“Dodged” In From Portland
Bert Smith, who had been away
on a visit to Portland for some days,
hove into town Tuesday driving a
Dodge touring car that he purchas­
ed while in the Rose City. He said
the roads were fairly good all the
way and that he made the trip with
only one accident—that being when
he absentmindedly let the auto take
a header with him off a steep grade
in the Cascades,
This little side
trip seemingly did not hurt him nor
the car to any great extent, but, ac-
cording to Mr. Smith, it was sure
exciting while it lasted.

IN MANY NEW PEOPLE
New Garage in Full Swing
With A. M. Tewell, a first class
auto mechanic from Seattle, at the
helm, the Hermiston Auto Co. has
begun operations in earnest In its
new magnificent home In this city.
Each day new supplies for all parts
of cars that may come there for ad­
justment is being received, and it
keeps Mr. Schimke, part owner and
manager, busy placing them In the
stock room. It is said the mechani­
cal part of the garage will be one of
the finest equipped with modern ma­
chinery of any in the northwest
when all the machinery ordered has
been put in place.
Already Mr.
Schimke reports business as being
exceedingly brisk at the garage.
Old Resident Visiting Here
N. A. Carnell, who Is in the ell-
ploy of the Puget Mill Co. at Pouls-
bo. Wash., where he has been for a
number of years, is here this week
renewing old friendships
while
looking after his ranch a mile west
of town that A. W. Agnew is oper­
ating for him under lease.
Twelve years ago Mr. . Carnell
came here and bought land, which
he put in a high stale of cultivation.
Later he went to the coast and en­
tered the employ of the above lum­
ber company. He manages, how­
ever, to pay Hermiston a visit every
so often to see how things are going.
So well pleased is he with condi­
tions here now that on his return
to Poulsbo he will begin making ar-
rangements to return here early In
the coming spring and again take
up his abode on his ranch for the
purpose of operating it.
In a circular letter from the State
Fish and Game Commission to The
Herald announcement Is made that
the hunting season on migratory
birds has been changed from the
I 6th of this monili lo October 1st.
While this dale Is only three days
distant, it is evidently going to spoil
the sport of many hunters who are
row making preparations for a
hunting holiday tomorrow. Every-
who procur'd a license should
feel pleased, however, that the state
did not jump In and close the Fed-
< ral season right after it opened on
I he 16th.
The letter stales that In an opin­
ion given by Attorney General Geo.
M. Brown to M. A. Biggs, district
attorney for Harney county, the
shooting season for ducks, geese and
other water fowl has been defini-
tely settled. Confusion has existed
in the minds of many shooters on
account of a difference in the Fed-
eral and State seasons, The state
cannot legislate within the closed
season of the Cederai regulations.
but it can regulate within the open
season. The Federal open season Is
three and one-half months, but the
Stale, if it cares to. may close any
portion or all of this Federal sea-
son. The shooting season. there­
fore, which must be observed by
hunters throughout Eastern Oregon
is as follows: In all count les of
Game District No. 2. which compri-
ses all that portion of Oregon lying
east of the summit of the range of
the Cascade mountains, the open
season begins on October 1st and
ends on December 31st.
It had been hoped that
■ ral and State laws would conform.
The original draft of the gante code
included a uniformity of seasons,
hut the position was taken by the
game committee of the legislature
that’th*' Federal regulations were
unconstitutional and therefore in­
operative. Since the legislature ad­
journed Iwo Federal courts have
upheld the Federal regulations. It
was the clear intent of the legisla-
lure to give equal hunting seasons.
This would have been accomplished
bad not the Federal law Intervened.
The State law is operative and will
be enforced in so far as it doos not
conflict with the Federal law. The
dates given above are those within
which hunters may shoot and be
within bolli the Federal and State
law.
During the past ten days a num-
ber of land sals have been closed
and a number of new people will
become residents of the project.
