The Salmon Rivers of East Labrador. 
; Editor Forest and Stream: 
On the I2th day of June instant a goodly com¬ 
pany of salmon anglers from the United States 
and Canada, and others who have interests be- 
' lo w- left Quebec on the bi-monthly steamer 
winch makes her first trip of the season for the 
rivers and ports along the north shore of the 
lower St. Lawrence. It is notorious that the 
fishing rights and privileges on these rivers 
have become so expensive of late years that at¬ 
tention is being turned toward the rivers of the 
east coast, of which there are many. The best 
of these, were designated in Hallock's “Fishing 
I oun st, in 1873, but their inaccessibility has 
I them out of the market until recently. 
During the past fourteen years the field labors 
of Dr. W. 1 . Grenfell have added much to the 
geographical knowledge of that region. Ffos- 
pital stations, co-operative stores, and an 
orphanage have been established at points along 
the coast which are reached by a steamer of 
his own, and a great deal of information about 
localities and people has been gathered. 
All this is opportune for the progressive sal- 
moil angler. The new innovations facilitate a 
rest, afford increased pleasure and relieve the 
sense of isolation. It will be quite easy in the 
future to visit the salmon rivers of Byron’s Bay, 
Sandwich Bay, Eskimo Bay, and as far up as 
(Northwest River (a Hudson Bay post), which 
is the most prolific of them all. 
It is announced by the New England Grenfell 
Association, whose headquarters are at Boston, 
that Dr. Grenfell is now preparing a volume 
which he designs to be standard for information 
J about Labrador, its topography, economics, 
ethnography and natural history. But it will’ 
not be published until fall. By courtesy of this 
association, I am permitted to print the ac¬ 
companying map, which shows the Labrador 
: coast line and Dr. Grenfell’s already wide field 
of operations, with its eleemosynary stations.

The Newfoundland Season. 
St. Johns, N. F., June 8 .—Editor Forest and 
j Stream: The angling season has opened up on 
I the west coast. Sir Bryan and Lady Leighton, 
; from England, and Mr. and Mrs. Ehrich, of 
New \ork, are the first arrivals. I he weather 
has been little backward, but it is getting finer 
: now. When it gets a little warmer it is expected 
that a larger number of anglers will visit us 
j than ever before; in fact, the railway people 
j have made dates for several large parties. 
Any sportsmen desiring a nice site for a camp 
could procure one now cheaply. The writer 
would be glad to give inquirers any information. 
; There are sites, that would make ideal camping 
places for hunting caribou or for salmon or sea 
I trout fishing on the west coast. They are de¬ 
sirable locations for camps. W. J. Carroll

Fishing at Round Lake. 
, Eustis, Maine, June 10.— Editor Forest and 
j Stream: Dr. and Mrs. W. E. Andrews, Master 
- Prescott Andrews, Mr. W. F. Massa and Mr. 
j W. Stebbins Smith, of New York; Dr. and Mrs. 
j G. W. Andrews, of Woonsocket, R. I.; Mr. and 
^ Mrs. E. H. Tubbs, of Providence, R. I., and 
1 Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Messenger and son Guy, of 
i Winchester, Mass., have been fishing Round 
j Mountain Lake with good success. They did 
not get any large ones, but what they lacked in 
1 size they made up in numbers. 
The weather has been very cold for fishing 
with comfort from boats, but when it was too 
cold to go out in boats they caught all they 
wanted from the wharf in front of the camps. 
J hey caught 100 in one day from the wharf, all 
° n a The best fiy so far is the Parmachene 
belle. 1 Ins lake has been stocked with trout 
all it would stand, for the past four years, and 
it is hard to find better fly-fishing for trout. 
A good many of them weigh more than a pound 
each. 
■ Messenger was taking a walk one morn¬ 
ing back of the camps on a trail and had the 
good luck to see a large black bear, but as he 
did not have a rifle with him the bear is still

Experiments with Suckers. 
Superintendent Nathan R. Buller, of the 
Wayne hatchery, Pennsylvania, has been ex¬ 
perimenting in the propagation of the humble 
sucker with interesting results. He finds that 
the eggs are taken very easily from the fish 
artificially; that they hatch very readily in jars 
such as are used for shad and wall-eyed pike; 
that it requires about twelve to fifteen days to 
hatch the eggs, and that it is possible to hatch 
99 per cent. In view of the fact that there is a 
concerted movement on the part of giggers 
operating under the new law to catch all the 
suckers they can, the experiments of Mr. Buller 
reported to the Department of Fisheries at 
Harrisburg will interest those who do not want 
to see the sucker exterminated. 
Weakfish in Jamaica Bay. 
Dr. C. A. Heller, of New York city, caught 
several weakfish in Jamaica Bay last week. At 
the same time they were reported from Barnegat 
Bay, but it was not thought they had reached 
the colder water of the south shore of Long 
Island. The doctor’s weakfish were not large, 
but those he brought home were fine ones. 
Fish Killed by Acids. * 
A report from Plattsburg, N. Y., says that 
large numbers of game and other fish were found 
on Monday of this week along the shores of 
I he Boquet River. It is supposed they were 
ki led by acids from one of the pulp mills at 
Willsboro Falls. These mills have caused the 
hsh protectors no end of trouble in recent years, 
though in this case it is not clear who is to 
blame, as striking workmen are credited with 
releasing the acids, and the men have promptly 
denied the charge. 
Fish Commissioner Fishing. 
Commissioner of Fisheries W. E. Meehan, of 
Harrisburg, Pa., went out for the first time this 
season the last week in May, and fishing in the 
headwaters of Lackawaxen Creek, caught twenty- 
two nice trout. 
Lost Leaders. 
In the pool below the dam, 
Where the trout glide to and fro. 
There’s a treacherous place for the angler’s trace. 
Where it’s sure to foul to his woe. 
From the sunken log, midstream, 
Fong leaders float, like weeds 
On the mirroring face of a marsh-bound place, 
From the roots of the tangled reeds. 
For the nymph of this woodland dale 
Is a connoisseur in flies, 
And the tinsel things with feather wings, 
She seizes as lawful prize. 
Full many a cast of mine 
Does she hold, a collection feeder. 
And nor prayer nor threat has she heard as yet, 
Nor ever returned a leader. 
Walter Porter.
