the evening of the greatest century and
outlined some Of the discoveries that are
of great Importance to mankind. The
city welcomed the teachers right royalty.
The response by Supt. Littlefeld re.
counted the great things teachers
accomplish for man. His aim seemed
to be to magnify the profession and he
informed the audience that teachers
would undoubtedly do more for the
Philippines in short time than Spain
had accomplished in four hundred years.
Governor Geer was called on and said
that he came as member of the Board
Of Education, not to speak, but to listen,
and mentioned incidentally that he
brought Superintendent Alderman along
to do the talking, and tried TO convey
the idea that he could not make speech
but his audience seemed 10th to look at
IL that way. He never attended insti-
tutes, he said Had taught school three

lighted to see this magnificent audi

Our work is very near TO your heart, we
want you to come and see us at our

BENTON COUNTY
FARMER KICKS
On Enacting More New and
Complicated Game
Laws.

In the Weekly Oregonian appears a
synopsis OF bill to be presented to the
| legislature; and in this synopsis it is
proposed to have the shooting season
for Mongolian pheasants closed until
| 1905. Now, we as farmers protest
against this, for at least Benton county.
For should this become law, and be
enforced, grain fields would be alive
with them, and without doubt vast
areas Of grain would be totally destroyed
by the voracious birds. We could not,
neither would we, endure il.
Again, it is proposed to open the
shooting season Is or 30 days earlier;
but.the farmers of this locality demand
that it be made Is or 30 days later, for
the very good reason that our rush Of
work will then be over, 70 that the
farmer with his boys can take hand at
the birds along with the gun clubs.
Now, we might suggest TO our law.
makers that well enough is good
thing. For this whole game law busi.
ness is of doubtful benefit, since it
breeds contempt and disrespect for the
laws of our country, for both gun club
men and their hired men, as we'll as
their sous, openly violate these laws.
We include in the gun club all the town
and city gentry who jump in their
chaises and drive throughout the coun-
try and shoot from their vehicles every
bird that breaks lover, and that, too,
upon the public highway, and shooting
upon or from the public road in VIOLA
tion of the law.
What are our individual rights in this
matter OF game beasts and birds2 Where
has the city and town man a right to
shoot game? Certainly not on the
premises Of land owners, except where
permission is given. Certainly not on
the public highway. Well, then, where's
On the public domain, along and upon
meandered streams, lakes and upon
alien lands and as above stated, where
John Farmer and Widow Smiles give
permission. The farmer on his own
premises at least. Now, il the law in
