Killing the Does GRANTS PASS. Oct. 18. The Courier makes this complaint of law violation. ,"WithIn the past two days, evidences of the killing of two doe deer, within a few miles of Grants Pass, have been found. In one instance the head and other evidence had been put in a sack and thrown into the Rogue. In the other instance the deer bad been skinned ' and no effort made to destroy the" evi dence. A little fawn, which in a day or two would have died of starvation, or fallen victim to the coyotes or other wild animals, was close by. "These two cases are but indi cations of what is going on. It shows that the deer are not blng protected by the hunters as they should be, for upon the protection of the does depends the future of the hunting of southern Oregon. It was not a sportsman who killed the does. The sportsman seeks, instead, to protect them and will take only his quota of bucks, as allowed by law. But the killer of the does saw a chance and could not resist temptation. i " This sort of hunting presents a serious problem for It is almost Impossible to catch those guilty as a single warden cannot covef the whole district." j OEDICATilOF STATUE FEB. 23 Site in State House Grounds Selected for MThe Cir cuit.
