RIVAL LINES
May Operate In South
Akron,
But N. O. T. and Canton-Akron
Officials Are Mum.

Officials of the N. o. T. Co. declined
Monday to discuss the object of their
securing right of way in South Akron.
1T MEANS" remarked an official,
that we are going to build a line
there" Further than this nothing
was said
Citizens living in the vicinity through
which right of way is being secured
believe the object is to build a loop
line to accommodate territory not now
supplied with street car service. II
is claimed the Grant st., line will be
extended to Cole ave-, on Cole ave., to
Brown ST., on Brown st. to South ST.,
and east on South ST., to Grant.
The Canton-Akron Co., has secured
right of way in the same neighbor-
hood, and the act Of the N. o. t. Co.,
is taken to indicate that rival lines
will be operated in South Akron.
Captain Aaron Wagner, Of the Can
ton Akron Co., was seen today by a
Democrat reporter, but he said he had
been out of the city SO much lately
that he had not kept a close eye on
local doings in street railway matters.

EXPENSIVE ANGLING.
Pound and Not Counted as an
ExtrnVagant Outlay.

There is no Gcubt that one of the
costliest of mans amusements is fish

tell you that it is cheap at any price.
In fact, he doesn't count the cost.

of the sport that he never exagger-

seeks resorts that are at expensive
distances, he hires guides and boats
at eXorbitant ia 'es, and no matter
what the outlay or what the luck he
never grumbles.
The other day the fish and game
commissioners of Maine were peti-
toned by prominent citizens of the
state, and of Boston and other cit
les, who asked that stringent meas
ures be adopted to protect the fishing
interests of the famous Rangely lake
and the adjoining waters. In the
course of an endeavor to show that
the number of trout in the lake was
steadily decreasing, it was stated that
the number taken by guests of the
Rangely Lake house in 1900 was 3,210,

These fish (trout and salmon), it
was further stated, averaged four
pounds each, and each pound cost

This may seem just little extrava-
giant, and yet is there true dis

nit that the outlay was foolishly in

"What was it?"

was aroused. He smelled a rat. 1t

that should properly come under his
hand.

BuckfOrd was ordered to take off the

from the jacket.
