NEW
Resolutions favoring a change In
the law governing the hunting of
Chinese pheasants whereby shooting
could be done on Sunday and Wed­
nesday during four weeks, thus In­
suring enght hunting days, were
passed by a big body of sportsmen
who were guests Sunday evening at
a dinner given by the Echo Rod &
bUn club in their new club house.
The body also went on record
unanimously as being opposed to the
measure which would require 10 per
cent of the receipts of all state self
sustaining boards be returned to the
state's general fund. The recom­
mendation of the body was that vot­
ers cast their ballot as 327 no.
Seven Hermiston men attended the
dinner, and sportnien were present
from Pendleton, La Grande, Arling­
ton, Portland and Hillsboro. E. F.
Averill, formerly of Pendleton, state
game warden, was the chief speak­
er. He dwelt largely on propagation
and conservation work being carried
out by the state game commission.
The local men present Included A.
II. Norton. Dr. F. V. Prime, Dr. J.
L. Sears, William Roberts, Harry
Straw, H. E. Hitt and Carl Mc-

praise of the Echo organization and

Of Season.
.............
The hunting season on Chinese
pheasant and Hungaiian parti ldges
which closed Sunday was fairly suc­
cessful from th© point of view of
hunters, according to statements
made by local men. Birds in this
district were plentiful when th®
son started a week ago, but they
quickly took to cover when the bom­
bardment started, and many hunt­
ers worked as hard as he knew how
without getting the limit of birds.
A b I s usual, hunters from far and
wide Were here to enjoy the sport.
Portland and other Willamette val­
ley points were liberally represent­
ed. Hotels were full to their capac­
ity most of th« time, and many local
people entertained friends in their
homes during the season.
No major caeuultles were report­
ed as a result of the largo number
of men in the fkild with guns. Re­
ports are current that tame geeac
and turkeys were shot In some places.
L. H. Pearson who lives on the ex­
treme east end of the project re­
ported that he lost a ewe valued at
>20. J. H. Reid, prominent east
side farmer, was struck by a hunter
in a discussion.
“I lbst a stack of hay two years
ago during the hunting season.” Mr.
Pearson said, "and then I had the
loss oi a ewe this year. It seems to
me that It would be wise for a num­
ber of farn^ers to be deputized to
serve during the hunting season,
either as deputy game wardens, or
as deputy sheriffs, so that depreda­
tions could be prevented, or at least
the men who commit thlfin could be
handled If discovery is made quick­
ly enough."
“I always have a number of friends
who shoot on my land, and I don’t
care If they see me first and get per­
mission. That gives the land own­
er a chance to size up the men that
ire shooting. I think It would be a
mod thing for the stat'e as well as
for the land owners, it there could
qe more deputies, though, so reck,
less hunters could be handled. I

CITIZENS URGED TO VOTE
'
FOR TUBERCULAR HOSPITAL
"Not only humane but economic
reasons should influence the people
of Oregon to votje for the erection of
a state tubercular hospital in eastern
Oregon," declared Dr. W. T. Phy, of
Hot Lake, president of the state
board of health when he addressed
Pendleton Klwanlans at their Tues­
day luncheon. “It la Inefficient fi­
nancially to invest great Bums In
health work and then allow tuber­
culosis, correctly called the great
white plague to tncreaee In Oregon.”
Dr. Phy emphasised the fact that
the appropriation has alroady been
made for the tuberculosis hospital
and that the question before vwtarB
Is simply one of authorizing the erec­
tion outside of Marion county. He
showed where the present hospital at
Salem was inadequate to care for the
tubercular of the state and where
fewer apply for admission there from
Eastern Oregon every year although
thie tubercular death rat© in this dis­
trict indicates no decrease in num­
ber of cases.

A decision to continue with the
program of advertising the Umatilla
project to the outside world as a
place where land seekers may find
desirable location wag made at a
meeting of the organization of all
business men which was held at the
library last Thursday Inght.
The campaign of advertising was
launched last August when the
body authorized the raising of >260
from local concerns to be expended
in newspaper and magazine advertis­
ing. Reports made by A. H. Norton
showed that about >60 of the money
has been expended and has resulted
in n number of people replying and
asking for more detailed informa­
tion.
The committee In charge of adver­
tising was Instructed to prepare more
copy which is expected to be placed
with the primary object of attract­
ing more poultry growers to this dis­
trict. The rapid development of the
industry here, and the adaptability
of the soil and climate for egg pro­
duction, ae proven by growers dur­
ing the past few years the business
has been established on the project,
caused a number of men to speak en­
thusiastically about the chances of a
really big expansion.
Chairman Dodd suggested that
big land companies and other Insti­
tutions ar© vitally interested in hav­
ing raw land that now has a water
supply settled and that their support
should be enlisted In raising a fund
10 times as large as the one already
authorized by local business men.
Reports were made showing that
several commercial poultry men in
other districts are contemplating
moving here when they can dispose
of their present holdings.

has been reached by a committee ot
dairy men and A. N. Sunstrup, pro­
prietor of the creamery, it was an­
nounced thijs week by R. F. Wilbur,
assistant county agent.
The agreement Is the result of
work done by a special committee of
dairy farmer« during the past few
weeks. One of the conditions la that
delivery of sweet cream must be
made on Tuesday and Friday of each
week before noon so that the cream
can be churned without delay.
It is expected that as the market
for the sweet cream butter Is devel­
oped the premium for sweet cream
will be increased, Mr. Wilbur stat­
ed.
■ "One of the chief problems to be
tolved next by dairy farmed© is to
make It possible for a co-operative
lei 1 very system to be established,”
Mr. Wilbur stated. “The routes
ihould be reasonably short and In­
clude neighbors so deliveries can lie
rotated without taking too much
time. This plan has been worked
out very satisfactorily In other sec­
tions of the state."
The special committee of dairy
farmer« Included Pat Sullivan, Cur­
