Renorts generally are to the

numerous as hoped for, 'There
were many hunters in the fields

But one arrest was made

-The deputies are reported as
having been rather alert. They
inspected . a number of vehicles
and hunting bags, and in an in
stance created some bad feeling.
.One I of . them stopped County
Surveyor F; M. Wilkes who, was
driving along the road in pur-
...gun, but his wagon was searched.
Mr, Wilkes thinks this nothing
Jess than tyranny and he voices
his -protest in no mistakable
language.
It is reported that there was
considerable violation of that
section of the law declaring
against shooting from the road.
Firing from vehicles in the road
is strictly forbidden but some of
this was done.
M.T.Burnett got the, limit
jfcowjiuajf. xie is incimea to ieei
that there are no more birds
than there were last year. He
hunted. over the burned area
south of Corvallis and ran into a
deputy every ten feet. Mr.
Burnett thinks that big fire . des
troyed many young birds as well
as old ones. Because of inabil
ity to tell whether the bird was
a male or female he missed
many good shots.
E. E. Wilson and M. H. Bauer,
who went to the Jess Foster
place and hunted, failed to bag
as many as ' the law permits.
Mr. Wilson says the Foster place
has ever been counted the best
hunting place in this section; but
yesterday the pheasants were
not in evidence.

A'fter mpre or less unpleasant
ness and an attempt to build a
wooden Valk in this cement dis
trict,' Mr.; Wygant finally gave in
and laid; a cement walk. Mr.
Davis neglected the matter and
finally , sold his lot to L. G.
PickeL This resulted in further
misunderstanding, as Mr. Pickel
claims to have bought the lot on
ah agreement that Mr. Davis
would meet assessments against
the property. The city wants
that ' cement walk built so Mr'
Davis was brought before the
Judge on a charge of violatiner
