When the bird law opened at mid
night, scores of guns were In readi
ness to be taken to the haunts of the
grouse. That the birds will suffer
from this time on until the season
closes again Is evident by the number
of licenses that have been taken out
during the last few days. The county
oelrk's office reports 260 licenses Bold
thus far this year, but a comparative
ly large number of these were Issued
during the laHt month and especially
during the last few days.
Tomorrow the hills will resound
with the crack of the rine, judging
from the number of local gun men
who are planning on going to the
hills for the day.
IiOW RATES SOOX.
ColonUt Rates From the Kant Effect
ive on SortemlKr First.
Fifteen days more and the colonist
rates from the east to Oregon over
the Hnrrlman lines will be In effect.
It Is snld that all available cars of the
sleeper nature are being rushod to the
east now, and that the transcontinen
tal railroad can handle the - crowd
with ease when the rush starts. Im
migration is always spasmodic, and
as the Influx of settlers Inst spring
was not as heavy as the year previous.
It Is believed that this year will see an
unprecedented rush to Oregon.
