FOREST GROVE, Or.. Feb 9. (To the Editor.) Much ha been written and aitl In the last few years about tla best plan for the protection of our frame birds, and especially the ducks, but so far no plan adopted appears to have tilled the bill. In this communication I will speak only of the ducks. Several years aso Tho Oreonian sent requests to various sportsmen In different parts of the state,- for their opinion as to the best plan for the protection of our same birds, and In all tbe answers published thore was onlv one which, in 6TEAYLEB INTELLIGENCE.

Am. steamship (Lan caster), with general cargo, for San Francisco. my opinion, gave a plan that would pro tect the game. But as it happened, the writer referred to was not a "sportsman." and his plan was so simple thut none of our Legislatures adopted it. He Is Judge Hall, of MarshfVld, and he said: "Limit the amount killed and see that the law is enforced." Members of the present Legislature called a meeting of the tfportsmen last woek to discuss a new law for game protection. It appears to me that The Oregonlan's plan, and that of the present Legislature calling on sportsmen for plans for game protec tion, is similar to what would happen were "crooks" at Salem called on to help make laws for the protection of property. Practically all of the game Is killed by sportsmen, and naturally they wish to pet all they can, like tho "crooks." In The Oregonlan's symposium of opinions from sportsmen published several years ago, was one from the secretary of the Oregon Fish and Game Protective Association, saying he "Did not seo how the present law could be Improved," and at that time the limit on ducks was 100 per day. I think that is unfortunate, coming from the secretary of the association that has practically con trolled the game laws of the state, and of course he voiced lh-a opinion of the asso ciation. Last week another man came into print protesting against a proposition to extend the shooting season through February, as serting that It was Spring shooting, breed ing time, etc, but did not suy a thing about cutting the bag limit, which Is now rS per day and 50 per week. I have passed as many years in Oregon as he has, and he and I know that the breeding of wild ducks In this state Is practically at an end, be cause the march of improvements has de stroved their natural breeding places. The swales, swamps and ponds have been ditched and drained, and the brush cleared that save thorn cover in nesting time. So, If not another duck was killed they would not nest where they would be disturbed by oassers. In The Onegonian of January 31 another writer alleges that the scarcity of ducks is caused by thulr nests being robbed by the Indians in Northern breeding grounds and who ship these birds' eggs in large quantities. I heard that story a long time ago, and if I remember aright It was In vestigated and found to be Incorrect, but It may be true at the present time. His estimate of the number killed by men be longing to clubs, along tbe Columbia River, I think is far too low. It would bo nearer what each member gets. I think it is a conservative estimate that nlrw-tenths of all the ducks killed in the state are taken along the Columbia River, and if the shooting season was from Sep tember t to December 31 for the Paciric Coast and Columbia River counties and the Klamath Basin, and from November 1 to the last day of February for the balance of th state, and the bag limit put at five per day and not more than ten per week, which is as much as any two families need, then all the shooters will have an equal show and thena will not be more than one duck kllb-d where I'd are now. I'nder our present law tbe Pacific Coast and Columbia River counties and the Klamath Basin get from five to seven months' shooting, and the halano of the state about two months. The reason for this Is because the nrst flights of ducks come about September 1. and as there is plentv of water along the roast. Columbia and Klamath, there the durks go. and th-a shooting commences. In the less-favored section of the state, where therv? is no ex tensive body of water, the ducks do not appear until the streames over How and fill the shallow ponds, which is generally the latter part of November, and it is often lHcember before there is water enough to bring ducks. 1 am for game protection.

