HUNTERS DISCUSS
FORMING RESERVE
Talk Over Plan for Closing Dis
trict to Outsiders; Another
Meeting Planned

Whether to organize a game
reserve here open only to hunters
of the Lynden district, or to
continue on the same open basis,
was the question debated by To-
cal farmers and hunters at a
meeting in the high school Tues
day evening. SO warmly was
the question argued and so even
ly was sentiment divided, that
"a final meeting to settle the
problem was called for next
Tuesday evening at the high
school.
Sam Barrett and R. S. Lam
bert of Sumas. members of the
Whatcom County Game Commits
sion were in attendance, and
explained how the difference in
the dates of the hunting seasons
in various counties arose. Mr..
Barrett said that the counties
of Western Washington had held
a meeting and agreed on Nov
ember ! as the opening date. put
that King and Pierce had later
gone back to October /, ignor-
ing this agreement.
Farmers present told of the
damage done to property by ir-
responsible hunters, and express
sed wish for protection. A
proposal for the formation of
gun club and the creation of
reserve met with favor in some
directions, and was opposed in
others.

ONLY SO REPORT
INCOMES TO L. S.
Number Filing Returns Drops
OFF In Lynden District; List
At Postoffice

Only ninety-three persons in
the Lynden district made returns
to the federal government on
their incomes for 1921, a con-
siderable falling off from the
totals of the previous year.
The list was posted in the Lyn-
den postoffice lobby this week by
D. l.. Beckes, and is open to the
inspection of the public. BY
thus conspieuously displaying the
list of names. the government
hopes to be able TO obtain in
formation regarding slackers and
those who have unwittingly
failed to make a return.
Reduced incomes of many un-
doubtedly caused a shrinkage in
the Lynden list, as 1921 con-
ditions were the poorest exper-
fenced for many years. Increase
of exemptions lowered the total
paid to the government in taxes.
