The fishing season for 1000 opened last
Sunday at 12 o'clock noon, and the suc
cess which has attended tho efforts of
our local fishermen since, gives encour
agement to tlio belief that thi will be
a profitable season in the fishing busi
ness. As an example of the amount of
lish in the river, somo of the fishermen
on one drift caught as many as twenty
live llsh, tunic evon a greater number.
Mr. Sheldon, the ngent at this place,
received five tons of salmon from 12
o'clock noon, Sunday, to 0 o'clock in the
afternoon of the same day. On Mon
day he received three tons of flali and
the run ia atill on. The fishermen are
receiving $0 per hundred for the salmon,
mid n very small catch brings them
good returns for their etlbrt. The nros
iwcts are not discouraging at alt for a
profitable season.