TROUBLE BEGAN IN 1902 Litigation Over East Burnslde Pav ing Has Been Under "Way tor Years and Cost Exceeds . Money Involved. Boulders large enough to require a derrick for moving- them were pre sented in the State Circuit Court yes terday as exhibits in the litigation be tween the city and East Burnslde-street property-owners over an ancient street assessment. These big stones . were presented to offset the- clalma of the city that the street improvement was carried out according to contract back in 1902. The contract for improvement specified that no stones larger than four inches in diameter should be used. Some of those in court come nearer be ing four feet through. This is the third time this matter has been in court. and while the amount involved is only S2000. more time has been spent on the case than usually Is devoted to big litigations. Allowing for salaries of Judges, clerks and attorneys' fees, the litigation has already cost far more than the sum involved. Went to Supreme Court. The City of Portland versus A. A. Kadderly et al. is the title of the case. In 1902 East Burnslde street was im proved from Eighth to Twenty-eighth-streets. In 1903 some of the property owners applied for an injunction re straining the city from making an en forced collection for the Improvements. The injunction was denied and the case then went to the Supreme Court on a writ of review. Here the property owners again lost out. Now they are resisting re-assessment provided lately by the City Council as. a curative measure. It is unanimously alleged by owners of property affected by the assessment that the Improvement did not benefit them In the slightest degree. Had the contracting been properly carried out, so as to bring about effective improve ment, then there would not have been so great an outcry against the assess ment, it is urged. Dump Rocks on Floor. Eighteen- property-owners were on the witness-stand during the day to assure Court and jury that the Im provement did not enhance the value of their property. And to cap the cli max, the wagon-load of huge boulders was dumped into court, huge-muscled huskies being required to convey them to a conspicuous place at the feet of the Jurors. Most of yesterday afternoon was de voted to a legal fight as to the admis sibility of these boulders as exhibits. Deputy City Attorneys Tomlinson and Grant, who are representing the city's interests, contend that the rocks are not admissible because it has not been definitely shown that they were culled from the street In question. They ar gue, too, that the mere fact that there are a few replicas of Mount Hood In the street doesn't . necessarily argue that the improvement as a whole was not effective. R. It. Duniway. who is representing the property-owners. Insists that the boulders tend to show that the street wasn't improved according to contract, and that where half-ton stones are placed on a contract calling for fine rock the property-owners cannot be held to pay for the work. The follow ing property-owners appeared on the witness-stand during the day: T. H. Bechill, I. Buckman, M. Dant off, O. W. Olson, R. R. Duniway, A. A. Kadderly, D. B. Bush, C. A. West, Wil liam MacMaster, George W. Joseph, E. A. Bamford, Mrs. C. A. Coburn. E. H. Carlton. E. J. Altstook. E. M. Tucker, Frank Bruhn, E. C. Bronaugh and L. C. McCormick. BOYS WORK. CLEVER RUSE Tempt Dimes From Public by Play ing on Sympathies. If you happen to see some crying, rag ged urchin on the street who has been attacked and beaten by another boy who is wringing his hands because of having lost tlm "dime mother gave him to buy a soup-bone for hia tiick father," don't give way to easily-aroused sympathies and give the lad a coin. Instead, call the police. Not one, but half a dozen teams of bad boys are working that ruse in the city. One pair of youthful swindlers was cap tured yesterday by the Juvenile Court au thorities and the others are being watched for. The methods practiced are not the same In all instances, either. There is at least one boy in the city who has an original scheme which Is yielding him a large profit.. The two boys whose conduct was brought yesterday to the attention of the Juvenile Court have been reaping a small harvest in the past, it te said. Their names are withheld. In accordance with the rules of the Juvenile Court, but both are known to belong to South Portland families which are in comfortable cir cumstances. Placing themselves on a corner where many people would pass and yet where policemen are not likely to appear un expectedly, the boys would suddenly en gage in a fight. The larger boy, aged about 11 years, would suddenly turn and run away, leaving the smaller one crying at the top of his voice and rubbing the top of his Bhaggy head. Naturally some tender-hearted person would stop to console the child and ask him what was the matter with him. "He hurt my head and went and made me drop a dime." the young Togue would It is a generally recognized truth that medicines made, from vegetable ingredients are a great deal better adapted to the delicate human system, and sifer in every way, than those composed of etrong Imineral mixtures and compounds. Mercury, potash, arsenic, etc., which are used in the manufac ture of most blood medicines, are too violent in their action, and frequently derange the system by disturbing the stomach and digestion, afiecting the bowels, and when used for a prolonged period often cause Rheumatism. S. S. S. is the only blood medicine guaranteed absolutely and purely vegeta ble. It is made entirely of roots, herb9 and barks, selected for their purify ing and healing qualities. S. S. S. cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, Soies and Ulcers, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, and all other blood diseases, because it cleanses and purifies the blood, and at the same time builds up the entire system by its fine vegetable tonic effects. S. S. S. may be taken by young and old with absolute safety, and with the assurance that it will cure the diseases and disorders due to an impure and poisoned blood supply, even reaching down and removino- hereditary taints.

