STILL If! SESSION
i
Hundreds of Warrants Have
Been Audited and Road
Matters Acted Upon.
COURT WILL ADJOURN
TOMORROW AFTERNOON
Over 940 Road Warrants Are
to Be Issued by County
Clerk Marks.
Continued from Friday, August 8.
Reconvening again this morning,
the county court, which convened in
regular session Wednesday morning,
will remain in session today and all of
tomorrow.
Auditing of numerous bills has oc
cupied much time of the court. Sev
eral road matters have been discussed
and acted upon and aside from this,
nothing of unusual importance has
come up before the term of court.
However, it is conceded that the
present term is the largest of the
year, judging from the unprecedent
ed amount of bills audited. This is
contrary to usual cases in several
years previous for the month of Au-
Sust , .
Over 945 warrants are to be issued
by County Clerk Marks and deputies,
who are exceedingly busy today
drawing up the papers for the var
ious amounts from the road fund, to
the number of 690. Exactly 255 have
been drawn on the general fund and
several more are to be drawn.
Road matters acted on thus far by
the county court are as follows: Ap
plication of J. B. Savage for a road
of public easement in township 12,
south of ran ere 1 west of the W. M..
expenses and damages ordered paid;

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.

WHAT TO 00 WHEN LOST IN
WOOOS AFTER NIGHTFALL
Game Warden Finlcy Has a
Scheme to Help Hunters in
This Predicament.
Lost in the woods. 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.

Each barrel contained ten dozen.
bottles of beer and was shipped from
Salem to Wm. Brown, agent of the
Oklahoma show company. Sheriff
Bodine this morning examined the
records at the freight depot and af
ter a thorough investigation found
that there was no statute under which
the authorities could proceed against
the consignee.

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

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".
