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.

Exposition committee have made a
report of the receipts and disburse
ments of the fair, 18.750.000 persons
passed through the turnstiles In the
seven months it has been opened up
to the public, more than 150,000,000
will have been expended in the con
struction and maintenance of the great
show and about the same amount will
have been spent by the public with
in the exposition grounds.
Of the total admissions about 15,
000,000 have been free, leaving four
teen millions paid admissions, from
which the exposition derived about
18,000,000. According to the best In
formation obtainable the receipts from
the consesslons have Just about equal

would give the exposition a total rev
enue of 112,000,000, to which msy be
added 1,000,000 more for receipts from
all other sources. This gives the ex

In addition the exposition obtained a

$1,000,000 to be divided among the!
