this could be overcome.
Start the

fire hasard comes and continue it up
to the present closing date.
That
would adjust things.
As I have said in recent issues, fires
are laid at the door of the poor deer
hunter when they have been aet by
some 'one else. The deer hunter is
the beet protector of our forests on
earth, la usually careful to the ex
treme and it is seldom, if ever, he is
responsible for a fire in the timber.
Just keep your «ye on Coquille’s

It is going to be a tosi »hoot and with
the local bunch rounding into perfect
form they aro sure to give a good ac-
count of themselves.'

Harold Clifford, state game warden.
as well as his chief deputy, Clark,
have been ousted. Three of the five
commissioners voted them out of the
commission. The discharge of Clifford
marks the third exit of a State warden
within the paat five years, all of them
being ousted. Down in this little neck
of the woods the sportsmen do not
have much of a voice in choosing a
game warden, but when the high-
powered politicians and sportsmen's
organizations of Multnomah start af-
ter a warden s scalp they usually hang
it on their belts. They are very effi
cient at that game, but in choosing
the ousted one’s successor, the mem-
bers of the game commission hue
failed to show very good judgment,
in my opnion, with the exception of
Capt. A. E. Burghduff, the best game
warden the state ever had.
Sam Epperson went on a bear hunt
last week, near thia place. While mov
ing about in a dense fem patch, he
heard an old mother bear snort a
warning to her cubs. He caught a
glimpse of black hair and a bear’s
ear sticking out of the fem within five
feet of him. He blew the top off the
animal’s heed, believing it to bo an
enormous animal, as it towered so
high in the fems. Upon examination
he found he had killed a cub. Upon
hearing the shot the mother bear
dashed toward Sam through the fem.

changed her course.
The cub was
