WEST CLOSES DEER SEASON
On Account of Fires Will Not Oven
; Until September 1.
By virtue of a proolamatioo issued
by Governor Oswald West, tbs deer
season in Oregon is close! until Sep
tember 1 in order to keep campers out
of the bills and thus lesson tbe danger
of forest fires. Distriot Game Warden
E. F. Averill was notified of tbe pro
clamation and has instructed, all of
bis deputies and tho forest taggers to
notify tbe hunters in the bills of tbe
order. Tbe present summer has been
such an unnsualiy dry one that many
forest Area have started, many from
carelessness of banters in tbe hills.
Governor West, therefore, resolved to
withdraw one danger by dosing the
deer season until September 1.
Tbe proclamation comes as the re
sult ot oarelessness on tbe pait of
hunters in Sontbern Oregon.
Arrests and proeeoutions of men
suspeated of starting Ores in tbe Sois
law Forests west of Eugene, are ex
pealed by the State Deputy Forester,
and an example will be made if possi
tle to warn hunters wbom, tbe forest
ry oBioials say, have teen maliciously
responsible for scores of Area this year.
CarlV. Oglesby, deputy state Hie
warden of Eugene, reoeived notioe
from Frank Fisb, bis deputy at Lor
aine, that one man baa admitted start
ing Ores. Tbe name ia not yet avail
able, tor tba man is not in custody.
No disposition bas been made of the
case of tba 19-year-old boy whose al
leged oonfession implicated other par
ties. Fioaeootions are expected.
- "Hunters are responsible for tba
fires which we have been fighting dur
log the past month," Mr. Oglesby
aaid. "They seek to clear tbe forest
for game. We have just spent 1500
fighting Area on Wolf Greek, wblob
we know were aat by banter. ' Five
fires ware set simultaneously along a
path taken by a party of banters
whose Dames wa know."

SECRET OF THE LOVE BIRD.

Everything else dwindles into insig

Success, achievement, wealth, prom

shared by your friends. No matter

gives you little satisfaction if your ac

the acquisition of a generous disposi

Fortunate are those who feel the
arms of children around their necks,

SURGICAL SHOCK.
In a Vague Way Does 8oienee
Know What Cauaes It.
Shock is still one of tbe great mys-
aHmi nf aiinrerv. Mnnv theories have
been put forward to explain Just 'what
it Is. Each of these nu seeniea at
tractive nntil its Inherent defects were
discovered by experience.
In a lecture before tna uritiso uoyai
College. of Surgery Dr. A. Rendle
Rhnrt mtviewed these successive theo
ries and described the experiments of
himself and outers oy , wmca uiey
an illtinrored. But researches by
Dr. Crile of Cleveland, Professor Sher
rington of England and Dr. F. H.
Pike of Columbia university, New
York, seemed to him to offer at least
a clew to tbe real nature of shock.
Professor Short did rial; formulate a
Aeflnita thenrv. but suscestcd that sur-
gteal shock was due to an Inhibiting
or paralyzing of tbe Important nuclei
in tbe region of the fourth ventricle
of the brain and perbaps in tne cere
bellum. These are "continually send
ing impulses down tbe spinal cord,
maintaining its functional activity and
increasing muscular tone." Tbe effect
of this paralysis Is to cut off these Im
pulses, whereupon tbe functions of
the spinal cord are greatly reduced,
muscular tone Is abolished, and as a
secondary result the blood pressure
may fall. Tbe respiratory center and
perhaps also tbe vasomotor center,
share In this inhibition or paralysis.
. "Death," said Dr. Short, "is due to
tbe accumulation of blood in tbe great
vein. so that the Bow does not pro
