week from the Sunbeam dam,
where they went to inspect the
fish-way. They found that it
did not allow the fish to get over
the dam. Supt. Gable told them

they will make their future home.
Mr.. Waters is engaged in hard

has good trade. Their many
friends here are sorry to see
them leave, and it is fair to state
that no better family ever set

years, and their standing in this
municipality is top notch.-Sal-

There was no emergency clause
attached to the new fish law to
make April closed month for
trout fishing. so the law does not
go into effect until the 3rd OF
next month, says the Attorney
General, SO you can fish this
April if you can get a license
but they are probably holding
back the new licenses so we can
not fish this month. The new
law at any rate only prohibit the
catching of trout during April.
So if you fish in April you must
bait for salmon, whitefish, suck

chance you land spotted trout
or bull trout during April, after
taking a good look at him and
imagining what delicious break
fast he would make. you must
throw him back into the water.

State has appropriated 81 500 to
build bridge across Salmon riv-

appropriation the State says
that said bridge shall be built
from two to four miles below
what is commonly known as the
Barr or Jenson bridge. 1t is
claimed that the site selected by
the Board of Custer County Com
missioners is not two to four
miles below what is commonly
known as the Barr or Jensor
bridge" The question now aris
es: Would the State allow Gus
ter county to expend the 81, SOC
if said bridge was not built from
two to four miles below what
is commonly known as the Barr
or Jenson bridge ?" This is 6
matter for the Board to take into
consideration, and is of more OF
less Importance, for the county
wants the money the State al
