Chinese Pheasants Released On Pro ject ; Migratory Waterfowls Reported Plentiful. A general move of local nimrods for the timber has been seen about Hermiston since the hunting season on deer opened last week. Cars have teen returning from the mountains with buck deer strapped on the run ning board. Thirty-five licenses have been issued to local hunters, alone. Among the first to land their tucks this season were Mr. and Mrs. Merrill Potter of Columbia. The largest kill reported was made by “Shorty" Matott at the head of In dian Creek in Union county, when he bagged a 244 pounder; B. S. Kingsley brought in a 202 pound, 3- point buck Saturday; a hunting par ty in the persons of Jack Smith, Ray Woodward, Art Alderman, Peke Pardee, and Floyd Lynch, brought in three deer the first of the season; and Harvey Payne brought in his buck Tuesday. Open season on buck deer with forked horns is from September 20 to October 25, both dates inclusive, and never more earnestly than this year, are the riflemen seeking the bag limit of two Columbia blacktail deer and one mule deer. Chance of a big bull elk is the record of kill this season for the first time in more than 20 years, is an added incentive to many nimrods and elk tags. Prediction is freely made in the elk country, however, that less than 500 bull elk will be taken this year. The usual influx of outside sports men is expected to mark opening of the Chinese pheasant season in Her miston and Umatilla county Octo ber 15 to October 36, both dates in clusive. Portland and valley sports men, together with local enthusiasts will invade the pheasant country in larger numbers than usual this year, it is predicted. In July Frank Bilderback of Her miston released 300 old Chinese Pheasant hens, and later 272, 8- weeks old birds. Recently he released 28, 4-month old roosters, all of which were sent from the state game farm at Pendleton. Mr. Bilderback believes that the birds will be plen tiful this season. Unless otherwise specifically pro vided for, the bag limit on Chinese pheasant sh 11 be : our f such birds in any one day or eight in any seven consecutive days; provided, that it is unlawful to take more than one female Chinese pheasant in any sev en consecutive days. It is unlawful to hunt, pursue or take any wild an imals or birds after sunset and one- half hour before sunrise. Copies of the Oregon hunting laws may be ob tained at Hale’s confectionery. Open season on Hungarian par- trldges and quail include the same as those dates on pheasants. Migra tory waterfowls, which are reported to be plentiful, may be taken be tween October 16, and December 15, 12:00 o’clock noon, both dates in clusive. The bag limit on Hungarian partridge is four birds in any one day and not to exceed eight in any seven consecutive days. Bag limit for quail is ten birds in any seven consecutive days. H. L. Moreland, chief clerk of the game commission, who was in Her miston Wednesday, says that the de partment has been rushed with li cense applications this season. J. M.

Earl, dean of men. The plan will be based on the “A.C.E.” ests given to all entering students Monday and Tuesday of this week. Students who score in the upper nine quartiles will be eligible to pledge fraternities of their choice, while those In the tenth or lowest quartile cannot pledge until they have earned a grade average of .75 for at least 12 hours during some subsequent term. The system is expected to elimin ate a class of students who many times have been responsible for low grade standings of fraternities, and who most often drop out early in their ciliege careers. A higher grade standing and more satisfactory con ditions in fraternities is expected to result from the plan, w’hich is being watched by fraternities all over the country.
