IMPORTANT VALLEY RIVERS
ARE TO BE SURVEYED
NEW FEDERAL LAW IS
OPPOSED BY SPORTSMAN
There has been some' misunder
standing among local sportsman as
to the summary of the game laws
printed in yesterday's Democrat. The
laws as printed were state laws and
have no bearing upon the proposed
new federal regulation which would
take out of the hands of the state the
regulation of the open and closed
season for wild game. If the federal
law goes into effect the open season
for ducks and otiicr wild fowl will be
from September 15th to December
15th. This would work a great in
justice upon the people of this section
of the state for there is no duck shoot
ing until after Thanksgiving.

several hundred others of the Rogua
Rivers 40 years ago, and of this large

"strong man" of the reservation and,
while always a peacemaker, was fear

of strength to the Indian police force.

With splendid programs and ideal
weather, the Albany Chautauqua en
joyed a large attendance yesterday.
It appears fitting that this shoud be'
the case with the waning of the Chau
tauqua season here.
Tomorrow with a gigantic union j
Sunday service in the evening, the
Chautauqua will brought to a close1
after a triumphant and most success
ful season.
Today, in honor of the end of the
Chautauqua and in honor of the dear
est friends on earth, was observed
as "Mothers' Day" and everything was
done for the pleasure of mothers, who
were much in evidence on the giounds
throughout the day.
The leading programs of yesterday
and today and pronounced hy the man
agement to he the best attractions of
the Chautauqua with possibly one ex
ception, was the entertainment pre
sented by Miss Maude Willis, dramat
ic reader and the Maude Stevens Con
cert company.
Vesterday the concert company gave
a prelude to Miss Willis dramatic re
cital and last night Miss Willis pre
sented a prelude to the full concert
by Miss Stevens company. An unpre
cedented attendance greeted these rare
artists at all performances.
Each one in their various entertain
ments made a signal hit. Miss Willis
is not affiliated with the concert com
pany hut a separate attraction in her
self. Her press agent, it would seem.
has lauded her as high as the sky
but to hear her it would seem he didn't
do her justice then. Miss Willis is
perhaps one of the most remarkahle
and talented readers ever to appear
here and she deserves all of the credit
given her.
The Maude Stevens Concert com
pany did more to entertain an audience
last night in their hour's program,
than all of Ihe quartets or Alpine sing
ers appearing durinnr the 'two weeks
of the assembly. Miss Stevens is a
whole show herself and is unquestion
ably an artist of impersonations of
rare ability. Miss Edith Welch, is a
brilliant violinist, and the expression
that glows interestingly in her face,
while she playr-, lend undaunted
charm to the music. Miss Charlotte
Chamberlain, as a pianist and whist
ler, attested by the reception accord
ed her last night.
Tonight Miss Willis will make her
last appearance. The concert com
pany will give a prelude to this en
tertainment commencing at 7:30
o'clock.
This evening's program virtually
clones the Chautauqua from a stand
point of enraged attractions and it is
expected that the auditorium will be
I filtod.
Officers of the association to whom
much credit is due for the success of
the assembly are: President, Dr. M,
