'ley Home: . J "Petitions have been circulated and very liberally signed in this vi cinity for a change in the working of the laws as pertaining to the fish ing in the Nooksack river. "There has been a law on the stat . tiles for many years but has been al loWvd to remain dormant until last ' week, when it is said, seven were ar t rested for using a dip-net. We believe that in strict accord ance with the law, the season on Hungarian partridges should not have been opened, hut the game com mission opened it because the birds . were quite plentiful. Could the oth jer work the same way? "It is inconceivable to feature the jfew fish that would be caught along the river as having anything to do . with the propagation of salmon as , the total taken would be less than a . Jpoor day's catch for one fislitrap. "The agitation going on over the . county will have a good effect and 1 it is probable that some relief will • be granted." ' Petitions will likewise be circulat . Ed in Lynden, it is said. n l , NEW ELECTION' LAW REQUIRES THREE SEPARATE BALLOTS '' 1 . I Although the intention of the law passed by the last legislature was supposedly to cheapen election costs iby combining school, city and port lelections, using the same polls and 'the same ballots, it won't work out that way December 3 in Whatcom County. Prosecuting Attorney Baldrey has . ruled that separate ballots -one for city elections, one for school elec . tions and one for port elections, will be used. In Lynden, those who would ! 'vote at the city election must reg ister. Registration is not necessary for the school election. The school and city election will be held Dec. ,|l with polls at the high school and city hall. i Mr. and Mrs. C. L.

Seaborg, head of the state fisheries department, Sam Barret, chairman of the Whatcom County Game Commission, and Game Warden Aitken to visit the fish-traps some day in the season, and see the thousands of salmon brought to the surface in the daily haul. More fish in a single day than are caught in the Nooksack by dip-net and hook in an entire year!

LYNDEN PAINTER FALLS FROM LADDER L. C. Cook Drops to Pavement When Auto Strikes Ladder in Front of Garage L. C. Cook, proprietor of the Lyn . den Paint and Wall-Paper Company, 1 i was painfully injured Tuesday, when 1 > he fell from a ladder while painting a sign at the top of the Lynden Mo- . i tor Company building. Cook's head was cut, and his hip and wrist injured in the drop to the concrete pavement. Cook was standing on a tall ladder placed directly in front of the en- 1 trance to the garage. Ike Elenbaas. one of the proprietors of the garage, did not know that the ladder was there, and backed out in a Ford car. Cook in falling hit a sign, and then struck the top of the car, and slip to the pavement. The double breaking 1 of the fall saved him from more ser- 1 ious injuries. | € I o I LYNDEN WILL PAY LOWER TAX IN 1922 I Council Reduces Tax One Mill; Levy PaY Schools Will Be Two Mills ITn- ! der 1921 The Lynden City Council fixed the 1922 levy Monday night at 19 mills, a reduction of one mill over last year. In making the reduction, the coun .cil reduced the budget by $1,000. In 1920, Lyndon's city tax was 21 ; mills, and the council has been low ering this at the rate of one mill a year. Back indebtedness has been wiped out in the warrant register. •and the town has been able to pay ioff some of its bonds by this financial j policy. Lynden's school levy will be two i mills lower for 1922 than for this year. The 1921 levy was 20 mills. This year, the tax statements will in clude 10 mills authorized by law without vote, a 7 mill extra levy ap proved by the tax-payers at the last school election, and a one-mill levy authorized .to provide for the Smith* "TTugTies~agricultufal work. ! A slight reduction Is the state levy and a county levy approximately the same, means that Lynden will pay about four mills less taxes in 1922. i „ „ LYXDEX GIRLS TO COMPETE IX CANNING AT PCVAIiIiUP FA llt ■ j Adriana and Maurine Vander Griend, who won in the canning con " [test at the County Fair, left Wednes [day morning for Puyallup, where they will take part in the district contest at the Western Washington I Fair. | Mrs. M.

LEAGUE SEASON ENDS IN BAD SQUABBLE Ferndale Player Protested, and Win ning Team May Be Put Back to Fourth Place At a meeting of the board of di rectors of the N'ooksack Valley Base Ball League at Everson, Sunday ev jening, September 25th, several vic tories belonging to Ferndale were or : dered forfeited to the various teams of the league, on the grounds that Roy Mohrman was an ineligible play er. It was argued by some of the | managers present that Roy Mohrman was a resident of Snohomish county, i The result of this action places Ferndale in fourth place instead of i first, unless the action is reconsidered | at a meeting of directors this week.' The following article was taken i from the Ferndale Record of Sep tember 30th: "That part of Ferndale which takes an interest in the baseball club this week is indignant over the action of the N'ooksack Valley League in throw ing out several games in which the use of Roy Mohrmann was protested. The action of the directors came out of a clear sky at a meeting held Sun day night at Everson, following the close of the season in which the Fern dale team emerged winner. "A news article in the Ferndale Record of July 1 is the basis tor the ' allegation that Ferndale violated the league ruling that only residents of the county should be played. Mohr- | mann, whose home has been here for the most of his life, returned from Sultan late in June and spent several weeks at home. During his »Usy--hct*e h« -played ••■first- ba.;t- for j* Ferndale. "In no other league in the country ' the local supporters point out, is aI, protest valid unless presented and acted upon within a fixed time after the game is played. Instead, it is de clared, no intimation of this protest < was given Ferndale until nearly two 1 months after the final game in which 1 Mohrmann played. ' The games thrown out are suffi cient in number to deprive Ferndale of the pennant. Ferndale had a final 1 standing of 14 games won and 5 'lost. Custer having forfeited last Sun day and Everson having been defeat ed on the local grounds 4 to 0. | "While the other teams in the cir- | cult upheld the protest against the Ferndale man at the meeting Sun day night, Ferndale is not content to let the matter rest until it is as certained whether, under the rules of the league, a belated protest can be recognized. "A matter of about $150 is in the pot for the winner of the pennant, |it is reported. Allegations of spite 'work against the Ferndale club are heard in connection with the affair. "Several instances of trouble over ! eligibility of players arose during Ithe playing season, but all were act-! ied upon within a short time. The ' [action of the league, if allowed to; j stand, is taken to mean the end of 'dealings between Ferndale and the towns of the league with regard to league baseball.

In front of the Whatcom County D>irymen'l plant, the pave ment was widened an extra eight 'feet to accomodate the line of trucks ;that is usually in waiting there, with out interfering with the through traf ' tic. Preparations are now being made for the hard-surfacing of the block along the railroad track extending from Third Street to the Bloedel ( Donovan yard. | The nine miles of Lynden-Sumas paving was completed Friday, and a (chicken-dinner was served at the con tractor's cookhouse with the county commissioners and others as guests.
