Elliott, state forester, Governor Pierce today Issued an order revoking his recent proclamation closing the for ests to hunters until Septem ber 20. Governor Pierce said he had been advised by the state tor ester that the recent rains have been general throughout the state, and that the fire hazards existing 10 days ago have been eliminated. The governor's order revoking the proclamation closing the deer season became effective this morning. The proclamation closing the forests to hunters was issued by Governor Pierce last Sat urday and resulted in a storm of protests from various parts of the state. As a result of the action of Governor Pierce In revoking the proclamation it is not be lieved likely that the suit now pending in the circuit court to test the constitutionality of the taw under which the ex ecutive issued his order clos ing the deer season, will be pressed. With the anounccment this morn inn that Governor Pierce had revoked his proclamation that the deer season :s now open, pre parations were made by a hoBt of hunters to ko Into the . woods of Douglas county.
