Tho watchfulness of Kolth Am

prisoners, confined in the police
station, from breaking Jail again,
after tho bolts on tho door in tho

most In two.
A continued burst of melody,
starting about 6 o'clock and lasting
until nearly 6 o'clock, by the con
fined men nrousod tho suspicions of
tbo acting chief. An inspection was
mado, and the front door bad a
slight sag, which attracted atten

which opena September 16, two
weeks before It opens In other parts

harvest of fattened ducks, according
to Ray C. ,8teele, federal game war
den for Oregon (who, has Jus; re
turned frpm, Southern Oregon.
Limit bag- of ducks, ho said, were
brought down by scores In the first
few dayB of tho open season. Practi
cally all of the ducks, he said, aro
local, but few migrating from the
North to that section of tbo country.
Deer, said Steele, are Just as plen
tiful. "Every Tom, Dick and Harry
in tbo country, Including all the
kids," said Steole, "Is bringing down
his allowance of deer. It la a com
mon sight to see an auto load of
hunters start out In tho morning and
return that evening with a couplo of
bucks for each man."
