Being tho Game Warden of tho county, I have probably been giv ing moro thot looking toward tho protection and preservation of our game and fish than has tho average man. In view of the fact that much of our native game is fast be coming extinct, it is .time that all true citizens nil wcll na tho sportsman, lend their nid in as sisting me to enforco tho law which is aimed to preserve tho yarious species, thereby contin uingoneof our great natural re sources to be enjoyed by man kind for generations to come. That beautiful animal, the deer, which is probably tho mo3t vnluablo of all our game, pnrti- cularily needs our protection throughout this section, owing to certain natural conditions, and if we neglect our duty, the deer will soon pass. As civilization goes out and crowds around the haunts of this game it is compelled to move bndk, until finally, it has only a small area under which to oxisL In this climate the deer cannot exist in the terri ory where they most generally summer. The deep snows drive them to lower elevations and by absolute ne cessity they must come in close contnet with .settlement, and un less they have our protection they are bound to be driven back into the mountains to perish or to become the prey of tho pre datory animals. Any true citizen, whether a sportsman or otherwise, should be deeply intercsoed in doing all ho can to preserve this grand and sratelv deer, which bv law of nature is combntting against terrible odds, and has but little chance to exist and that only by nnd through us In Harney county there is an open season at which time the law permits the killing of a lim ited number of male deer. This season closes at or near the approach of winter. It is the nature of tho deer at this time of the year to gather in droves nnd retreat to certain localities where it will be possible for them to winter. There is only a limited territory in this portion of the country where it is possible for the deer to pull through the winter, and surely no good man could, after any thought on the subject, be so cruel at .heart as to go upon the deer and kill them when and where they are hemmed in by civilization on one side and deep snpws and impossible existence on the pther, He would surely FOOD FOR THE MIND NEEDED ON THE FARM Say Agricultural College Librarian in Lecture to Visiting Farmers and Wives Suggests Each Community Apply to the Oregon Library Com mission for Traveling Library predicts railroad MEN RESCUED AFTER operations SOON SIX DAYS IN A WELL, Onlano Paper Says Indications are Thai .

In some portions of the United States the people have como to understand and appreciate these things, and ar tolking part, co operating with tho State and government, by providing feed, at no small expense, in order to save the lives of the deer and elk during the winter season. The main object of this letter js in the hopo that every reader will bo inspired by tho thought and will awaken to a high stand ard of citizenship, and will do his part in caring for tho game which is indeed a heritage for which we should bo grateful. It is my sworn duty to enforce tho law and I hopo to enlist you all in tho cause and by co-operating, oik! with the other and all with me, wo will save tho deer. II. I J.
