birds arc re­
ported very plenniful in the aurround-
ing country, and the indicationa point
to a heavy list o f fatalities in the
pheasant family.
The first o f these
birds were turned looee in Oregon a-
boul twenty years ago, and when the
law declared open season they were
well started. There were not proper
restrictions and the birds were shot in
large numbera for the market.
Eight
years ago it was found that as a result
o f this promiscuous shooting the birds
w e r e nearly exterminated, and a
stringent law was at* once passed so
that since that time there has been on­
ly one open season, and that was two
years ago. This haa left the birds un­
molested, and aa a result they now
abound in large numbeia.
