State Game Commission Did Not
Make Closed Season on China

The open .season for grouse, quail,
Chinese pheasants, ducks, geese.
snipe and rail begins next Sunday,
October 1st, and already local nim-
rods are getting' out blunder
buss in anticipation of the sport field
and woods hold in store for them this
fall. The deer hunting season hlas
been open for some time and fishing
in the coast streams is said to be get
ting better.
While there are various differenc
es in the laws in different counties
concerning geese and ducks, the fed
eral law, which supercedes the state
law, is in effect from October 1 to
January 15. This makes the season
uniform throughout Oregon and
Washington.
The state of Oregon is divided into
two game districts. District No. 1
is that area of the state lying west
of the Cascade mountains, and Dis
trict No. 2 is east of the Cascades:
The season on Chinese pheasants and
grouse in District No. 1 is from Oc
tober 1 to October 31. In past years
it has been unlawful to kill female
Chinese pheasants, but the last legis
lature made a change in this law al
lowing hunters to kill one female in
a bag of five birds, or two females
in a bag of ten, which is the limit for
pheasants and gTouse in any seven
consecutive days. The season this
year is also open in Jackson and Un
ion counties for Chinese pheasant
from October 1 to October 10.
The season remains closed through
out the state on Bob-White quail
Ihe season on California or valley-
quail and mountain or plumed quail
is closed entirely throughout the
state, except that there is an open
season in Coos, Curry, Jackson and
Josephine counties from October
to October 31, and an open season in
Klamath county from October 1 to
October 10. The bag limit is ten birds
in any seven consecutive days.

opunsinen win nave to be very
careful in not shooting quail where
they are protected and also in not
shooting the European or Hungarian
partridge.
European or Hungarian partridge
has been introduced and is thriving
well in many parts of the state. This
bird is protected at all seasons. It is
a bird that is a little larger than the
quail in size. It is between quail
and Chinese pheasant and will be
found in a field like a Chinese pheas
ant-
European or Hungarian partridge
is generally grey in color and flics
very rapidly, mien in flight the red
brown tail feathers are noticeable,
distinguishing this bird from the Chi
nese pheasant, which has a long tail,
and the different varieties of quail.
There are a lot of ducks and geese,
although from the north flights are
not in s yet. Breeding is in good
shape this year and this applies to
ducks, geese and wading birds. There
is plenty of water in all the lakes,
and for this reason the outlook is
more favorable tlhis year than it was
last. Last year lots of the lakes were
dry because of the long dry spell. Be
cause of the rainy summer which we
axe just through enjoying, the lakes
are for the most part filled to over
flowing. On Chinese pheasants the winter j
was hard. This includes quail and all
upland birds. On the Chinas, the
hatching season was bad on account
of so mucin, rain lost spring.
Because the state fish and game
commission needs the license money
the petition of I'olk sportsmen for a
closed pheasant season this year his
been denied and those wlho desire to
hunt may do so. Local sportsmen say
there are few birds and it is prob
able that for this reason and also
from the desire to protect the birds
a number of local hunters will not
bunt this fall.

The object of this meeting is to
disseminate information concerning
the situation which confronts the dry
voters of the state at the November
election, and to enlist the services of
as many as possible to assist in cir
culating such information throughout
the county. Let us see you at these
meetings.
Has it occurred to you that your
life and the lives of your family may
depend upon what you do in the next
six weeks f If the brewer's amend
ment passes, intoxicating liquor will
flow like water, and drunken chauf
feurs will run amuck on every street
and highway in Oregon. Do you want
to face ia situation such as that, to
say nothing of all the other evils that
follow in the trail of booze? "If the
watchman see the sword come, and
blow not the trumpet, and the people
be not warned; if the sword come,
land take any person from among
them, his blood will I require at the
watchman's hand," (Ezek. 33:6)

to discharge in connection with this
campaign, show your colors, and put
your money, your individuality, and
your vote into it, as ex-Uovernor est

Civilization.
The wonderful luce feature "Civi
lization" comes to the Orpheum thea
ter on Saturday for a one-day en
gagement and the Portland Oregoni-
an on August 20th comments as fol
lows :
"Civilization," now being screen
ed at the Heilig theater, is one of the
most daring protests against the set
fishness and inhumanity of a-war of
greed and acquisition the world has
known. There is a bombardment of
a city by aeroplanes -where great
buildings are demolished and hun
dreds left dead under the debris of
the buildings. There is a naval bat
ne wnere dreadnoughts and super
dreadnoughts are battered to pieces
and sunk. One scene shows a mass
of soldiers fighting in a trench which
js in the range of the enemy's shells
and shrapnel. A great ocean liner
is torpedoed and women and children
drown.
Hardly less vivid is a superbly
staged fight in the interior of a sub
marine when its commander, sickened
at slaughter, opens the torpedo tube
and semis tfhe engine of death to the
bottom.
Many scenes of "Civilization"
grip the spectator tremendously. The
transition from peace to war comes
like a thunderclap. The miseries of
the conscription system are shown in
a vinle manner and it is not until
the Christ, reincarnated in the body
of the submarine commander, returns
to earth and works his miracles anew
that the audience relaxes a bit of its
tension and learns to love peace for
its own sake.
"Civilization" is to humanity what
water is to the parched throat of the
lesert traveler. It brings back sani
ty and understanding and is the most
powerful protest against war in the
history of the civilized world, says
one cntic.
It is safe to predict tliat the Or
pheum theater will be taxed its limit
s.s the attraction certainly deserves
it.
