Fined Fer Fishing
With Grab Hook
First Conviction In County Under
New Law-License For
Everybody.

The first conviction under the new
fishing law was secured by Deputy
District Attorney Dill at Joseph, Tues
day, when ]. T. Sutton was fined S25
and costs for catching trout with a
grab hook. The new law absolutely
forbids the catching of trout with
any thing except hook and line.
Sutton was found at the lake by
Mr.. Dill and Deputy Game Warden
Clemons in Iosse3sion of trout that
had been caught with a hook at the
end of pole. Sutton claimed the
fish had not been caught in the lake
or within 800 feet of the lake, and
the Rusk law was not therefore vio-
lated. This was true but the general
law was, as such fishing is prohibited
in any stream.
The trial was by jury before
Justice Sheets at Joseph and result
ed in a verdict of guilty.

berries and raspberries also promise
an abundant yield. and as everybody
around here knows, the quality is

Improving Road
To North Country
Change Makes II one-Half Mile
Shorter And Steep Hill
Avoided.

County Surveyor II. Il. Merryman
is working on the papers for three
changes on the Ant Flat road, that
will in the aggi egate reduce the dis
tance between Enterprise and Sled
Springs and the entire North Coun-
try over one half mile, and very
materially better the road by elimi-
mating the worst hill and making
other grades less.
The first change is at the north
end of Ant flat where straight
route on north over the Fathers Bros.
land will be followed, instead of the
quarter mile jog to the east. This
change shortens the road one half
mile and betters the grade.
At the l.. f. Wright place, nine
niles north of town, change will bC
made to avoid steep hill, leaving
he road on a water grade. This
change will also shorten the road
rom II to l6 rods.
The third change Is on the w. f.
aankin place, and Is being plated
so that the county can acquire the
and on which the new route Is
ilready graded.

WATER RESERVOIR

PRESSURE.

Work on the reserve reservoir for
The water works is nearing compile
tion. 1t is located on the high hill
east Of Residence street, 1877 feet
above the level at the Enterprise
Hotel corner. The altitude was taken
by Engineer R. X. Lowry and ]. R.
Ulen of the American Light & Water
company. This will give a maximum
pressure of S4 ponds.
The reservoir is on land decided
free to the city by T. R. Atkins. 1t
Is 110 feet long, 60 feet wide and
10 feet deep, and will hold 100000
gallons. The measurements are for
the bottom, the sides being sloping.
The soil is gravelly and it may be
found necessary to cement the res
ervoir, which would mean a large
additional expense.
superintendent Ulen received a
letter Thursday from the pipe factory
promising that the entire order of
pipe will leave the factory by July
l. If that is done, the entire system
will be completed by August l, says
Mr. Ulen.
The cement intake at the springs
is finished, all ready to turn the
water in as soon as the system is
completed. The overflow will be at
the reserve reservoir on Atkins hill,
which will regulate the pressure
down town.

it impracticable to get the speakers
