Scarcity of Pheasants Due to Sleet and Snow It is the opinion of sportsmen in gen eral, in placing the cause of the scarcity of gamu birds during the past season, that snows of lust winter und tho wet spring following were tho causes that made the game scarce. Sportsmen while looking for birds interviewed farmers in the country around about Salem and in the districts south ami nest, and the re port is that last winter the sleet nnd snow got on tho feathers of the pheas ants until their wings dragged the ground. In this condition they could secure no food and dropped on the snow from exhaustion. In the spring the rain was tho cause of the death of the young broods. All theso things-taken together caused the flocks to bo greatly reduced and left much to be desired in tho past season's shooting. make. Men's Shoes Eugene Women Decline to Join Women's' Party" Activities on Suffrage (Eugene Daily Guard) A second attempt to organize a branch of the women's pnrty in KugencJ failed when lira, William Kent met with a party of women in the tea room of the Osborn hotel yesterday evening Mrs. Kent outlined the position, stat ing that she is certain that Mr. Hughes will support the Susan B. Anthony a mendment if he is elected to the presi dency of tho United Htates. She also asserted that the democratic candidate hns merely endorsed the adoption of suffrage hy states, which, she claims, will withhold the ballot from the ma jority of women indefinitely. "We are asking you women who al ready have the right to vote to help us in the non-suffrage states who have no other hope than a constitutional a mendment," said Mrs. Kent. "There are ironclad constitutions in the east ern and middle western states that can never be cvhanged, and so it is only through congress and the president that wo can hope to realize our rights. By defeating the democratic administra tion we will surely attain our end." During the discussion that followed, Mrs. Kent was confronted by the fnct that Mr. Hughes has never in a public speech declared himself in favor of na tional suffrage, but that the only evi dence of his Ht ami on the question is a telegram whien he sen: to a senator rrom utan, a suriruge state, immediate-, ly after his nomination, stating that he was in favor of the amendment. Believes In Hughes Mrs. Kent replied that although Mr. Hughes has not declared himself, and even though Mr. Wilson has said in speeches that he is in favor of suffrage she and the members of her party nre of the belief that Mr. Hughes will reul- ly do more than President Wilson. Mrs. Kent was asKea wny mt. Hughes has never -voted for miff rags. She replied that Mr. Hughes has been n Wnshiimton since 'linn, and comu not vote while in the District of Co lumbia. This statement hrought out the information from one of those present that Mr. Hughes was at all times a voter in New York, und could have cast his ballot if he had so wished. President Wilson, it was stated, went to New Jcr- sy to vote for suffrage, and there was nothing to prevent Mr. Hughes from doing the same. Ho has nut changed his place of residence, it was pointed out, for he is running for the office of president n being from Jew lork, und not from Washington. In conclusion, the women present said thnt they believed the single tele gram sent by Mr. Hughes to the L tali senator upon request is not enough evi dence of Mr. Hughes' intention to war rant the formation of a party in his support, and that the movement for the suffrage amendment to the constitution will only be harmed by the policies of the women's party. Miss Margaret Whittemore spoke for tho women's pnrty at a meeting of the Neighborhood club yesterday. Her talk was the same as was that of Mrs. Kent, according to those present. Party Is Fallacy "These women sound plausible enough and I fear that they are being taken too seriously by a number of thoso who hear them," said one of the women present at tho Osborn hotel yes terday. "However 1 hope that the wom en of Kugeno will not prove themselves so gullible as to jeopardize the cause of suffrage by believing the women 's party to be what it seems. We have Mr. Wilson's word made publicly that lie will do all in his power for tho ad vancement of suffrage. Mr. Hughes has never said in public that he would do so. Tho cause, nlso, has made just as much progress .during the present ad ministration ns it has done in tho pnst, I have no doubt that the republican candidate will do nil ho can for us, too, but he cannot do more thnn has Presi dent Wilson. Therefore, why should we women be led bv a fnllncial hope that we are uoinit to help rather thnn hinder lour cause by taking sides in the poHt I icnl campaign t" "Dear Aunt Cora" Is Salem Businessman There tuny be nothing new under the sun, but a prominent business man of Sulem says he has something new snrniiL on him about every so otten and tho latest was a letter he received in the mail this morning, addressed 111 a school girl's dainty hand. Of course he lost no tune in opening the letter It was written from Pendleton under date of October Hi and addressed to "Dear Aunt Cora." Did the business man rend itt He did, and it was us follows: "Please vote yes for tho Eastern Oregon Normal school because Pendle ton is well located. It has many pas stumer traius. schools, over 1U00 pupils. lame stores, a beautiful new library and many things to pass the timo and several churches. There aro nice places to eat and board. Pendleton is a beau tiful city. Your niece, Lucile Saling. " Now the business man is just pond ering over that letter and wondering whether Lucile is trying to put one over him, as pinned nicely to the letter was a pamphlet on why Oregon uee.ls another normal school. And he is also wondering whether those Pendleton follows are not pretty smooth advertis er and whether the 1000 pupils in the schools are writing their aunt Coras and uncle Johns and saying nice things about Pendleton, and all written in that childish handwriting.

I work nearly all the time, as we live on a farm and I have four girls. I do all my sewing and other work with their help, so it shows that I stand it real well. I took the Compound when my ten year old daughter came and it helped me a lot. I have also had my oldest girl take it and it did her lots of good. I keep it in the house all the time and recommend it" Mrs. Dewitt Sincebauch, West Danby, N. Y.

