And in the very finest con dition for the table of an epicure. And no closed season against shooting the bonkers. Ain't it a grand and glorious feeling? But someone, or something, is always taking the joy out of life. There is a cruel law against shooting a gun or a goose on state land, and this great flock of wild geese Is llrlng. fat on the lands of the state hospital just east of Salem, so all the eager nirarod can do is stand in the road and look at 'em. They are gobbling np the vege tation and the grain and threat ening the crops, but no one dares have a shot at them while they are on the lands belonging, to the state of Oregon. ' The geese seem to know this perfectly well. From dawn until dusk the fine big birds lire a life of leisure and luxury unmolested. and at dark the colonel of the regiment bonks a command to mobilize and they rise In long, orderly, lines and are off to the Santiam for the night. FOr the delectation of visitors yesterday. DrJ R. E. L. - Steiner. superintendent of the hospital, walked into' the field to scare Hp a big flock of the birds, feeding 300 yards away. No sooner was he in the field than every goose's head was in the air. Then almost without a movement , perceptible fo the onlooker the disorganized mass was resolved Into a long, straight line. . In -. perfect accord powerful wings lifted the line into the air and . the . geese resumed their feeding on the far side of the field.- v ;-, . UEIH.
