Syllabus

<p>Fish — Licenses-—Expiration—Location. Where a. license for a fish trap expires before any trap has been actually constructed, the place becomes open water subject to the first proper location for the next season.</p> <p>Same — -Location—Plat — Description — Supeiciency. A clerical error in giving a fish trap location at a specified section corner in township 37, instead of township 33, will not invalidate a location, where the plat sufficiently identified the site by locating it off the west coast of Whidby Island, since no one could, be misled.</p> <p>Same — -Licenses—Prerequisite—Federal Permit. A Federal permit is not a prerequisite to the issuance of a state license for a fish trap, and failure to secure the same cannot be urged as an excuse for trespass on the location, it being a matter between the locator and the Federal authorities.</p>
