STATE GAME FIGHT
CENTER!i IN LANE
David Evant Bacomaa Target
For Clifford Men in Lane
County:
Emmett
Howard
Leads Eugene Delegation to
Salem.
The troubles of the state game rum
mission which have been brewlinc
about the state for several month»
and which lately were centered In
Portland with a series of both open
and closed hearings concerning the
activities of llsrold Clifford, state
game warden and his chief assistant,
Clark, both of whom wore discharged
by the commission following the In­
vestigation, have been suddenly shift
ed to latne county and an avalanche
of criticism la being hurled dally at
David Evans, one of the three com
mlssloners appointed this year by
Governor Norblad for the purpose of
cleaning up the troubles of the com­
mission.
Evans was one of the three mem­
bers of the commission who voted to
oust Mr Clifford, whom It seems does
not wsnt to be ousted. Mr Clifford
has continually hurled charges against
the Eugene member of the commission
nnd yesterday the political tangle took
on what seemed to really be a state
wide Importance when a Eugene dele­
gation headed by Emmett Howard.
Lane county representative, went be­
fore the governor at Salem protesting
the removal of Clifford and purporting
to show that the removal wua a bit of
spite work brought about because the
ousted warden had refused to approve
the exchange of certain federal land»
In Coos county for privately owned
property
noward has announced his Intention
of going before the next legislature
and asking for the abolition of the en­
tire commission. He hopes In this
manner to put an end to the trouble
which has been a source of agitation
In this state for many years.
Hundreds of letters snd telegram»
have been poured In on the governor's
desk at Ssl'tn both protesting the
ouster and approving of the action.
He has announced bis Intention of
studying the matter very carefully and
has already gone over all of the de­
tailed testimony of the hearings held
at Portland. There Is considerable ru­
mor over the state that Norblad Is
about to appoint a new member to
the commission.
Local sportsmen when asked thelt
oplons of the affair declared almost
unanimously that their chief Interest
was In settling the Incident rather
than siding with any faction.
Commissioner Evans spoke before
the Springfield Lions club shortly af­
ter his appointment to the commis­
sion. He said at that time that he
had no political aspirations and went
on the commission with an open mind
expecting to act for what he thought
was the best Interest of hunting and
fishing. In his opposition to Clifford,
developed after a hearing, local sports­
men are Inclined to think that there
has been sufficient evidence to Justify
Evans' contentions thc^t the game war­
den no longer serves the best Interests
of the people.
FALL CREEK RESIDENTS
OPPOSE PROPOSED ROAD
A petition bearing the signatures of
112 signers has been filed with the
county court at Eugene by residents
of the Fall Creek district who have
taken this means of protesting the pro­
posed routing of another road from
Pengra and Lowell to Springfield.
The signers of the petition declare
that It will cost $60,000 to develop the
road and that the residents of the vi­
cinity would actually derive very little
benefit from such a road. They also
contend that many of the signers o.
the petition asking for the new road
are not residents of the district af
fected, and that others are high
school students.
Those who are taking the lead It.
opposing the new route are J. H. Kls
singer, Oscar Drury, W. H. Iuirlmer,
A. B. Downs, and Bud Kintzley.
