Without gamu laws any country must soon cease to have .game, and tho adequacy of tiiosn Jaws is clearly reflected In the con sus of game Itself.

By vlrtuo of this act tho Bocrotary appoints an ndvlsory board and tho members of this board will conveno at Washington December 13. W. L. Flnloy, naturalist nnd lecturer of tho national association of Audubon societies, Is tho representative of tho board on tho Pacific coast. Ho will leavo for tho east either to morrow night or Wednesday and be fore ho departs would like to hear front any Oregon sportamnu who la iutoroatod In possible changes In tho rulcm that limit tho hunting of mi grants. Mr. Klnley's nddross is Jeuulnga Lodge, Ore. Among tho ruuommeudatlous that are likely to bo mndo at tho coming session of the ndvlsory board Is ono that will, If adopted cut thu ling limit on ducks to 1G. Hunters In Orogou aro allowed under tho stnto law to shoot 25 ducksNu ono day or not more than 30 In any seven con aocutlve days. Tho Orogou law and the government regulation are Iden tical at prosent. Not only la the advisory board al moat certain to aak that the big limit be reduced, but It will, if pro rt let tons do not nils oarry. demand tho prohibition or the use or auto matic and pump aliot guns. Shooting duuks is an expensive luxury for the most part. Portland hunters who maintain preserves on the Islands down tho Columbia river nnd olsowhoro in tho vicinity of tho city spend thousands of dol lars annually for grain with which tho birds nro fed, tor watchmen, ammunition and transportation to and from tho preserves. It is ofttl mated that It costs from 1.75 to $2. GO for every duck killed on hulf a dozen of the Inrgrr feeding Uke of'Sauvles Islands. Of course, tliero nro ohor lakes whero tho cost is much lose, but the average is IiIrIi enough to make duck hunting al most prohlbltlvo to tho groat rank .md fllo of persons who buy hunting licensoe from tho state.
