Trial trips will locate the run
of the fish in different waters op-
posite the Virginia Shore" he says
1t is apparent that the run of
marlin is much closer to the shore
on the Eastern Shore section than
opposite the capes.
