The pupila of Room 11 had a jolly picnic Tuesday evening after school, t hey took a trip up the ravine back of the gas plant, to where nature has fur nished such an abundance of clear, sparkling spring water.

Every word of the lecture was followed with tho keenest in terest and the Jounfal, Calender, Receipt Book and Legislative Blanks which were loaned by Mr. Couch, were studied and discussed later.

Paid With License Money During the last few weeks people no doubt have heard or listened to politicians or others making campaign speeches criticizing the great cost of the upkeep of the Fish and Game Commission, explaining to the public that tho same waa a great expense to the taxpay ers. There are a great many people who, no doubt, believe that the protection of game birds, fish and propagation of birds and fish is paid for by the taxpayers. The state of Oregon is the only ono of the Union that has a self supporting Fish and Game Commission. There is not ono cent paid by any tax payer toward tho protection of game 01 any. Kind in this state, unless a person cares for the sport or pleasure. Tho entire department of game of this state Is sell supporting. All monies paid out of tho fund, called Game Protection Fund, cornea from hunters' and anglers' licenses. In most casea we do not hear tho man complain who pays for tho sport, as ho knows where tho money comes from thnt pays for this work. It is in most cases the person who believes that the same is derived from money out of the general fund created from taxpayers' money. If a man does not caro for tho pastime of fishing or hunt ing it does not cost him anything. - Frank Ervin. District State Game Warden, State of Oregon. General Compson G. A.
