SUNDAY, DEC EM P.HR 7, 10:50 No. 258 NOWDESCHUTES IEN0UT FDR M RULE v Sportsmen to Initiate Bill Before Legislature to Pro hibit Boat Fishing On Eastern 'Oregon Stream. Tim DALLKS, Ore., Dec. G. (&) Local sportsmen, who pay that Rportsmen's organizations of east ern and central Oregon are unani mously behind the move, will ask the coming session of the legisla ture to enact a law that will pro hibit boat fishing on the Deschutes' river. Sportsmen cite that boat fishing has ruined the McKenzie river as a trout fishing stream, and that during the past summer numerous MrKenzie boatmen have invaded the central Oregon cmm- . try. leasing their boats to wealthy' fishermen. Such a practice con tinued over a few years, it is de clared, will ruin bank fishing for Ueschutes famous redsides. I Kastern Oregon sportsmen, too, 1 will seek a legislative bill which ! will provide a simultaneous open ( season for China pheasants both ; east and west of the Cascades. At j present, they say, hunters from ' western Oregon come to eastern I Oregon and secure their limit of f birds. Then, when tho Reason opens ltaer in counties west of the mountains they hunt there and get another limit. Virtually no eastern Oregon hunters seek pheasants west of the mountains, local men say. 01 BILL NEAR PASSAGE, BELIEF PORTLAND, Dec.v"(l Pftss rrge of tho Umatilla Rapids dam hill nt this session of congress is possible, a telegram received to day from Senator Frederick Stetw er said.

Saturday night saw the second death this summer as a result of the rivalry existing in the bootleg industry. That's a fairly good record for a town of t 7500 certainly better proportion- ately than Chicago or New York J can boast of. And we do a good) deal of boasting here about how free the city is trom the influence of booze. Our boasting however is ' usually merely home town boost- lng. Booze flows as freely here as it does anywhere else and the only reason there Isn't more of it is because there is not so great a proportion of our people who want it. But anyone wljio wants it, from high school age up, can always be accommodated umt in very short order. The fact that two of our leading bootleggers have gone to a land where there is no prohibi tion but where the chances are it is hard to get, will not in any way diminish the supply. There will merely be a new dispenser. Just Ibis summt'r a Corvaliis boy was sentenced to six months in jail I and fined Jiouu in another county ' for attempting to deliver some of the stuff for one of these profes sionals. The reason for the heavy fine and sentence was the testi mony of a local officer to the ef fect that the boy was a "pei-sistenl offender.' Vet, there was no court record of conviction to show that he was a frequent offender. The officers of the law and many other citizens can stand on a street cor ner and say as men go by, "There goes a bootlegger. That fellow makes his living selling booze. This fellow is working for So and So, head of a bootleg ring." And so on. Plenty of people know tnnt booze flows in the town as freely1 as it did In the days of saloons, and part of them could be bought off. In reserve. ' and to relieve his suffering.

Foot ball's first week end in November produced a total of 26 tied games. One of every seven college con tests ended w thout decision. Such nn unusual number of ties the records of 151 of the better known schools show hut 17 ties in Ortobcr bring up the fact foot ball has not had a sustained cam paign to find a method of decid ing tie games. There Has been twenty times more agitation to eliminate the point after touchdowns than for a decision in tie games. In fact H seems that Q tie has been considered fairly satisfactory. Agitation for decision of tie games might result If some one could propose nn easy, equitable and fair method consuming little time. Game Shortened Football already has been short ened from 7 0 to G minutes, but even now. the final gun usually sounds in the gloaming. When two teams have fought their hearts out for sixty minutes and failed to reach a deM!!on. any mot bod yet proposed to name one team a winner seems childish. The proposals have been to let the number of first downs decide; to give each side the ball three m 1 n u t ef : to give each t ia m o many downs with total yardage In the overtime deriding; to give each team the twill for a "period for us only In running plays; to have n ma themntieian present to measure g.ifmi and tofe nnd allow the total ynnlasro to decide the winner.

When at last she descended from her bullet torn battlement she made her wuy in the darkness to the bed and found him cold in death; It was her belief that he died during the last hours of day light. With her arm only loosely ban daged, and suffering the most ex cruciating pain, Sofia continued through the day and night to feed the fire and mould bullets. The supply of wood was soon exhuust" eil and then she burned everything and anything she could lay hold of. When at last hostilities slackened she gave way to her suffering and cried aloud in anguish. David had not returned though there was still hope that ho might be safe, but the concern which that mother felt for hri boy under those cir cumstances can never be fully re alized.

It would be inter- estlng to know the result of .Mrs, Harris' rifle practice upon that oc- caston, but beyond the fact that she held the enemy at bay until she was rescued by the troops, the truth will never ho known. j The Indians retired between 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning of the 1 0th and moved down the small creek a short distance where, they started fires probably for ; rooking food.
