FISHING SEASON
NOT LENGTHENED.
Fraser River Gamers Request Denied
BY Dominion Government.

NEW WESTMINSTER. Aug. 25.-
Word was received from the depart
ment of fisheries at ottawa today to
the effect that the Dominion govern
ment would not accede to the request
of Gamers for the extension of the
fishing season to September 3. The
reason given is, that recommendations
against such extension have been re-
ceived from the fishermen's union and
from the H. Bell Irving company. The
season closes August 25.
The fishermen's union does not want
the extension. on the ground that it
might lead to a shortage in 1918.
Gamers here are extremely disap-
pointed at the refusal to extend the
season. as it had been confidently eX
pected there would be no hitch. This
years pack of the Fraser River Can
ners' association, it is cOntended, will
be only about i45O. 900 cases. about half
Of the last big year. Cohoe fishing has
started up the coast, and many boats
are leaving for Toby inlet.

Brooks Was Generous.

The only debate of the evening was
occasioned by the question of sidewalk
on the Singleton place on South Sec
ond street Street Commissioner H. II.
CHAMPION asked the council what ac-
ton he Should take as he had stop
ped work pending a decision. The
new ordinance. he said, provided for
concrete walks in all parts of the city
where wooden walks were worn out,
had been told two members of the
street committee had given Mr. Sim
gleton permission to proceed with the
work.
Attorney J. W. Brooks, representing
interested property owners, said the
property on which the wooden walk
the walk. Nir Brooks said the Sim
gleton's and that the city had no jur
isdiction thereon. If allowed to lay
the walks Mr.. Brooks said the Sim
gleton's would donate to the city a
strip of ground six feet in width, on
which the old walk was laid thereby
widening the street to so feet instead
of "a But in case the ordinance were
enforced. the attorney said the con-
crete walk would be laid on the old
line, and Mr. Singleton would retain
the six feet that would be necessary
to widen the street. Councilman
Stack suggested that that would give
pedestrians choice of walking on
either a concrete or a board walk,
much to the amusement of specta-
tors.
City Engineer L. W. Loehr was
called on for an opinion as to the
and his statement made the attorneys
generosity look like a lemon. Mr..
Loehr said the street, when opened as
a county road in territorial days, had
a width of so feet and has always been
regarded by the county as a 60-foot
street. In that case Mr.. Singleton did
not own the six feet he had agreed
to donate for the widening of South
Second street, and the city has full
Jurisdiction. The question was refer
red to the city attorney and the en-
gineer with instructions to settle the
dispute as to the width of the thor
oughfare and the location of property
lines.

by Rev. C. C. Crews, president of the

Lot of good done, and the spiritual vel.
fare of the church very much helped,
Saturday there was a grand, big din,
ner spread in the church yard. The
rains mterfered to some extent with
the pleasures of the day, but there was
a good crowd present, and We had a
good and profitable day.
The heavy rains have damaged some
crops in this section. Water is standing
in many fields on the low lands. Dan
White has lost about 100 bushels of
corn and Reese Stephens has three
acres of fine cotton badly damaged.
Phil Boyd has the finest field of cot
ton in this section of the county.
RumOr has it that one Of our most
popular young men stole a march on
the Hamilton county boys and captured
one of that cOunty's most excellent
young ladies'. "X."
