BTEEmJOTJS TIMES AHEAD (.ncll Has a Hmr Hammer FlianM If It RirH) to I'urrr Oat latdrrtaklna It llaa la Mlad. I Members of th Omaha city council are approaching- a period of activity that prom Ue to be strenuous, If they carry out the projects that are etigsglrtK their minds. Among tha thin now confronting the council for settlement are: Request of the Union Pwlflc for vacation of streets and alleya below Klghth street, from Jackson to Karnam. Iiulldlng of a viaduct at Nineteenth and Mason by the Chicago Great Western, where a ateel structure should- have been built almost two years ago, according to agreement made when the Mason City A Vort Dodge was granted the vacation of aliaets and alleya In that neighborhood. Lowering of Belt Line tracks at Twenty second and Ames avenue to the street grade. strengthening of the Eleventh street via duct to make It safe for the very heavy traffic now going over It, or regulation of trafflo to prevent overloading of the pres ent structure. framing up of a new franchise for the Omaha Electric Light and Power company, and probably for other publlo utility cor porations, foUowlng the dose of litigation concerned In the decision of the St Louis court of appeals. To Line use Aoto Drivers. Licensing of automobile drivers, Includ ing the prevention of the operation of ma chines by children under 16 years of age. Establishment of a building line for pri vate residences, so that a start can be made in a practical way for the city beauti ful. Several councllmen have recently re ceived protests against the violation of neighborly rights by property owners who projec their new houses far to the front .of the building lines adopted by those who have theretofore built. This custom Is spreading to such an extent that council must do something along the line followed by other progressive cities, where building lines ha vie been established. Extension of the present fire limits to cover a much larger area thaji at present, because of tbe spread of the business dis trict and the largely Increased building of costly homes and apartment houses In sec tions which a iew years ago were "out In the country." Adoption of a new plumbing code for the city, and putting the plumbing Inspector's department on a more effective footing than at present. The work of the depart ment has grown by leap and bounds, like wise Its Inoome, while the staff consists of two men, who must at times make build ers wait for Inspection, especially In the busy season; when tha demands ana most Insistent. Most Watch Districts. Councllmen are' also compelled to keep closer watch of their districts, because' of the steady extension of the horns sections and largely Increased demand for improve ment by the city, to keep pace with pri vate enterprise. Then there is the campaign for viaducts, already declared necessary by the council. The Missouri Pacific has the proposed Dodge street structure tied up in federal court, but the city attorney la confident the city will win eventually. The Locust street viaduct la seemingly in the clear, as the railroads most Interested have evinced, a disposition to go ahead with the building of this structure the present season. In the case of the proposed viaduct at Nicholas street, on which the councilman hare net their hearts, the Northwestern is tiurklng a little, but it la hoped to shortly bring about an agreement by which this too will be put un-Je.r waj before mow files.

Some Things You Want to Know Canadian-American Fisheries It Is hoped that two pending questions with reference to the International fisher ies dispute between the United 8 rat en and Canada will be settled during the present year. One question relates to the century long agitation with reference to the rights of clt liens of the United States to fish In Canadian waters. The other deals en tirely with the regulation of the fishing Industry In the International waters com mon to the United states and Canada. The controversy with reference to the fishing rights of the Inhabitants of the United States in Canadian waters will be carried to The Hague for arbitration. The United States has prepared Its case on the Issues Involved, and it fills some four or five good sized volumes. Congress appro priated 1100,000 last year for expenses Inci dent to the preparation and presentation of the case, and this year a like amount has been asked for. There are seven prop ositions which will be taken by the two countries to Tho Hague tribunal. The first of these Is whether or not Great Britain and her colonies Jiave any right to make regulations affecting the right of United States fishermen, without the con currence of the Washington government. It Is contended by the United States that the treaty of 1818 between the United States and England expressly provided that the Americans should have the fishing right forever. The Canadians contend, on the other hand, that these rights are sub ject to limitations that may be placed upon them In the exercise of police power. The next ueqstlon at Issue Is whether the Inhabitants of the United States have a right to omploy other nationalities In their fishing operations under these con cessions. The Americans claim that they do possess such right, while England holds the contrary view. The third Issue- at stake conoertia the three-mlle-f rom-shore limit within which the inhabitants of the United States are denied the right of free fishing. The United States contends that this three-mile line shall be drawn parallel with the coast line at all points. England declares that this line must follow the general contour of the shore line and not the various Indentations. In other words, tho British claim that all bays, creeks and other Indentations shall be considered as lying within the three-mile limit. If this contention on the part of the British government Is supported by the conclusions of The Hague tribunal, the United States will lose the right to fish, in some of the best fishing grounds in all North Atlantic waters. Under the treaty of 1H18, the Washington government de clares that the three-mile line within which it cannot go shall be drawn at low water mark, following every indentation of the coast. Another question to be submitted has to do with the right of tha Canadian govern ment to tax the boats of the United States fishermen. The question of whether the United States has a right to fish freely along the southern and western coasts of Newfoundland also will be considered. About five years ago Newfoundland en acted a law i denying such right to the Inhabitants of the United States. In sub mitting Its case to The Hague the govern ment at Washington asserts that for more than three quarters of a century this right was recognized and exercised. The English casa sets forth that Newfoundland acted clearly within its rights when It enacted this law. For some years .pending a final settle ment of tha questions at issue, the two governments have operated under an an nual agreement. Tha British have been very much opposed to purse seining and SSSSSB NEW TOWN NAMED AFTER OMAHA F.IAN Kenyon to Be Important Point ' on the NeyvBurley-Oakley , Railway. .'

