CALL OFF YOUR DOGS

! The hunting season for bird, and rab-
BITS has closed, and State Game War
! den, Oregon Milton Dennis has issued
instruction to deputy wardcnS to show
/ no iavorS and to know no sentiment in
/ enforcing the law against the killing or
beng III possession Oi said game dur
ing the closed season. The attention OF
our readers is called to the Notice" OF
Deputy Warden William II. Foster. to
be found in another column OF THE
WfllG. The following review OF the
game situation will be of interest to
SpOrtsmcn:-
The season has been a fine one for
gunners. Rabbits have been fairly nu-
mcrous, but partridges have furnished
more sport than ior many years past.
/ ! he great restocking movement insti-
tutcd last winter had the effect it was
bound to have, and the only care OF the
gunner was to keep as quiet as possible
the great fun he was enjoying, so that
Sportsmcn from other cities would not
sWoop down upon Marvland
The result of the season has only
strengthened the fact that Western
birds are better adapted to this State.
Not only were they found months after
they were set out last spring in nu-
merous quantities. with large broods.
and in the same locality where iberat-
ed, but they proved conducive to better
sport. 1t has been demonstrated as
never before that they hide, when hunt
ed, more closely than the Southern bird,
and thus not only are the hunting in
stincts OF the dogs better developed, but
their good points can be shown off to
better effect
While there will be no further move
ment toward restocking this winter. as
there is no necessity for ii, the money
that annually comes to the State Game
Warden from licenses will be used in
the purchase of Western birds.

Fortunately, nobody was in the ca
boose, which was crushed like a paper
box, and a hall dozen freight cars were
spilled in all directions.
Practically all the passengers in the

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
IN WILMINGTON
And The Leader, Together With Their Contents,
Go Up In Flames Of Mysterious Origin

About four o'clock Thursday morn
ing Patrolmen William J. Davidson and
Edward Dutton discovered fire in the
boiler room of the Wilmington Candy
Company which is in the rear OF the
store OF Louis Jacoby, 224-226 Market
street The patromen hurriedly turn
ed in the fire alarm, but owing to a
confusion OF signals, it was some min
uteS before the district companies were
able to fix the exact location OF the
trouble. The fire seems to have been
burning iicrcely when first discovered
and by the time the engines were
brought to work the flames had eaten
their way into the centre of the Jacoby
store building where they were held by
the fighters for quite awhile. Four
teen streams OF water were being play
ed on the building, six at the front and
eight at the rear. But. as so often hap
pens in city fires, the hrcmcn were har-
asscd and hampered in the work by the
net work OF overhead wires. However
the men fought on desperately to keep
the flames from spreading, it being by
this time clear that the building OF its
origin was doomed. The adjacent
buildings were delugcd with water, and
this explains much OF the consequent
damage sustained. The entire block
on Market street seemed to be tor
rent. so great was the pressure and so
numerous the streams that were being
played upon the flames to hold them in
confinement BY eight o'clock the fire
was entirely under the departments
control, but the final dismission OF the
companies was not granted until l.
