Canadian Fish Traps

A Vancouver, B. c., dispatch, says
that under the governments decision
to permit fish traps in Canadian wa
ters, no traps are to be permitted in
the Gulf of Georgia, north of the 49th
parallel, so it will be impossible for
traps to be built on the mainland
coast in the. vicinity of the Fraser
river. They must be south of the in
ternational boundary and on the west
coast of Vancouver island. Traps
will not be permitted anywhere with
in three miles of the mouth of a navi-
gable river or within three-quarters
of q mile of the mouth of any small
salmon stream, No traps will be
permitted upon any river or stream.
Licenses for traps will only be issued
to people already engaged in the sal
mon canning industry or to people
who are able to guarantee that they
are about to engage in the business.
No transfers of licenses will be per-
mitted except by the consent of the
minister of marine and fisheries.
Only white or Canadian labor will be
permitted in the construction, main
tenance and operation of traps.
1t has been decided to build four
sockeye hatcheries at different points
at the headwaters of the Fraser
river, or on tributaries of that river
which are frequented by salmon dur
ing the spawning season. At least
two of the hatcheries will be built
and placed in operation during the
present season. All of the hatcheries
will be of large capacity. 1t is plan
ned that one of them at least shall
have an annual output of 25, ,000,0 900
sockeye fry

a further increase of sixteen per
cent or more since then. Two steam
ers furnish mail and transportation
service every day except Sunday.
There are about seventy miles of tel
ephone lines in the county and a well
equipped wireless telegraph station
affords communication between the
county seat and all mainland points.
The county has made great ad-
vance in agricultural development
during the past decade. 1t is prac-
tically out of debt It's tax levy is
among the lowest if not the lowest in
the state. It's climatic advantages
and scenic attractions are unsur-
passed. Few counties can boast of
so many comfortable homes in pro
portion to the population, or of a
larger percentage of independent,
self-reliapt and coptented people.

WANT TO LIFT us
FROM .''ISOLATIoN"
BELLINGHAM CLAMORS FOR BET
TER ISLAND SERVICE
Doesn't Appreciate the Advantages
1t Now Has or Realize What Is
Most Needed - Some Facts and
Friendly Suggestions.

San Juan county has long been in need
of steamboat service that will lift it out
of isolation. If citizens of the islands are
able to return home the same day they
wish to leave; if their mail is so regulated
as to give them !better connection with
the outside world, they may find new
era of prosperity opening up. For the
past decade the population of the neigh
boring county has not shown the growth
that it's resources should command. Ag-
ricultural districts on the mainland have
been more rapidly settled because of
quicker means of communication to mar
kets and trade centers. Give the islands
a rational transportation service and they
will increase quickly in population and

The county commissioners of many
counties in the state have directed
the assessors to take the census of
their respective counties this year,
with a view to the readjustment of
salaries as provided by law. This
county's class having been recently
advanced upon a showing satisfac-
tory to the commissioners they
thought it unnecessary to direct the
assessor to take the census, but as it
is desirable to know the approximate
population of the county anyway AS

he proceeds with his assessment
work. He reports the population Of
Lopez island, where he finished his
work last week, to be 642. This is
an increase Of SO, or a trifle over l6
per cent, since the federal census
was taken in June, 1900. If the same
percentage of increase holds good
throughout the county the total pop
ulation is now $500.

A great amount of ''stuff," as
newspaper men say, has been writ
ten about the ''island mail service"
by our good friends of the press of
Whatcom and Fairhaven, now Bell
ingham. We suspect that good
deal Of it has been ground out by pen
Gil pushers who have little or no per-
sonal knowledge of the islands. If
they were better advised they would
know better than to base their crit
icisms of the service of the present
mail steamers upon their growing
schedules. The route proposed in
the petition recently submitted to
tho Chamber OF Commerce is even
more 'roving" than either of the
present routes between here and
Bellingham, in that it makes long
detour from Doe Bay around the
north end of Lr1mmi island to Beach,
on Hale's passage. 1t would take a
much greater genius than any news
paper office can boast to devise a
plan by which any mail steamer
could render satisfactory service to
the various points in this county
without running on rowing sched-
ule."
If the Bellingham merchants are
anxious to have a steamer make a
daily round trip between here and
that city, in order to bring them a
larger share of the trade of our peo-
pie than they are now getting, they
will have to 'loosen up" and subsi-
die it, but if they would establish
free wharf, as has lately been done
in Tacoma and is proposed in Ever
ett, and a city market where pro
ducers could sell directly to consum-
ers without being skinned by middle
men, they would be doing our people
a greater service and would get bet
ter results themselves.
In the matter of steamboat SER
vice, freight and passenger rates
they seem not to be able, to see that
they have for years had great ad-
vantage over Seattle. There is only
tri-weekly steamer service between
here and Seattle direct, while there
is daily service, except Sunday, be-
tween nearly all island points and
Bellingham, and there is the ma
terial additional advantage that the
rates of fare between island points
and Bellingham average less than
half the Seattle rate. What Beiling-
ham merchants, as a rule, don't know
about the islands, their resources,
products and people, would fill a
very respectable special edition of
one of their very creditable papers.
We should be sorry to have our
good friends of the bay papers think
we are lacking in appreciation of
their efforts to lift us out of our iso-
lation, but really we are not so iso-
lated or slow as they seem to imagine.
n Notwithstanding the disadvantages
of insularity the county increased
in population forty-three per cent
between 1890 and 1900 and has made

MARSH SHOOTING.

One sad feature of marsh shooting is
the destruction Of herons and the larg-
er marsh birds. Only q rigid adher-
ence to decency of conduct can prevent
that. for it is. after all, sometimes a
temptation on a blank day. But it is
wrong, all wrong; and unless man
sticks to the principle that nothing
except a game bird is excuse for shoot
ing, our marshes viii lose some of their
most. picturesque and beautiful inhabit-

fellow fishermen-no wish to fish in

Druggists and physicians generally are
in favor of it. for they know better

themselves, the ravages which these
drugs can cause. There are black
