Tho probability of changing the
opening season on waterfowl In Klam-
nth County was Indicated at a meet'
log of the Klamath Sportsmen's Asso
ciation Inst night In addresses made to
tho Club by State Biologist W. L. Fin
ley and E. S. Cattron, federal inspector
of tho Migratory Bird Law. Mr. Cat
tron explained that open season from
Beptember 16 to December 31 instead
of from October 1st to January 16th
would now be in effect in several
states and four counties in eastern
Oregon, but .for a rhetorical error In
the law, which matter la to be rem
odlod this year.
He suggested that by a resolution
from tho association herend a recom
mendation from Mr. Flnloy.'lhe Klam
ath district could be Included In this
change. Action endorsing tbe matter
was immediately taken as the two
weeks shooting In September la very
desirable here.
In ordor to bold the band of elk
recently shipped is to the Wood River
Valloy, it was decided to raise two
hundred dollars to match a llko
amount from State funds and fence
In forty acres near Seven Mile Creek,
wbero the elk could ho pastured and
gradually let out on tho range.
The need of more fish eggs and
young fish for the State was brought
out in remarks by W. L. Finley who
I declared that Oregon had been ship
ping these from Wisconsin and Rhode
Island which should not be necessary,
Thoro will be between flvo and six
million eggs available this year while
there Is a demand for twenty million.
The Spencer Creek Hatchery has fur
nlshed more fish during the paist four
years .than any other part of the Slate
and it la probable that thlH year they
will bo transported to other sections
Ip trucks,
Between 180,000 and 190,000 were
received last year from State game
license which, Finley estimates was
divided about as follews: 135,000 to
140,000 for warden service and the
name amount for fish and tame work
and 4,O0Q for educational work,

Ihe questions most freqaeatly aalied
relative to the procedure 'of "JaJdaujc
the- War Census is how persona who
are absent from their hoaae preetaata
on the day of the census may regtatarr
For their convenience, the War De
partment haa provided a at acta!
method whereby they may register by
mail.
Five days after publication of the
President's proclamation naming a
War Census day, there will be a, sap
ply of registration blanks at the ef
flee of the county 'clerk.
Tbe County Clerk Is authorised to
record the answers of men aasent froen
their home precincts who ,t apply to
him, and to certify to their registrar
tlon cards.
But after the. clerk haa made out the
registration card, it is still vp to the
man for whom it is made oat to, see
that the card reaches the registrar ef
bis home precince by War Ceaaaa day.
He will be given the card, wkieh ha
must mall to the registrar of hla noame
precinct, care of the Sheriff of hla
home county.
To make the procedure clear, the
following imaginary case Is cited far
illustrlatien:
Suppose that John Brown, resideat
of Pendleton and of military age
from 21 to 30 years, inclusive is
traveling on the road and will ha ab
sent from bis home towa the day at
the War Census.
About tbe fifty or sixth day after
the President's proclamation, ha
himself, say, in the towa of
Hla procedure should then ha aa
follews: He should go at once to the
office of the Sheriff of Lane, Coaaty, ,
which Is in Eugene, and have his regie
tration card filled and certlted. The
card will be given to him and he mast
then mall it to the Registrar, S.
Precinct, care" of Sheriff. OmatlUa
