The warm weather of the past few
days is bringing the river up with a
rudh. It looks s tboURh we might have
the April and June rise at the same
time in thich case Portland will have a
flood worth mentioning. The fishermen
feel that fate is not kind to them as the
high water interferes with the work
which they can lawfully begin in a few
days. On the othtr band the bailiffs
will get a chance for a little rest. Pa
trolling several miles of swift river is
no easy task as the bailiffs fully recog
nize.
