Game Warden Authorized to Semi Buy Wheat for Game Bird. Effort)) all over the state are being made to save Chinese pheasants, Cali fornia quail and the multitude of song birds from starvation on account of the snow. This appeal is timely in , the Grande Hondo where game birds are dying. A pheasant with its mouth full of snow was brought to the office of the state game commission In Portland yesterday. It was found inside the city limits ,. staggering along the ground. There are many hundreds of pheasants within the confines of Port land, but as these birds are accus tomed to coming near the houses, it is not believed any great loss will oc cur among them if city residents con tinue to put out food and water. Came wardens In every section of the state have been authorized by the commission to . purchase whatevor wheat is necessary to feed the birds during the snowi period. Supplies of wheat have been sent to a number of points along Die Columbia River. Governor Withycombo has asked of ficially that special attention be giv en to the protection of the birds dur ing the unusual wcnthor conditions. Union, Ore., Jan. 17. Tho Union High School baskotball teams opened the season here last Saturday night by defeating the boys' team from Cove High School by the decisive score of I! 8 to 20, but the girls' team lost to the visitors from the cherry city oy a score of 15 to 9. The games were fast and exciting, neither of the teams shuwinir much of an edge over the other until the latter part of the con texts. The Cove boys' team has already won from the Imbler and Worth l'ow der High School squads by large scores and were expected to make a better showing than they did. At the end of the first half the score stood 11 to 9 in favor of the Covites but the locals found themselves in the latter part of the game and rarely missed the hoop, chalking up a grand total of 88 points while the visitors annexed 20 during the game. The eirls game was one of the fast est ever witnessed on the home floor and was captured for the visiting team by the stellar work of Edna Jones whose playing was the feature or the game. , ' ,.

St. Paul, Minn. Jan. 18, Mike Gib bons and Jake Ahearn are to settle their grudge before the St. Paul A. C. tonight. It's quite a sizeable grudge, too, judging from the way the fighters have been swashing their teeth in public ever since the postponment of the first meeting. Ante-bellum state ments from both camps forecast an interesting . half hour this . evening. Deputy Game Wardens have re- i reived a telegram from W. L. Finley of the state game department and one of the best bird authorities in the Northwest, appealing to the people of time these birds may die in very large numbers unless succored. Native pheasants. Chinas, bob white quail, mountain quail and Cali fornia quail in this state and other upland birds, perish easily. With the ground covered, it is almost impossi ble for them to obtain food, except in the refuges maintained by the state. Starvation, coupled with freezing, dis counts their number rapidly. best f ood for any wild fowl, under some tree in a quiet spot, or spread the grain, after scraping away the snow, in a secluded place, the dire situation of the upland bird would be greatly relieved.
