AN OPEN LETTER TO GAME WARDEN AIT
KEN AND GAME COMMISSIONER BARRETT:

Your action of this week in causing the arrest
and fine of seven farmers of this district for dip
ping fish out of the river is outrage! Nothing
more nothing less!
Without warning, you made these arrests, af-
ter decade Of permitting dipping in the river.
What is the object of suddenly enforcing an unfair
law without single preliminary notice?
And you know that any law that prohibits
citizen from taking few fish from the river for
his own use, while canneres and purse-seiners are
permitted to take them out by the scow-load and
by the carload for commercial purposes is rankly
unfair!
That law should be repealed. Until it can be
wiped off the statutes, it would be only just that
you should treat the farmers of Whatcom County
reasonably, serving the intent of the law by put
ting an end to any abuses in connection with the
practise of dipping.
And remember this
That during the entire year, the citizens of
the county do not take as much fish from the riv-
er as a cannery trap seizes in day!

WATERFRONT PAVING DONE;
WILL BE OPENED NOVEMBER I

The last block of concrete eonnee-
ting the present pavement on the
Waterfront highway was completed
Sunday afternoon. This virtually
ends the paving on that highway
The raE3afasag few gaps. which wiz
be paved as soon as the roadbed is
sufficiently free from slides, can be
closed without interruption of traf-
fic.
When the last work was done at
the intersection of the old pavement
near the State park simple cere-
mony took place, witnessed by few
citizens and the members of the con-
struction crew.
1t took the form of driving a
spike into the concrete and setting it
there as a marker. The spike was
supplied by Cyrus Gates. 1t is re-
lie of the historic event when the
Fairhaven Southern and the New
Westminster Southern were joined in
an international highway at Blaine
ON February IA, 1891. AT that time
golden spike was driven but sever
al models of the golden spike were
made of nickel, properly engraved,
and one of these is now encased in
the pavement just completed.
The spike was driven by Mrs. H.
s. Woodruff. wife of Superintendent
Woodruff of the construction.
II is an interesting coincidence that
the old pavement was completed to
the point where it was Joined by the
new on September &c. 1919. The
new was finished two years later to
the day, or September Is, 1921.
The construction company will
now finish about a mile of curbing at
points where safeguarding is neces-
sary, and will lay 1900 feet of drain
tile to protect the highway. With
these completed the contract will be
finished.
So far as the hard surfaced high
way is concerned the road may be
open to traff about November / but
the widening of the road at the south
end near Blanchard, though advanc-
ing very rapidly, may not be finished
until a month or so later. 1t will be
possible to pave this section-some-
thing more than a mile-without de-
tour from the highway the width per-
mitting of this, as stated.
