A Vicious Piece of Legislation.

Jud. P. Todd, Union City's mer-
chant, was in town Tuesday on county
business. He arraigns the stupidity
or cupidity of the late populist 1egis1a-
ture for the passage of the new fish
law which practically robs the gill
METERS of their means of livelihood,
while fostering the traps, which are
largely owned and controlled by the
canneries and 1nonoplies, The seiners
are not permitted to haul within three
miles of a stream, which practically
drives them from this end of the
Sound. While both the traps and the
seines are licensed, the former is CIV
Ell the best advantage. A trap in
charge of one man will catch many
times the number of fish that several
men with hard work on seine will
secure in a day. The'traps, practically
clean out the fish, while the seines
cannot cover the runs SO we'll and
leave plenty of fish foppfopogation,
Since last fall Mr.Ef0adT has paid
out in the neighborhondv of-$13, 900 for
fish, and now the prospect is that the
fishermen will be driven from their
occupation and hundreds of men
forced to look for something else to do
while their investment in seines, boats
and gear is loss to them. The trap
owners had a strong lobby in the last
legislature, and it looks as if they got
what they wanted. 1t is probable that
the fishermen will combine and at
tempt to get some relief, as ali the
fishermen on the lower Sound are in
the same boat. Unless something is
done the residents of Hood Canal will
severely feel the loss of the money the
fishermen brought in. Such treat
ment was not expected from a ere
FORM legislature.

Then followed the baseball game
between Shelton and Olympia clubs,
the latter coming on the morning boat.
The game was quite interesting and
hotly contested, being close enough to
be interesting to the spectators. While
there were number of good plays on
both sides, wild throwing. and errors
made it plain that the players needed
to do more practice work. w. G. Rex

resulted in victory for Shelton, was
