BY THE FLOODS
Water in Low Lands Fur
nish Plenty of Feed
Guns Are Being Put
Away by Local Nimrods
Duck hunters tiro thinking of clean
ing np tho guns to put away for the
rest of the seasoi:, for the sport has
been about killed. Tho flood spreading
over sneh a large aroa nf low land has
Neattered duck hunting to tho winds
mid even the most optimistic of the
tribe of loeal nimrods have little hopes
of tho Hport picking up nfter the fresh
ets go down.
The flood enmo nt a time when there
waw every prospect of duck hunting
picking up. A full fbi-ht of canvas
baeks had yet to arrive nnd populate
"the tules of the Rogue, although there
nave been some fair IiIIh on utray
bands.
With pomlK of water everywhere in
the low sections and the sloughs nnd
tules well supplied the birds from now
on until the season closon will have
abundance to feed on.
Old Jupiter Pluviu hud au awful
time satisfying tho hunters this year.
For the first month or -so of the season
he held off his offering with, a surpris
ing baBhfuIness and as a result the
birds went elsewhere to get fresh feed
and water. Then the rain bag was;
opened just a trifle and enough water
let out to start tender phoots to gr w
ing. This brought hunting to a fairly
high standard nnd for a time limit bags
were secured with more of a freitieney
theri any time previonn ami the hunt
er were smiling. Hid these conditions
lasted byl a few we--lis when copious
shitwi'i's falling sleadi!; put ton much
welni-ss in the marslici. This was ihe
hejM lining nf tho end, for the recent
:iturm took a footing about then and
li : s since played havtic.
