A string of wild ducks, two dozen ot em. in front of Anderson & Brown's, that were killed in oiiie of the ponds over in Pok eounty Sunday, are the text on which Doscoe Shelton. deputy as sessor, lianas an interesting tale. "Things are not 's the ued to b in Oregon," was Mr. Shel ton's comment. "There was a time, in my boyhood, when you could take a gun and go out and get the limit of birds almost in the city limits of Salem. They used to come in droves, almost up to the capitol, and you fairly had to shoot 'em to save the women and children. Over in West Salem, or rather where West Salem now is, more Chinas could be picked up in an hour than most men ever see in these days. There was only one house on the whole flat in those days, and the birds didn't care a hoot for that. "A party of us used to have a boat that we'd put on a wagon and go up to Mehama. where we'd take the water and float down some times clear to Salem. We used to count it about the same as shov eling sand or Roing to pail or eat ing at the third table on Christ mas or Thanksgiving, if we didn't get at least 150 fish on the way down: or a boatload of ducks in the duck season. Nowadays, if one were to find an empty duck feather off a girl's last year's hat. or catch maybe a dozen or 2o dys peptie fish, it would be a success ful trip for those to whom even a picture of a wild prairie dog brings a thrill. Why. in the old tiems, the bayous running down from the end of the bridge on the Polk county side, were the most won derful dnck preserves you ever saw. You could aimost go out there, pick out the fattest duck by tickling hiiu in, the ribs, and wring ais neck with one hand while with the other hand you fought off the other ducks that wanted you to take them too. Hunting was a bird of a sport in those happy days. Hunting and fishing today are not fair ghosts of what they used to be." Mr. Shelton was a professional gun man. for a number of years, traveling for the Remington com pany to demonstrate their prod ucts. He has an old Grag. military rifle that has fired 10,000 shots and is still in good shooting or der; and other guns from the earlier days of- good eyesight and a suptle waistline. Tne county gained. a mighty good accountant when he gave up the gun shooting game and settled down to trouble shooting on the books with a pen cil instead of a trigger on his fin ger.
