OIeSOhldll
The question at present puzzling the
game wardens is: us Wapato a lake or
not a lake?" 1t is now a wet spot. and a
very large wet spot, deep enough in some
places to swim steamboats, and deep
enough at any part to float ducks.
But the lake selected a location for itself
that In dry seasons is not a lake so far as
water goes, for it's water all leaks out and

ago under the swamp land act and belongs
to several owners. 1t is a fine field for

in any public lake or river in the State of
Oregon or in the Columbia river or In any
wholly owned by himself, his lessor or
licensor, which stands more than one hun
dred feet out from the shore or margin
of such lake or river, for the purpose of
shooting wild ducks, geese, swan other
water fowl therefrom at any time"
Warden Quimby has asked a leading law
yer for his opinion in the case and has re-
ceived the following:
I'm regard to Section 10 the court will
generally construe an act or part thereof
in such a way TO give il validity if il
is not clearly contrary TO the Constitution,
and in arriving at the meaning of any sec
ton of law the general intent and purpose
of the act will be taken into consideration.

IAN amusing incident Of college life has
just been related to me-, remarked Seth
Low at g little informal luncheon, recently.
"A Western seminary for young women
was having much difficulty in maintaining
discipline. 1t finally came to the ears of
the faculty that the students were prepar-
ing TO give nocturnal reception 10 a num-
Der OF young fellows from a neighboring
military school The visitors were to come
after niChtfall and be hOisted into the dor
mitories: in "A basket dropped from win

Zone professor at the SEMINARY agreed
TO take the matter into his own hands and
prepared a surprise for the tsansgressors.
After all the guests had made the trip in
safety he stole from the place where he
had been hiding and slipped into the
basket. The signal TO hoist was given, and
the professors upward journey began. He
was so much heavier than those who had
gone before that reinforcements were
called for above. At last the girls brought
the handle of the basket on a level with
the sill. The light from the window shone
upon the bald head OF the intruder. and he
was recognized. The professor heard one
frantic ecream OF terror in unison from a
dozen charming pupils. and then" Mr..
Low paused.
