STATE SEALER CONFERS WITH BENTON COUNTY COURT County Sealer of Weights and Measureslsto Be Appointed Soon. Fred G. Buchtel, of Salem, deputy state sealer, was yesterday conferring with the county court relative to the appointment of a county scaler of weights and measures, an office cre :itrd bv the new law tjiat went into effect May 3 of this year. A law regulating the use of weights and measures in the state and prohib iting inaccurate machines for weigh ing and measuring, has been existent for many years but effective means for enforcing the law have been lack ing. The last legislature passed a measure designed to make the en forcement of the law possible. The state treasurer, as formerly, is the sealer of weights and measures but the active work is done by the dep uty sealer and the county sealers whose appointment is authorized by the new act.

Xight is mail ing; your compass was smashed the last time you fell over a trailing vine. You see around you only the hulks of trees and hear nothing but the twitter of the birds and occasionally the "whoo" of an awakening owl. Your game bag hangs on your shoul der and you wonder where you are and how you will get to a habitation. Game Warden William C. Finley has a scheme to help hunters who find themselves in this sort of a pre dicament. He believes not only in protecting the birds and beasts of the wild, but the men who pursue them. So he has devised a code which he wants used by every man who in vades the woods, When you find you are lost, fire two shots ten seconds apart, then wait 60 seconds and fire another. That is to to be the official signal of distress. If some hunter who is not lost hears the shots, he is to fire one shot in answer. The lost hunter will then fire one shot in recognition.

GUI COVER COUNTY Equipped WiLh Motorcycles Armed With Orders From Finley. is RESULT OF WANTON DESTRUCTION OF BIRDS Albany Gun Club Will Cooperate With Deputies in Work Here. That there are two deputy game wardens covering this section of the county on motorcycles, armed with orders direct from State Game War den Finley, to arrest anyone shooting or caught with game birds on their person, in violation of the closed sea son, was learned this morning. That the state game protection de partment is determined to stamp out the wanton destruction of birds, ami especially the China pheasants, before the open season conies on, is evident from the tact that a corps oi iicpiuy game wardens supplied with motor cycles are being dispatched to differ ent sections of the valley by the state game warden. The two deputies, it is uniierstoou, nrrlved vesterdav. and have made tem porary headquarters here. It will be their dutv to cover this section of Linn county daily and arrest any vio lation of the closed season law. It is understood that offenses will be dealt with exclusively by jail sentences in stead of the fines. The law states that r. jail sentence from 10 to 20 days can be imposed upon a person guilty of such an offence or a fine of fro,m $25 to $100. According to a statement made by a leading member of the Albany Gun Club this morning, that institution is co-operating with the deputy game wardens in their work of running down hunters shooting game birds out of season. It is only a short while before the season is open on China pheasants, opening October 15 and lasting until November 15, when hunt ers will be allowed all of the free dom in shooting these game birds as has been the case heretofore, hut in the meantime it has been cited that the shooting of the birds out of sea son will be vigorously watched and prosecuted. The dispatch of the two game war dens into this section, it is understood is the result of numerous reports that China Pheasants are being wantonly shot, by hunters throughout the coun ty.

RA!SEDTH!S SEASON ,ve ' T.CCC rieasa;;'s Were Hatched on Oregon Bird Farm. WILL BE SHIPPED TO VARIOUS LOCALITIES Over 800 Pheasant Hens Have Been Laying Eggs Al i Season. Five thousand pheasants have been raised this season on the Oregon pheasant farm, which is located a few miles north of Corvallis, ill Benton county. Manager Gene Simpson, of the farm, states that a great number of these will soon be distributed over the state. Large numbers were ready for sending out some time ago, but have been awaiting orders of the state game warden. The birds will go to all sections of the state, hut the great er number to those parts where the pheasant is little known. None will be given their liberty except on des ignated preserves, so their protection will he guaranteed. In addition to the Chinese nheasants. a number of I rarer birds .such as the Reeves and silver pheasants and hob-white quail, have been raised this year on the farm. Most of these will be kept for purposes of propogation. About 800 pheasant hens have been l.-ivinir on the farm all this spring and summer. One hen lays from 60 to SO puis in a simile season when con fined in a pen. But in captivity the liens will not nest, and they will not li:it(1i. sn Hie eirtrs are cathered and hatched under common hens. The birds are also raised with the hens, in ordinary coops, just as chickens are raised, with the exception of feed ing, for a little pheasant must have "live food" bugs, worms and insects. This is only for the first few weeks. After that the young pheasants can eat grain cracked corn, wheat and ground oats. Houses are not needed for the birds, old or young. They arc given just as much liberty as the spa cious enclosures will allow: in truth the old birds, those used for laying purposes, are turned out into the open fields after the laying season is over, being pinioned to keep them from straying from the farm. When night comes, the birds in the pens, and those in the open, seek shelter under weeds and bushes, just as thev would in the wild. This thev do in winter and jummer. Corvallis Time".
