Complaint has been made by resi-
aAents of the park district of the NAL
xdorous smell that is beginning to
greet the nostrils of residents in that
vicinity. 1t has been suggested that
10 turn on the water from the dam
and flush the river below the Russell
mill would wash away the stagnant
water and correct the trouble. The
water is at an unusually low stage
now, lower than for long time and
that accounts for the trouble. With
the new trunk sewer in operation
there will be no further cause for COM
ll2int on this score.

LIGHT COMPANY WILL
MAKE PROPOSITION.
Streets VIII Probably Be Lighted In
Few Months.

The city commissioners have asked
the Riverside Light & Power COM
pany for contract for the lighting
of the Abilene streets and the propo-
sition will be made to the city within
short time. The light company
will present two propositions. On one
proposition 1t will contract to fur
nish the lighting paraphernalia and
the current at, stipulated sum and
in the other proposition 1t will set
its price for the current with the
understanding that the city furnish
the outside material. AS soon as the
proposition is made the commission
ers will get down to "brass tacks"'
and 1t is possible that Abilene VIII
have light by spring. After the city
and the light company get together
it will probably take three months
before the city will be lighted. About
200 lights will be needed to light the
town. On the business streets the
post lamps will probably be used and
Abilene might just as well figure
on putting in respectable white
way" from the beginning. With
little added expense the business
part of town could be made to shine.
The Commercial club has petition
ed the city commissioners for light
and they will probably get it. The
Brown company has promised to
make a good proposition and Abilene
will soon have what 1t has long
needed-something beside the moon
to shine at night.

"AINT IT THE TRUTH"

Official anxiety over the seal herd of Alaska appeals to the average citizen of the North very little. The Anacortes American has the question sized up as follows: Uncle Sam has discovered that sey~ eral thousand dollars worth of seals have been killed in Alaska without his consent. To cit izens of Aanacortes the loss will cause little regret, anti probably we will be able to worry along in spite of the loss of several million dollars worth of pelts. The protectioI of fur seals probably does not make a very strong appeal to the citizens of Anacortes, any. way as the fur bearing animal as we'll as his light clad broth CT of warmer climates prol.
 ably kill more salmon in the course of year than the sum tctal of the seasons pack. Sal
 mon is staple article of food of all classes, while seal skins are a luxury for a few. The maritime nations of northern Europe, where the fishing ir, dustry is of great importance,
 formerly protected the fur seal hut the animal reduced th :;
 fish supply to such an extent
 that the protection was re moved. Since then the nun
 Der of fnr seals has been re dnced and the fish catch is be coming larger every year. Thna Anacortes does not "view witt alarm" any reduction of th,
 seal herds of the North aat
 should the time come when |
 tlsh supply begins to fall oil Anacortes may join in a biz protest against the salmot most deadly enemy.-EX.
