Burleson admitted to say that his department had re ceived very few complaints regarding violations of the game laws for some ttme past. Ho declared j?nnie to be much more plentiful today than it was a few years ago, and this was espe cially true of deer, which have recent ly been seen in the foothills in good , sized herds. . Senator C. R. Kberhard and Repre sentative Albert Hunter told the club members about their work at Salem in the last legislature on the resolu tlons sent down by the elub. Strong opposition from the Willamette valley sportsmen to the requests of the Kn st ern Oregon men wns encountered, they said. The club's request tht the statt biologist be dispensed with was im 1 possible, Mr. Eberhnrd said. He de clared that n whole army would be required to remove him, A vote ol thnnks was tendered these gentlemen by the club for their efforts in the club's behalf, and included in the mo tion to this effect were also Senator Tierce and Representative Rurnaugh whi kt nil present. President Hijyt introduced to the club three new members, Messrs. Rnspr. These gentlemen responded brit-fly to the introductions. ; The meeting then became a socio' session.

I The order of removal was served at noon, without previous notification, !nid the statement, and continued: I "iturleson itcives as his reason foi the order thui we failed to carry out : his orders and instructions. Wo do nut know what Burleson refers to in the l way oil orderw .and instructions This Is all simply a pretext. "The statement that we failed to put into effect the wago schedule is dis- Coition. We announced an increase on this and told us to do the best we could. Burleson's statement on the wage schedule is a deliberate attempt to distort the facts. ''Wo did refuse to nssent to a pro posal made by Burleson's operating board of the Western Union office to increase telegraphic, rates, but it nev er reached the form of a.i order. Bur leson refrained from mentioning this, and it may be the reason of the re moval." The statement declared the action of the postmaster general to be ''one of the most despotic acts ih the his tory of the government," and said that his purpose evidently is to de stroy the Rental Telegraph system. The men appointed to take over the property, it charged, knew nothing about the telegraph business. Ancient Cameo 8olc7.

Tho diive is under the auc pices of the Red Cress and is for all the distressed people of Europe, excepting tho Central Towers. When It is realized that among the hun dreds of thousands of refugees now In France tho need for clothing in more Imperative than' food there should bo no lack of Inspiration to clean house with a von seance and insist that ycur neighbor go and do likewise. I Here is the substance of a state-' ment contained In a recent report . of fifty investlgjtoiB of the Amerl- j can Red Cross working among the; 200.000 refugees gathered In and about Paris. The report says: "Most of tho refugee families man age to - nourish, themselves on tho government allowance and- their small wages, but they are by no means able to clothe themselves. Ay the present prices of clothing in France are prohibitive, the need for this kind of assistance is obvious. Accordingly, iwe decided to glvo food only when special nourishment wan ordered by a physician, but to con tinue to look ufter the clothing need as Imperative." ' It is estimated thai the German invasion in France and Delitiuni mudo wanderers of 1,250.000 form ojiy happy country people of these countrcs. Now th.it the conflict Ih over and the occupi"d territories of Franco and Belgium havo been lib orated, these rofunecb arc hastening- back to their former homes In large numbers.
