THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX, PORTLAND, DECEMBER 26. 19C9. 3 LAW LACKING BIG E FUND IDLE State Warden Barred From Using $30,352.82 on Hand for Hatcheries. STEVENSON'S REPORT IN I'ailure of Last Legislature to Pass Specific Act Authorizing Ex penditure of License Tax Blocks Improvement. r allure of the Oregon . Legislature last Winter to authorize specifically the expenditure of the funds received from hunting and fishing licenses for Hie erection of one or more hatcheries Is responsible for the accumulation of over $30,000 in the "game protection fund" of the state. This condition is pointed out by R. O. Stevenson. State ;me and Forestry Warden, who has Just completed his report for the year ending December 1 last. It was the in tention of Mr. Stevenson to proceed with the erection of a trout hatchery nd a pheasant Incubator with the funds at his disposal, but, upon appeal ing to Attorney-General Crawford for nn opinion, he was advised to retain the fund until the Legislature provides by enactment a specific plan for spend ing the money, which, according to tbe Attorney-Ueneral. will then be Im- j mediately available. Many Xlmrods Licensed. The report of Mr. Stevenson shows that the receipts from Ashing and hunting licenses In the state for the year were J43.031.68. which, with a bal ance on hand last December of 97998.96, made a total of $51,939.54. The ex penses of the deputies during the year aggregated $20,677.72. leaving a bal ance on hand of $30,352.82. Referring to this fund, the report says: L-rf-st It should seem to appear that the loneys available for game protection ve not been properly expended, bv rea- n of the large amount on hand, I de- e to say that It had been, until re itly, my purpose to proceed to erect a or more trout hatcheries, under the visions of section 53 of the game laws 1909. This section provides, among ler things, that the moneys received m the snle of hunters' and anglers' nses shall be used for the 'protection . propagation of game and game fish. Specific Ji&w Violated. 1 found throughout the state a gen 1 demand for the erection of one or re trout hatcheries and was prcpar to undertake plana looking to the cutlon of what appeared to be the in t and spirit of the law in this regard en a question was raised respecting authority to erect hatcheries by rea i of the absence of any specific pro Ion of the statute authorizing their action." After referring to the opinion of the ttorney-Oeneral. the report concludes as follows: "This department has been unable to arry out the evident Intent of the Leg islature but as soon as tho specific au thority has been conferred, a number of hatcheries can be erected and at such timn the fund available therefor will be sufficient to permit of their erection with out the necessity of an appropriation either for their construction or main tenance. Xcw I.uws Satisfactory. "In conclusion T beg to say that the greater part of the time embraced in tills report is covered by the admin istration of this office under the code of game laws enacted at the last ses sion of the Legislature. The operation of the new laws has been generally xatisfactory from the viewpoint of the game department. It is an omen of good cheer that public regard for game Ihw enforcement is on the uplift and that violation of these laws is not nearly so general as formerly and has not been so flagrant as oftentimes re ported. "The Increased revenue for use in game protection has enabled this office to conduct a much mora active and ef fective prosecution for violations than heretofore and the success which has intended the administration of the of flee by reason thereof is attested by the fact that the number of convic tions is much larger than in former years." Klues Amount to $5668. The report shows that during the 12 months there were a total of 199 arrests for various violations of the game laws. of that number only 2fi were acquitted or dismissed, the total of fines Imposed being $r66S. ' The pf 'fenses ranged from hunting without a license to dumping sawdust in a stream. Tho principal charge covered in tho lartre number of arrests was hunting and killing deer with dogs Among the large variety of complain Is HiieeesKfully prosecuted were the fol lowing: Trapptnsr beave.r. illegal Ash ing, having untagged deer hides, sell ing trout, killing grouse, yanking trout, eatehing trout less than six inches long, shooting fish, killing ducks. selling ducks, catchins salmon with grab hook, killing Chinese pheasants 'and killing female deer. The fines ranged from. $?S to $100. Mr. Stevenson s report shows a small Ualanee in the appropriation for his .lepartment for the year. The Game Warden is allowed a salary of $1200 :cr annum and an expense allowance f $S00. with a further allowance of -- v" .