The Americana assert that purse seining dots no mors In jury to the fish supply than the use of gill nets, through the use of which mil lions of fish die and become unfit to be taken Into the vessels. As to Sunday fish ing, It Is asserted that at best the season Is short and that If the American fisher men were denied the right of fishing on Hunday the business would ceass to be profitable. The English at one time agreed to give the United Htates every concession It asked with reference to the Atlantic fishing grounds, if, on the other hand, the United Mates would agree to admit Canadian full supplies Into the United States free of duty. A treaty to this effect was negotiated and agreed to by flie two countries, becoming etrettlve in 1871 and continuing until IsSj, when It was abrogated by the United States. In 18SS another treaty along the same lines was entered Into, but the United States senate rejected it. Two years later another similar treaty was signed, to bo later withdrawn by the Kngllsh govern ment. In 1902 the Hay-Bond treaty was negotiated, but waa killed by the American senate. In the meantime, the British al lowed the American fishermen all the privi leges they would have been entitled to had the treaty gone into effect. After that the Canadians felt themselves ill-used and fell back upon the stipulations of the treaty of 1S18. It has been agreed by the two govern ments that the findings of The Maguo tribunal shall not become effective unless they are first accepted by the authorities at Washington and London. It Is believed, however, that tho contracting parties will accept the findings of the court w'thout turther question. The question of regulating the fishing Industry In .the International waters be tween the United States and Canada is along the lines of the conservation of the fish supply. A treaty made two years ago between England and the United States in which It was agreed that uniform regu lations for the protection, preservation and propagation of food . fishes should be adopted. Jurisdiction over the interna tional waters waa vested In the two gov ernments, each on Its side of the boundary line. Each government was given tha right to arrest and punish violators of the Inter national regulations, whether they were citizens of the one or of the other of the contracting parties. In the regulation of fishing operations such matters as closed seasons, the Character, size and manner of using nets, engines, gears and other ap paratus was to be placed In the hands of two commissioners, one from Canada and the other from the United States. Under this treaty each of the contract ing parties appointed a commissioner. The present commissioners are David Starr Jordan, on behalf of the United States, and Prof. 10. E. Prince on behalf of CanaJa. i For many months these two gentlemen visited the waters affected, and, togethei with prominent fishing experts, carefully studied the situation In all Its aspects. They finally reached an agreement as to the various matters of mutual Interest, and presented their conclusions In reports to their respective governments. The findings have not been satisfactory to the fishing Interests of the United States. The salmon fishermen of the state of Washington assert that the treaty Itself Is unconstitutional, except s to the propa gation of fishes, since the waters of Puge: sound belong to the state of Washington, and that the Unlied States has no rl:h. to make a treaty in derogat.on of tha. ownership. They assert that there Is nu netd for protecting humpback talmon. and that Inasmuch as the close season under the new agreement Is made coincident with the opportunity for catching humpback salmon. It will therefore destroy tiie In dustry. Michigan fishermen declare that the new regulations would ruin the Industry in the great lakes, and In keeping with that dec laration they brought a lot of live fish to the United States senate, together with nets of a meh of the slie prescribed by the regulations. Taking the fish out of the tanks by their tails, the fishermen put them through the nets and showed that nearly all the herring which are caught in the great lake- ould escape If that kind of net was used. It Is said that unless the regulations laid down in the International agreement are greatly modified, they stand little show of being adopted by the United States con gress. This agreement provide" for the ap propriation by the Unirt-d States of Jl'iO.OOi for putting the regulations Into effect. Tiie annual cost of maintenance to the United States, which would Include the salaries of seven wardens, one Inspector and the main tenance of seven steam vessels and sixteen gasoline launches, would amount to about. $130,000. Another matter which is pending In which Canada and the United Slates are mutually Interested, Is the suppression of pelagic sealing. Congress has given the secretary of commerce and labor the right to dis continue the sealing concession on Pribllof Islands, and the Anglo-American treaty looks to the elimination of pelagic sealing In all North Pacific waters adjacent to Amer ica. The Canadians are asking that they Which will be rendered useless when they are cut off from the right of following be paid for their vesssels and equipment, the sealing industry. Steps may be taken to force Japan to stop sealing In those waters. Under present conddltions, the Japaonte have a great advantage over the American and English sealers. Being no party to the Anglo-American scaling treaty, they re fuse to abide by Its regulations, and follow the seals from their feeding grounds to the Islands whe're their young awlt their return. Using steam launches, tliey wmk great hav.io oi the se.il heids. ami utile- vas ami means are found to compel Uiem to slop It, tho Alaska seal Is sold to he doonitd to destruction. By rPEBXBXC J.
