 Much Fishing Enjoyed
 Many local fishermen went out yesterday to try their luck and some had very fine luck while others fared not so we'll. The trout season ..ypened yesterday. Some who failed to do well found the i waters too high but others got hnesport In securing some of the trout stocked by the local Fish and
 One ef the best catches was made by Walter Hoffman of Bea- con Valley. son of Mr and Mrs Otto Hoffman of Cliff street. wal ter is usually oneof the earliest .s.nSH Sns " tfy tueiI shii, oT- dinarily getting out about o'clock in the morning. However. his alarm clock did not go off yester- | day morning so he did not start fishing until much later in the morning.
 However, in three and one-half hours he caught 15 trout, and they were line ones, ont one being less than eight inches long and at least fveof them were IA inches long. They were the best mess of trout for size Walter has caught In many years. One of the surprising things about the catch, according to Walter, Is that not one of them were fish put out by the local club. He says their markings dif- fer from those on the fish stocked by the club. "e'' Walter could have caught more but he figured he had enough, his IF pound creel being crammed to the top. Walter said the fish gave some real fights, which added to the thrill of capture. He caught them at Beacon Valley and being an old fisherman he knew just where to go to get the best.
 Other good catches were report ed but none equalled in size those caught by Walter.

 The selection Of Victor Burkus, third ward Lithuanian by the dem ocrat party as It's candidate for third ward burgess, although some what of q surprise was considered today by political obsefyers to be good stroke.

Mr. Sheridan had been nominated by the third ward for the position of burgess but he was also given support for nomination us warden.
 MT. Burkus was originally named on the ticket as a candidate for se- lectman and Henry Smith of May street was named last night to fill the vacancy for the selecttnap po- sltton following the naming Of Mir. Burkus as burgess capdidate.

Ills nomination, 1t IS believed will more or less offset any gain the republi- cans might have expected from the nomination of Waiter RoxensKy. Polish youth from Union City as q candidate for tax collector. Mir. Ro- zensky is expected to have tougher going than Mir. Burkus for he is opposed to James Fitzgerald, pres, cnt tax collector, who is q war vet. cran and who is expected to draw many .y2tes iron, yeteEans, regard less of their party affiliations.
 MT. Burkus will have as his op- ponents Henry zyick oti the rapub- ilcan ticket apd P. August Johnson on the progressive ticket. MT. John l son won the nomination when he ran two years ago for burgess. Democrats will mako plans later | this week for their campaign.
