FOWL FINALLY-SETTLED
Portland, Ore., Sept. 23. In an
opinion given by Attorney Brown, to
M. i.V Biggs, district attorney for
Harney county, the shooting season
for ducks, geese and other migra
tory waterfowl has been definitely
settled. Confusion has existed in
the minds of many shooters on ac
count of a' difference in the federal
and state seasons. The state cannot
legislate within the closed'season of
the federal regulations, liut it can
legislate within the open season. The
federal open season is three and one
half months, but the state, if It cares
to. may close any portion or all of
this federal open season. The shoot
ing season, therefore, which, must be
observed by hunters throughout Ore
gon Is a follows: "
For Multnomah, Clatsop, Colum
bia,' and Tillamook counties, the open
season begins on October 1st and
closes December 31st. In all other
counties of Game District No. 1,
which comprises all that portion of
Oregon lying West of the summit of
the Cascade mountains, the season
opens on October 16th and closes on
January 15th. In all counties of
Game District No. 2. which comprises
all that portion of Oregon ilying east
Islon, the rod and Kun clubs through-
two federal courts have uplleld the!
federal regulations. It mas the clear
intent of the legislature to give equal
hunting seasons. This would have
been accomplished had not the fed
eral law intervened. The state law
is operative and will be enforced in
so far 'as it does not conflict with
the federal Jaw. The dates given

ers may shoot and be within
