Various
opinions
are
being
expressed
in

to
the

of
President
Hoover
to
Congress.
In
a
general
way
the
Republicans
say

U
a

document
whereas
the
Democrats
decry
it
as
the
work
of
a
politician.
The
document
took
an

a

to

and
one

slept

almost

Over

With
the
closing
of
the
list
at
the
end
of

for

tabulation
of

municipal
voters'
list
shows
tha
about
2250
persons
are
qualified
to
ote
at
the
annual
civic
elections
next
month.
This
is
an
increase
of
about
100
names
over
last
year.
The
increase
Is
due
to
a
greater
number
of
householders
and
license
holders
registered.
Of
the
2250
names
on
the
list,
about
300
are
those
of

and

holders.
The
balance
are

PROBLEM-HOW
-From
,ence
with
members
of
the
fishing
industry
loaay.
Elaborating
on
his
proposal,
Mr.
Gosse
said
he
estlmateed
the
losses
as
follows:
Naas
River,
34,000
sockeye,
equivalent
to
59,000,000
eggs.
Skeena
River,
187,000
sockeye,
equivalent
to
328.000,000
eggs.
Upper
Fraser
River,
18,000
sockeye,
equivalent
to
31,000,000
eggs.
The
commercial
value
of
the
lost
sockeye
was
$138,000,
he
said.
Mr.
Goose
urged
that
both
Dominion
and
Provincial
Governments
close
the
salmon
streams
for
"hydro-electric
project"
and
that
the
chief
supervision
of
the
fisheries
on
the
Pacific
be
given
more
freedom
of
action
on
questions
of
policy
and
that

The

with

asking
that

floats
In

be
maintained
in
spite
of
the
provision
of

by

It
was
felt
by
the
association
that
the
fishermen
ware
much
more
en
titled
to
this
central
location
on
the
waterfront
than
was
the
Yacht

If
necessary,
the

body
should
be
able
to
find

It
was
felt
that
the

site
for
the

was
val-
uaDie
to
ine
general
dudiic
as
a
summer
moorage
for

The
association
will
also
ask
the
provincial

if
a

made
to

concern,
that
it
be
given
to

in
order
that

might
be
created.
In

of
a
report
that
the
present
vacant

on
the
government
wharf
was
to
be
given
to
the
companies
already
operating

in
