mm THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, WEDNE8PAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER U. ltM. 14 HUNTERS PREPARE FOR WANTS East Side Sportsman Getting Ready for the Approaching Opan Season. BIRDS ARE SAID TO BE PLENTIFUL THIS YEAR Haunts of the Swift-Winged Fowl Being Spotted by Would-Be Slaughterer Ranchers Are Not Friendly Toward City Hunters. (Stft Bide Department.) East aid sportsmen are Impatiently awaiting the beginning of the open sea son, next Monday, when shooting the king of all game birds, the Mongolian pheasant, becomes legal for a period of SO days. Trusty Parkers and Winches ters t are being brought out, cleaned, oiled and made ready for the slaugh ter that will begin at the break of day, October 1. A number of fine bird dogs that hare been away attending canine training schools, several of which are located In nearby towns, have been or dered returned to their owners ptep aratory for the great hunts that are scheduled to begin next week. A majority of east aide hunters will betake themselves to the stubble fields and partly wooded tracts near Contains, Eugene, Albany and other Willamette valley towns. The Willamette valley la the natural home of the Chinese pheas ant. There the fields and woods are said to be well stocked with the birds, although disquieting reports have come In the past few days from portions of the valley, saying; that the farmers have been doing a lot of closed season shoot ing. In some sections of the valley "the assy shooting" Is said to be gone already, the farmers having; raked their fields during- the summer months, kill ing hundreds of pheasants. Dissatisfaction .with the gun license law la said to be at the bottom of this closed season hunting. The farmers de clare that they don't intend to contribute to a fund for the protection of birds for the city sportsmen to come along and slaughter by the thousands In a few days time. ' These ranchers assert the right to kill the birds that they raise on their own land. A bitter feeling haa kMn stirred up In 'the past two or three hunting seasons between the city sportsmen and the valley ranchers, dus to what the ranchers call indiscriminate and ruthless slaughtar of the pheasants by town hunters. Not all the good pheasant shooting is to be found In the upper Willamette valley. Excellent sport of this kind Is. to be bad within a few miles of Port land. The grain fields and upland woods between Moata villa and Uresham. are fairly well stocked with the Denny pheasant The territory between Clack amas station and Damascus was for merly a favorite district with the hunters of this game bird; but since the elect rio car haa invaded the dis trict the pheasants have sought fields less frequented by man. The territory skirting- the Columbia river, from the city to Troutdale. Is reported to be well stocked with pheasants this year. It is known that several hunters have an eya on this field. IMa-aaid that the ranch ers In the extreme eastern part of Multnomah oountv are preparing to guard their fields and warn off all olty hunters. Because of the defects aald to be In Oregon's trespass lawa, posting fenced land does not serve to keep out the city sportsmen. FULTON DEFENDS TEXAS SENATOR Daclaraa Ha Baliavas Bailey la Honest Man Notwithstand ing Statements. Mayor Hlnman s promise upon taking the oath of office, that the seaslone of the St. Johns council should thereafter be short and to the point was not ful filled at the long-drawn-out and stren uous session held last night The fight nvar the 'ordinance Introduced two weeks ago to extend the fire limits hrousht on an animated and personal controversy between Counctlmen King and Hewitt. The Utter -favors an ex tension of the present limits, while the former is opposed to any change. Each Questioned the other's motives and all aorta of spicy remarks were In dulged in. The question finally became ao badly tana-led that recourse waa naa 10 week's postponement. A motion to re move an arc light near Councilman Hewitt's residence had the opposite ef fect from that produced by pouring oil on troubled waters; la fact. It waa like addlna fuel to the flame. Recorder Thorndyke announced that he Is In a quandary as to how to settle with ex-Citv Engineer Goodrich, as the engineer refuses to pay the advertising fee for street improvements out or ma 6 ner cent commission. Ulty Attorney Green advised that the engineer should be compelled to pay for the advertising out of this commission, while Mr. uooa rich avows his intention to do nothing of the kind. To add to the confusion, the mayor declared, when he went Into office, that, appointive offices were va cant, and haa so far failed to appoint a city engineeer. which leavea the street improvement work in bad snaps. An effort waa made to give the mayor the veto power, now denied him by the charter. Councilman Hewitt took offense at this action, declaring that It was proposed for the purpose of defeating- the ordinance . to extend the fire limits, since the mayor haa ex pressed his opposition to such a measure. The building committee was author ised . to advertise for bids, to complete the walls, roofing, flooring and parti tion studding- of the city halt The ideaf the council Is, that when that uclr work is done, the remainder of is city hall fund can bagged In com pleting the rooms most needed for car rying on the citys business. Mayor Hlnman made good his prom ise to stop outsiders from interfering with the deliberations of the council. Several by-standers sought recognition United States Senator Charlaa W. Pulton thinks that the stories appearing In the newspapers at present concern ing Senator Joseph Bailey, of Texas, are published for the purpose of besmirching- the Texan'a character, of which Sen ator Pulton has a vary high regard. "I have not gone Into the Investiga tion very deeply," said Senator Pulton at the Imperial hotel this morning, "but I believe Senator Bailey la an honest man and it will take a great deal of evi dence to make me believe otherwise. "I know Bailey well, and have the highest regard for his ability and In tegrity. He may have been Indiscreet, but I do not believe that ha waa aver dishonest. These are old charges that have been dug up out of the muck heap time and again. They were brought up when he first ran for office and have bobbed up continually ever since. "There is no doubt In my mind as to the. honesty of Bailey. I should say that he la one, of the moat conscientious men in public life and would not think of committing a wrong. Ha la high- minded. Incorruptible and without doubt one of the brainiest men in the United States."
