Not few of the men employed in
the logging camps contemplate trying
mining for a change this summer, but
there is a prospect for substantial i'm
provement in numbering conditions
this summer, and it seems to us that
the men who remain will be benefited
accordingly. The next boom this state
will haye will be in mining, and even
if no mines are developed in this
vicinity, we shall receive a proper
tionate benefit from that source, and
then our conditions will be better for
local reasons.
REGISTRATION NoTICE.-Notice is
hereby given that the Registration
books for the corporation of Shelton,
are now open at the Office of the clerk,
for registration of voters for year 1897.

The fight between the trap and gill;
net fishermen in this state has led to
the subject being pretty thoroughly
ventilated. 1t looks to the Trade
Register as if there were justice in
some of the contentious of both parties
and as the salmon fishing and canning
industry is such an important and
valuable one some compromise should
be made that would not work injury
to either party. To abolish trap fish
ing on Puget Sound seems, like dirty
ing the canning business to Oregon
and British Columbia, in both of
which sections the conditions are de-
cidedly different from those on Puget
Sound. The gi11-netters should at
the same be protected in certain waters
from which traps should be excluded.
