HOTEL PORTLAND The Finest Hotel In the Northwest . Baiem, Or., Dec. I. The open season for Mongolian pheasants closed at midnight lat night, and, any one saving theae fine game blnls In hla possession for tha next ten montha or who will ahoot them during that time, will stand a good chance to fuce prosecution. The oheasants are hunt ed and slaughtered mercilessly durlnc the paat two months, the open aeaaon, and are probably as scare In the WH Inmette valley now as they have been In IS years. Not only were they hunt ed and alaughtered during the onen aeaaon, but for weeks before the flrat Of October the birds were tiiintail on.! Imany killed In violation of the law. It Is expected that the legislature this winter will enact a law, prohibit ing the killing of Mongolian pheasants for the next three or four ytars In order to give the birds an opportunity to Increase and multiply. Such a law was passed at the special session or the legislature In December. 1903. but owing to the fact that the final record showed that the bill had not received the required number of votes It was held to have not passed. There was a peculiar condition of affairs. The house or representatives was composed of 6 members, one of them having died after the regular session. A proclamation of the governor calling a special election to (111 the vacancy was issued, but the district In whU.h the vacanry occurred did not elect and waa unrepreeented. When the pheas ant bill came up for a vote In the house of representatives It was declared to have received II votes, and consequent ly passed. It passed the senate and was signed by the governor. In check Ing up the Journal of the house later, however, It was found that only SO members had voted for the bill, one less than a majority of the legal "mem ber of the house. A question was raised as to the bill having regularly become a law of the state, and It was decided not to enforce It, though It was held by mnny lawyera that the measure has passed, and waa good law. However, it Is reported that sufficient members of the legislature will support a similar bill this winter to enact It into law. i Some of the local hunters went out yesterday and secured a few birds for a final pheasant dinner, as they believe it win be a long time before they can again hunt tha birds without violation of law.
