THEY SHOOT PHEAsANTs.
Have Wrong Idea as to the Law-What
the Regulations are.

Hunters, according to all ac-
counts, are laboring under false
impression with reference to the
China pheasant law. As a result
of the many articles published on
the subject a confused idea seems to
have gained credence because the
new law thatt the legislature attempt
ed to pass failed of enactment. that
there is no law whatever on the
the subject, and that pheasants may
be shot at any time. The notion is
however, incorrect. The statute
stands now just as it did before the
legislature attempted the enact
ment Of the law prohibiting killing
entirely for two years. That is to
say, the old law is in full force and
effect, and under it p11easants can
not be lawfully shot until October
1st. which is the date on which the
sixty days open season begins.
It is said that in various parts,
laboring under the false impression,
hunters are shooting young pheas-
ants freely. The game officers
have heard of the matter, and are
taking steps to begin prosecutions.
This note of warning is sounded in
Order that all may be properly in
formed as to the law.

AFTER SAMPLES.
Committees Securing the County for
Specimens for the Lewis and
Clark Fair.

With difficulties meeting them at
almost every turn. because lever
people are showing an interest ID
the matter that might reasonably
be expected, the committee that
has the matter in hand of securing
the Benton exhibit for the Lewis
and Clark Fair is having toler-
ably hard time in getting samples
for the purpose. The subject is
one that should awaken the en-
thusiasm OF every resident OF the
county. and specimen-hunting
should be one of the aims of every
farmer as he handles his crop OF
hay, wheat. oats. barley, fruits,
vegetables. or whatever he has on
the ranch this season.
Samples of fresh fruit that are
brought to Mrs. Mary Harris Whit
by and to IT. L. French are put up
| in jars and a special process in can
ming keeps the fruit in its natural
color, making the exhibit doubly
attractive. Samples Of any kind
that are loaned for the purpose,
will be taken to the State Fair at
Salem in September, and the Nat
ional Grange in Portland in Nov
ember, being then returned to the
person loaning them. With the
donated specimens. however, il
will be different, as they. will &C
to the two places named, and then
will be taken to the Lewis and
Clark Fair.
It is desired that the Benton ex-
hibit be made as fine and as exten.
sive as possible. and in order that
it may be so, everyone is urged tc
| bring or send in samples, of all the
resources of the county. H. Z
French has been instructed by the
county court to go after any samples
of which an offer is sent in. Sample:
of Oregon woods are especially de
sired, and samples of building
stone, put in shape by the donor
are requested. Specimens of grass
es,-ln fact any thing that grow:
in Benton, is urgently asked for by
the committee.
Some samples have already beer
donated, and credit for them i:
freely given. Fine samples of cher
ries have been given by the follow
ing: Judge Waters, Mrs. William
Leadbetter. Prof. Coote, Mrs. Dun
ham, Mrs. Charles McHenry, Mrs
George Smith, Mrs. Langly, anc
Sol King. Credit for oats and bar
ley samples is also due Sol King

Man From Marion Has Experience
Along 1.-THE Pike
Leavenworth, Kas., June pa. A.
Bias, a citizen of Marion, Kas.. has
had a little experience since Tuesday
morning when he arrived in Leaven-
worth to visit the soldiers home with
his mother and sister. During his
short stay he was cleaned of a roll of
$55 in bills on the pike road between
LeavenWorth and the soldiers home,
and first showed his money in a saloon
he thinks was 1.-THE Little Bulldozer"
outside of the city limits.
Bias was in the court house yester-
day looking for Sheriff Meyers, as the
police department of the city told him
it had no jurisdiction where the Little
Budweiser is located. To a reporter
he told his experiences:
Il was once a member of the sol
diers' home, but have not been there
for several years past, having got a
back pension of some thousands of
dollars. I came here with my mother
and sister. who live near EttensOn, on
the electric line. Somehow or other I
became confused at the home and lost
them, and started to walk to Leaven-
worth. I went into this place on the
pike. and there drank a few glasses of
refreshing liquid. [ suppose / showed
my money and when I started to leave
was told by the bartender that a col
Ored fellow there would come to town
with me. I told him I was able to
come by myself, but the fellow insist
ed on coming. On the road the fellow
with me ran his hand down my hip
pocket and drew out $55, leaving me
25 cents. OF course demanded that
he put it back, but he said he did not
have to, so what could I do? 1 was
robbed, but then I guess I am in luck
that I was not slugged.'

Argentine. June 24.-The first car of
1904 wheat to reach here came in or
the Santa Fe yesterday from Ranch 1O1
in Oklahoma and was consigned to w.
s. Dickinson & co. There has for years
been a rivalry between western wheat
growers as to who would score first in
getting a carload of new wheat to mar
ket No fewer than so growers have
been figuring in the contest this year,
and Ranch 101 scored by sending in a
car on a fast stock train on the Santa
Fe and Southern Kansas railways.
John w. Radford, chief of the Kan
sas grain department, had ten men on
the lookout for new wheat and when
the first car reached the Argentine
yards the grain was inspected before
ten engine was unlocked from the
train. The samples We're personally in
spected by Mr.. Radford but they reach
ed the Exchange building is minutes
too late to get the wheat in Thurs Day s
market. It was no. ed and weighed
601a pounds to me el The berry
was of medium size, can and a trile
shrunken by carly cutting, but withal
the quality desired for good flour.

The soliciting committee appointed at

about $4,000 by subscriptions to defray
the expenses of survey and other pre-
ing of the line from either Jennings
or Dresden, situated on the Rock Is
land road to Oberlin. The promoters
of the enterprise propose to run this
road northwest to the coal fields and
southwest to the gulf for the grain out
let. They also guarantee if the $500

WANTED TO SHOOT.
Strike Breaker at San Bernardino Got
Drunk and Went Cunning.

One of the SANTA Fe strike breakers
managed to stir up lively trouble down
town this morning about 1890, says the
San BerDardino Sun. The fellow who
had been drinking enough to be noisy,
went into the Office saloon in Third
street and loudly announced that he
was a 'scab" and INDUCED in abusive
language until he was warned by the
bartender to keep quiet"
This angered the man, who pulled a
pistol, threatening to shoot the drink
dispenser or anyone else who attempt
ed to interfere. Leaving the saloon
the fellow fell into the hands of three
bystanders, but his fighting proclivities
were too much for them, though they
prevented him from using his pistol.
One of them received a bad punch in
the face as the shopman broke away,
running up the street.
About this time Officers Poppett and
Starke got into the game and ran the
warrior down just west of the motor
depot, where he had hidden in a dark
spot. He was still in a fighting mood,
but was quickly disarmed by the Off
GERS after a lively bout.
At the Jail the officers had another
big tussle with him, but he was quick
ly landed in a cell.
