PROPOSED CHANGE OF BOUNDARIES. 
September 4, 1915. 
Editor Forest and Stream : 
It has been proposed that the boundaries of the 
Atlantic Division be changed as follows: 
The middle Atlantic seaboard and its leading 
rivers, including the Lower Hudson, Delaware, 
Susquehanna and Potomac, or the watershed of 
the eastern Alleghanies. Beginning at the ex¬ 
treme eastern end of Long Island, thence running 
westerly through Long Island Sound to the south¬ 
westerly corner of the State of Connecticut; 
thence in a general northerly direction, along the 
boundary line of the State of Connecticut to the 
point where the northerly line of Dutchess 
County, in the State of New York, intersects the 
Connecticut boundary line; thence westerly across 
the Hudson River at Saugerties; thence westerly 
following the northern boundary line of Ulster 
Count, N. Y.; thence southerly on the western 
boundaries of Ulster and Orange Counties. N. Y„ 
to Port Jervis; thence southwesterly, through 
Mauch Chunk and Harrisburg, and along the 
central chain of the Alleghany mountains to the 
valley of the James River at Lynchburg, Virginia; 
thence following the valley of the James River to 
Chesapeake bay, which will include all rivers 
emptying into the bay; thence along the Atlantic 
Coast to the place of beginning. 
This change has been deemed advisable owing 
to the fact that there are quite a number of 
canoeists in the territory which it is proposed to 
annex who can be more readily taken care of by 
the Atlantic Division than the Central Division 
under whose jurisdiction they now come. There 
are a good many canoeists in this territory that 
have never heard of our Association, and as it is 
so accessible to the Atlantic Division there is no 
reason why we should not be able to bring some 
of them into the fold.

Gentlemen. 
As you are aware, we have for a number of years, 
handled various lines of your manufacture, and we wish at 
this time to comment on the satisfaction which has always 
attended, particularly your original cuttyhunk. 
He have handled it many years, usually under 
special labels, with unfailing satisfaction. We have found it 
absolutely reliable, never varying perceptibly in tensile strength 
from year to year. This fact has been noted, and 30 impressed 
some of our most discriminating customers that they insist 00 their 
special labeled lines being made by your Company, and they usually 
seem to want the original grade. 
We ascribe their insistence in this matter to the 
scrupulous care you exercise in selecting and using only a uniforai 
grade of high te3t fibre, and to the scientific manner in whioh 
these strands are twisted together, with just enough elasticity 
to admit of the contraction, which is bound to occur in actual use, 
without cutting. '■<

PHENOMENAL CHANNEL BASS FISHING. 
Asbury Park, N. J, Sept. 27, 1915. 
A phenomenal run of channel bass ranging 
from 20 to 40 pounds each have been taken surf 
fishing at Deal Beach, near Asbury Park, N. J. 
These fish in making their fall run have never 
been taken in this section before, as it is cus¬ 
tomary for members of the Asbury Park Fishing 
Club to make an annual outing in quest of 
them to Barnegat City, Seaside Park, Beach 
Haven and Corson’s Inlet, which resorts are 
quite a distance southward of Asbury Park. 
All told about 30 fish were taken, the largest 
about 38 pounds by Henry C. Rydell and Harry 
W. Metz, caught seven, the greatest number. 
These fish are very gamy and afford great 
sport for surf anglers.

The National Forests turned into the United 
States Treasury in the fiscal year ended June 30, 
1915, nearly $2,500,000, an increase of more than 
$40,000 over the receipts of the previous year. 
The timber sales amounted to $1,164,000, about 
$79.°oo less than those of the previous fiscal year, 
but the gain was made possible by large revenues 
from other sources. The grazing receipts, which 
totaled $1,125,000, increased $127,000 over last 
year, and the water power receipts, which 
amounted to not quite $90,000, showed an in¬ 
crease of nearly $42,000. 
The first moose head of the season has arrived 
in Montreal. It was a fine specimen of the ant¬ 
lered monarch of the Canadian woods, the im¬ 
mense antlers having a spread of from forty-five 
tc fifty inches.
