I was decorated by tho sultan, but
that did nre very little good, as I was
deposed at the snmc time as his maj

fill an engagement in the French op

where I had tho pleasure of appear

Under the now
law It will open August 15. The
closing date will be October 31 as at
present. .
"The legislature also opened the
season on femnlc Chinese pheasants,
but no bag of five Chinese pheasants.
'Brouso or native pheasants can con-
tain more than one female Chinese
pheasant. Xo more than five such
birds can be killed In one day nnd no
more than 10 In any seven conseeu
tho das. Xo bag of 10 birds can
contain more than two fcmoIeChlneso
liheasants."
Mr. Klnlcy also enumerated some
of tho other Important changes In the
gamo code. An open season of 10
days October 1 to October 10 was
declared on Chinese pheasants In
Jackson and Union counties. Xo
other Eastern Oregon county will be
open. Josephine, Coos and Curry
counties, In Western Oregon, also
will remain closed on these birds.
One OiftiiKC Ordcml Ineffcctlio
Although the legislature pretended
to chango the season on ducks,
geese and other migratory birds, Mr.
KInley declares that these supposed
changes cannot be effective. Inasmuch
as they conflict with the federal sta
tutes.
"The season on these migratory
aquatic birds." ho says, "will remain
September 1 to January 15, despite
the legislative enactment. Tho fed
eral law takes precedence. The fed
eral law, however, now Is being tested
in the supreme court, nud unless It
should be declared Invalid It will pre
vail over tho state law."
Under tho now law It will be per
missible to sell geese killed in WaBco,
Sherman, Slorrow, Umatilla, Crook
and Jefferson counties, a privilege
that was not allowed under the old
law.
Quail of all kinds, Including Dob
White. California, mountain, valley
and plumed quail, aro protected un
der the now statute, except In Klam
ath county, where killing will bo per
mitted from October 1 to October 10
and in Jackson and Josephine coun
ties, whero they may be killed from
October 1 to October 31.
Klher (Jrny Squirrel StwMHi Imgcr
Tho season on Bllver gray squirrel
was fixed from September 1 to Octo
ber 31. Tho present season Is Octo
ber 1 to 31.
Prairie chickens may bo killed In
Wasco, Sherman and Union counties
from October 1 to 15.
Sage hens will bo In season from
July 15 to August 31. Tho present
season la August 1 to 31.
The trout-flshlng season remains
the same as at present. Closed until
April 1 on trout under 10 Inches In
length.
Tho law governing bunting with
tlocs Is chanced sltRbtly. It will be
permissible to hunt birds with dogs.
If dogs are caught In pursuit of deer
It must bo proved that tho ownor was
directing them boforo tho owner can
be held guilty. Tho old law made
pursuit of deer by dogs prlma-facle
evidence against the dogownor.
A Xcw Commission
In addition to tho changes In tho
game code, the law governing the
fish and game commission and tho
collection of licences also was
changod.
Xo licenses will bo required by
women, olthor to hunt or to fish. Xo
license will be required to fish in tho
Pacific Ocean or Its salt water tri
butaries for other than gamo fish.
The present fish nnd gamo com
mission Is abolished and tho governor
Is empowered to appoint four new
commissioners. He himself Is to bo
the fifth member. A fish warden, a
game warden and u state biologist
aro to bo appointed by the commls-
slon, each at a salary of $2100. Tho
commission Is not to be under salary.
Two of the governor's appointees
must llvo In eastern Oregon and two
In western Oregon. No restrictions
as to their political affiliations uro
made.
