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

also to Sunday fishing. 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