The proposed amendment provides that the council shall have power to pro hibit, regulate and control the planting, trimming and preservation as well as maintenance of all shade trees, plants nnd flowers in the streets and public ways. It nlso gives the council author ity to order the removal of weeds, anil rank vegetation from vacant lots and the streets. , Another proposed amendment to be voted on December 4 provides thnt any contract entered into by the city for a greater period than five years shall be null and void from drtte of contract. Also that in the employment of labor by the city preference shall be given to citizens of the United States, residents of the city. Just at present the city seems to have no legal procedure for the enforcement of the collection of assessments against real estate. To remedy this a bill for the amendment of the city charter will be submitted to the voters December 4, which provides that the recorder, up on order of the city council must give 10 days notice by persounl service on the property; or if a non-resident, by advertisement 10 days in a daily news paper, before any money assessed upon property under. the authority of the charter and ordinances of the city con be collected. It further provides that the city council shall have power to pro vide by ordinance for the collection of all liens authorized by the charter which are on may herea'fter become delinquent and that this may be done by sale of property or issuance of delinquency cer tificates which may be foreclosed in three years in the same manner that de linquent state and taxes are foreclosed. In other words, the bill gives the city authority to collect assessments against real estate in the citv. University Notes Frof. James T.

The professor was scheduled to address several sessions of the conven tion when he left Salem. He exacts to return in time for his Monday recita tions. Members of the Websterian Literary society were delightfully surprised by a visit from their sister organization, the Adelnntes, Wednesday evening. Ow ing to the repairs to the society halls, the Websteriuns held their meeting in the Y. W. C. A. rest room in Enton hnll. The impromptu quarters did not mar the spirit of the company in the least, for a strenuous round of "Tucker" soon put everybody right with the world. Mys terious packages of home-made candy were appreciated. Mrs. l.abun Steeves chaperoned.

Uoney. Committees from the two societies, the Attentate and the Phil odosian, met with somo of the non-society members this week and arranged for definite inter-society rules to govern all of the women's organizations. That no undue advantage might be taken by the older societies, the initiators of the new organizations were permitted to choose 15 charter members from the non society girls of the university. These charter members who elected to start the destinies of the new stociety, are Grace Buuley, Mariou Barnes, Edith Bitd, Gladys Carson, Gertrude Dillard, ' r.tkel Fogg, Hazel rrecman, tvelyn Gordon, Helen Moore, Marguret Miller, Caroline Heubetz, Helen Sutchwell, Ks telle Satchwell, Kdith Stovel, Sarah Wil liamson and Helen Kose. A corresponding men's society will probably be organized late in the sem ester. William R- Wheeler, a graduate of Yale university, and at present on 'fur lough from missionary work in China, was a receut speaker betore the joint Y. M.-Y. W. C. A. cabinet officers. He presented the exceptional opportunities of the foreign field in graphic fashion. His address was greatly appreciated. Considerable speculation as to "who 'si who" on the mysterious "Iheda Ha ras," football stars of unknown gladi atorial capacity, was revealed Wednes day morning when the fourth issue of tho Willamette Collegian was distribut ed on the cnnipiM. This mysterious ag gregation turned out to b composed of former football men of lower class tame who, desiring to renew the days of their youth, elected to dabble in the gridiron mud baths with all unofficial letter or ganizations of the campus. sTo date, the sophomore football team is the only one to accept the challenge- The yell contest which has been con ducted during the past week will close this evening, affording to "Crown Prince" Austin, assistant noise king, who has the contest in charge. Inas much as felt felt Williumette tro phies are to be awarded the successful composers, the competition bids fair to be keen before evening. Repairs to the Websterian Literary halls are tirogressing satisfactorily ac cording to Miss Gertrude Cunningham of the Adelante committee in charge. Owing to the disastrous percipitations from the roof of vt allor nan last I spring, practically the entire furnish- ings had to bo renovated beforo being fit for use. Beaver board has been in troduced to replace the burlap and af ter staining has given these organiza tions ample cause for pride in the new mission like atmosphere. It is hoped that the new decorations will be com pleted in time for a gala opening cele bration on October 28. John L.

In all probability Dr. Lynn Harold Hough of the Gurrctt Biblical : Insti tute who was so favorably received by the Willamette student body last week will return to Salem for nnother ser'cs of daily talks, sermons and conferences next year. Ktforts are now being made to assure his return by arranging for his appearance at several big Methodist conferences which will be held on the Pacific coast and incidentally stop off at Willamette. Dr. Hough left Salem Saturday after noon for Tacoma and Seattle where lie is to speak several times before leaving for his home in Evauston, Illinois. Of much inportancc to the standardi zation of cntranco requirements to northwest colleges were the resolutions adopted by the association of college presidents in Eaton hull last week. Al though five elective credits were left to the respective institutions, the pres idents definitely decided that all appli cants for freshman entrnnce must pre sent three credits in English, two in toreign language, two in mathematics, one in social scienco and two in natural SlMOIl.'IV Dr. Melvin A.

"It follows that an extraordinary market has opened up for the consumption of our goods to the extent represented by gold importations. The greater the demand for goods abroad, the less goods we have to sup ply our own demunds and as the price is representative of supply and demand, an increase in price necessarily fid lows. "Tho extraordinary demand on this country has stimulated industry uud in many cases the profits are extraordin ary. As a direct result of the greater number of peoplo nre employed at rates of pay above normal, with the result that our supply of available goods, al ready heavily drawn upon by foreign buyers, is further called to stand the increasing purchasing capacity of our own people, a condition which furthc contributed to udvuncing the price o such things as are demanded by tho pco. pie ut large."
