THURSDAY, AUGUST 8, 1963 Ngssa's Changing Street Scene 10 Cents Per Copy NUMBER 32 Two Million Acres of Sagebrush Land In Malheur County Infested by Larva; Good and Harm Both Seen as Result Most Deer Areas Opened From Sept. 28 To Oct. 28; Elk Hunt From Oct. 26 to Nov. 24 BLM Sees Need for Grass Seeding to Prevent Noxious Weeds From Replacing Sagebrush The Oregon game department has set opening and closing dates, with bag limits established, for most upland birds, deer and elk. Scattergun nimrods can legally take to the field for doves and pigeons on Sept. 1 but have to wait until the following Saturday (Sept. 7) to go for chukars, grouse, sage hens and ♦ ♦ ^Hungarian partridge. The deer and elk seasons have been set and a synopsis of the rules and regulations can now be picked up at any dealer selling licenses. The caterpillar infestation of sage in eastern Oregon has brought different reactions from the livestock industry, the State Game department and the Bureau of Land Management. The livestock industry sees it as a blessing and believes if all the sage were killed it would be a boon for them. The game department sees it from the viewpoint of de stroying food and cover for*-----------—------------------------- deer, antelope and sage grouse. They also feel with the removal of the sage that the land would rapidly erode Youihs Reminded Of Safety Course In Gun Handling Young hunters, 17 years of age or under, are reminded by the game commission that if they in tend to hunt this fall they must have in their possession a cerifí cate of competency in the safe handling of firearms. This is a provision of the law passed by the Oregon legislature which be- came effective Jan. 1, 1962. The law further states that any youngster 17 or under who de- sires to obtain a certificate of competency shall first satisfac torily complete a course in the safe handling of firearms. The commission urges all youngsters who intend to hunt this fall and who do not have a certificate of competency to en roll in a hunter safety class im mediately. Instructors are avail able in cities, towns and rural areas and many will be holding classes to qualify youngsters for the certificate. If youngsters are in doubt about location of classes in their local area, they are requested to con tact the nearest game license agent. He has been provided with a list of qualified instructors. The statutes also provide that no youngster under the age of 12 shall be issued a big game tag, and no person under the age of 14 shall be permitted to hunt on lands other than his own or legal guardian, unless accompanied by an adult.

To Set Date on Others Aug. 20 Regulations will be established Aug. 20 for pheasants, quail, fur bearers and waterfowl. Closing date will be set for chukars when more information on this year’s production will be available. Buck Deer and Elk Seasons The general buck deer season will be from Sept. 28 through Oct. 20. As in the past, hunters will be restricted to bucks with fork ed horns west of the Cascades and east of the Cascades to those with visible antlers. The unit permit season for tak ing antlerless deer will be Oct. 12 through Oct. 20, or one week shorter than last year. The num ber of unit permits to be issued will be lower than last year due to poor fawn production. The general elk season will be Oct. 26 through Nov. 11 in the coast range but will extend through Nov. 24 in the rest of the state. Antlerless elk hunts in northeastern Oregon units will be almost the same as last year with 3200 permits to be issued. THIS CORNER at First and Main streets in Nyssa has been and is still undergoing drastic changes. There are actually three projects which have caused a great difference in appearance. First of all, what used to be a large patch of weeds is now a blacktopped parking lot, created by the city for public use. Another recent improvement, which cannot be appreciated in the photo but to Nyssans and travelers is a pleasing sight, is a new coat of paint recently applied to the railings and walls of the underpass on U. S. highway 20 - 23. Under Amalgamated Sugar company's silos and to the left of Swager Ford's big sign can be seen light- colored walls. These are inside partitions of the old Tensen-Van Gilse building which was pictured intact in the June 27 issue of the Journal. The structure is being razed by Bud Sappe and his crew of workmen. A check Wednesday revealed that about all that remains of the old landmark are the few second-story walls and the first floor. This location will eventually become a small city park. —Staff Photo.

The Bureau of Land Manage ment thinks it might be a prob lem or a blessing, depending upon how rapidly it spreads, how po tent a killer it is and how much time they would be allowed to get grass into the cleared areas. Noxious Weeds May Take Over Max Lieurance, head of the BLM office in Vale, told a Jour nal reporter Wednesday that about 2,000,000 acres in Malheur county were infested but that they did not yet know how effec tive the kill would be. He said that he could see where it might be a bad thing for the county if the sage were totally killed and a noxious weed took over the bar ren land before it could be seed ed to grass. The BLM has carried on a spraying program to kill the sage in the county but only as they could seed it to crested wheat grass. Lieurance said that last year 56,000 acres were sprayed in the county and 35,000 acres had already been reseeded. His fig ures were for the fiscal year end ing June 30, 1963.
