At that time tho need for legislation that would enable Oregon reclamation districts to take advantage of tho opportunity to secure fed eral funds for rehabilitation was considered and a committee, headed by Senator Upton, named to prepare (.ho noccsaary bills. Tho committee, and Senator Upton In particular, did a good Job. y Bondholders and other creditors are being asked to scale clown tliolr claims and two or tho bills in question make It possible for district boards to cancel or compromise assessments and for county court to do tho some as lo ad valorem taxes. , , .

To, The Editor: i I havo reaal various nrtlclos in your paper and others slgneU by some" of our citizens In regard- to the ruthlraa slaying of elk and. other game, con demning the game commission ana outeldo sportsmen, and I do not whol ly, agree with them. ; ' No doubt there were violations as there always are of this and other laws, but most of the rumors were exaggerated or proved untrue and some offenders were legally prose cuted. A large number of hunters hod little or no knowledge of caring for an elk carcass and the exceptionally worm weather made It more difficult. Considering the number of hunters but .! would say the number of acci dents and lew violations was few. 1 Sportsmen, stockmen and formers In outlying districts have been clam oring at the gome commission for several years to open tho season and It was with a view of satisfying- this class of people that the season wis opened, stockmen and outlying farm ers pay a heavy toll In keeping these animolsj In regions where they ore numerous, os they, will respect no fence, grain field or haystack, nnd the commission has been .besieged with complaints and threats from farmers and In some cases has .been forced to make personal efrorts to aid, some irate rancher. The killing of the old .bulls does not Impair the breeding stock of elk but a very little as they are very much like cattle and no rancher keeps hlo old herd bulls and It Is the old bulls that become the biggest nuisance and In many cases a men ace. No farmer would appreciate- hav ing a herd of his neighbor's cattle In his grain field or haystack, ond you con well Imagine the result If his neighbor Insisted his cattle were pro tected by law and would pay no dam ages. And It Is almost Impossible to fence against elk. To the man who had nothing to lose the situation might be humorous or ho might say "Mr. Smith shot Mr, Jones' poor Inoffensive cattle." ' . I have farmed ond raised livestock in this county for 20 years and as elk ore fairly numerous hero- I think' I am pretty familiar with mu sme 01 the question. As.to.the outside -.hunt- era I- think that ir any 01. us w wanted to nunt In. another state and bought out; license, wo would feel, we hott a perfect light to do so and as the elk. season hod been closed since lflOB. it naturally did attract a lot of popple, ' ! ' - lii writing this I do not wish to appear as devoid of sentiment. I am Igl'sd-'tlie-t I! am living In a time when I can see these animals In their 110, Uural state and I have spent hours studying tliolr habits. But I con see no reason to protect them to the ex itont where thoy become a nulsancs. Wo have an open, season on deer and other game, wiiy not on open season on elk? I would ' also suggest- 0 ,ol)ango In tills open seaoon: Agalnstj the average hunter, the elk Is perfectly, able to toko core of It self, as many hunters can tell. you. I hoard, a man from Baker state that In his opinion the elk needed no protection but 'he thought the state should make a ten-day season and, pay a man three ddllars a day to hunt them--Instead -'of '-charging him for a license.'
