About a month ago up at Breiten­
bush a doe gave birth to a fawn and
in the pro. ess of reproduction lost her
own life. The doe was found by a
couple of the young Halseth boys who
immediately went home and told cf
finding the dead doe. The Halseth
Brothers went to the spot and found
the doe. They knew what had happen­
ed and after due search found the
little fawn, almost dead and helpless
in the woods without its mother. They
took it home, fed it with an eye drop­
per and nursed it back to health. The
little fellow seemed very much alive,
so they turned it loose to see what
it Would do. It stayed around the
buildings for a few days, always on
hand for the feed it knew its man-
! made friends would furnish. This
went on for some time, and the fawn
I would take off for the woods where
i it was born—then make regular ap­
pearances at the Breitenbush camp,
much to the enjoyment of everyone
i who visited this recreation center in
the Cascades.
Everything went along fine, the
fawn was happy, and everyone who
saw it running loose about the prem­
ises was also happy. Then it happen­
ed. The Game Commission heart! that
a little fawn was being harbored by
the Haiseths. Some place in our man­
made laws, it says that this is in con­
flict with some code or another—so
the commission loaded the little fawn
up and took it to some game farm.
The Commission may or may not
have acted according to the letter of
the law. but I feel they did the fawn
an injusti e. Here at Breitenbush it
was contented with its way of life.
Not only that, it did give children
from the cities of the state an oppor­
tunity to observe a deer at close
quarters. Had the Haiseths kept the
fawn tied or penned up it would have
been a different story, and the Com­
mission would have acted wisely in
removing the animal from captivity.
However, this was not the case, and
I feel that it was a poor move on their
part. Sometimes man-made laws fall
away short of accomplishing their de­
sired purpose and should be tempered
with common sense. Be that as it may,
the deed it now done—the law has
been carried out to the letter—and
in doing so. many people have been de­
prived of seeing one of mother nat­
ure’s wonders—a tiny fawn without
fear of mankind. Most likely some
hunter will get this same fawn in the
sights of his rifle and it will be a lot
worse off than if it had been left
alone up at Breitenbush.

Some of the streets in Mill City
have been given their annual shot of
dust oil. It is a mess while the oil is
soaking in, but in a few days it will
have settled and then everyone will
be happy again. The city has been
exceptionally lucky in having near­
perfect weather for this type of work.
Hot days with no rain will give all the
oil a chance to soak in, whereas if a
hard rain would have hit after the oil
was sprinkled most of its effective­
ness would have been lost.