Some made it even stronger and some did not go quite so far. Chief Probation Officer Tenscher caught one little rascal crying as if his heart would break while a kindly-appearing woman was stroking his head and listening to his sad tale of wanting to sell papers to help support his aged mother, but having no money to buy the first papers. The wo man was just opening her purse when the officer came up and recognized the weep ing boy as the son of a prosperous family. He was cautioned that any further con duct of that kind would result in his be ing sent to the Juvenile Court for treat ment. Fifty Defendants In Case. Fifty defendants are named In a suit affecting title to a small strip of land. The action was filed in the State Circuit Court, yesterday forenoon by Phoebe Allen, who sets out that In buying a strip of land from the re ceiver of Edgar Allen's worldly effects the title was not clear and as the matter now stands she merely has ti tle to "an undivided one-half Of lot 13, block 6, Sunnyside," whereas th,e north half was what she meant to purchase. The 50 defendants named in the suit to quiet title are the credi tors of Allen. Complaint Is Found Faulty. Martin Phllipps, keeper of a North End saloon and something of a poli tician, enjoyed a fortunate turn in a charge of keeping his saloon open on Sunday, when the case was presented in the State Circuit Court, yesterday. It was found that the complaint drawn against him by the District Attorney's office was defective and on motion of District Attorney Cameron the case was dismissed. Philipps conducts a combination saloon and billiard room, the two being separated on Sundays by a thin wooden partition seven feet high. Mrs. A. R. Cooper Asks Decree. Ethel L. Cooper brought divorce proceedings in the State Circuit Court yesterday against Arthur Ray Cooper. Desertion and failure to support are the causes assigned. The couple was married April 12, 1906, and the hus band left last August, going to Los Angeles, it is alleged. 3BUSCHKE WANTS .SHIM SUES PACIFIC COAST LUMBER COMPANY. FOR $6100. Alleges He Was Employed as Gen eral Manager at $500, but Com pany Contends Otherwise. The suit of C. J. Bruschke against the Pacific Coast Lumber & Manufacturing Company of Corbln, Curry County, Or., and of Berkeley, Cal.. came to trial yes terday afternoon before Judge Wolverton. Bruschke is seeking to recover $6100 which he says is due him as salary on a contract which he alleges was violated by the lumber company. In his complaint, Bruschke alleges that he had been employed by the lumber company as general manager of the man ufacturing plant at Berkeley and the lumber mill at Corbln in November 1900, at a salary of S500 a month. He says he only received S400. The lumber company denied in Its an swer that Bruschke had been employed as general manager at $500 a month, and contended he had been employed as su perintendent at a salary of $200 a month. The company also states that at the time Bruschke was employed as general manager he was a member of the cor poration. Judge E. B. Walson and John T. Hall, of Marshfield,. are attorneys for Bruschke, and H. M. Cake and J. T. McKee are counsel for the lumber com pany. The Jury that will hear the evidence is composed of S. Plymale, John Sneed, J. O.

WILLS ACTS .AGAIN Asks Council to Revoke Three Saloon Licenses. MAYOR OFFERS TO HELP Councilman Who Made North End Raid Requests Auditor to Cite Blazier and Zetos, to Ap pear for Hearing. Councilman Wills called at the City Hall yesterday and instructed License Inspector Hutchinson to cite Ed Blazier, the proprietor of Erickson's and Max Zetos to appear before the next meeting of the liquor license committee of the City Council to show cause why their licenses should not be revoked. This Is following out his recently-announced pol icy of cleaning up some North End re sorts that he says are too tough to be allowed to run. Wills last Saturday night conducted a raid on Blazier's saloon, at Third and Burnslde streets, when 36 men were found seated at a poker table, playing a game for money. They pleaded guilty in the Municipal Court Monday after noon and were fined So each, which Ed Blazier paid. Since securing a conviction of these men. Councilman Wills announces that he will follow up his action and endeavor to secure revocation of their licenses, as he says he does not consider such sa loonkeepers worthy of a license. He also found what he declares are bad conditions at Erickson's. just across Burnside street from Blazier's, and at Zetos' saloon. 220 Sixth street, he caught the proprietor selling liquor to an intox icated man, which Is contrary to a city ordinance. Mr. Wills had Zetos arrest ed, and now proposes to have the license revoked, if possible, and says he has suf ficient evidence to warrant such action by the Council. Mayor Lane, when informed of th proposed investigation of the three sa loons at the instigation of Mr. Wrills. said he would do all in his power to assist in bettering conditions in any part of the city. "I am glad to see Mr. Wills taklnsr such an interest In city affairs," said Mayor Lane. "I will give him all the help I can. I have always held that the best way to straighten out a bad ealoonkeeper is to take his license away; I have often asked the Council to do this in some cases, as there is no use in employing policemen to keep tab on sa loons where men are playing cards on the sly, when the players do not have money In sight when policemen enter. The way to do it is to revoke the license of any saloonkeeper where gambling Is allowed, once it is established that he allowed It." There was a rumor yesterday to the effect that ' Councilman Wills intended Introducing a resolution into the Council today, calling for an investigation of the Police Department, but Mr. Wills denied MAKE LAZY LIVERS WORK You know that tired feeling the feeling that is so prevalent in Spring and Summer?