Representative Reed t. of Kansas. "Irrigation Bill," they I'ali hint at home, is one of the few Western men in Congress opposed to a bond Issue or some other form of legislation proposing- to raise additional money to construct Government irriga tion projects. Reeder is bitterly op posed to any such scheme as has been recommended by President Taft. Secre tary Balliner and a score of promi nent Western men in Senate and House, feeder Is chairman of the House com mittee on irrigation. Bill' Reeder has been giving" con siderable thought to this question since ha landed in Washington, and the more he has thought the more determined he has become that there shall be no uca legislation. In the solitude of his lommlttee-room, Reeder framed up a ;herae whereby, single-handed, if need GAM be, but with the aid of his committee more likely, ho would kill off the bond bill and every other bill proposing to raise money for this purpose, be it by bonds, certificates, warrants or what not. It was a nice little scheme, and In asmuch as Speaker Cannon packed the irrigation committee with Eastern members, no doubt it would work, but Reeder will not have a chance, for the Speaker has decided that any legis lation of this character shall be re ferred to the committee on ways and means, on the theory- that it is legis lation for raisins revenue. In the ways and means committee the Speaker can fret exactly what action he desires. There is no opportunity for a slip-up with Sereno E. Payne and John Dalzell on guard. And thus It happens that all Reeder's deep-laid plans have gone for naught. NEWSBOYS FIND FRIENDS PHILANTHROPIC PORTLAXDEKS FORM GENERAL CLUB. Athletic Training and fellowship Will Be Provided For Lads Who Sell Papers on Street. During the past week, the newsboys of Portland have organized themselves, with the help of three or four prominent citi zens, into the "Portland Newsboys' Asso ciation." This is an entirely new organi- Paul Schneider, Newly Elected Presi dent of Portland Newsboys' As sociation. zation, and has no relation to similar associations that have existed in the past. Credit for the successful start of the new club should be given Paul Schneider, one of the leaders among- the boys, who Interested several Portland-men, and with them succeeded in getting the use of the People's Institute, at Fourth end Burn- j side streets, for headquarters, and Inter- ; estod the boys and persuaded them to j turn out for the meetings. During? the past week i mass meeting of most of the newsboys in- the city was held at the People's Institute, and with Mrs. W. H. Chapin presidiiiK. officers wore elected as follows: President, Paul Schneider; xice-president, Mrs. Y. H. Chapin; secretary, IX K. Keasy; treas urer, Ralph Hoyt; sergeants-at-arms, M. Schwarta and M. Newman. Tlie follow ing executive committee was also elected: j M. Rosencrantz, John Bowman, L. Gold- sione, a. t,ohen, iJ. t'oisky. There are about 200 members in the association. The dues will be B cents a week, and any member who does not pay the dues will be promptly ousted. It is not thought that any of the boys,, will fail to live up to requirements, for they are all Interested and are taking hold of the proposition with gTeat enjthusiasm. In their headquarters at the People's Institute, the boys will have a gymna sium, reading-room, and other conven iences, to be added to from time to time. I The philanthropic officers of the assocla ! tion will furnish funds for equipment and I uniforms for the boys. Ba.dfires haye al- ready been obtained and the uniforms will be on hand soon. Oymnasium classes have been organ ized, and Professor Robert Krohn has offered to take charge of this work. He has divided the boys into squads of 12, and will instruct them e-ery week in drills 'and various gymnastic stunts. Basketball, baseball, wrestling, boxing and track teams will be organized. Mr. Krohn is nlso preparing to train the boys for a public exhibition to be given some time in the next few months. He finds his charges axe very willing pupils. Yesterday afternoon the boys were treated to a Christmas dinner by Seneca Pouts, o-t the Peerless Cafeteria. About 375 boys were present and they had the time of their lives.

There has Just been arrested a young man named EmJIe Piquet, who, desirous of emulating the exploits of Gallay, "the bank clerk Baron," made free use of the contents of the safe entrusted to his care. He also was a bank clerk, employed In an establishment In the Rue Lafayette. Ha fell in love with a young woman whose tastes were so ex pensive it was Impossible to gratify them with his modest salary. In order to make his conquest complete, he ne gotiated bonds deposited in the bank and with the money loaded his fair charmer with jewels. He became a speculator on the Bourse, gambled at the Casino at Eng heim and attended race meetings. His lavish prodigality attracted the atten tion of a dazzling denizen of the "half world." He considered her more beau tiful than his first flame, and more ex acting in her demands. Thepleasure of pleasing her cost him several thou sand dollars in. three days. Like Gal lay, his career, though merry, was cut short by a discovery at the bank. It led to the bank lodging a complaint, which was followed by the arrest of Piquet. He is now in the Sante prison, meditating on the costliness, not to speak of the danger, of certain femi nine charms. DAJJLY .METEOROLOGICAL REPORT. PORTLAND. Dec. 25.
