VIOLATING THE
GAME LAW
ORCAs ISLAND HUNTERS SHOOTING
DEER AND QUAIL
Fish Commissioner Kershaw Hopeful of
Securing an International Hatchery
II. S. King and Family and Judge and
Mrs. Thacker Leave Today.

In letter to the editor of the ISL
ANDER well-known resident of Orcas
island says: II think that the atten
tion of the people of the county should
be called through your paper to the
way the game law is being broken on
Orcas island. There is hardly day
but what we can hear the reports of
the rifles of those who are hunting
deer and the shot-guns of those who
are hunting quail. 1t is not outsiders
only who are doing the hunting, but
many residents of the island as well.
Now what is the good of the law if no
one pays any attention to it2 | was
told few days ago that party hunt
lug back of Mt Constitution had found
two deer from which only the hind
quarters had been taken. 1t is hard to
express ones thoughts of person who
would do such an act. The deer are
hard enough to get without wasting
them when they are killed. IL there Is
a game warden he can find plenty of
work on Mt. Constitution"
The ISLANDER published two weeks
ago the substance of the provisions of
the game law applicable to the coun-
ties of western Washington. Last
year, upon the recommendation of a
number of residents of Oreas island,
the county commissioners appointed
Mr.. Dorviller, of East Sound, game
warden. If for any reason he does
not care to discharge the duties Of the
office another warden should be ap-
pointed Violations of the game law
should be reported to the game war
den, whose duty it is to investigate all
complaints and act accordingly. The
law gives him ample authority to assess
and collect fines. The rugged region OF
Mt. Constitution, with its lakes, its
springs of crystal water, its cliffs,
gorgss and park-like openings, ought
to be veritable spor'sman's paradise
and it is to the interest of every resi-
dent of the island to assist in giving the
deer and other game in this natural
preserve all the protection that the law
affords.
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1903-09-03

ordinated every private interest to the
public good and has rendered to the
people of the county as a whole far
greater service than most of our citi-
zens, who have no personal knowledge
of his work, can understand or appreci-
ate. He is man of studious habits
and high ideals, great reader, broad
and liberal in his views and exception
ally faithful and conscientious in
everything he undertakes. He is SO
modest and retiring in his manner
that he sometimes seems to stand in
his own light. The friends who have
learned to know him well enough to
appreciate his sterling qualities most
sincerely wish him the highest possible
measure of success in the larger field to
which he goes.

An International Hatchery

In conversation with the editor of
the ISLANDER few days ago State
Fish Commissioner Kershaw expressed
himself as being very hopeful of secur-
ing the consent, in few months, of
the Dominion government to the es-
tablishment and operation of an inter-
national sockeye salmon hatchery on
the Fraser river. 1t is not improbable
that stipulation covering this impor-
tant question may be incorporated in
the award of the Alaska boundary tri-
bunal, which is soon to begin its ses-
sions in London. Mr.. Kershaw re-
CARDS such concession as an absolute
essential to the perpetuation of the SAL
mon industry not only in Puget Sound
waters, but on the Fraser river also.
He is very confident that his plan of
bringing chinook salmon fry from the
Columbia river and Matching them in
large numbers at the hatcheries in the
streams tributary to Puget Sound will
be successful, for the experiment was
successfully tried at the Belfast hatch
cry two years ago, but it remains to be
seen whether the salmon turned out
from the Sound hatcheries will return
to the Sound or whether they will go
to the Columbia.
