35 PF.Orw. T-IVE ON oat island FISHING - TURP?.'WT11fNG	^
100-150 CATTLE GIUZING October 26, 1913
At present there are 35 people living on Cat Island, most of their engaged in fishing	or	in the turpentine industry.	The
distillation of turpentine	-will	continue into	December	and possibly
later but the trees are pretty well exhausted.
Archie Cameron with one helper and his two young sons, in nine days, only four of which were snent in actual fishing, caught 6,000 lbs. of Fullet and Trout, and in one haul brought 1300 lbs. aboard.
Among the cost interesting things on the island, qnd one which speaks well for its future prosperity, vas a herd of from 100 to 150 beef cattle grazing there. They were placed on the island by Florian Dedeaux about a year ^go and the yearlings and calves have grown into sleek, fat cattle.
It is claimed stock of all kinds thrive on the island, and it is probable that a more extensive experiment along that line will be attempted in the near future.
Duck hunting on Cat Island promises to be fine this year.
The marshes are already	full of	ducks now and	more are	coming	from
the north every day.
