WILD GEESE
LIVING FAT,
GUNS BARRED
Thousands of Bis Honkers
Make Home on State Hos
pital Land East of City
Geese wild geese thousands
of 'em.
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 ;-, .

Although four days have passed

at the station still were hopeful
tonight of the safety of the five

Search of the entire area to
which the wind might have blown
the craft has been made, by dirig

without success. Failure to find
any traces of the balloon Was
taken by air officials as Indicat
ing that the craft .either drifted
to, some unfrequented spot or
that the men were picked lip bfcr
some fishing boats. As the dur
